M&ME

Card received today.

We received the same message today too!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Congrats to all who have received approval! For those still waiting, don't lose hope, you're very close!

Congrats Ritzz & tinypyramids!

We're still patiently waiting for good news of our own.

Congrats!

Do all offices allow for walk-in Biometrics?

Bio metrics 5/2

We didn't use any fancy folders or dividers. We have a coverletter with a table of contents. I figure that they look at thousands and thousands of these petitions, I doubt that we're presenting anything they haven't seen before.

Received NOA1 today!!! Dated 3/22

Delivery confirmed for us today. C'mon NOA1!

Finally got it out! Mailed to the CSC today. Should be there in 2-3.

Hi Everybody! Good to be back. Finally getting ready to send our package out tomorrow. I'm glad to see so many familiar faces.

What's the best way to send it, USPS priority with a green return card? (I don't know if they let you do both) Or just buy the tracking number?

When we got married, we got copies of the Marriage Certificate in German and International Copies. By extract, do you mean the International Marriage Certificate? I submitted only an original International Marriage Certificate. But I believe that only copies are required, and they do not forward original documents to the NVC. so you'll have to send another original to the NVC as well.

Along with the International Marriage Certificate, I sent an explaination that it is an Official Original document signed and stamped by the Standesamt. I did this because another VJer got his International Certificate rejected, initially, for not including this statement.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Thanks,

Matt

Tina received her GC today in the mail. It was wonderful. Let's see, that would be 53 days since POE give or take. I hope your Welcome letter comes soon. It's funny, the GC comes in a blank white envelope. Don't throw it away, it's not junk mail.

I guess you could call it a welcome letter. It says "welcome" on it, LOL. It looks just like the NOA we got from the USCIS back at the beginning and says they received the documents that she gave them at POE. And that we will hear something within 30 days.

We applied at the SS office to change her last name and get the restrictions removed from her card, and her new card showed up about a week later. Lucky for Tina, Wisconsin has receprocity with Germany, so Driver's License was a breeze. Paid the fee, got her picture taken, and it showed up about a week later as well.

My wife got her SSC about a week after applying in person. We just got an NOA for the GC, saying that they have rec'd her info and we'll hear something within 30 days. She got here 4/30.

Have you received your Green Card or NOA? We've received our NOA, but no GC yet. It took 3 weeks to get the NOA. She has her SSC and DL, but we got those on our own. Just curious how its going for you.

Cheers!

Congrats!!! I know it's a little late, but with Tina back the last month, I haven't been online much. WELCOME HOME!!!!!

Thank you all so much!

Martina is back!! After a flight cancellation kept us apart an extra day. We are finally together again! Thank you to all of you who helped along the way! For those still waiting, stay strong, being back together is even better than I could have imagined (and I imagined it would be AMAZING). :dance:

Wifey is on her way!!!

Congrats to all the recent LIF's!!!

just got back from our trip to the dublin embassy......mixture of extremely friendly and some not so friendly staff......bottom line APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED!

turns out that it was alot easier than i had expected, 6 months of nerves and it took less than an hour to complete the process.

Congrats to you and all of the recent approvals!!!

I just got a call from Tina, she was APPROVED!!!! :dance:

AAAAAAAAAAAH. Freakin' fantastic news. Congratulations. So happy for you!

Thank you!! It's 4am here but I'm wide awake!!! We're hoping for her POE to be 4/29 or 4/30

Matt--Where's your wife from in Germany? Does she have to fly to Frankfurt for the interview?

I understand that German airspace is closed till 1800GMT.

No, she took the train, it took a little over 5 hours to get there.

BTW, She just called, CO said APPROVED!!!
