Hiya all! Lending my own post in the fray - we sent out our application to VSC on the 17th and tracked the progress to the destination via USPS. It says it reached them on Friday before MLK day. So, here we wait with fingers crossed! Good luck all!

I am visiting Marco on February 8th! We found that any travel during February to Europe was much much cheaper than we've ever seen. My ticket (round trip) was only $457. He'll be here sometime in March. We were hoping to time it that he gets back to Germany and doesn't have to wait too long for his interview...around June/July...

Good luck to everyone!

As far as travel tips, I'd assume you are using websites like www.expedia.com, and www.travelocity.com to find out who is offering the cheapest airfare. Once you identify the airline, go directly to their website to book. This will save you $5-$10. Also, I REALLY HOPE EVERYONE IS GETTING FREQUENT FLYER MILES! With all of our long trips, these can REALLY add up!

Anyone looking to travel after the beginning of May (the start of the US summer travel season) should try to book as soon a possible. The price only goes up the closer we get. My SO changed his arrival time from the first weekend in May to the last weekend in April and saved $200.

If you plan to travel anytime in July, prepare to pay more no matter what.

Booking directly with the airline, instead of a ticket site, usually saves money and may earn a frequent flyer bonus for doing so.

And check out the price difference if you arrival/depart on different days of the week. My SO usually leaves London on Saturday (arriving here in Sunday), and departs on a Monday. Big difference. And we get an extra day together!

That's great! I hope they cash mine this week too!

Funny how exciting a check cashing event becomes when you play the visa waiting game!

Nerve wracking to say the least... All the very best on yours - it should happen any day now!

It took some 3 working days for ours to get cashed... You took the right precautions this time, all would be fine, and hopefully you'll hear something today! *fingers crossed*!

Susie - my package was sent off the same day yours was and I have not received NOA1 yet either, nor has my money order been cashed. We lost a day this past week with MLK Day. Besides Imtay had 10 days from mailing to receipt of NOA1. We are still within the timeline. Hang in there!
