Dear All

I am putting together a shreadsheet listing the costs that we have incurred so far and the future costs involved with our visas.

It occurs to me that in the age of energy saving and efficiency it would be a good idea for me to share this with anyone who would be interested in using it! I am including everything from cost of passport photos; postage; documernt copy right through to the biggies such as filing fees, medical/vaccination costs, travel to and from interviews etc.

Obviously it is a work in progress but if anyone, who can perhaps see the light at the end of the USCIS tunnel, would like to comment on anything that may not appear immediatly abvious to use newbies then that would be super. I can then make the spreadsheet available (I'll work out how- perhaps via e-mail?) to anyone who wants to use it and you can then just put your figures in as you go along or use it as an advance planner if you have not yet started the process/are at tghe beginning. I've not seen anything similar but apologies if there already is!

Anyway, please let me know what you think and if you would like a copy, should be done by the end of the week - Free of Charge of course!!!

Have a good day,

Emma

Married 16th April 2007 - Seattle :)

17th April completing military paperwork (Honeymoon?)

Emma flew back to UK 18th April 2007 :(

Change of name documents arrived for Emma and children

Fedex Em's paper work for I-130 to E in US - 10/05/07

E completed all his paper work - 13/05/07 (I'm impressed!)

Emma had nightmare that all her details were filled out incorrectly and actually spent 6 hours thinking it was real - 13th May !!!!!!

first hiccup - E "out" with work can't get to post office now until 21st May!!!

24th May 2007 - I-130 posted

29th May 2007 - I-130 received at 7am (somebody starts work early!!)

I was thinking excel, I am under the impression it is easier for everyone to use and I am think more people will have the Excel program.

I plan to put a public health warning on it, something along the lines of "Caution filling in this document may cause anger and sleepless nights!" - My version is already looking quite depressing, however, my lovely husband says we're worth it :lol:
