cello tape is the work of the devil...haha that must be why my nick name is 'the tape queen!' Kevin always has trouble opening my packages because I like to make sure they are secure and sealed....using the dhl trick, the package that my petition is in arrived in UK at 3:59am...wow REALLY fast! that's not to say it's in london yet, but it's at least in the country! kevin sent for his police report on tuesday...i also have been nagging him to get his medical records from his doctor...i guess i need to get myself in gear as well! i already have arrangements with my employer for my letter from them...i sent for and received my tax transcripts in march (wishful thinking back then), have the I-134 filled out already just have to print it out and get it signed and notarized....as for recent paystubs, i'm wondering if it has to be the actual paystub....my employer has all my paystubs available to me online...i wonder if printing that out would be acceptable...that way he could take the most recent ones with him and i wouldn't have to wait till the last minute to send all the paperwork i've got here for him....it truly is going fast now, but that's ok with us!

I was extremely surprised how fast it went once it reaches London. its nice knowing you have some control over it once its there and sending back packet 3. I had to bug Damian so much to get his medical records and once he did he was thankful I bugged so much cause he ended up not needing any jabs and saving money. it took about a week to get them once he actually phoned! and the police report only took 4 days which we were very surprised about.

Now I'm bugging him to get his International Drivers Permit so we can finally sign his car over to him in his name. that is if PA can make up their minds if they'll let him or not!!

Now I'm starting to stress about getting married and AOS..

Hopefully things go fast for the both of you!

if you find out stuff about PA driving, would you mind passing that info on? (I'm up by Bloomsburg, if you've ever heard of it haha) Kevin drove my car here the last time he was here...and he has plans to buy a car once he gets here...i thought he'd be ok at least for the 90 days that the K1 is valid....when i talked to my insurance agent, they told me i could just put him on mine once he got here and we are married? dhl is saying that the package is in london-heathrow right now...waiting for the noa2 and waiting for this is like night and day!!!! looking at your timeline, it now looks more possible for him to be here for july 4th! i know everyone's case is different...i guess i'd better get a package in order to send out to him! you are so lucky to be on to thinking about the next step and knowing that Damian will be there in just over 2 weeks!

Bloomsburg! we go to the bloomsburg fair every year. I live right outside of Harrisburg. I did tons of research with the license what I found out so far is... He has to get an international drivers permit.. which you just go to a post office in England to get and I believe it costs about $10 and is good for a year. there's a few things that confuse me tho so i wrote to penndot on friday so hopefully they'll get back to me in the next few days and i will give you all the details. I know that he can't get a license until you get married because you have to show the marriage license. so I will keep you posted once i get an answer from penndot.

London should have your case tomorrow! that's exciting!! hopefully they still have their butts in gear and get that packet 3 out to you very fast. I was so surprised how fast things went for us. I called DOS to make sure they got my packet 3 and to my surprise they scheduled the interview date and that came and gone so fast! I was stressing about all the paperwork and sent him so much and he didn't end up needing alot at all. just the I-134 and pay check stubs. all that work and all they needed was the stuff i didn't put together (the co-sponsor did) haha oh well its really an anti-climax! best of luck to you!! Its nice seeing a fellow Pennsylvanian/Britain..

WOW...tomorrow....that is awesome! Yes, the Bloomsburg Fair is the reason most people know Bloomsburg if they know Bloomsburg at all! haha...it IS nice to see a fellow PAer/UKer...seems alot go to CA or FL...but i really like my seasons here in good old PA!

[Damian&Kelly 16]

I agree. I like the seasons too. last year I spent the summer in England and when i got back I felt like i missed out on the summer cause it was cold and rainy the whole time. I love England but the weather I will not miss!

hey everybody!

So how far are the most Feb.filers?

Well I am kinda concerned, my Fiance got the letter from NVC the 12 of Arpil saying that it will be sent to my consulate in Germany.

so far I am still waiting to receive the packet! Ate the embassy guide here on visajourney it says that my embassy will take to 1 month untill they sent

the packet to me...but it is allready more than a month! Well I'll prolly write an email to the embassy to find out whats going on. I mean it happened that mail disappeared and files totally got lost...

good luck to everybody!

You can call the Department of State to find out whether packet 3 has been sent or the current status of the petition, thier number is 202-663-1225.

Good luck

Thanks for you help Sal and Jay!

I just got in touch with my consulate here in Germany! I found out that they sent packet 3 to my old address in Georgia and not to my german address. But they are really nice and I asked them if they could send me another package to my address here. And they replied they'll send out another package tomorrow! Now I finally know what is going on...so I hope this won't happen to anybody else who is filing! I review the copy of our petition if made a mistake and forgot to put in my foreign address but I didn't, I wrote it in there twice! I guess mistakes just happen! Good thing we're still in time since I won't be able to leave my country til the end of August!

If u guys don't receive anything from the foreign consulate within 2 weeks, get in touch with them!!!!!
