Hey guys (and gals),

What do you do while you wait?

What about the more practical issues of you know, ALL YOUR STUFF??

We cannot possibly ship everything, most of our furniture is cheap IKEA stuff which cost more to ship than to replace. We decided to get only books and items of sentimental value with us but the enormity of the task scares me.

I have barely started sorting through the kids winter clothes (which won't fit next winter anyway) and I am overwhelmed already!!!

How about you?

I was initially planning to take almost everything I have ever owned but I've had second thoughts. There is just me, no kids or pets.

I've decided this is a new start for me and for us as a couple. I want to make new memories with my husband and so I'm leaving almost everything behind. Some things are being donated to someone who needs them more than me. Some things are being sold. I don't even care if I don't get much money for them. I'm leaving this life here behind and starting a new life. I think I will feel like an immigrant from the olden times then when I arrive with very little stuff. What I can take with me on the plane is going. Everything else is staying.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

I feel that we were calling them every week for the status and when i checked the case numbers before my number, i see no changes. It must be that they took an action over our case as we were calling thm

Timeline

I was initially planning to take almost everything I have ever owned but I've had second thoughts. There is just me, no kids or pets.

I've decided this is a new start for me and for us as a couple. I want to make new memories with my husband and so I'm leaving almost everything behind. Some things are being donated to someone who needs them more than me. Some things are being sold. I don't even care if I don't get much money for them. I'm leaving this life here behind and starting a new life. I think I will feel like an immigrant from the olden times then when I arrive with very little stuff. What I can take with me on the plane is going. Everything else is staying.

That is SO true!!! I never of it that way. Of course sentimental value things will come along but everything else will go too. I am already sorting things to donate and things to sell. Not that we have much but ok :)

I told the kids they can sell their toys and they can keep the money and buy whatever they want from the USA.
