Hi All,

I am getting ready to run off to the FedEx store to mail off my I-130 packages. I am doing 2: 1 for my wife, 1 for my stepson. I had been thinking of sending to packages, but one of my VJ friends said she was sending hers in one package. Which is better, or does it matter? If I go the single package route, what's the best way to present them within so they are clearly shown as separate but together (i.e. clips, separate envelopes, etc)?

I don't have experience with filing two petitions but I'd think sending them together would be best. You'll save on the postage but more importantly it might help to ensure the petitions are connected from the start. Putting a big clip around each of the separate petitions would work, or two envelopes within the one FedEx package would work too.

Thanks y'all. My docs are now neatly ordered and will go in one package. Anything you say past this point will be too late, because I am heading out the door :)

Bye. See everyone on the flip-side.

No Mark, wait! Send them in five boxes! :jest:

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!
