Our K1 interview experience

[weedebz 0]

When was the last time you or jeremy called? Maybe it's time for another.

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Yeah you are patient but we also know you fight monsters and play Moxie´s game so we see right through you

*huuuuuuuuuuuuuugs*

Thx Prettest To be honest the last couple of days have been a bit stressful (not enough food or sleep) so now I am just sitting here eating different things and relaxing and feeling the redness coming in my cheeks lol

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - I can't remember when he last called... I think I just feel fed up so I'm not really much fun to be around - all I want to do is hang out here and refresh that stupid page! The only way I can get around it is by going out...

Oh well - he is meant to be around this evening and he is coming over next Tuesday so we will be together soon That should cheer me up

*beats off a couple of zombies for Marta's enjoyment*

[StillThePrettiest 3]

Jeraly, sweetie, there's a lot more to being patient than someone simply saying, over and over, that they are

I know you must be grumpy as well, from time to time, but you are doing INCREDIBLY well with a situation that's high-stress and high-anxiety, no less because you made plans in completely good faith that are now tricky to work out

you will be fine... you know it will all come good in the end, one way or another... and you've made alternative plans and are keeping on smiling in here, and you have my utmost admiration

*more hugs*

[Jeraly 4]

See - now *that* is what brings me to tears!! When I feel like I am being a real grump about everything and I know there are people in much worse scenarios than me and all my problem is that I can't get the stupid website to update by incessantly refreshing it Now this stupid moisturiser I put on my face this morning is running into my eyes and making them sting!!

I know it'll all work out in the end - it's just hard seeing everyone else moving forward and trying to get excited for them when I was really hoping I would be approved as well by now even if that does sound selfish...

Ok - rant over - not about to get myself into a depression about something so stupid. Going to sit here and cheer myself up with you guys and look for nice beads and things to make the jewellery for my bridesmaids

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I know how hard it is... for the last week or so before I got my NOA2, I was really starting to find it difficult... and each time I ticked off ANOTHER July 19 NOA1, even though I knew it didn't work that way, I felt left behind and depressed and annoyed and panicky

and that state of affairs has gone on longer for you than it has for me, so I can only imagine how you're feeling

but hang in... I had NO IDEA on Thursday morning that anything was happening, and by Friday morning had the NOA2 notification; I'm betting it will happen that fast for you, and then everything will look very different

and I DEFINITELY want to see that jewellery

[Jeraly 4]

Oh I know that when things happen they will happen fast - I just wish I could see some movement... I think that is the annoying thing - Debz said in an e-mail earlier that it would be better if USCIS could keep us more updated but then they would spend as much time doing that as approving people so I guess from that perspective I'd prefer to not know...

But I think that is the hard part - I know that I am not in the same place I was when I filed because other people have been approved so I must be getting closer - it's just the not knowing that is making things hard - seeing the same date makes you feel like you aren't getting any closer even if you are

I think this will take you to the bracelet I made for me... I need to make some changes on it though and I want to make necklaces and earrings too

Congratulations Marta on your successful interview!

Good luck !

[StillThePrettiest 3]

oh, they're absolutely gorgeous! you're so clever

[Jeraly 4]

I want to try and set up a business over in the US making bespoke jewellery for weddings - I want to branch out more into hair pieces and tiaras and things and I want to try different designs other than charm bracelets - they were just an idea to try and make a bit of money for when Jeremy was over last summer - we've made a small profit and I think with a bit of time and dedication I can get something going

Partly don't see the point in setting something up over here though and part of me can't be bothered to do anything because my whole life is going to turn upside-down! That and the fact that I have life-apathy right now from my lack of NOA2!!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

oh, it will be a FABULOUS project for when you first get over there and can't work; you can spend time making things and amping up your website and ordering process and so on so that when you're allowed to, you're off and racing

I have my own small business too... I make and sell postcards of my local area here in London

there are about eight shops that sell them, and I've sold just under three thousand... I'm in profit too, but not by much; it's just a hobby, and a way to indulge my love of photography

[Jeraly 4]

I think that's it - it is something I love doing and I have a business plan in my head - I will start off small and try and build it up and if nothing else it is a nice hobby I have high hopes though but only cause I am such a perfectionist

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I know what you mean

I want to bring my 'business' with me too, but it's sorta hard, as it's so very localised...

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Pretty bracelets Jeraly

Congratulations Marta on your successful interview!

Good luck !

Good luck to you too I see your interview is getting very close too

[Jeraly 4]

ty

I'm sure you could - I am sure you would sell photos of London very easily in the US

Ok - my cat just scared the life out of me diving into a box!!!
