External check on the genital area? wha?? really?

wow dlopez and kimandchris, i had no idea you guys were so close to the home stretch, well done, i'm very envious but still happy for you

kim and russ i hope you have a wonderful and magical day and that it's everything you dreamt of and hoped for

kelzm thank you for all the info on your drivers test etc, such necessary stuff i hadn't even begun to think about

still hanging in there, no touches, i'm hoping processing at vermont and california will speed up after the election

I'd like to know what Hump Day is too?

Does anyone think that maybe once the election is done with processing may speed up? I heard that they processing had slowed down due to them processing naturalisation and citizenship apps before the election, is that true?

haha i was too quick, i'll keep looking too.

it seems the main dmv site for NC (ncdot i think is what it is called) is down. Their links don't appear to be working. That is where the free handbook would be too. that sucks!

Have they all left town for the weekend and can't fix their site? LOL!

will have to keep trying their site over the coming week and see if they get it up and running again.

thanks for trying, i'll try the main site in a day or two, see if they've fixed it.

haha i was too quick, i'll keep looking too.

Michelle try this link:

http://www.welcometocarolina.com/nc-dmv-.asp

looks like there is a free download of the drivers handbook there.

thanks for that, funny it's off a real estate website, smart of them tho.

my apologises. i meant to say Kim and chris and lisa and tim at end of last post (got the names mixed up lol)

i'm not surprised, there's quite a few of us now

am hanging in there but going from stalking the forums and igor's list to not wanting to go near either cos it's all too depressing

and omg i never even thought about parrallel parking on the wrong side of the road, eek something new to worry about

i did go searching for the handbook for North Carolina but couldn't seem to find a free one, everyone wanted me to pay them so i decided to keep looking.

Yes...I went to my Doctor for that test, and then straight to medlab with the bit of paper. Cost me nearly $300..but I did find out all I needed was the tetanus. Canada keeps school records..but when you are as old as I am..well...

We're going backwards too, and I can't get my head around that. It seems every time the list shows an approval we go the wrong way. ...and I was really quite discouraged tonight to read that someone got a noa2...who MET their partner for the FIRST time nearly three weeks after we filed. How they heck does that happen, if it is meant to be first in first out?

It's so discouraging, tho i've decided to keep busy and take on Kiwiana's suggestions about the drivers test and my cv etc, that should keep me out of trouble

double post *ack*

you should try for the triple, i hear you get more points for that hehehe

Hello again.

Was just wondering if there's anything we can do between the time of the NOA1 and NOA2? I was reading some of you got fingerprinted and up to date on shots. Can/should we do that while we wait?

If your fiance has lived overseas at any time (usually between 6 months to a year or more there) since the age of 16 then he will need a police check from that country. If he hasn't then I think the US embassy here in Auckland does it for him for the New Zealand police check (is that correct? anyone?)

If you are a Kiwi, and need the NZ equivalent of a police check, or even in my case I only live in NZ, the embassy in Auckland does the NZ police check for you . I have read they won't accept ones you get for yourself. I downloaded the correct paperwork, but as it won't be accepted I never submitted it.

thanks for that Kate, i was wondering, i haven't lived anywhere else other than Auckland and i thought i read somewhere that the consulate does it for us. Another thing i wanted to ask about was the titre? test, do we go to our doctor for that?

Do you think once the elections are over processing will speed up again? and I really don't understand why we're going backwards on Igor's List, going backwards seems to indicate that people are getting in ahead of us and i don't understand that

tick tock tick tock

omg i hate waiting, nothing, not even a touch and i've never wanted to be touched so much in my life

i am so like this i'm sure half the time Rob must feel like a possum caught in headlights

aarrgghh

so how's everyone doing?

Hi guys,

I absolutely would not worry about what to wear to the interview. I made sure I was tidy and that was about it. The reality is that you stand and talk to them through a high counter with a glass window with a speaker and microphone set up. They likely can't even tell if you have jeans on or not There are also a lot of people going through there from students to workers to holiday makers all in different forms of garb. I don't think you'll be judged at all on what you wear (just you know... wear something!).

I don't wanna be the stick in the mud here but i was thinking if they want to see my cv and see that i'll be able to find a job and not be a burden on the government, i thought dressing nicely, like for work, would be the best idea. Now after reading all these posts I just don't know.

well i guess i'll just have to join you stalking lol, something to do on a slow night shift, thank goodness they haven't blocked this website yet

wow the forums have been busy and i've missed it all, stupid email alert hasn't been coming thru, i did think we were all being rather quiet and i've been trying not to keep lurking like a stalker hoping for some news

Russell just called me from LAX! His next flight leaves in 40 minutes... I sure hope he makes it!

woohoo, omg you must be so excited

That's awesome news Kim, i'm so happy for the two of you

ok thanks for that, just checked now and sadly, no touch *sigh

Altho i know realistically not to even expect anything happening until december sometime, i do check the uscis website twice daily just in case, but can someone show me what a touch looks like? i'm pretty sure nothing has happened cos the page looks exactly the same as it did on the day our NOA1 was rec'd but i'm just curious.

trance

thanks so much for that Kim, i do try really hard to read what's in the forum and on the govt websites but i just seem to get so confused, i don't know why, i'm not a stupid person, truly i'm not ; /

oh and kate i was going to ask for the recipe to that potion but then i had this vision of us standing around stirring a cauldron so perhaps you could just chuck some of those potions my way?

i checked out Igor's List for the first time, 270, 'nuff said

anyways, just so i have this clear, we've already paid the initial $455.00 with the I-129F, am i right in thinking that when it gets to NVC we will need another $470.00??

Hey Kim how did you find out that 2 packages were sent from NVC to NZ?
