Not an hour ago I went to the post office & sent that I-129F packet off FINALLY! I almost didn't want to, I've worked on it for so long now it almost felt like my labor of love child, hehe. I'm trying to unwind now, relax, and just wait for the powers that be to put this process in motion.

Thanks to everyone here for their help and patience, it's just so good to find an online community full of people going through the same things. It's good to know you're not alone through a nerve jangling process like this.

I'll be keeping up with my timeline as everything comes to pass! [And of course, asking questions which I'm sure there will be more of!]

Thanks loads again everybody :)

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. :wacko:

Yes, I'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. When I filled in my timeline today, it said something about approximating my adjudication to be in December but I took it with a grain of salt like "Not to be cynical, but I'm not placing any bets on that puppy".

I'm just gonna try to go with the flow and focus on keeping my relationship strong while waiting. I figure, if I pretend we won't be married for another year then I can only be OVERJOYED if this thing comes through by May or June of next year or something. May be a goofy way of doing things, but it works for me.

Unless the approval doesn't come through until we're in nursing homes, then I'll be writing to my congressman for sure...
