I hope the rest of the journey is smooth sailing!

I hope so too. I was beginning to think it could reach a year before we got out NOA2. I figured that August would be dropped from Igor's list before we got our approval lol.

Thankfully California finally was good to us :)

lol Thanks everyone. It's true! I have sat here congratulating many on their NOA2 and wondering why they were so excited. Suddenly there I am yelling loudly at 4.30 in the morning and waking my own kids up!

I am so embarassed I put RFE instead of NOA2. Glad most people realised, and for those that didn't, well I am sorry i got it wrong but if you have the pain of waiting for over 9 months, see if you can type straight at 4.30 in the morning rofl.gifoops8rh.gif

Congratulations to both of you!!

I know how excited we were when we got our NOA2 text, it took a while to sink in, read the acceptance on the uscis website, over and over again, thinking we missed something, and was it real or a mistake lol but yes it was real.

We was approved on the 18 April and i got my letter from the London Embassy yesterday 9 May, so i suggest you print off the forms DS-2001, DS-230 Part I&II, DS156K and 2 Copies of DS-156 and DS-157 and start fill them in. At the same time get an affidavit of support and all supportive documents notarized and sent to you from your fiance, as well as a new letter of intent to marry from him, also notarized as these take a while to get and send. If you havn't already done so order your police report as it takes a while to get them unless you want to pay extra to get it sooner!! and not forgetting your vaccinations! I got my from my NHS Doctor for free, it will be quite expensive at the Knightsbridge doctors.

Anyway good luck to you both and if you want any more help advice on forms and documentation just let me know.

P.S I am also Oregon Bound, not far from Portland. Oregon is a beautiful place and so worth the months of waiting :)

Yep your top of the county, I am at the bottom. It is a beautiful place and we will be living on a ranch, almost 600 acres :)

What exactly does it mean by getting them notorised? That keeps cropping up but notorised by whom?

Yeah gonna call my doctor soon :( Me and the kids are sooooooo NOT looking forward to injections.

Yes it will all be worth it :)

Living on a Ranch, how exciting is that, you have a lot to look forward to then :)

Notarized is done by a notary public and they certify or attest to the validity of documents and signatures. I.E your fiance's letter of intent and affidavit of support and supportive documents to show they are true and correct. You need the documents to take with you to the interview...but your fiance needs to complete the documents and get them notarized in the U.S before he sends them to you!! He needs to Google, Oregon Notary Public Commission and click on the link "find an Oregon Notary Public", this shows a list of Oregon states, just click your state and it will show who can notarize documents for you in your area!!

Also with regards your injections, its a long list and some time you need boosters a months after the initial one, but just depends on what you have had already!! so go and see them as soon as you can!! Although they are needed for you to get the visa, you need them for the AOS = Adjustment of status...and im told they can be quite expensive over in the states!!
