We got our NOA1 today. Not the most exciting part of the process but hey it's a start

Thought I'd share

Found it weird though.. says my file is pending at the National Benefits Center. I thought they were processed at the CSC or VSC ?

Leaving to see my husband for a week tomorrow. Which me luck at customs at the Dorval Airport in Montreal. Bringing a letter from my employer, our I-130 and I-129f file so far, my lease(even if it expires on July 31st), utility bills, pay stubs, my work scheduled that shows that Im on vacation. Anything else you think wise I should bring ? Or do I seem covered ? I get so stressed that they'll deny me entry

Oh and I have my itinerary of course that shows my return flight on July 2nd.

Thanks a bunch for the advice

Seems like you have enough information. I in the states now visiting my wife and that is what i do I tell them i'm visiting my wife, I show job letter bank statements and i'm through. good luck. I have never been asked abou whether i have filled or not and i have never disclosed that. Answer Questions that they ask ONLY. Good luck

Agreed... seems like you have enough proof so you should be good at the PFI.

Congratulations on the NOA1 it may not be exciting but it is a step closer to being with your SO.

Good luck

Not yet

My flight is at 4:30(EST) and I don't arrive in Denver until 10:15(Mountain Time), but leaving relatively soon

Thanks for the wishes

Well, I had less problems at customs this time than I did last time when I was visiting my boyfriend and not husband. Then again, I think the guy was distracted cuz when he asked me why I was going to Colorado, another customs agent talked to him, he handed me my passport and said have a nice trip.

It's also the first time my bags didn't get opened.

*Note to self, apparently, cleavage is a good thing at customs
