Ok so ..... I have been reading last couple of pages and posting from today ... Before anyone says something ?...... I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and suggestion. I very much appreciate that everyone in their own manner or knowledge or experience is willing to share whatever they can...... And believe me it not this helps a lot. Infact I feel like this community in many ways supersedes getting a lawyer. Like always this is a community and we are all here to help each other ?

Before we got started on our paperwork, when I was just learning about the requirements for pursuing a spousal visa, I was tempted to get a lawyer. I thought, it's such an important thing, why not make sure it gets done right? But this site gave me everything I needed to make sure I got it done right on my own. Anyone familiar with Geico commercials in the US? "I just saved a bunch of money by switching to VJ!" ^_^

That is awesome! :D

Edit: Just got a great idea of making a commercial, similar to Geico's, but about VJ and using that tagline :lol:

I read all posts before posing a question. And I keep reading every 2-3 days just to keep up. My NOA1 was march 4th but I have already prepared my AOS and IV packet already just by reading all the posts. So...Much thank you to Saylin and other senior members for their contribution.

On other note....I'm addicted. Is there a VJ anonymous group? lol
