Still waiting for I-864 bill & DS3032 to be generated...

Thanks Vylex! (Man, that sounds like a prescription medicine for some reason).

Anyway, I can't wait for this whole process to be done so I can see my husband again. I haven't seen in since February 3rd and I probably won't see him until end of August, early September when we go to the interview. Poi n J, the first couple of weeks are AWFUL, I can't even begin to tell you how depressed I was knowing that I was here and he was there, but then somehow you get used to being apart again.

Heya Saywhat,

Thanks for the heads-up on the Tax Authorisation form.

Soz about your mail problems. My hubby is on his way back home now so at least we can send some of the things we need to send faster now.

One question: you say grit your teeth for another four months - is that what you expect it to take? If so, that means I can expect it to be about November for me?

Goodness, I was thinking September/October now it looks as though I'll be lucky to get there by your Thanksgiving..!

Well actually a couple of things will slow us down (more when you see our progress so far )

Firstly we are both in the UK and mailing and being mailed from here

Then Royal Mail's airsure system says 5 days but takes 10 to the NVC - and NVC takes exactly 2 weeks to come to us

Couriers cannot deliver to a PO BOX in the states - as we found out losing lots of time and money(told em to destroy check etc)

Then we will be doing London interview which takes forever

So I reckon we will be lucky to hit mid October - then I think these full immigrant visas do not get mailed out same day like K1's - some people say it takes weeks..

So we will probably be getting the visa the day before we HAVE to fly 5th November

We will have to book tickets and ship everything on the assumption it will be ok

If I fly 3rd November I get a conditional visa - if I fly 5th I get 10 year unconditional

If I fly 7th november or after I will not have been there 5 years when I hit 65 so I wont get Medicare

So its really critical that I hit the 5th November - I only have a 2 day window...so all these delays mean the tension is rising with every day - and now the Royal Mail are going on strike so I cant even get the check to NVC by regular airmail !

I am going to need Medicare in the arrivals hall at this rate !

jeez

Vylex, thanks!

It's a BIG relief to have the paperwork done, but I can't say I stopped worrying

I recall reading about someone who tried to scan her barcode but it didn't work. Maybe it needs to be activated first or something. I'm curious how you do with that

I am going to need Medicare in the arrivals hall at this rate !

Oh, you poor thing! And the Royal Mail is going on STRIKE? Aw, jeez.

yes its only a 1 day strike but it will knock the schedules out for days....

my AOS fee which they said would take 5 days is still not delivered to nvc - now 8 days - it was 10 when i mailed the original I-130 . Carolyn says all these 'special' fast secure services take longer than normal air mail deliveries which seems nonsense but it's true !

Well Paris Hilton has just been on the telly as she comes out of prison and said 'don't serve the time - let the time serve you'

I know she is no einstein but I think she might have said or repeated something that we USCIS/NVC waiters can use - there is plenty of stuff we need to do and need to know before emigrating - so if we concentrate on doing that then perhaps the time will go quicker and we will be better equipped and informed when we arrive ...

Wow, look at how fast things are moving along now for all you folks!

PnJ, THANKS! I hope I get the DS3032/AoS Bill generation in the next week or two. As far as barcodes, my last company used lots of mobile devices and a few had built in barcode scanner. I am going to drop by one of these days and try it out. There are generic software that can read barcodes on them back in the day when I tested LOL. If they still have the goods I should be able to confirm it. Just overkill and an excuse to visit my old friends hehe.

Ahh..ok lol.. Just trying to make sure I've thought of everything so that it goes as smooth as possible.

**Here's hoping it comes asap for you too Vylex**

Four months ... but then you'll be together for ever and ever, right? That's good

I'm at 156 days and counting ... ugh.

Stay strong, girl

Yes, it is nice having something to look forward to aye...!

Oh you poor dear (((HUGS))).. I know I shouldn't complain.... least not just yet..lol..

Thank you.

Oh no! Crikey mate..!
