I am surprised at how fast things are going. We are not moving forward at the breakneck pace we were at earlier in the process. Aidan does not have his immunization records for the medical so we are waiting on that before we schedule that part. Not to mention I still need to gather all the financial info to send to him....

Happy Easter everyone. Hopefully this time next year we will be with our SOs for good!

That is my hope as well!!!

Hey Dawn,

Aidan and I have packet 3 and are gathering the info. Since I can't see what is in the packet Aidan received we are unsure if the DS-230 goes back to the embassy by itself or if we send in the police certificate with it (or bring it to the interview). Do you know if we are just supposed to return the form now and bring everything else to the interview?

We just sent the forms back...I think you're supposed to take the police certificate to the interview with you...that's the way it is in London...not sure about Dublin though...we only had to send the checklist, DS-230, 156, 156K, and 157...everything else goes to the interview...

At least that's my take on it...we haven't gotten packet 4, so who knows if we were right?

Oh geez..I better get in touch with Aidan. He only mentioned the DS-230 and the checklist. He's not the most organized person in the world so I fear him not having me there to review things before they are sent off might result in a mistake. Maybe I'll just fill the forms in for him and send them over for him to sign.

Did you answer the question on the DS-230 re: did anyone assist you with preparation of this form? Curious if I do the forms for him and answer this question "yes" if that will cause any red flags. Can you see my obsessive nature coming out? Ha ha.

I haven't even begun to think about what will come after the NoA2 yet! Well, that's not quite right - I have, but I keep putting it off :P

Still, by the end of this month I'd like to have made an appointment with the doctor to discuss immunisation, cancelled my mobile phone contract (I'll switch to pay as you go) and cancelled my gym membership (I just need the money more :( )

One week at a time...

Also; morning all! Hope you all had a great Easter weekend. :)
