Any February 2012 filers?

And one more week ends with no NOA2 in sight. I called USCIS today and they told me I had to wait 60 days from the point in which they received my RFE to file a service request. That seems totally absurd to me. That would make it 9 months with no approval? I'm starting to think we should have just gotten married and filed the other thing. It probably would have been faster at this point.

Ugh, that sucks. I'm sorry. Was it a complicated RFE?

Ha, sold my UK Xbox 360, I will be ordering a US one nearer the flight time

My fiancee also sold her stuff such as tv, bed etc. She can feel the excitement of coming soon to me

Not really. I just needed to add more proof we had met in person in the last two years. The thing is... it's just taking so damn long. I saw you got an RFE too. Was yours complicated?

[Darkmoonfaerie 19]

Yikes! They're taking that long for something so simple??? That makes me scared Ours was simple. We sent the decree absolute for Alan's divorce but they seem to think we sent the Nisi. We resent the absolute with a letter pointing out the features of a certified copy in the UK and a three copies of the actual decree (original, black and white showing better detail of the registering stamp and a highlighted one). Hope it's quick and painless for us and that you hear back really soon. You've waited long enough.

Don't forget. When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

I remember seeing this and then had the thought of "well what if they open the envelope the wrong way and get the bottom of the pile? Should I put a note saying the blue is on the other side?" Yes, I have that little faith in the government sometimes

All the little things we worry about!!

I have to start seling stuff too.

I don't care about gaming but the first question my son asked me when I told him we are moving was:

"What will happen to my Playstation?"

Ok, that was the smallest problem to fix with the big move.

Happy to see the updates when couples are that much closer to being together. Looking forward to seeing everyone else talk about flights and off the the airport updates

With the exception of the average processing time on the USCIS website, all other dates and times we've been given have been exaggerations, so I don't think it will be 60 days. You'll get it soon.

You son asks the right questions

I'm almost there with selling or dumping my things. It's weird to think that when I go to the airport, all I have (aside from my fiancee) will be in 2 cases a rucksack and a laptop bag. Granted Heather took a case back when she left and I've left some little bits on my last visit. Saying that though, Heather has moved into our apartment now, so I may only have room for 2 hangers and a spot for a pair of shoes left in the wardrobes

If you're lucky!!! I'm planning on selling more valuable things but then taking all the left overs to a car boot sale!!! Makes you really think about what IS valuable and what you treasure in life! i'm the same tho...Jason took some stuff when he was here in May and July and i have things i have left but yeah i'll be packing my life into 2 suitcases...my cabin luggage will be my wedding dress It's going to be a crazy weird day...saying goodbye to family at the airport will be emotional but i'll also be uber excited with my wedding dress in hand knowing i'm just hours away from Jason!

Wow, I can't even imagine... you guys really put things in perspective!!

Coming from Canada, I'm basically keeping ALL my stuff, and just loading it in a van/uhaul. Anything that doesn't fit, my parents will stash at their house for me and maybe bring it down to me in future drives to Florida, if I need it... or just hold it. I'm probably going to leave most of my winter clothes at their house, for future visits. I want to bring some of my furniture (dresser / nightstand / kitchen table / shelving maybe) down, because my dad built it for me, so if it doesn't all fit, they'll just bring it down later.

I'm not hugely attached to "stuff" and would definitely give it up if I needed to... but it's so hard to picture leaving home with just two luggages!

Yep...i'll leave a few things here that my parents can bring whenever they get to visit also. I now wish i'd thought of selling all my camping stuff a few months ago
