Hi everyone!

I have good news to report. After tons of nervewracking waiting and waiting, I received an email notice saying my I29F petition has been approved on Dec 10, 2007 (yesterday) So I am just waiting for the packet to come in the mail with the next set of instructions. I am going to look on the site to try and have my fiance who is in New Zealand start gathering everything he needs. I think he did some of it already but we held off on the medical part to make sure we did it in the right time frame. Anyone know if things will start to go any quicker now? I hope so. Its been a while since I have been on the site. I spent lots of time on it over the summer, but during the waiting period not so much. I need to refresh my memory what comes next!

Any suggestions are helpful, and for those who filed in July, you should be hearing something soon!!!

Best,

Christine

Congratulations!!!

Things should go a lot quicker now that you are out of the balck hole that is VSC. I would recommend taking a look at the timelines for your embassy to get a general idea about wait times.

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Congrats!!!

Wow looks like you and I applied very near the same time. Tell me, is the next step very tricky, when should he have the medical part, my noa2 hasn't come in the mail yet althought it was sent Monday according to the email. I bet it shows up tomorrow.

Trying to get an idea of whats next, I vaguely remember reading about getting tax returns from past years and a letter from employer.
