Oh good. You have a weekend to think about other things, because the senator says "answer on Monday." What are you going to do with your free time? :)

I want to, and then I look around and go "but this isn't clean...and you can't put more stuff in here...fix it fix it!" lol. My worst thing is making lists, then tacking them up EVERYWHERE... :blush:

On weekends I always think about the process. This will end when I am with my wife in the states. On weekend, as usual, I talk, chat with wifey I rest and go to rehearsal in the afternoon at church. I play piano for my church, I'm christian.

I emailed the DS-3032 same day I got the case #, but one who's NOA2 got their DS-3032 and AOS Bill same day. Lucky them maybe?

laughing.gif Make digital ones :P They don't take up any physical space!

I received my DS-3032 in the first package (with the case numbers and such). But why are you concerned about that? Haven't you emailed the DS-3032 to NVC already?

Doesn't it make you feel MORE stressed to never take a day off from thinking about the process? I try not to log in here much even, because I need a break. After my weekend, on Mondays I usually feel refreshed and ready to go - but by Friday I'm ready to take my phone and ram it down the next DoS operator's throat that tells me wrong info - that's how I know it is time for a break! :P

.....whaaaaa? It's not the same! You can't cross stuff off of digital lists on your wall! Gah! How would I keep all my ducks in a row?! LOL :P

I know how you feel actually. I have a physical agenda for school to cross off assignments I've done. With all the apps and such out there, I'm sure it would have been easy for me to find an online, digital agenda, but I too like the feeling of crossing things off.

You can keep your physical ones, as long as you throw them away once everything is crossed off :P

I did the same thing for my immigration process. Here's a snapshot of my sticky notes on my wall with each step of the process. Took them off my wall once each step was complete.

I emailed the DS-3032 same day I got the case #, but one who's NOA2 got their DS-3032 and AOS Bill same day. Lucky them maybe?

But I still don't get what you're concerned about. Them sending the DS-3032 doesn't mean anything. It's standard. What you should be focusing on is them accepting your DS-3032.

I called nvc, the embassy has not given their final decision yet.... I'm happy because today my wife received a letter at her house from nvc date April 18th stating our request was denied. This letter was written for the previous request that we made and was written the same day we made our second request. The second request was sent at 10hpm april 18th and got a message from nvc saying the reviewing started april 19th. It was just to avoid confusion I called and to tell wifey there is still hope.

You are saying NVC Emailed you a response saying your expedite review started April 19th? I emailed my Expedite request on Tuesday April 17th @7:00 PM and only got the auto-response email :hehe:

Hehe ^_^ I just used this free sticky note pad I had lying around. First column of sticky notes was about the AOS package and what was needed, second column was about the IV package, third column was the medical, and the fourth was the interview. I also then had digital notes of what I needed to do before I moved (sell stuff, pack, rent a car, etc). Lists are awesome :D And keeps yourself SO organized! Plus, it feels good to cross things off and remove your lists (if physical).

...long weekend? It's no longer than normal, it's 2 days (Saturday and Sunday - NVC is open Monday...)

When I talking on phone with her, when we hang up I still miss her. Even I was using skype when we log out I was still gonna miss her or even I see her. My only way to stop thinking about the process is to be with her and be able to play with that big belly. The baby does not need nobody to touch the belly, she will kick u... Lol I really want to feel the baby kicking my hand.

Those 2 days are like an eternity for me
