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!

Click on my controls in the top right hand corner

In the left column, click "edit my signature"

Then manually add the details in yourself :)

Congrats on your NOA1 :)

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 :)
