Ok so here it goes.....

My AOS packet is complete just waiting on my transcripts to seal the envelope.

Packet 3 is just waiting on the documents Hubby sent to complete it.

Can I put both in same envelope and express mail them?

Should I put AOS in 1 envelope and packet 3 in another and then possible to put both inside same express?

OK so what is next?

Is there anything I should be doing in the mean time?

You can put each in a separate envelope and then both into one USPS Express Envelope and mail it together. Start calling NVC after 5 days of the packets received at NVC to find out the status. After one of the packets is first reveiwed, you will get what is called a false RFE for the other, even though it is also sent in the same cover - so don't worry and inquire the status of the second packet with NVC till your case is completed.

Thank you very much for the reply. Also, the comment about the false RFE was very helpful. I had read many posts about others getting them at this time in their process but none knew the reason. Thanks to your comment, I will not freak out when I recieve mine! :)
