I have been using skyscanner for a long time, but I just found out that the studentuniverse has much better deals.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Student Universe

just uncheck all that dont apply one the left of search form.

Choose from remaining flights.

You dont have to be a student to use this site.

Save some serious cash here.

Thank you. Don't stress over it, look at how far along you are. This'll soon be over. I received a checklist too and my case was still completed in two months.

Thanks for the kind words. :). I just felt so terrible last night. This morning I went to the post office to find out why my package had not been delivered. The lady there called the post office in NH. The lady there said that they receive 3000 pieces of mail for the NVC per day. And HOPEFULLY my package will turn up today!!! OMG!!! I did get my money back at least but I'd rather have them have the package. Didn't care about the 20 bucks! I didn't even tell hubby the package is missing. Don't want him to worry anymore.

I saw your signature and noticed that you have got medicals scheduled for 4/30... did knightsbridge not have an earlier date? just curious.. and yes it is perfectly ok to be anxious about the documents make sure you get tracking and signature on arrival on the package.. :)

I'm sure they had earlier dates, but my parents were wanting to push the date out to the end of the month so that they can try and time the 6 month deadline properly from the time of the medical. They won' be moving until fall most likely as it needs to be cool enough for them to fly their cats :)

Hello to you neighbor, did not realize you were a fellow Marylander :)

Yea I had the envelope all address and ready to go for a week. I made a point to go buy a money order last night. I actually need to mail the payment in. No worries because the employment letter is not ready yet. As long as the AOS fee is showing paid, and my employment letter is ready by next Friday I am good. I will then overnight my AOS to the NVC!!

DS-261

You check yes only if you want someone else to handle it such as attorney.

You see from the shot that you are then able to enter address information.

I put the address we will live in the USA in this section.

Then it asks did anyone help you with this form.

I said yes and put my information and

address we will live in America.

Relationship to you at the bottom is Spouse..i.e....Husband in my case.

That is exactly what I did and our DS-261 was accepted. On another note, don't go to BKK just yet, we need you around here ...he he he...
