I spent a couple of weeks searching for an immigration law firm to help me out ... then I stumbled onto this site, read and re-read and re-re-read the FAQs, FORUMS, and GUIDES, and we have decided to tackle this process on our own. This is very exciting. Based on what I have read tho, I think I will take the $!800 I saved to hire a lawyer and instead get a gym membership to work-out the upcoming stress from all the waiting it looks I will be doing .....

So .... my very first question. I saw the notice that the I-129F Rev 5/23/06 will be accepted until 2/18/07. Since we are just starting to gather info for the initial petition, I seriously doubt we will be able to get this done by middle of next month. But the FAQ and USCIS links for the I-129F form still link to this old form ... where can I download a new post-2/18/07-acceptable I-129F form?

Double check the USCIS website for the lastest version just before you mail your petition. If 2/18/07 passes and the USCIS has not updated the form it is still valid. (I'm pretty sure!)

The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are;

you end up being complete with your loved ones."
