*SIGH* I checked and my money order still has not been cashed. I really hope NOA1 comes for me this week or I'm going to start wondering......

OK at least have confirmation from our attorney that the package was received at VSC on 1/24, so at least I know it got there. Now it is just a matter of ensuring it doesn't get lost in the flurry of activity at the service center. I have a sneaking suspicion it likely did not go out on 1/18 like they originally told me....6 days to get from FL to VT? I can get letters to Ireland in that time.

Anyways, for various personal reasons I did hire an attorney to fill out the paperwork. We wanted to get things filed immediately and I did not have time to read through the guides here, since I have been bogged down with my job working crazy hours (as a tax accountant). If anything, at least I had piece of mind getting another set of eyes to look at my paperwork. Going forward I am confident I will have the time and the knowledge to do the AOS paperwork on my own.

You are not alone .. been checking and rechecking usps.com for any update on our shipment. Who wouldn't be OC, our future happiness is contained on those papers: the I-129F file, NOA1, NOA2,etc.

good luck to us... God be with us all.

i just got the NOA1 I believe and it says recieved date 23 and notice date the 24th so even thoguh my check was cashed on the 29th my real date is the 24th right? i think im asking a stupid question but I wanna make sure

Susie - I think the date on the notice is what you use (at least that is what I would use). Now for good news...I called the 1800 to check the status of my money order this morning...

"Money order Rxxxxx was presented for payment on January 30, 2008." YAY! Come on NOA1...get here already!

Great to hear the good news, Smashrox and Susie!

Susie - I'd use the date on the notice, too.

So guys...last day of January today, so our group's complete. Now let the competition to the first NOA2 begin!

Good luck to all! My SO and I are not extremely optimistic about getting our NOA2 quickly. We realized we made a mistake on the application and left some areas blank where they should have been "none". If we get an RFE, we'll update. What kind of evidence did you guys include?

We had passport stamps, itinerary for both of us. An I-94 card for him (he was here while we filed the app), some boarding passes (but those don't show the year, although the dates coincide with the passport stamps, and 4 or 5 photos...

These things are so nerve-wracking! Good luck!

I took a quick tally of our thread and it looks like there are about 20 of us January filers. Good luck again!

I guess we're the last one to jump in for January... there's not even update on usps online tracking so, I would assume our application has not reach VSC yet:(... but I'm letting God take full control of everything.

As for evidence... ours was a bit overkill : passport stamps, boarding passes, airline tickets, hotel receipts, 30+ photos, couple of emails, chat logs, pages of our wedding website, pages of our photosharing site, receipt, delivery notification and photo of our personalized guest signature platter, my authenticated birth certificate, birth certificate of my kids, certificate of no marriage from our national statistics office, his divorce decrees, his birth certificate, and truck loads of prayers.

Some of it are not really required but we just put it in.
