I'm already getting the stuff ready for the consulate....anybody else?

Yeah, I had Andreas start gathering all the paperwork on his end (birth cert., military records, etc) so all he'll have left is to receive some stuff from me/my folks and his medical. I have to start gathering the doc's for the sponsor/co-sponsor stuff still. Not much I can get ahead on with it, since they want pretty current documents for that.

I am awaiting our NOA2 also, but embarrasssingly dont know what documents to get ready for the next step. I was all sorted and knew what I needed, but I think my brain has gone to mush coz I cant locate where I put it. Can you please outline what is needed? I am having such a hard time being away from my man (as everyone must be, being away from the most important person in their life) sorting this may help.

Thanks

Each consulate has different requirements. Check out the Embassy reviews section at the top and find your country's embassy link. Often they list what documents you'll need before your interview on their individual website (and you can find the link there along with other helpful info). I hope that helps!

Thanks ever so much for your speedy reply, guess I am not the only one that keeps looking on here in an attempt to feel that I can do something more, or learn something anything that can make time go faster :D

Thanks again

No problem. I certainly try to be informed to avoid any delays. I will do just about anything to get him back here asap. I think I check VJ so much because it feels really strange now since he was here for 3 months. I forgot how to entertain myself for such long periods of time. I never liked it anyways. VJ helps fill the void when I don't have deadlines to keep me occupied. Then the deadlines get done, like yesterday (I finished designing my first magazine cover to cover), and I feel the void worse than ever because there's nobody celebrating with me. I couldn't exactly justify calling Andy when it was the middle of the night in Germany. :P

Don't hesitate to post questions. I'm sure someone can find the resources. I've asked some odd ones on VJ already myself, and somehow there's always help -- sometimes it just takes bumping the topic a few times or PMing to get the right person's attention. ;)

Speaking of questions...

Anyone know if having the I-134 (affidavit of support for interview) and I-864 (affidavit of support of AOS) paperwork & accompanying documents can be signed/gotten at the same time? Or will it be considered too out of date when AOS comes? I hate to have my folks/co-sponsors get paystubs and sign/mail me forms twice if I can avoid it.

One of the people who applied to the CSC in June got accepted! There is hope that ours will come sooner than we thought.

That is if the trend keeps up.

There is definitely more than one. I see at least three. But they all appplied in the beginning of June, so everything is going as expected. No pleasant surprises so far. Let's hope than not too many people filed in June, so CSC can quickly switch to July.
