UK VJers Progress Update Thread

My fiance finally managed to get the paperwork printed today. He'll send it out either tomorrow or Monday. I'm hoping to have my NOA2 by the end of the month.

Fiance just purchased his flight over to the states for good! So excited!!

Just wanted to double check something really quickly though - Dublin counts as the POE when you fly through, correct?

He has 3 hours there - that should be good?? -- hopefully.....

Exciting to see how its going for everyone else! Can't believe he's going to be here so soon!

36 days!

Dublin is indeed a POE, I imagine 3 hours will be more than enough, I plan on using this route when I enter also as I think I will feel more relaxed on the flight if I've already passed through POE and enter as domestic! I've been through Dublin to JFK before, moved through pretty fast on VWP!

36 days whoop whoop to that... It will fly by!

My Fiance just sent the paperwork for our RFE today. It should hopefully be there on Wednesday. I've got the app set up and I'm going to sign up to tracking with the USPS website as soon as it lets me, but our number isn't in their system yet.

On another note, yes Dublin is POE, I am probably going there too since it seems all the dates for my virgin airmiles are booked out and it is a considerably cheap option if I buy the flight to Dublin separately and then the second section.

Dublin Ireland is your POE if your flight leaves thru Terminal 2. Terminal 2 is the only one for US Pre-clearance. While most flights to the US go thru there not all of them do. If it does not then your POE will be where the flight lands in the US.

Hope this helps.

Finally got everything ready for interview. Paid the visa and courier fee, now just to get through the next few weeks and hope to get approved

You can also use Shannon, Ireland for this too albeit with a much more restricted flight schedule/destinations. I think Abu Dhabi too, as well as some Canadian airports! I booked my flights today - flying from London to Madrid to Boston at the end of May (cheap route on airmiles)

Received Packet 3 today, medical's been booked and both forms have been submitted. Today as well.

Though... finding a printer for the DS-160 confirmation page is the next challenge.

Congratulations!

This may be the most boring post I've ever written but there used to be services where you could upload your document, they'd print it and send it you through the post for a small cost (used to be postage plus a negligible fee. This is only if you get really desperate though! I'm sure you'll have less ridiculous solutions! I only used it one when I knew I wouldn't be anywhere near a personal printer whilst travelling and wanted the printing ready for when I got to my destination.

That always seems to be the problem--finding a printer lol. I think my fiance just waited to print it while he was at work the next day after we filled out his DS-160.

CEAC status was changed to 'issued' today. Not much longer which I'm SO grateful for, but I'm of the impatient sort. Waiting just sucks all the fun out of this part after you're approved lol.

Hello Everybody!

Nice to see some new faces and some old ones here too!

We got married last Saturday and after the long road to get to that point, it was so worth it!

Going to start the AOS later this week after a month off from paperwork, but a month of wedding planning is almost as bad, just kidding!

Hoping the AOS goes easier then the K1 process, should be because we will be together doing it together

Please remember, no matter how frustrated you get, Keep your eyes on the price! ( Your love )

Paperwork for the RFE just marked 'delivered' at CSC. Waiting for the USCIS update next and hoping that I'll hear something soon.

Good to see new faces & old ones progressing through the system....

So far I've been here just over 3 weeks, got my social security card & State ID, my son & his girlfriend have arrived ready for the wedding this Friday ?

My State ID is only valid till the original 90 days expires then I have to go renew it again, they were pretty good & let me use my UK work photo ID as one of the proofs.

Very excited to say that I got my Green Card the other day. Still haven't found a job yet but having that and my drivers license means I feel like a real person again!
