So we finally recieved NOA1! (I'll update my timeline in a minute). Huzzah! :dance:

The only problem is they sent it to my mom's house in Minneapolis that I had listed as an alternative address, when I actually am living in Canada at the moment. Not a huge problem, but a little dissapointing. Someone mentioned before that they would only send correspondence to a US address, but no one would verify it for me. I guess its true! So what happens to people who don't have a US address at the moment? I'm curious.

Anyway, I have a question.

Will I actually need the hard copies of the NOA1, the NOA2 or any RFEs (that I hope never come!) at any point? Or is it enough to know of them and understand the instructions? In other words, should my mom be fowarding this stuff to me, or can they stay in Minneapolis?

Noa1 - No

NOA2 - Yes but later after you are married

RFE - No

So I will only need the NOA2 after we move back get married and apply for his residencey? That should be no problem at all then :). So, I won't need it at the interview or POE or anything? Can't imagine why, just making sure.

Anyway, YAY! We're on our way!

Congrats, and you will need the NOA2 for AOS only. If I were you, I'd want my stuff forwarded to me anyway, but I'm a control freak. ;)

I wouldn't hesitate to have everything fowarded to me, except that I know they will be in better hands with my mom than with the Canadian postal system :wacko: Hehe, thanks for all the warm wishes everyone!

PS. I know that spoon and cherry ;)
