Congrats everyone!!! I'm so excited to see everyone progressing!

My husband and I just sent in my AOS packet today! I'm hoping Chicago will receive it sometime early next week! Anyway, I started a new thread for AOS Filers for March 2016 because I hadn't seen one started yet. So come join me there if you're filing AOS in March! The thread is called: AOS March 2016 Filers :).

I haven't been on here in a while but just wanted to make a quick update that I had my interview this morning and got approved :-) I'm so happy that the hardest step is over and in just a few weeks I will be able to marry the love of my life. The waiting period for AOS will be much easier since we'll be together. I'm really grateful for all the information I've gathered on this forum - it's a God send :-)
