I think I just strayed into Brobdingnag

*exits hurriedly*

*Looks confused*

hahahhaa

*Continues to look confused*

Something to do with Gulliver's Travels, I think. But not sure of the relevance in this case.

Brobdingnag was the giants' city (in, yes, Gulliver's Travels )

Juelz's post directly above mine was in giant writing

I felt dwarfed


Google is your friend

My text wasn't quite that giant!

Exaggerator!!

it was bloody enormous and you know it

and it shocked me; I'm used to your sedate little lists

hmmmm.....I only ever quote myself and then make a few adjustments to the list, so it looks the same to me as it always does

really? you're kidding

here's how it looked - and still looks - to me:

Oh wow! It didn't look like that on my screen!!

It did on mine. It was HUGE!

OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!1!!1!!!!!!???????



That is hilarious! It just looks the same as it ever does for me!

It didnt look like that to me either. lol

that's hilarious

I wonder what can be causing the differences? browser issues? I'm on Firefox...

I'm using Firefox too.

Aaah that could be it then... Im using IE

Still weird though

I just looked at this thread using IE and it all looks perfectly normal.

it's all my fault I wanted a REALLY big APPROVED, somehow I magicked the interview list with my greedy wishes

Could be im on IE7, lol

Poiteen

APPROVED



Okay?

You can read VJ and empathise will all those suffering and complaining about the USCIS.

You know it does no good, doesn't change a thing and that patience is required as it all comes out right in the end. But we were all the same it is the waiting not knowing what is going on which gets you.

What you miss is not having something to wonder what is happening to and complain about. Still there is for some still AOS and citizenship to renew the challengers of and battle with the USCIS system.






somehow missed that bit of news. Well done

LOL

I AM SOOOOO ANNOYED!! The flight we saw FORTY-EIGHT hours ago has gone because my lame-o OH didn't want to book it Monday. Now his flight has gone from $700 to $1250. I. Am. So. Pissed.



Yeah - I use Firefox too and it was ginormous... never used to be though so...

Jeraly, last time i flew to the states I booked it two days before for £320 return.

Oh I know I can get them cheap but I have to take into consideration my cat... plus I don't think my nerves could hold out waiting two days before I flew...

Okies np thought id let you know

awww shucks thanks. Still getting over the non-event that it was.



Thanks Lansbury, still haven't got the thing in my hand yet, but I'm going to send it off with SMS tomorrow

I've been meaning to post my interview and medical review but I'm lazy what are you gonna do

I just think it's funny cos I think I mighta been a little blase about the interview. When they were asking me questions I did answer but didn't really elaborate very much. When the CO starting asking me about my OH's taxes. I didn't want to have to do them (yes, I knew I would end up dealing with them) so I was saying - no I don't think he'll have to file, he didn't earn that much, and anyway he gets a two month extension cos he's resident in the UK. I was being very resistant to the idea of filing them. The CO asked 'well when did he start work' I was ummming and ahhhing, and saying "ummm September? I dunno, I'm really bad at remembering stuff like that, it's all on the form, look at the form". He really reluctantly did, and confirmed I was correct.

I'm such a dumbass, as soon as I got outside the embassy I was berating myself and thinking 'wait, give me another go, I can do better' Of course he had already decided the taxes needed to be filed, he was just checking I knew what was on the forms!

When I thought back on it, I think I was actually just really nervous, and trying to convince myself I wasn't and ended up on some kind of rabbit-in-headlights-autopilot. I can't even remember most of the interview. I was so eager to finish it the guy didn't even tell me about the MBE, and I couldn't figure out if I'd paid for the courier or not .


So yeah, the interview is easy, but my advice is still remember what's at stake. I can't believe I acted that way

I GOT THE TEXT!!!! WOO HOOOO!!!

Now fingers crossed it will actually turn up tomorrow like they say

Yay for you Jeraly!!! They're picking mine up tomorrow. I'm actually getting excited now!!!

I am soo excited too! I had a little tear on the way home though - it's all so real and I am going to miss being here - I just can't wait until I am all settled now though - it will be nice to live my life in some semblance of normality for once!!

My interview is on the 22nd of April in London and i'm freaking out already. I'm scared so much that i can hardly sleep or think about anything other than getting that bloody visa.

There's really nothing to worry about, the interview is somewhat of an anti-climax!

Just relax, you'll be fine.

Gillian

Thanks for support. I went through papers tons of times and we should be fine, there's just always that "what if..." thought.....

Most of our paperwork is ready just dealing with his doctor's office. they are being insane on providing him a letter for his shots etc. the cost about made me fall over!!!

Good luck with your interview

what letter do you need? they should provide you with a record, and it should be free; they use these little booklets in my borough

yup, I have a booklet too, and my practice nurse faxed them about the shots I had just after the medical. No charge for that either
