I think your right Dani and once I get to the US and we file it will not only be less stress but hopefully much easier then this time around. Part of me looks back at what has happened to us in this process already and thinks I should have realised it was going to end poorly (we never even had a case number till a month ago and it doesnt even show on the system).

Mia thanks for keeping me in your prayers I hope to be able to tell everyone about my NOA2 in the coming months, I can tell you know that post on these forums will be one of the happiest days....

Mara can I keep you company as you go through this journey?

I'll try to hang in there, it's incredibly hard knowing that we are so close and all we need a pink paper for all of us to be reunited. But I make the best out of it, with this delay I can

- Save more money

- Plan for next trip in July (If no VISA by then)

Worst come to worst I will move back, marry her there..........:) it's not the end of the world.

PM me for any AP or AR relating to the NBI

Hi Chris and Mara, so sorry to hear that they lost your case. Just to let you know that I'm still here waiting for my NOA2, one of the last August filers, although I was actually the first because we got our NOA1 on August first. Have no idea why it's taking so long, can't seem to get any info and our lawyer isn't any help. Since you've had to re-file does that you mean you have to pay the processing fees all over again?

Well, got the last bit of paperwork I needed to file AOS for my wife, we applied for a state ID again and this time it wasn't a problem (just had to have a better 'proof of residence' mailing with her name and address on it) but they don't print off a card and give it to her right there, instead we get a receipt, I don't know if that's due to the name change (from a recent marriage), the fact it's a first time ID, or if it's because she's from another country... it kind of seems like maybe my first ID was like that too but I really don't remember, it was quite a while ago.

Anyway, in addition to all that fun, our wedding rings are finally sized and should be able to pick them up tonight, which is something to look forward to, we haven't gotten nearly enough wear out of them yet.

Caroline, try to contact your congressman, senator, ombudsman, they will help you, or at least i hope so, our congressman contacted us after our case was transferred to nvc to make sure we got the letter for the noa2, she was an amazing woman and found our case, good luck:)
