Hey all!

I would just like to let you know that this morning I received my visa and "brown envelope" fro the NZ Consulate! They were so great to me and were aware that I had a flight out of here next Tuesday so they got to work and made sure my visa was ready before I left! Thank god for caring people... :) :) :)

During my interview, the lady that was going through all my paperwork began talking to me basicaly about the next 3 years of my life... she gave me some great advice that although could already be on this forum.. I haven't seen it yet. When you arrive at POE and they take your brown envelope from you.. ASK THEM WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO SEND IT! The reason for this is because when you apply for your AOS, you need to send all of that paperwork to the same place as where your brown envelope goes!

For all those out there who are just getting their NOA2... it has just gone a month since I got mine and I am going to be back with my babe in just a few days so stay positive.. you are on the fast track now! :thumbs:
