All our paperwork is ready , we did the filing on line barcode etc.

I read that you have to bring that form DS 156 with you, but I guess we have to send that in also , do we send this with the total package and a check for fees, or does that has to been done seperately.

please urgent

take photo copies fo the forms before you send them off - then if you have to take new ones with you then you can copy info direct and make sure the answers tally.

Don't forget the bottle of booze to keep spirits up in the meantime and the pair of dice to get things rolling.:):):):):):):)

We have copies of everything , which you have to bring with you anyway, not that they look at it. The only thing I have to get pics done today AFTER I die my hair, I look like someone from a trailer park right now.
So everything will go out per FedEx tomorrow , another 5 lbs of paperwork.

If you've got all your ducks in a row, then you should be OK.
Just remember there is no point in stressing over things you have no control over.:D:D:D:D:D

It is the alcohol that keeps us all sane, can relate to the raw nerves over the last 2 years, we have felt the same, we are still waiting for an acknowledgement from the Embassy...hoping we may receive an email this week offering an interview date [renewal will have been with then 2 weeks come this Wed...not that I am counting!!!!]:(

Wishing both Bizboots and Twen the very best of luck with their renewals. I'm sure we are all keeping our fingers crossed - and we can have a drink for them when they get them.

Love Anniexxx

Hi Wendy,
On talking to a few of my E-2 friends - none of them received a confirmation from the embassy that they had received their cases either...all they had was the FedEx confirmation it was delivered. First they heard was an invitation to book an interview....which came 4 weeks after it was sent in....I know its nerve wrecking, but hang on in there. Incidentally - all 3 that I spoke to were processed this year - and all 3 got renewals (2 x 5 years, 1 x 3 years). Wishing you all the best.

Following our call you could book info pass or call the USCIS directly, but when you get through insist you need to speak with an immigration officer
