Well, we'll be filing next week at the NSC office. I'm hoping that everything goes through by the end of August as we've planned our ceremony for September. We have actually planned for a delay since we only plan to have a non legal ceremony outside the US for the sake of our families. And then when everything goes through, we'll have the legal ceremony done in the US. Good luck to all of you guys!!!

Be careful with making plans ahead of time. There are plenty of topics where people have scheduled their wedding and etc and their papers didn't go through on time and they had to cancel everything loosing a lot of their deposits. Don't try to plan until the visa in hands already. Just a suggestion.

I ALWAYS plan things ahead of time but thanks to this site I learned not to plan ahead with something like that because if i had scheduled a wedding and my SO wouldn't come here on time and I had a delay and rescheduled everything that would softly kill me inside. Enough of the VISA headache, i wouldn't want to get another one on top by rescheduling something important as a wedding.

Good luck!

I know exactly what you mean. This is why we plan to have a non legal ceremony outside the US regardless of the process. The only way these plans could be upset is if I get my interview date on the exact date that we've made our plans for. And since the embassy serving my location doesn't open on Saturdays, I think we're pretty safe. Thanks anyway... and good luck...

I guess I qualify as a March Filer also. My NOA1 was received on March 1st. Glad we have our own thread now. I am hoping to have my fiancee' here by late summer. Wow, that seems so far away! Want it be nice to finally have the "process" finished; no more emails, no more chatting, and no more huge long distance bills. :)

Good luck everyone!

hehe, I'm looking forward to not having to pay long distance anymore, too! But I'm not looking forward to the huge AOS bills...

I know exactly how you feel about the emails, chatting, and bills. My fiance and I have to talk several times a day and it is killing both of us. I never want to see another phone card ever again after he gets here!!! The worst part is hearing "you have one minute remaining!" :angry: it'll be so nice to have endless conversations, lol. I hope he will be here also by later summer even though I am not counting on it. Good luck to everyone! :thumbs:

yep, I know how you all exactly feel about the phone card bizness! Sometimes they are total rip offs. The card says 50 mintues, but you only get to talk for 30! The background noise is such a nuisance as well, especially if they are talking from a cell... you just want to scream. There is already slightly a language barrier between the two, then you have to speak and listen through the noisy static and train whistles too... Ai yi yi! :blink:

I'd like to second that question. A response would be very enlightening...

That just means they have received your packet, and it is heading onto the next step. It is your NOA1.

Hello all,

I'm guessing I'm in the March boat too !!!

I sent the I-129F package the other day, I think my lovely bride to be,has a permanent smile now.

We are so happy!

We have been reading the different time lines here and on the Gov. site, a short waiting period would be great, but we're being real about it.

We figure 6 to 8 months for the entire process.

If we're wrong we hope it's for over estimation.

ME!
