I have this weird complex where not having anything to plan is making me feel totally lost. The first half of this year I was working first on planning a baby shower, then our wedding and the I-130... one thing after another in my personal life combined with a sharp uptick in activity at work had me at full throttle for a looong time. Now the petition is out and I've pretty much completed the NVC paperwork (sheepish grin), I just feel like... #######, now what? The waiting is awful, especially since I can't visit my husband again until the end of September. I know that's a lot better than many of the people on VJ, and I'm definitely grateful we have the ability to see each other every few months, but probably everyone here knows any time apart from your SO stings. I'm so ready to start our life together, but since it's probably a year away, I'm just trying to find ways to fill the time between visits. Hello, reddit ;)

Wise words above guys. I know the feeling of not wanting to be helpless; I wanted to do everything in my power, regardless the odds of it making a difference, just so I (and my partner) knew I had don

Wow, already you have everything for NVC? Nice!

I was planning to do that in the US. I will be there Aug-Sept so I'll have enough time. I was thinking about making sure I have all accines when I come back and if I need any, get them from my doctor so my next year medical goes smoothly. vaccines i mean.

Even if we fly through uscis and nvc i cant move before i graduate. Urgh! Why did i drop out of law school, i could have been done by now XD

Dont get me started on work. I get more and more work and havent gotten paid since February. Ill strangle my boss the next time time I see him. :P

The worst part is that my husband is the beneficiary XD I'm insane. I've got what I need for the AOS, but out of sheer boredom I also prepped the Choice of Agent email and ran through the IV application. Turns out I can't save the form as PDF, so that was a waste, but ah well. Kept me out of trouble for a bit to fill it out :) I'm planning to bring back all his documents after I visit the UK in September, too. At some point he'll have to figure out which vaccinations he has and which he needs, but I think that'll wait until after Sep like you're doing.

When is school done? And omg, why haven't you been paid for so long?!

One more year of school. I am in two grad schools so that means i can look forward to two thesises (thesii? How does one make the plural of thesis?) next year. Sigh

And since im a student living with my parents the boss is very nonchallant about paying my student contracts. He knows im basically working for plane tickets so i always get it before my trips but this is annoying.

Sorry for the typing, i get lazy on a tablet because its slow :)

That's a lot of school! Do you have something specific in mind for a career? I have an English degree for undergrad and have had jobs in high tech since finishing school, so I figure I'll do graduate school if I have a brainwave for some other career path -- or if an employer compels me (/reimburses me for it) laughing.gif

The list is great! fingers crossed for all of us. I'd love to be back by Christmas, but regardless I'll be back by the end of January because my UK visa expires then. tomorrow is offically one month since we received our NOA1. My heart can't take this waiting game!

2013-22-05: Sent I-130 to Chicago Lockbox

2013-10-06: NOA1 received - Petition at Overland Park, Kansas

2013-11-12: Email stating our I-130 has been transferred to a local USCIS Office

2013-13-12: Email stating our I-130 was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office

Have now decided to do DCF through the London Embassy:

2013-22-10: Overnighted a second I-130 to London

2013-24-10: NOA1

2013-21-11: Letter requesting that we cancel our I-130 petition filed in the U.S.

2013-09-12: NOA2

Thanks for the complete list!

To update the list a little more, we are filing from abroad, since my husband is still living here in the Netherlands.

So our petition is staying at NBC.
