congratulations ! any photos of the wheel chair, with you in it? (teasing you) .

but seriously - how was the walk and elevator rides?

when you get a moment, please write up yer embassy review thingie..

ODD, IV payment in Pending Withdraw for hours, NVC simply does not take ...

it's a strange system, to be sure.

the bank show any movement out of yer account ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

I hate hate hate seeing NVC in such a slow down. I keep getting PMs from people asking me how I got through so fast. I feel bad telling them, "Pure luck, we got through before the big dump NVC had all over everyone else"

I woke up today and realized we'll be leaving for Montreal in five days. I'm now stressing over paperwork that I'd quit stressing over a few weeks ago. I'm again going through our folder making sure everything is perfect. I think I'll be like Shell and once the interview is over I'll crash for hours lol.

Hey now, I don't want to be waiting for your interview to be over just for you to crash on me :P

Shell - a huge congrats on passing your interview. I bet you are relieved to know it's all done. Can't wait to hear about your experience. :dance:

Kerry - I am so sorry to hear your IV bill STILL isn't invoiced yet. I feel frustrated right along with you. In fact you are more patient than I could ever be. :angry:

Saylin - belated happy anniversary

Darnell - is your crystal ball working? I need a prediction on when case complete will be?

My packages ( both AOS and DS230) were delivered at 10:29am on Friday 18th May. Just called NVC and Jim told me (you'll never guess) to wait 20 business days. :rofl: As if!

Anyone else want to predict case complete date for me?

Thanks :)

And I expect a case complete this week if both packages are accepted ;)

Interview APPROVED!

I-864 QUESTIONS:

PART 2: Information on the principal immigrant - #3 Mailing Address

My beneficiary wife's address contains a lot more than just a number and street name. Should I type in "Please see continuation sheet" on that box space. And at the same time, leaving the other boxes below (City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code, Country) blank?

PART 6: #24 b) My current annual household income

I was only intending to use my sister as my joint sponsor. On her I-864 form, does my joint sponsor need to include her husband's income information on these blanks in item #24 b?

2003 - met online

12-09-2010 - met for the first time

12-11-2010 - engaged

06-07-2011 - married

09-27-2011 - I-130 sent

09-29-2011 - NOA1

04-04-2012 - I-130 approved

05-14-2012 - NVC Case number received

06-26-2012 - Case completed

08-02-2012 - VISA APPROVED :)

See my timeline below from NOA2 to Case #. It took 4 weeks for me, but it all depends on NVC and how busy they are.
