Finally the job is done! Very happy for you mate, hope you can get out there with your wife as soon as you can!

I'm still waiting to hear back from NVC about our expedite, the embassy has been open for 5 working days now so hopefully we'll hear something by the end of this week. :)

Probably the weekend I think. Going to let them get rid of the snow in jersey before I land and have to start shovelling the stuff!

Have you tried the NVC in Washington, mate? Might be worth giving them a bell. I know they were a help to us, and its their hq too. I cant for the life of me find the number for them yet. I know Loto gave it to me.

In all honesty, I haven't really chased it up with NVC in new hampshire either. Figured I'd give them a week before I start getting onto them. I'll look into getting the number for washington too though. If I havn't heard anything by the end of tomorrow, I'll give them a call, I probably should call them this evening I guess..

Anyways, big congrats for you mate!!

Cheers mate. Yes, Id definitely give them a shout - before they get chance to start processing the AOS/IV package there. No harm in emailing them too.. Then once you know the status, you can start to email the consulate.

Thank you- I hope so too, but I believe some of the tri-state area's going to get slammed with it, again. I had enough of the stuff when it was there 12 months ago! Oh well.

We've had it in England too, so I should be used to it!

Good luck to you guys with your process and I hope it goes quickly for you.

Thanks again Loto!

Its an important day for me loto - it means I get to mess about with my signature again. thats kept me sane during this process!! lol.

Most likely will be this weekend. Ive been told Jersey is in for a pounding with snow. I was told I have a snow shovel wrapped up in christmas paper ready for me to open.....but hopefully the family will have shovelled it all by the time I return lol!

Its highly likely to be this weekend when I fly into newark. Still have to book my flight, and yet so much to do. I've got a couple of leaving get-togethers with friends in the local pubs. Ive already had two of them - and awoken with a hangover!

We don't have Pubs here.. but local Joe's we got. Have one on me ! (F)

Congratulations Richie!!!!

I sent my I 601 waiver to montreal on dec 20 and they received on 21. i m in canada from last 10 months. i can understand ur feelings. i hope my waiver will get approve soon too.

Thanks Rosey. I hope its quicker than London in the norm - as without an expedite, London is not renowned for being very quick. I hope Montreal is quicker for you, good luck.
