My parents visas were issued right after their interview last May 2nd. Dad received a text msg on May 6th that his visa is ready for pick up at the 2Go branch. I couldn't track his visa in the 2go site, it says invalid up till now. However, I can track my mom's & her visa was delivered today May 7th.Don't know what's up with the delivery part because I specifically indicated PICK Up option for both of their visas when I registered them in ustraveldocs. site. Not that I'm complaining.

So they both have their visas 3 business days after the interview.

LOL! I can imgaine,thats why I said "a bit'. The immigration part is less hassle for now.

Hubby is coming in Monday morning by God's grace and I dnt even have energy to receive him.

i am trying to print out all the necessary forms for SSN, DMV/state ID etc cos I know I wont be in the best condition to drive him around for the next couple of weeks.

I had planned to make some fresh meals and possibly rearrange the bedroom a bit but those ideas are already flying out of my head cos I cant even lift myself right now LOL.
