I have been to the US embassy before to get something notarized. It went really well. :)

Of course we do Thanksgiving!! It's by far my favorite holiday. We usually do normal tico dinner with the family, and I make apple and pumpkin pie. It's so hard to get turkey down here, and I don't mind eating ayote soup and picadillo for dinner. Yummy!

And I hope I have an approval soon. I hope we *all* have approvals soon! It's been TOO LONG.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
