HI Vjers!

Our 5 month old and I are going to see my husband. This will be his first time that he will meet our son! So we are excited! Does anyone have any suggestions on what to bring visa papers-wise? We are waiting for our NOA2. Maybe a complete copy of our petition? I just thought that while we were visiting we could bring any papers needed after the NOA2 is approved.

Thanks!!!! Can't wait to see him... It's been 273 days since we've seen each other!
