Kedu!!!! Odimma!!!...Yeah...you know I have to show my igbo pride...and of course...American too...HELLO...See what happens when you have parents (Nigeria/US) from different parts of the world...

And of course my honey...is Naija all the way!!!!!!!! So I'm back from my visit...in UK!!!! And things are moving along since I last posted in this section...

Okay I just had to change my timeline again...It seems that you can receive on thing in the mail...and when you call to speak to a live person you get another things...

Okay my NOA2 was approved via email on 1/10/07 and I got in in the mail on 1/16/07...Then on 1/22/07 I got a letter from NVC dated 1/18/07 that they received the approval I-129F petition...and that in 1 week it would be forwarded to the embassy in London...

Okay...

So I called today the NVC gave them my case # and found out that NVC had actually mailed my file out on 1/12/07 and it arrived in London (US Embassy) on 1/17/07....

I mean everything is cool and seems to be running smoothly...so far...but it's funny how they can mail you letters when the information is not written in updated format...but if we send in any incorrect paperwork they are ready to give you a RFE or find some reason to reject you or investigate you...

Isn't life grand...!!!

But it's cool to think that London got the file the day I landed in London to visit...my honey...

Also isn't it funny...this time around the immigration officer at the airport...wanted to give me a hard time about me have frequent trips back and forth to UK...1st time I stayed 8 days...second time 4 days and this time 5 days...They wanted to know what kind of work I did that allows me time off and blah, blah, and why I like visiting family/friends so much...

I was felt like geez lady it's 7am in the morning....I just want to get some sleep...

But all in all it was cool...and the trip was awesome...

Yeah it's kind of neat...I was born here in the US, but I have one parent that is Nigerian and the other that is American...So I've kind of already gone down the cycle of blending both cultures...

Thanks...

Your timeline seems really good and I think most people who file in vermont seem to have the same thing going as well. Myself and my naija baby(USC) will be doing same, I will watch yours closely to see how it goes cos am also in London as well. :dance:

Just never return via Ohio from Nigeria. They put me through the ringer, tired as I was and sent me to the DHS officers where they emptied my bags, opened every item I was carrying and read all my cards, etc. Examined my empty suitcase thoroughly, x-rayed it twice, and questioned me endlessly about what I was doing in Nigeria and all about my fiance'. I felt totally violated and my luggage never made it on the plane to my final destination and I barely did! I will be sure my fiance' does not travel through Ohio!!
