4-5 months max I can take, 3 months for me is ok, 2 is awesome, but I'm very afraid will be much more............ having in consideration the statistics. Was the same when you got approved? I'm curious.

the USCIS website was putting out 5 month averages for processing when i applied in december. i got my NOA2 in february. so it took a lot less time than the website said it would!

now i am not sure how quickly they are moving along...

Yea it's really hot this summer, I don't enjoy the heat much even though I'm stuck working in it. My garden seems to be doing well though I started it a little late, but hopefully in a month I'll see some veggies growing, some of my pepper's are almost ready to be picked. =)

I'd love to be able to spend a day at the beach this summer maybe I might try to. Whats everyone else up to besides "immigration paperwork"

Hi there!

I am leaving for Chile next Thursday (a week from today) really missing my husband, so happy I'm going to spend 10 glorious days with him. Last time I saw him was in February of this year.

So to be productive I'm going to fill out forms DS 230 and choice of agent and have him sign them just to be ahead of the game. I will print about three of each just in case. I wont date until it's time. I will get and bring back all documentation I will need for NVC stage. I'm also going to bring him copies of everything I have sent out.

Am I missing anything? Let me know if I am..

Thanks,

Emily(F)

Hey Mamamimi! I'm also going to visit my husband at the end of the month for a few months. I'm also getting the NVC paperworked preapred so he can have copies, and sign them too. Don't forget to leave the choice of agent with him because I think he'll have to send it in at that stage.......i think......but check it out. I'm making 3 copies of everything lol

thanks!!! it's been awhile but we are almost there!

The weather must slow them down!! The summer heat is killin' everyone...

they probably have to save money and don't turn on the AC so the staff is too hot to work.

but december was bad because they all go on holiday for christmas and new years!! i guess they all go on vacation in the summer!!!

DOH!

To mamamimi & Minted7:

We sent to USCIS all the forms filled in on the computer, including the dates!! How about you??

DS 230 & Choice of agent you print out & fill by hand? How is the correct way to do also where can I get those forms... Ds 230 part 1 I found, but other too not yet. If you have a link can you post it, pls. Thank you!

FOUND ALL THE DOCS, BUT STILL PUZZLED A LITTLE BIT. THIS DOCUMENTS DONT HAVE THE CALENDAR LIKE THE OTHER DOCUMENTS... SO IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILL THEM BY HAND OR NOT?

General NVC stuff - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1335.html

As a general rule-o-thumb, start getting the foreign spouse's civil documents when USC spouse has the NOA-2 in hand.

you can do it by hand or computer either is okay!

you can even mix it up. if it doesn't fit with the computer you can fill that part in by hand. anything is okay really.

I did some docs by hand some by computer.

computer is probably better in case you want to make changes. be sure to print extras.
