Thanks for the heads up on ordering birth certificates photomile! I found that link you were talking about! Also, I'm glad you mentioned the paystubs for my mom. When I went to find the link for the birth certs. I noticed someone else posted something about financial info and Nich Nick said something about tax returns showing joint filings. My parents file jointly, so I will see if she will let me send him a copy of her W2s so that it will show HER portion. I don't want him to get turned away because the tax returns show my parents' combined income! ;)

I think there is another January filer as well who came to this thread recently that was still waiting. Not sure if that is still the case. Can't remember the name, but starts with a K.

I feel real bad for Texas22. I was glad she was able to come to Texas, but someone's not doing their job at USCIS. She responded to the RFE, they could process her file now for goodness sake. :protest:

Thanks! All they could offer him was today at 9 PM so he had to take it. It's a shame it had to be after mailing hours though.

Oh, 9PM!? Wow,! Don't worry, takes three days for the bloods to be done anyway so no issue with mailing. I think they do the bloods in house!

Yep, 9 PM. Apparently it's a 24 hour clinic! I'm hoping we can get it mailed tomorrow. I'm kind of glad that they do the blood in house, as there's less chance of things getting lost. Train tickets to and from London add up.
