Congrats! That's the best news to wake up to!

And you're only five days ahead of me with your NOA1!!!!!!

He's like a ninja. But over the internet. :lol:

Well, since I am sulking, in addition to lurking, I would have to be a teenage ninja. But I am promise that I am neither mutant nor turtle... so I have that going for me :)

Someone had their coffee this morning...

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!

CONGRATS!!!! :dance: Enjoy the happiness before you get totally and completely frustrated again by the NVC.

I am in the NVC September 2009 edition thread. It has been very helpful to know what to look forward to as well as support for waiting for the NVC to get your case. I got my NOA2 on 9/11 and the NVC still has no record of my case! :ranting::crying::angry: So be patient and read up. There is great information in there!
