Have a safe trip home sweetheart, enjoy your reunion... and don't forget about us!!

Congratulations!!!!!!




And another Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Susie -- sorry I never replied -- I had eye surgery last week and I'm still recovering -- I just saw this post this morning, and I also saw you already sent your AOS papers -- congrats!!!

I didn't send any copies of pay stubs -- it said on the sheet only if you felt it would help prove your case. I had already provided tax transcripts and a copy of my 2007 taxes -- so I didn't see a need to send them pay stubs, letter from employer, etc.








Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sally!!!! So happy for you and Jay!!! Congratulations & have a safe flight!!!!!

Thanks Kim, Jay just phoned and its all booked for 10am Monday. lol.

I will never forget about my friends on vj, I know i wouldnt of got this far without you.

We did the same thing. I included a copy of my 2007 tax transcripts and also had my HR manager write a letter on company letterhead.

We however messed up other parts of the application so just are patiently waiting our RFE.

Our I-485 has been transferred to California already but we treat each application as a separate application. There is only one copy of his passport, etc....Now all of that was attached to the I-485.......so we'll see..

It's so exciting how far everyone has come since January!

Good luck this week Sal!

Darren just received his SSN yesterday in the mail...took less than two weeks to get it...

We've been planning for the December wedding all week...hope to finished with that by next week...

So happy for you, Sally!!!

Have a safe trip and happy reunion Sally.

Blissful married life ahead!

Congrats, Sally!!! And welcome home, Saff!!!

Thanks Dawn

Time is flying!!!!!! It seems just yesterday we all filed for the K-1, now or soon all of us will have filed for AOS.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well. We are down to the last two weeks before he arrives. His last day of work was yesterday, so he is officially unemployed. In another week, he will be unemployed and homeless (but staying with his aunt until departure).

I admit I'm getting a bit nervous now, about all the changes that will be happening in our lives soon. Of course the biggest worry is money, and his getting a decent job here. But we have faith that everything will be fine in the end. It always is!

So many people ask why we didn't delay it until 'the time was right'. They don't understand that when it comes to the waiting involved with immigration, you can never totally plan, so there is NEVER a right time. So I just tell them it's like deciding to have a baby... if you wait until the time is just right to start, that time will never come.

NOA2 --- received August 11 !! OMG OMG ... now what ... lol

Oh my what a wait you had, glad you got your approval. Now it will be sent to the nvc and then on to the embassy in London. Good luck with the medical and interview.

so another 8 months ** sigh **

The next stages moves quickly, start preparing your docs for packet 3. London gives interviews within 3 weeks of reciept of packet 3.

You can contact nvc to see when its recieved by them and also they will tell you when its forwarded to the Embassy. If you have your medical before the interview you will recieve your visa within a few days of the interview. My timeline in my signature may give you some indication of the timeframes.

OMG!!!

You deserve many many HAPPY JUMP!!!

I am very happy for you! i hope the rest of the process will now go so much faster without any bumps.

You are almost getting ready to officially start your forever without the goodbyes.. times moves so much quicker now.

I have 3more weeks left here in the Philippines before the BIG move, there are still anxieties, like you we are also (or I am) worrying about money since I won't be able to work for the next few months but as you have said, everything will be fine.. God will make a way. So I am lifting up all my anxieties to God and just focusing on the excitement of seeing Ricky again after more than a year of separation.

Hoping and praying that Mounia(herol&mounia) will also share that the good news of their approval soon... I'd really want to see them getting approved before I leave Philippines.

Mounia, I hope you and hero are still hanging on tight... I hope that Lynda's approval will inspire you that approval after a long period of waiting is still very much possible. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Wooooooohoooo!!! Congratulations!!!!! Things will start moving faster now!!! So happy for the two of you!

CONGRATS! Now, the fun begins.

FINALLY!! You deserve it!!

And yes, things move quickly now! Definitely get the Packet 3 paperwork ready now, to save time. There will be a spot for you to fill out the date of arrival in the US, and the wedding date. London is very good at accomodating whatever date you put. From what I have seen, if you were to put down say, November 1st, your interview would be assigned for October 10th or so, even if there are open slots earlier. If you leave it blank, they will assign you an interview date far away as well. I'd advise putting a reasonable date 6 weeks or so in the future. Just my two cents.

Congratulations!

I can't believe how long Vermont takes to respond to RFEs!


Seconded...I was thinking of Mounia just the other day. I hope she is approved soon!

Thanks

I had been hoping to hear from Mounia soon too hope all is well

Congratulations!!!

A little birdie told me that Kim and Russ got their NOA2 today!

Well here I am again....... my hunnie is at home and I'm in Canada on business.....We were hoping his AP would be in by now so he could come on trips with me like this..but atleast I'm only gone until Friday.....


How is everyone?
