Yippeeee!! I know it's just one of the very first steps, but I'm so glad to finally have a receipt number! Now I can finally obsess about touches with the rest of you! And believe me...I will obsess! :D

Not too bad, though, really. People told me to expect to wait up to a month to receive my NOA1. From the petition going in the mail to the notice arriving today, it was only two weeks. Hopefully that's an encouraging sign...I won't hold my breath, though. Don't worry. :)

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.

Thanks, all of you! It feels a little silly, in a way, getting so excited about the NOA1. But it seems like you all understand. At least now I know someone WILL be looking at it eventually, right? I had to laugh and nod at William33's comment:

Well that makes you the next contestant in the "Waiting Game".

So true, so true...But I'm IN the game finally, and that feels like it makes all the difference today. I'll get more jaded tomorrow. At the moment I can't stop grinnin'... :D:D:D

Completely understandable, Sleepless! Clearly you deserve to get your approval before me, and when you do, I'll be whooping it up for you. Thanks for the good wishes. You have mine, too, as you know.
