Hello all!

I signed up on VJ over a month ago anticipating my engagement with my (now) fiancé. Even though this is my first forum post, this website and these forums were a HUGE help in creating my I-129F package, which my fiancé and I mailed yesterday. I feel confident enough with the information here that I could avoid lawyer costs, and so I'd like to thank everyone on here who has made a contribution to this website.

Since my fiancé lives in NJ we are expecting to go through TSC, so we'll be around for a while!

Best of luck to everyone and their visa journey!

Happy Easter,

Rebecca & Chase

Welcome and congratulations! Yes, no need for a lawyer, VJ is a God-send and without it, I for one, would be lost. From what I've heard, VJ is more accurate and thorough than the lawyers that some people have hired and it's FREE! Good luck on your journey through this process: follow the guides step-by-step, be patient and you will be fine. Happy Easter!

Welcome! Keep in mind there have been a few persons who recently sent in their petitions, who were actually transferred or directly sent over to CSC instead of TSC (as per the March 27th directive). So maybe you will get lucky! :)

Thank you everyone for your kindness :)

I have been in England the past 2 weeks and did not know this as I was not keeping check! Even if I am not transferred at least the pile has gone down a little for TSC. Love when I can be optimistic about things!
