Yes! I got our NOA2 on the 8th, NVC received it the 18th. it shipped out to Dublin on the 22nd. A side note: I called NVC about a week after I got the NOA2, and they didn't have it. I wasn't going to call on the 21st, but couldn't help it. lol I had intended to wait a full 14 days, but caved.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it till even Friday. I feel silly being so impatient, but that's love right? Thanks for sharing your process. It gives me hope!!! Maybe it won't take three months like some people have told me it will!

Since I'm still in graduate school part-time, I don't make too much (or at least not enough that all these fees don't matter). I think the trickiest part for us is going to be the police certificates, hands down. And deciding whether or not I will attend the interview with him. I REALLY want to be there, it's just a lot of money. Our dream would be to fly back together after the interview, but I know it can take quite a while to actually get the visa, so I don't think that's possible given work and other commitments and such.

Thanks so much for sharing your stories!!! And for your support. Don't know what we'd do without our VJ community!!!
