I was the most anxious for the NOA1 because I just wanted to make sure they got it and now I just check in here and wait patiently...I've started getting some of the things ready for the next step though so I'm jumping around trying to collect everything when the time comes.

I think I am most anxious about them denying us the visa in the interview. Which is probably the most common anxiety.

I am also PETRIFIED of the blood test I have to take, I hate needles and I hate having to get my blood taken! :cry:

Yea, I saw one that was January 27th. But there are still around 164 applications left from January (just from here) so it will take a while :)

Do you know if your fiance's country matters in the turn-around? I saw some Haiti applicants that got their NOA2s within 2 weeks.

I think it matters if you would expedite the process, some countries go on a special expedite list when bad things are happening. I don't know if Haiti is still on that list.

It took about a week to get something from my bank regarding my bank accounts and only a couple days to get a letter from my employer....and luckily they knew what kind of document i was asking for.

Good news about CSC.

My bank is for military and veterans I'm sure they've dealt with this before.

So not much prep time for the second step? The first step took a while!

I'm in the same boat as you! I absolutely hate needles (hate hate hate! I had to take four ativan to get through my immunizations!) and am not looking forward to that bit at all. Someone, hopefully my fiance, might have to come with me for that! :crying:

I am glad that I am not the only one! I can handle vaccinations but as soon as they want to get into a vein I am a mess!

Will you move to Boston or surroundings?
