Yay, grats! kicking.gif

And wow, almost a month away! Is it because you have loose ends to tie up?

nope. it was the cheapest flight :P

For some reason now until august 23rd was 424 pounds a single, but on the 24th it was only 310 pounds a single lol. So I opted to save the cash and just wait a bit longer :P Whats an extra 20 something days lol, as much as id love to fly this week, it wont kill me to wait a bit haha

I am happy to get in some last minute family time though :)

Total time from posting I-130 to VISA in hand 7 months 21 days :D

Oh wow, I would not have been able to put everything I had into 2 suitcases. Thankfully I lived in Canada and it was simple to rent a car and move all my boxes to the US.

And that is mighty expensive for a third suitcase blink.gif

Did you try STA Travel? I was going nuts trying to pull together almost 1300 USD for Anna's flight one way to the US. Cheapest I found was 1200, until I found STA. 600 USD for a one way ticket. Saved us a fortune. I was concerned it was a gimmick at first, but we got the tickets already and confirmed them.

Ah, if most of your stuff is there already, then just 2 suitcases is understandable. I had nothing in the US, so I had to bring all of it with me!

You can actually see a picture of all the stuff I was moving on one of my posts on my blog, here: http://journeythroug.../05/moving.html It just barely all fit into my dad's car and then later into my rental car. Phew!

Hi Everybody

Yesterday we called the NVC and they informed us that our case is complete and that they already sent it to the embassy, however we havent got any email (SF and CC) is this normal?? Also they told my husband that they havent schedule the interview and that for July there is no availability.

I am kind of nervous about i, because we havent got any email from NVC and I would like to know if this is normal?

Thanks for your response :)
