Hello! I thought I would stop by and intro myself/situation. I have been lurking here for a few months. I am American and Wife is Thai, Married in Sept. filed I-130 in April, recieved NOA1 and now in July just recieved NOA2. I have used lawyers through the whole process to assist my Wife and I. Everything seems to be going good so I thought I would post a little about me and my time line to try assist others who have the same questions. I do a lot of reading here but there may come a time when I have questions and hope someone will be able to lend a helping hand.

Welcome to site. I have no doubt you will

get good answers from the people here.

I think having a lawyer helping you is a good thing.

Good Luck

Welcome to VJ! My wife and step-daughter have arrived since February on an I-130. Like many people in this forum, everyone is always willing to help and is a good support group. This site has been very supportive during my stressful time of dealing with all the U.S. government agencies. I wish you and everyone still on the journey, much luck.

As you patiently wait for your spouse, my only suggestion is where ever you will be living at, make sure you find a good Thai or Asian grocery store. Lucky for me, I have one very close to my home here in Colorado, that my wife can find all of her ingredients for her Thai foods.

In addition, there is a Thai Buddhist temple in Denver and Parker. My wife has found new friends and some from her home village near Chiang Rai here is Denver.

Good luck.

Sorry for the late response. I do know there are some Thai grocery stores in Aurora, but since we're on the north side, here is the places you requested. In addition, on the south side, there is a Wat in parker, but do not have the name. If you contact the temple in Denver, they can provide you the info.

Grocery: You can find just about everything here.
