they said more than i can think of. i live in salem. salem is about one hour drive south of portland. i came back from my first visit to the Pilippines last jan.3` 2013.i have sleeping problems, so staying awake the whole time is a long flight. and yes you may want to wear something like sweats to be comfy and warm enough on the plane. maybe even a t-shirt with a sweatshirt over it-layers. when i left the PI , i had layover in korea for 23 hours. it was 11 deg.- below zero- celsius. so think about if you have layover where you may leave the airport? yes and having U.S. currency for a snack or meal for layover. i flew asiana, and was very happy with service. food was good. the all have small light blanket incase your cold also. paper slippers.... change for phone call if you don't carry a cell that will work while coming over here. asiana even had tooth brushes and paste. so you don't have to dig through your carryon bag.i never read books. so if you do, i'd bring one or two books. that way is good to pas time when not watching a movie. welcome to oregon! there is a lot to see. esp nature here. you'll arrive 4 days before my birthday. my Bing will fly for the first time in the pi, this december to see what it's like before flying to portland, herself. it will be exciting, and fun. especially of you can sleep most places . i can not to is was hard on me to stay awake so long. congrats - kieran

we also got our Noa2 fast from csc. approved on sept 30th.i called and e-mailed NVC. i finally got an e-mail back. it said to scan my I-797 and e-mail it to them, and they will contact the csc to find it. because they have not recieved it. 40 days from noa2 to nvc seems right, for the timeline now. are they just giving me a general line, or has anyone been told the same. i actually expected to be told to just wait another week. but instead,was told they would contact the csc for me, to find my petition! yeah, thought i was on the fast track! we need interview before jan 28th! very important. otherwise waiting would be fine, and no big deal.

I got a response back from NVC. they said they have not recieved my petition. and requested mr to scan, then e-mail them my I-797. And they would contact USCIS, to find it. Thought i was on the fast track at first.
