Well, the 1st one, the I-129F forms were expired....we didn't know it COULD expire. While the second time.. we don't know. The package NEVER reached VSC and the check was never cashed...it's just...gone. This third time, we overnighted it with USPS and we've made sure that it's there. =/ I really hope this one would work or both of us would go crazy.

Btw, I saw that some people actually got their NOA1 in 2-3 days after they sent their I-129f...that means that they saw it online right? Using the receipt number they got from the back of their cheque? Can we get our receipt number if we're using money order? If not, how long until we could possibly get our NOA1 by snail mail?
