[Charles n Sue 0]

Well tomorrow is the big day..and im nervous as hell even thought im just mailing it.

I have the package sitting on the floor next to me And I have one thing to say about the process so far.

YOU PEOPLE ARE A GOD SEND!!!!

This site has been such a help to us in the past few weeks.

Sue and I had been looking into details for the past few months and the Govt site might as well of been written in a different language.

So Im a smart guy,let me talk to some one...I make an appt at the dept of homeland security (amazingly around the block from work).

After waiting 1hr I get to the desk and the best advice I get is "go to our web site"

But then i find this site..every day i got over every form and get our details together. and Finally I mail it tomorrow..

Im excited and nervous at the same time, obsessing over little details..went over the checklist today.....5times

passport type photos? gloss or flat (have gloss)

Staple the forms? Paperclip?

Write on the back of photos full names? How specific of where taken? addresses?

Express mail? Fedex? i know i want signature conf.

Im in florida so my Service center is in texas, But I seem to remember hearing they are getting forawrded to california?

I know im driving myself crazy senselessly, but if it is delayed even one additional day buy something I missed I would be upset with myself.

But I must say again, Having a group of people going thru the same thing or that have completed it already Is a great aid to us.

She was just here the whole month of november and even though only a few weeks ago it seems like longer.

Cross your fingers for us..

PS I see lots have dealt with canada (vancouver,monreal) anyone with experence in dealing with ottawa?

Any input I get is greatly appreciated

The postman asked me if I was sending something of value (non-monetary) or something expensive. I told him

I believe I sent my application registered mail and it was on a Wednesday.

He said that when my package was received that I'd receive the green card (chuckles) back in the mail letting me know it was delivered.

You can also track it on-line.

So...if you send it tomorrow then it will probably arrive on Saturday (at TSC) and no one will be there to pick it up. So just be prepared to receive notice that it has arrived and there will be someone to get it early Monday morning.

I also live in Florida so I'd assume your timeframe could be like mine.

Good luck!
