Oh my, those are impressive packages.

Mine was just a slim little thing.

Just checked with my bank! My check cleared yesterday!

I've been following a thread about what they consider a fiance. I asked my SO how he'd describe our "engagement" and he was like, "well, we've been together for so long that we just decided to get married, and that's it." I wonder if this'll be an acceptable explanation or if I should work with him on something a little more defined.

Do days seem like years to anyone else? I fear I'm becoming a bit addicted to the USPS website trying to track my packet. I only sent it Monday....and it's only Thursday afternoon. I'm feeling a bit neurotic. They really should offer free psychological services for this process.

I know I have things on my side, filing the 'faster' form (I-129F instead of I-130) and I get to go through Vermont, and the embassy in Barbados is very fast too, usually less than 2 weeks for an interview. But I'm dying just for the packet to get to Vermont!!!!!!!!!

Anticipation!

Ok, I'm much better now.

Thanks for the vent.

I know what you mean. I am pretty impatient during circumstances like this and I just try and deal with it the best I can. I don't get frustrated, but the process is always on my mind :)

I just want the VSC to cash my check, I feel that will calm me down a bit.

Received my NOA1 today, 9 days after nervously standing at the post office as the counter dude explained me the difference between certified and registered mail!

Pardon my ignorance, but I know how to edit my timeline, but I don't know how to make it appear under all my posts. Help!

I sent mine a while back... and it was forwarded to California... apparently Texas does not handle the I-129F... Mine was received in California about 3 days after Texas signed for it... I still do not have my "snail mail" notice of the NOA1, but I was able to get my "WAC#" from the back of the check (online banking picture) ... so... Best of luck to you.... Looks like we are both waiting in NC :)
