Arrived

By Victoria

Just a quick update -- USPS tracking confirms that our petition package arrived at the USCIS Dallas lockbox facility (fancy name for a P.O. Box) on Saturday morning (5/10)!

I don't think I will hear anything from USCIS to confirm receipt, so I'll have to wait until they actually review the contents and make a decision before I receive a notification.

By the way, I'm sure you've noticed that these blog posts have been written almost entirely by me so far...that will change once the visa application gets forwarded to the U.S. Consulate in Belfast, at which point all the hard work has to be done by Colin for his interview(s) and further evidence submission. You'll be hearing more from him on that side of the process once we get there.

UPDATE:
They actually did sent me a confirmation of receipt. Since I submitted form G-1145 for electronic notification, I got both a text message and an email saying that the Dallas center officially received our packet on May 15. I also received a letter of confirmation stating the same thing a few days later via snail mail. And here I thought the electronic notification option was meant to save paper...
