What a great site!

I've just registered and it's awesome (and a little frightening) to read about other's experiences.

My husband is a USC, and I'm Canadian - we have been doing long distance for over 5 years (parenting & other issues/complications) and finally got married this past September. luv.gif

We hired an immigration lawyer to do the paperwork. Filed the I-130 Nov 8th and received the NOA1 Nov 22 from the Texas Service centre.

The timeline for the TSC seemed a little dreary, but after registering here and seeing what this site thinks our timeline to the NOA2 is, I feel somewhat heartened that my beloved and I will be able to start our life together by fall of next year.

My very best wishes to all who are on this road, it's not an easy one and takes LOTS of patience!

Namaste.
