Congratulations to everyone on all the good news!!

LOL...I'm gonna guess that sometime tonight, you'll be doing something and it'll hit you :) Hooray!!! :dancing:

I was filling in my Time line like a good vj member and i saw "received I-864 packet," am i suppose to be waiting on some packet cus my AOS packet (with cover sheet) is way on it's way to NVC?

Congratz to every one geting good news, been so busy at work i cant even get to read post.

NVC sends the AOS packet instructions sometime after the AOS bill is paid. But this is a hit and miss. For our case, we never received this at all.

Wow been busy....
