I just called NVC...they've got my stuff now :thumbs: What a relief to finally know that my paperwork is out of CSC's hands!!!! 21 days between NOA2 and NVC receipt for me...sounds about the norm these days

EH,

Congratulations!

Umm...

Have you seen the new mailing addresses for the Adjustment of Status? :help: By the looks of your local office, you will be submitting your AOS to CSC. :unsure:

:lol:

I think I'm laughing only at the irony. I will be stuck there too. It's like a horror story. Just when you think you killed him -- HE'S BACK... and we thought waiting for the K-3 was tough... isn't the AOS even worse?

Anyway, enjoy getting your loved one here. I think the AOS will be easier to deal with once we have our spouses at our sides.

Good evening,

Robin

Good evening,

Robin

Robin,

Even though I've heard it's really tedious, I'm not too worried about the AOS. I don't even have a clue what we need to do for AOS right now because, like probably most other VJer's, I'm just excited as heck to get my sweetheart here. I'm an organization freak, so once it comes time to do the AOS I'm sure it won't be a problem.

You're exactly right about everything being easier when our spouses are with us. Once she's here and we can do everything together, the AOS will probably seem like no big deal at all.

We're almost there!

Dennis
