Thanks. I thought so! The whole idea of having to put in a "service request" is absurd, anyway. I "requested" your services when I filed the damn application. And you agreed to provide that service w

The NOA1 comes quick. After that it's a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG pause. I can't believe it's not even been a month yet that I have been waiting. It's going to be a while. I'm just trying to focus on the forms/documents that I need to put together when the NOA2 comes. I'm also working on getting her transcripts in to a national evaluation center so we can know what her education will match up to in US standards.

So you are turing it into a National evaluation center in the US? Maybe I should do that with my papers to. Where do you find information about that? I should just google, but if you have any suggestion I would be happy to hear!

Yes Afoyoswa,we were advised to start over,this time all bases are covered and pretty sure things will go well.Although we had a formal engagement in Uganda I don't really have a big family in Uganda,Its pointless for us to get married in Uganda with only my sister to attend yet we can get married in the states where his family and friends can attend
