Congratulations! Hope you make it through POE soon! :thumbs:

09/21/10 - I-129F Sent!

09/23/10 - I-129F Received in Dallas, TX

09/28/10 - Text & E-mail NOA1 (It was at 12:44AM, weird) Notification that our case was transferred to VSC.

09/29/10 - Check cashed

09/30/10 - NOA-1 Hard Copy dated Sep. 27, 2010

10/03/10 - TOUCH!

After numerous calls to USCIS, my two Texas Senators and a Congressman, the latter got an "expedite" put through (if you can call a month and a week after ONPT an expedite). Just never let up! Even though mine took way too long, there were people who were a month before me and waited longer because they just sat back and watched. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

03/31/11 - NOA-2!

04/05/11 - Received NOA-2 hard copy.

04/07/11 - NVC Received

04/12/11 - Case left NVC via DHL

Congratulations! And thank your for the compliments in your review. I'm a she and American. I thought your were a she. LOL.

London really is easy, but you try to tell somebody not to stress or bring the K1 petition, 6 photo albums, 3 years of paychecks and they won't believe you. Oh well....we try to help.

Congratulations! Great review, made me feel a lot better (I'm waiting on my interview date!). Oh and totally agree, big credit to Nich-Nick for the K-1 guide. We have been following it to the letter. It's the best guide we have found and so easy to follow. Good work Nich-Nick :)
