Did you have everything ready to go before your NOA2 got to you Liz? [Just curious because I'm probably going to do mine early so I don't have to scramble last minute. That and I'm a planner so this wait time is killing my OCD tendencies haha!]

hehe...OCD, huh? Yeah, I have a bit of that too. I had most of the stuff ready, I waited on things like printing the paystubs and the employment letter just so that I could have a recent date on them.

I'm so worried I'll forget something though!

Peet - Can I ask what your fiance (i've temporarily forgotten his name, sorry!) sent you to go with the I-134?

Wait...it's Jack right??? hehehehe! I'm still a bit loopy today..lol!

Hugs, Liz

Self diagnosed OCD of course. =] :thumbs:

Good to know I can go ahead and get most of it ready now, it'll make things easier when it actually does arrive. Johnny and I are thinking we probably won't receive ours until July, as we sent our application in early March. Hopefully things are smooth sailing from here on out for you and Patrick, Liz!

I bet you will get it in July...unless something really strange happens that is..lol! You could go ahead and get things like your tax returns, W2's, 1099's...things like that. That way you have them all ready!

Thanks Lindsey...I think the hardest part is all behind us!

Hugs, Liz

And I got notice today also :P

We are expected the 27th of July!

Liz, it is the I-134 and just tell Pat to send the checklist asap, together with the forms he has to fill out.

There will be time enough to get everything together.

Don't be as silly as I was and wait until you actually have most of it, it is wasted time.

:dance: YAY...congrats Peet and Adokenai! :dance:

Peet - Thanks for the info! He got Packet 3 yesterday but we're going to slow it down just a bit ourselves....he wants to make sure that the interview will be in August sometime so he has time to get the funds together for the medical and shots.

Hugs, Liz

Peet - Thanks for the info! He got Packet 3 yesterday but we're going to slow it down just a bit ourselves....he wants to make sure that the interview will be in August sometime so he has time to get the funds together for the medical and shots.

ok, I just got the info on that today:

Physical: 155,-- euro

X-ray: 50,-- euro

I got the DTP and BMR shotsdone at my own doctor for 52,-- euro

From what I understand, that is it.

The interview will cost 99,56 euro

oh, he needs to bring postage to return the passport also, which is 7 euro.

Can you imagine that I am happy my son is still 14, a few months later and I would have had to pay the same for him.

But now he can skip the x-ray and his physical is cheaper. :thumbs:
