FINALLY I got the approval email (2 actually) last night from the famous "CRIS". My husband and I are still in shock. It's so hard to believe that it happened last night!

Anyways, what is my next step? I know you hear this from EVERYONE I'm sure and I have looked but I'm still confused.

Can I do anything to get started now? Or do I just wait for the NOA2 in the mail and then instructions about NVC will be in there telling my what my next steps are?

I've read the NVC Jame's shortcuts too, a little confusing but if I re-read 'em over again and again I'm sure I'll understand it more, especially when I have the paperwork in front of me! ;)

Is this next process with the NVC difficult at all? The main thing that I'm worried about is those forms my husband has to fill out. His mail service down in Honduras is terrible and it takes 2 months to get something! I know about the Choice of Agent thing and I know that I only am supposed to send an email to NVC telling them to make me the Choice of Agent once I hear that they have generated that form, but after the papers get sent to me, how can I get my husband to fill his part out (if he has to fill something out?).

Can you tell I'm a bit worried and confused? Thank you for any and all replies! :D

Hehe. Oops! :) Actually, I don't know how to move a post. Perhaps you just have to wait for a moderator to move it.
