A big thanks to the VJ site

[RoseAndDaniel 0]

I would like to thank all of the people who run and contribute to this site. I hired a "service" to process my K-1 Visa petition before I was informed about your site. As a matter of fact, my fiancee was the one who located your site and passed the link to me. I have become an avid reader and find the timelines, flowcharts, and FAQs especially helpful.

Interestingly enough, when filling out the I-129f petition, I asked the "service" about putting a PO Box for my mailing address since my physical address has no mailbox and I have to go into town to the Post Office to receive my mail. The "service" told me to use the physical address because the USCIS "very rarely" will ever mail anything to you. I managed to fit my physical and PO Box into the square available for address and included an explanation in my cover letter. After reading about being mailed the NOA1, NOA2, and possibly any RFEs, I find it difficult to believe the "service" would have told me that.

My application was received at the VSC on 02/08/10 and I immediately registered online to receive email and text updates after getting the cancelled check back with the receipt number. It was amazingly exciting to see the case pop up in my portfolio and know that something is finally happening after all of the preparation.

On top of my address "issue", my work schedule keeps me away from home for about 30 days at a time and when I throw a trip in the mix to visit my fiancee in her country, I find myself not being able to check my mail for up to 70-90 days. The upside is that time seems to go by very quickly for me with my work schedule. I certainly can't check the mail everyday waiting to hear something.

I guess if there is any question in this posting, it would be about missing any timelines due to not being able to check my mail regularly. I'm hoping this won't be an issue.

Thanks.
