Aww, don't say that - there are almost 3 weeks left in September and I can almost guarantee that you will be approved by the end of the month, most likely sooner. It's very kind of you to create the spreadsheet. Please try to stay positive, you will be approved any day now!!!

First of all, Thank God I found this forum... The application process has been extremely overwhelming for me. My I130 petition reached the CSC on June 11th and my I129F on 11th Aug. My case was approved Sept 3 and I received both NOA 2 hardcopies via mail yesterday!!! However, I am very confused about the procedure henceforth. Could anyone please give a general overview of what I should expect or point me in the right direction, maybe provide a forum link. I did read the general documentation for the application process, but I am still confused if I would receive forms here in US or would my fiance receive forms that are requried to be filled. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I just found the following link that makes the process much more easier to follow http://www.visajourney.com/examples/NVC_Pr...wchart_v1-2.pdf

The document was updated in 2005. Has the procedure changed since then?

Also I beleive the Abu Dabhi consulate does not accept a I 864 they accept I 134's instead... Not sure about this, need to verify.

now all we need is for NVC to start popping out those IINs

we were approved sept 5th. however my other half moved and forgot to change his address. we are hoping that a friend of ours will be able to pick up the post for us, and forward it on, otherwise its another month to two month wait for the NOA2 to arrive. still its closer now than it was and i understand that from here on it gets really whizzy fast, could have my visa in no time. can someone elucidate on the fees that we have to pay for the different forms we have to file. I understand that its about £200 at the london embassy. Are there any more fees that we should be aware of???

thanks

so glad that i can finally say we are approvedxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
