beans

lol easy like Sunday morning

My nickname is beans...I like beans and thats the name that my SO gave me. I'm down with it.

lol Bagged milk is more of an eastern thing. I grew up in Ontario we always had the bagged milk. Move to Manitoba and it stops...makes me sad actually.

Already have the bank slips printed and my US funds bank account is ready to roll lol

Looks like a good list. I'm stealing it.

Okay, I lied lol I saw it in the guides for K1 in the post NOA2 section.

I remember reading on the Vancouver consulate page that they just need a copy of the NOA2 and not the original. Which thats means he could just scan and e-mail to you? I'm not 100% certain though...I'll go look

Thanks for your help guys. lol I just like having everything done fast. I don't know what I'll do when I have nothing left to do but wait...hmm.

Those look fantastic! Happy Easter!

So, we got approved earlier last week. I haven't called NVC haven't received packet 3 but have looked at the link for it.

The question is if I complete the DS-156 - DS-160's now prior to the consulate receiving our petition will it make a difference? Will they get angry? lol

I saw that on their website today, for a moment I thought I was at a 'fake'

Hang tight most December filers are getting approved. But you can't really freak out until six months comes. *shrugs*

lol So I showed Jeremy this last night and then it caused a little argument which then turned into a quiz of how many European countries I can name...lol We're both too patriotic for our own good.

I'm at work cruising VJ making $40/hour AND I just had the best chocolate chip cookie ever. ANDD I rode my bike to work for the first time today and it also made me happy.

Congratulations!!

I had a Tim's coffee this morning and I didn't win anything. However, does anyone remember that story where some kids found a cup on the ground and they rolled it up and won the car?

Nice to hear from you Janka! Happy Easter - I hope the bunny has something good for you! Our garden bunny left lots of chocolate looking balls in the garden but me thinks you better not eat those kind!

I am still worrying about you going to the states to someone you do not even know. I hope he is not a brutal fellow out of the military. And it would be so nice to find someone your own age and dream your future together! That is my wish for you!

Looking forward to seeing you in June.

Morning Grandma,

I received your birthday card a couple of days ago and I've just been so busy I forgot to e-mail. I'm sorry.

Anyways, a few things have changed Jeremy and I's petition has been approved so now I just have to go to my interview in Vancouver. So chances are your very generous birthday cheque will go towards that or any vaccines that I may require.

Also, I'll be stopping by in June, hope y'all are ready for me!! Love you, thanks again!!

My grandma is nuts. I realize I tried to make her understand that we aren't strangers lol far from it and he's not some crazy ex-military man. But things like this make me to tell just to shut up already. My oma and opa are all cool very supportive they like him, my parents are good is as well..so #######?

Agreed. USCIS/CRIS is Homeland Security. NVC is Department of State. USCIS will not update their online case status system to reflect your NVC status. If you are curious, you call NVC. Their phone number is on the travel.state.gov website. Have fun!

Congratulations!

Please complete a timeline so we are better able to assist you.

Have you recieved your NOA1 yet? Have they cashed your cheque?

If yes to both those questions, you have only been waiting two months which is still very early. Patience is a virtue. Good luck to you.

Why are all you guys fretting over 2x2 pics at costco? It is only the beneficiary that needs a 2x2 photo correct? Seems like you guys are getting these of yourselves.

I am the beneficiary...

Mmm vanilla bean coffee!

Have a safe flight!

Agreed, wait until you are past your processing times. It sucks but it doesn't make sense to call before you're out of their guidelines.

Also, here is my rant...COSTCO won't do 2" x 2" photos. Jerks..lol so I'm going to try what NatPatBen did take it by myself and see if it works..I got nothing but time to do it over and over again anyways lol.

OMG today is awesome for approvals. Congratulations everyone!!!!

Thanks guys, and Carmen that's sweet thank you. I'm happy today hehe. I don't care too much if it takes awhile after this part some of the worst is over and for that I'm grateful. I don't know if Jeremy knows yet, I left him a message on Skype..didn't want to wake him up. Well that's a lie, I did want to wake him up but I decided against it.

Thanks everyone!!!
