Yeah, exactly that.... I'm terrified. 
After that - once they say it's all fine - I'll be dancing on the streets, I promise you! :)

The good thing is London and German embassy are maybe 2 of the easier embassies to have your visa interview 😀😀

Oh great!!! I need to know how many days after the NOA2 date you could get a casenumber at NVC.
Screw pack 3 for now... I want to run to the medical ASAP!!!

Nah, it explicitely says all pages!
Happy copying haha :)

I seen something that you can just copy the birth certificate front and back page is that true? Because if so I'm gonna do that instead of photo copying 30 pages of a passport hahaha

Yep you can send either the birth certificate (front and back) OR the complete passport...every page even if blank. I sent both just in case and I had to take a bunch of copies of passport pages anyway for stamps so I just made a copy of every page. But I was able to make copies for free and super quick so it wasn't much of a hassle for me. You should be fine with just sending the birth certificate so long as the new I-129F states the same as the previous version which we filed.

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

- The Dalai Lama

@Bri&Grant: The USC doesn't need a birth certificate if she/he provides a copy of all pages of his/her passport. Check the instructions page you've gotten with the i129F. Things have changed since we here filed ours, so you better stick with the checklist! Good luck for your journey! :)

@Wilma77: I live in Bavaria, close to Nürnberg! :)

Haha you are all communicating so much... we only have our Sunday Facetime for 1-2 hours. During the week we don't call - we both don't like phone calls. But we text all day/night, whenever one is up.
He works kind of a lateshift/nightshift, so he goes to work when I'm done with mine, and I get up for work, once he gets off. Since phones aren't allowed at his job we couldn't even talk if we wanted.
But we're used to it and it's fine :)

*hangs head* Um Chris and I talk everyday from 7pm-11pm my time usually unless i work late or have family stuff or if he works or he goes out with friends. But then he is only an hour behind me in time zones lol

That's true! Of course you only do the crappy job of copying the passport if you DON'T have a butt certificate :P (like my hero had to do, haha)!
If you have one - take that, front and back! :)

Yeah true. YET! So we better hurry, before we get classified "critical" because of all the bs going on in our countries! :)

My stress will go down 50% once NOA2 is here, and then after the medical. :)

Aww don't stress too much about the RFE! At least you already know what it is so if it happens you will be prepared and can send it back right away. You might have to just send the complete i-129F again but I'm not sure...I know a lot of people have gotten RFE's for missing boxes so you can ask in the earlier threads and someone should be able to tell you what they did.

 

As for the photos, as long as you have them backed up to icloud you can open them on your computer through icloud. I backup all of my photos in icloud and through google photos because I'm paranoid about losing stuff haha. 

Sorry, I missed your comment last night.. :(( Yes.. I'm waiting if someone would know about it.. I might just have to open a new topic later. ^^

 

yaay!! Thank you! I'll try to recover all of them later. Thank you. :))

I hope Scott did that right. 
It kills my German nature to not be able to double check lol 

When I mailed him our folder... it was like giving a rib lol 

Oh, hah! So I guess I'm a Spanish girl with a German nature. I was over the moon when we found out Gary had got the divorce while I was there... Because then I could take care of preparing the package myself :P (Obviously not only because of that, but it was a nice extra).

 

Wondering why I get tagged in a butt related post, LOL. But hey, guys, this is serious stuff... Who certify your butt and how do they do it? Now that's something to think about <_<

Haha, I figured :D

But you know, I'm more inquisitive than funny... So now I'm wondering what should I do to become a butt inspector once I'm allowed to work after getting my EAD... Since this seems to be an US thing :P

 

Funny dreams, since it seems late for you already ;)
