LOL, I know that's the point - but completely incapacitated for 30 hours is definitely not a good idea. That was a really low dose of a prescription - may look into Gravol or something (and may take only half a tablet). I've been ok on flights with just distraction before, but the flights I end up on lately tend to be really turbulent (think cracking head into the window or the overhead storage), so we'll see...

Turbulence is no fun.

I don't think I've been so happy to see that someone has an interview.

Now to make sure you have everything.

Just got off the phone with nvc again, received two checklists today one for my ds-261 which Sage confirmed they have had on file since the 20th. "I think it's a mistake and they are asking for the ds-260" "but I have yet to receive the invoice" "you should get it soon". The second for hubby's AOS, a copy of his business licence or recent letter on company letterhead- which he does not have "began just create one and write a letter with details of his business and how long he's been self employed"

We have a joint sponsor I don't see why it is imperitive that we create some false letterhead for their enjoyment, but I'll jump through any hoop at this point, must find a friend with photoshop.

I received an email from NVC 4/30 telling me they received the documents. Just curious from people who had to do electronic filing how long did it take to get case complete at NVC after you sent your documents? <br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(245, 249, 253); ">Thanks :)
