That's what scared me. I got everything ready in Germany but we actually only had time to go over it together once since his internet wasnt working properly. So I just hope hope hope that everything is fine...but I am trying to think positive. How long do y'all think the process will take? I always heard about 12 months but have seen some people being done faster than that!

No prob. This one is fine :-)

@Caro: You just needed to send I-130, 2x G325A; Marriage Certificate,his birth certificate, 2 pictures, and proof of bonafide marriage (if he is USC from birth and both have never been married). Look into the guides. You can also send me a personal message if you want to.

Heya January Filers!

My husband is also going to be sending our I-130 next week, so hopefully we too will be among the january filers. It has been a difficult path for us to be so apart, but doing things this way has made us so much more stronger than we could have been if we were just both americans. Does anyone else feel the same way? Im sure you all do; I feel like if we can get through this visa process we can almost get through anything else that comes our way.

Married: 12/18/08

Sent I-130: 01/30/10

NOA1: 02/05/10

Touch: 02/09/10

NOA2: 03/24/10
