2010 United Kingdom AOS Thread

[Justine+David 218]

Sent off the package !! very excited

No pictures tonight...at work again and went straight to sleep after staples + post office

Honeymoon is already booked and the real reason to not change is because of my work. It's hard to get a lot of vacation time off and I put in for this vacation back in January and at first didn't get it all, but in May, got the rest of it off that I requested. Hawaii will still be there if we leave

Eclipse--okay. 2 things.

Edward would never EVER let Bella on a motorcycle with Jake in the beginning. In the book it was with Alice and Bella only got away with it because it was a surprise thing and they were in the school parking lot.

Bella was all about how she's doing the whole changing to a vampire not just because of Edward but because she wants to be part of that world. NOT true she's ALL about Edward.

Do you notice how in the books she doesn't really talk about giving up human stuff like eating, sleeping, etc? I would miss that.

I added you and the others here to this UK AOS timeline that we started last year. If anybody wants to keep it going and will help with editing it, PM me. You can look at all of 2009 and 2010 so far to get an idea of how long the steps have taken various people. The years are on tabs at the bottom. It's interesting how many were transfered to CSC last year. And it seems like those filing in the summer months got through much quicker. Maybe this is a great time for you guys to file .

Rachel, you're wedding looks lovely.

Okay, here are a couple of photos of the civil wedding

We found some make-shift wands to duel for those who do not know, we met randomly in Toronto at a Harry Potter conference and we are HUGE nerds. We are going to Florida next week for another HP conference which will also include going to the new HP theme park!

...and apparently our package in Chicago and they have "attempted" to deliver it but were not able to... it's a PO BOX! Just stick it in! I specifically said no delivery signature...

Hi everyone! Congrats to Beatlesrebel for sending off your AOS package! Yay!

Well, the wedding was two weeks ago this sunday so I have been a little (ahem... that's the understatement of the century) pre-occupied for the last few weeks but I have a couple of pics I thought I'd share with you all! It was a wonderful day and I'm so happy that finally at last we're husband and wife! Ahhh now to sort out our own AOS package!

Check out the english afternoon tea!

Stunning! You guys look so happy together! Im sooo happy for you and everyone else on here who has made it this far. I feel like I should post our wedding pics now!

Yay on sending the package!! Good point about vacation times, didn't think about that. Here's hoping all will go well! I confess, I've not read the books. My mom (who got me hooked on the movies) has and she agreed with you on both of your points! lol Yeah, I would miss those things too!

Awwww! Justine, you guys look great and make a cute couple!!

We found some make-shift wands to duel for those who do not know, we met randomly in Toronto at a Harry Potter conference and we are HUGE nerds. We are going to Florida next week for another HP conference which will also include going to the new HP theme park!

LOL! Love it!! Phill and I did something similar in our pictures. We recreated the album cover of The Beatles Abbey Road album. Couldn't get that pic to upload. Oooh I'm so jealous! Let us know how the HP park is! I wanna go soooo bad!

...and apparently our package in Chicago and they have "attempted" to deliver it but were not able to... it's a PO BOX! Just stick it in! I specifically said no delivery signature...

WHA?!?! So...are they sending it back to you or something?

Stunning! You guys look so happy together! Im sooo happy for you and everyone else on here who has made it this far. I feel like I should post our wedding pics now!

Please share!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I'm proud to report that we received the emails/text message notifications today! Omg Rachel you look beautiful! You both look great! Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing!! I never thought about sharing our pics, I'll attach one of them. Just our legal ceremony--our big wedding is in November.

Yayy someone else doing the small legal ceremony and then the big wedding. Phew! We are looking to do a big ceremony in 2015 in Ireland with my family. We know weddings cost a lot so we have already started to save... And were also perfectionists and we want to make it amazing and perfect.

Sounds awesome!! We figured it was MUCH easier to do it this way! Once we're able to go back to the UK, we'll have some kind of reception or the like for his friends and family to attend!

We can help edit the timeline.. I tried to add my wife to it (yorkshirerose22), she is from England... but I guess you have to authorize us as editors.

Anyway, you can add us also.. we sent in ours on July 6, 2010

What the heck? We got Phill's NOA letters in the mail on July 10th with the receipt numbers for his AOS. I've gone out to the USCIS website to put the receipt #'s in to track his case and it just keeps saying the number is invalid.

We got our AOS interview date today! It's on August 16. According to our notice, they received our application on June 1 (we mailed it on May 26). Looks like things are picking up - godspeed other May/June appliers!

[brit_la 1]

Haha, I just made a new friend out here, who is more Harry Potter obsessed than I am. She told me about this place down in LA, a Harry Potter superstore, that is set out like the wizarding world and Diagon Alley, with loads of stores, cant wait to check it out!
