Just mailed off my I-134 Affidavit of Support and a new Letter of intent to my Fiance in the Philippines. I used LBC Express to send it, much cheaper than Fedex. $15.95 to send a 1.6 LBS packet of documents. I was just going to send the signed forms and have her print out the rest but it was only $5 more to send the whole packet. FedEx wanted my first born and half my paycheck. :ranting: LBC Express has about 60 USA locations I think, I had one about 30 minutes away so I was lucky. I scan and upload all my documents to a PDF file to Google Drive for my fiance to share. Now the waiting to get the MNL#... Good luck everyone.

That's a good thought getting it done before hand! Didn't think about that! THANKS. I'll get my fiance on that ASAP ;)

that's a good idea but I am probably 5 hrs from LBC branch... Fed EX cost a lot of money..

Silly question...I see that for many of you your TIMELINE posts at the bottom of your postings, almost like a signature line or something. Is this a simple feature to turn on and is it updated automatically or is this something I have to do myself each time something changes.

I see how to turn on a signature but my question was is there a way that the board will automatically put my timeline info in the signature or is this something I must do myself. You used the term "auto sig" and that I do not see anywhere

The timeline should reflect the Notice Date, which is your "NOA1" date... otherwise everyone around here will be flipping out that you got approved in 4 days ;)

Edit: Wow, 9 days NOA1 to NOA2 is still some kind of record!

We haven't set up an interview, but over at the Canada regional forum it seems like people are able to schedule pretty easily, so that's good! Next week I'll start calling NVC to get our case number.

She's coming from Toronto, and I'm in NYC, so we're hoping to get a Friday or Monday interview and make a long weekend of it! :)
