What else?

Ok, I'm going to seriously establish my stupidity here. We submitted our I-129F on Jan. 20, the check cleared on 2-12, and of course we still have not recieved our NOA-1. After a few days rest, I am back to working on the packet for the embassy in Juarez. I have filled out the DS156, and the DS156K, and just for shits and giggles the 134 & 184 financials, just to be sure that I have all my self employment paperwork in perfect shape.

We have many pictures going back to my first visit, I'm going back at least 2 more times to take more photos and to get letters from her parents that say that I have asked for her hand. Also on one of these trips I will bring her an engagement ring down, along w/the recipt for it.

I have saved boarding passes, I have hundreds of pages of skype conversations, Yahoo IM's etc. I have all my cell phone bills showing all the calls to Mexico, at least one pretty much everyday, sometimes 2-3 times.

The only thing that makes me nervous is my self employment status, and the time that Maria spent here illegally (18mos) from summer 1989 to early 1991.

My question to this list is...........can anyone think of anything else that I can do to make this happen the first time? It is expensive and nerve wracking, to say least. I'm hoping I do not have to fill out a wavier on her stay, or the fact that she worked while she was here. I can't think of anything else. Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan & Maria
