How do you check on NVC to see when your petition gets there. It gets a new number right? From what I've been seeing it only takes a few days to a couple weeks to get there? How long is it at NVC and what do they do with it?

The phone number for NVC is 603-334-0700. Best time to call is early morning or late at night. Give your case at least a week before you call. I gave it exactly a week and got lucky. They'll ask for your case number, just give them your USCIS receipt number and they'll let you know if it's there or not. If they do have it, make sure you get the NVC case number. More info at http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3177.html .

Mox, are you going there for the interview? Things are really happening fast for you now. I just noticed recently you are approved and April interview, that would be awesome! Are you all ready?

It's amazing how fast the approvals seem to be coming now. I hope that doesn't clog up the embassies for interview. That would be just my luck lol.

I'm not going to Moscow for the interview. I'd love to go, but Moscow is a really expensive city and we decided it's money better spent if I stay here. Am I all ready? Hell NO! LOL! I feel like I'm at the top of the first hill on a roller coaster, staring down at the rest of the track. Reality is starting to really hit, and I know once I have the interview date in hand I'm going to be under more stress than waiting for NOA2 ever caused. But it's also a great feeling to finally be out of the quagmire that is CSC, and really starting to move.

That's a good way of describing it. We felt like this exactly. And now we're only 3 weeks away from her returning to Virginia and I have sooo much to do in preparation. I dont know where to start. I have a couple days off from work over the weekend, so I'll use this time to begin.

I'm officially legitimate to join this thread finally. Got approved last night and I'm still in shock. It's sinking in and it's just an incredible feeling after all this time and the worry is over (for the most party anyway). I have lots of other stuff going on too (moving, kids graduating, my clinic merged with a big conglomerate and we're busy busy busy) so I want and need to join in here for your help if you guys don't mind. I have so many questions about the next steps and my first one is this...

[a-jeanne 2]

Good Luck Mox! So glad to hear all of the exciting news lately! Now that CBR is through - it's smooth sailing from here on out

I was making this scrapbook before the interview. Luckily enough I managed to finish it. It was 5kg heavy (10 pounds). I left the other document printing for the last 3 days before the interview. 3 days before the interview my printer stopped communicating with my computer and I spent whole night trying to fix it. It was just awesome. The other documents were another 5kg (another 10 pounds).

At the interview they only wanted to see the few papers they asked for in Packet 3, nothing else.

Noone ever wanted to see my scrapbook

Noone ever wanted to see my scrapbook

LOL!!!

no one wanted to see the masses of photos, emails and conversations I took either. Just the forms and my bank statement for self sponsoring. It was the biggest anti-climax after all the months of stress!

[starlarose 1]

Awww, we are delayed so can't join yet but I am watchin for when we can. We would like a silver bean bag please

We are being held up due to the UK police certificate. There was a bit of a misunderstanding on our part so we delayed our Statement of Reddiness for 3 weeks. But we are moving along now. Hopefully the cert will be in 2 weeks. Interview in a month. Then YAY back together again! I am going nutz without the lad with me. But we can see that light now at the end of the tunnel and have become absolutely giddy. Teehee

By the way, just wanted to let everyone know that Kevin (KGSodie), Natasha, and Vika were approved on Feb 26 for their K-1 visa. (his post in the RU forum here.) A very, very warm congratulations to them all! If memory serves, they're coming back to the states on the 5th. In the meantime I hope they're having a wonderful time seeing the sites in Moscow!

Yay!! Gratzies to Kevin!!! Ok guys - we need a mission of spreadsheet updates so if you have taken the big step and are now in the US of A please please please pm me with updates about your wedding date/AOS stuff - if you want to know what dates to send just check the spreadsheet in my siggie

Just found out our case found its way to NVC today!

Yay!!

I had a wee suprise today. Although I don't actually finish work until Tuesday one of the big clients of the law firm I work for found out I was leaving and sent me a huge bunch of flowers today. When I say huge, I mean huge, these things were like 2ft across. It's all red, white and blue flowers with a big scottish thistle in the middle and the card said "hope your move goes well and you enjoy your new life in America, just never forget your roots and the people here that care about you!" How nice was that? I was in tears when they came in and that started the other receptionist off too! I'm going to be terrible on tuesday when I finish up.

Wow - I would have blubbed like a baby!!

Omg yeah - now that the wedding is done I have nothing to worry about other than the visa and the move and my tummy lurches everytime!! And with debz' impending move I feel even more ansy about it because I keep thinking "OMG - debz is moving in like 11 days!!!"

I have less than 2 weeks to go. 11 days in Scotland left!!! Am I excited? Of course I am, I'm doing cartwheels almost. Am I nervous? very!!!

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]
