Thank you for updating us, Blake. Ugh, that sounds unbelievably stressful! Still, only one time you have to go through it all! Good luck! :D

I'm over-emotional, too - I also tear up a little at the idea of us all being reunited with our loved ones. It'll be sooo lovely for Olga if you can fly back with her, Blake!

Also waiting to hear the good news from Courtney. :)

Congratulations! :dance: I am sorry that I did not notice that your interview was so soon else I would've certainly wished you good luck, too (even though you don't appear to have needed it!).

I've been looking at AOS and it looks rather complicated. I would certainly be very grateful if you and everyone else sticks around and gives advice!

I'm not looking at going to CA until October. :wacko: I'm not sure where we'll be marrying exactly - Alex isn't sure where the cabana is - but I shall find out from him. We'll certainly be marrying/living in the Bay Area.

Cez, your medical would be next week. YAY!!! i bet you are a little nervous but I am 101% positive you will be ok, every test will be ok and you will pass and then off to interview :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

i just hope sunny and she's and all others who are still waiting will get their approval soonest.

rachel, time will fly so quickly and before you know it, it will be october and you would be flying to be with alex.

I wanted to have my interview soon and then my visa soon but once i had it in my hand, the fact that i will be leaving my hometown, my country, my family and my friends became more real and it's giving me a bitter sweet anticipation. Sure I want to be with Ricky sooo bad but a part of me is also sad since i will be leaving my family and everything else behind. i want to pull the hours so I could be with Ricky sooner BUT I also want to stretch it longer so I could have more time with friends and family and also enjoy the stuffs that won't be available in N.C. HAYYY, if this ain't LOVE :blush:

I know this feeling dbears, even though I don't have my visa yet.

When I opened packet 4 and read my interview date, everything started to seem very close. In a month I'll have the interview, and in a month and a half I may be in the USA! I want it to be as soon as possible, but I am very thankful that they didn't put my interview earlier, because that way I am still going to have some time to spend with my family and friends. July is going to be the "goodbye" month... Kinda scary!

I know that feeling too!! Time is flying by now, and before I know it I will be with my baby!! :dance:

but it is also breaking my heart that I will be leaving my family and friends for good! I spend 2 years abroad, and didn't have any problem to say good-bye when I left, but this time, it is going to be pretty hard......a lot of mixed feelings!

@Blake: Thx for the update, seems like a lot to keep up with but I'm sure you'll manage :yes:

@Raghu: Congrats!!!

scary and emotional :( ... mixed emotions.

I guess we all have (or get) these emotions.... it's kinda stressy.. at one hand I'm all happy and at one hand I'm all sad coz of my leave :S

And yes, I am also hoping to see everybody back in the AOS forum after! :star:

Would be good if the whole topic gets moved there so we don't have to go to a different place (seeing as almost all of us is going to move irl, it'll be nice to have the same place to stay in online hehe).. this topic feels like home ^^

Welcome back Blake... so happy you finally got to share the wonderful news with Olga. A strong man never afraid to show his emotions... that's the best kind if ya ask me! I've got one of those too! :lol: We'll all be celebrating with you when the day comes that you can bring her home.

Sunny, congratulations on your new job and I hope it follows with even more good news for you very soon.

She's, those touches have got to mean something! Is CSC back to not updating online again? That has to make you nuts. Every walk to the mailbox must be so emotional for your fiance! Cmon CSC!

Big Congrats Raghu!

Gaye, big hugs to you my friend. I really can't imagine what you're going through but think happy thoughts. :) You and your kids are on to a new adventure... the world is not as big as we think!
