Hey everyone,

What is everyone doing to by pass time? Any trips, moves, parties, "date nights" via Skype, etc planned?

(I'm bored. Husband overslept and not on Skype in the morning as usual, so I wander the net and usually find my way here.)

Knitting! A friend challenged me to knit a scarf this month so I've been doing that.

Also I am obsessing over time lines. I constantly check the time line stats to give me some sort of idea when I might few able to move. And I have been compiling lists and lists of things to do before then. Places I want to see in the UK before I leave, stuff to get rid of, stuff to buy, and so on. Lists galore here!

I am going in 3 weeks time for probably our last time we see each other before I have my visa in my hand. So more lists for that. Things to take, things that need to be done at work before I go.

E&E - I wish I could give you some tips on how to fix it. I've tested the site out a few times after seeing your post, and it's working fine as far as I can tell. I've tried multiple computers also. What link are you using?

Hey guys and gals!!

We are doing DCF in Athens. We would love to leave mid June so the boys can attend a summer class to prepare them for school.

That gives us 3 months. It is not enough time for DCF is it?

Other than the glitch with the divorce we are paper ready.

Sigh. Oh the stress!!

Every country seems to do things different. A guy from the Philippines went from i-130 to visa in less than 2 months. There after the i-130, you don't send anything in, you just bring to the interview that you can schedule right after your i-130 is approved. Here in Thailand, I think the same in Athens, you have to send in the packet 3 docs before they send you an appointment date. They seem here to schedule in monthly blocks. So April is filled already, if I send in now the earliest I can hope for an appointment is the first of May. I know you got the ball rolling on your app. Here you can go to the embassy site an see if you have an appointment even if you haven't heard from them yet. You may have an appointment date and not even know it.

Hello! I hope your days is going great so far.

My husband, who is the USC, filed for Form I-130 in Feb. We got the NOA1 on March 1. It is being processed at the Potomac Service Center. Hubby called USCIS and they told him it could take up to 6 months. What?!?! My AOS application is ready to be sent out tomorrow. Is it a good idea to send it out, knowing that our I-130 is still being processed? I could have submitted them together, but we were still waiting for some documents for the AOS.
