How was everyone's day? Mine was great, until I realized that I've misplaced/lost my passport!

Well, at least you figured it out now while you have time to get a new one... Imagine discovering THAT while packing for Suomi.

Mark :)

ha Mark! It took a pina colada tonight to help me find it!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

abbielovesjeremy our time is coming do not get discouraged :thumbs::dance:

i will try *sigh*

Yes, keep your hair in! Remember we all only applied just a month ago or less. It would be amazing if we got approved this fast, but that's not the norm. Give it another month before you even think about worrying! I just checked to see if I was "touched" today and I admit I gave a big sigh when I saw nothing, but I keep reminding myself that my NOA1 was only approved three weeks ago tomorrow. I'm not expecting anything until at least October, though of course I'd be thrilled to pieces to see something before! Too bad we all didn't live in the same area and could get together and fret in one group! Lucky we have this thread going...

Keep busy. That's what keeps me sane. We'll hear good news before we know it! :dance:

it will be fun fretting in one group. funny too lol

Me too Mark :blush: I just got my 2006 transcript in the mail today just waiting on 2007 & 2008 :thumbs: still have time though :blush:

about those transcripts, if my hubby has all his ITRs does he still need those transcripts? :blink:

and btw.... i got touched! (sept 8th) :dance: but i hope it's not to get an RFE ugh!

June seems a little slow but things started picking up in July! Yay August club! I have way too much nervous energy. I want to have all my docs (hubby's police certs, etc...) before my NOA2! I don't think I'll even have it all together for another month or so. His Ireland police cert. is taking forever (he had to send a passport photo to his dentist so the dentist could verify him per Ireland requirements for the cert, and now his parents are sending that back, then he sends it to Ireland with the application, blah blah blah).

I need to get to work and not think about all of this!!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!).

I think that covers it! My hubby has lived in three countries, hence the running around for the police certs. He also was in the military (as are all Finn men!) so he's waiting for that. Oh, and passport photos-but wait for those.

And those darn immunizations...the hubby may get some beforehand, but he's waiting to see if the military sends him some shot records. Otherwise he has to redo them all! Ouch.

I should have my tax transcripts next week though! I'll get the employment letter at the last minute.
