Do we have everything?

Hey you guys,

That looks great! I went through our cover letters and compared them with yours and ours almost match except for the H2B visa information

Good luck!!

Thank you!

We used a bunch of examples from VJ. I think we used yours too to help us see if we had everything (hope that's ok ) - it was a huge help

Oh yeah of course it's ok! Glad to help =) And yeah VJ has been such a HUGE help to us too!

I keep checking our packages and looking at lists online to see if we have everything... I hope so!

Our checks are $355 for the I-130 and $1010 for the I-485... The I-131 and I-765 don't need checks as they're part of the I-485 package... hope I got this right...

Thanks again!

Yep that is all good.

Get ready to join the waiting club. Definitely join the thread for the month you file. The community here is a fantastic support.

GOOD LUCK!

[marie09 5]

Yep we're in for a long wait

But at least we're not alone - it's great there's a discussion board on here...

I think we may be one of the first November filers... We're shooting for tomorrow...

Thanks you guys for the good luck wishes

Woohoo Marie, just wait until you leave the post office (or Fed Ex, whichever you choose)!! You will feel a huge relief that it is now out of your hands!
