Cheers Loto. And thanks for your support and advice. With the NVC it was quick and simple thanks to the specifics that you gave me.

Its surprising, the 'NVC' stage at the consulate lasted barely a few moments!

And so I see you're going to be a fellow Jersey boy soon! Good stuff. As you know I'll be in North jersey, so you're welcome to stop by anytime.

No appointment necessary lol

Glad to hear everything worked well for you, Richi :star:

You are in NJ too. Of course, we'll meet. Please give us some time to settle down there. We'll move there (near Edison area) by the end of this month.

Hi, Everybody, for the check list for

With IV packet (DS-230) you have to send the beneficiary's original birth certificate and petitioner and beneficiary's original marriage certificate, beneficiary's police certificate as well as copy of all civil documents. Just read what binny has sent with her IV packet. Good Luck.

Big thanks to everyone for your kind words!

@LOTO You did Loto, you did. You could leave IT and begin a job as a fortune teller, lol :P ! Thanks for the help and prediction! Felt so much better seeing SIF last night!

@Agynyame Thanks, the pair of you should go into business together! :P You are both :star:

@ Malvika, I danced and danced (in my head), almost felt like doing the funky chicken :dance: I was so excited! You are ace and have been a bit of a rock for me these past emotional weeks, I cant thank you enough!

I got a call from the wife last night at 3 AM. She went to the USEM in Dhaka and at 2:30 PM (local time in Bangladesh) and picked up her passport with the VISA and the sealed POE package and all the original documents we submitted to NVC as part of DS230 or IV package. Now she's on her way to her house. She should be there soon. Then I'm sure she'll want to rest so I can't still get all the details of the interview. I'll call her tonight and see if I can get the girl to talk.
