Yes I double checked, then tripple checked, then again, then again, said a prayer at the post office before I sealed the USPS one day mail, and sent it off. Now the waiting starts.

I am thankful that this board exists as it provides a great service and help.

I am getting ready to call my Colombian fiancee this evening and tell her that the package has been sent and let the waiting begin! Like many of you, after spending a month together in my fiancee beautiful country of Colombia, we have been apart for 4 days (I returned to Southern Cal on Wednesday) and we miss each other so much.

Have a blessed evening all!

Don and Nathalia.

If you pay with a check you can see it with your online banking, e.g. see the back of your check with all sorts of things written down by people from USCIS: look for a 13 character code starting with EAC (or WAC, LIN,SRC). That will be your case number. You may then check on the USCIS Website -> Check my Case Status -> Type in your Code. Off you go!
