Jeraly, your butterfly has almost reached the end :D:dance:

OMG yeah I know - less than five weeks now!! I am sooo nervous but the apartment is looking good... I am sooo hoping we get it!!!

AND I just found out that the street fair they have on Main Street Palm Springs every Thursday allows vendors to market their own products - so I might be able to make a go of my jewellery business through that - it's a start at least!! I am sooooooo excited about that!!

OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?!? So are you going to change your tickets again?! I mean - it seems a long time to wait until September if your interview is May now!! Great news though!! You must be totally made up!!

Okay so the interview is over!!!!!

Questions were simple enough:

How did you meet?

Who long have you known him?

When did you last see each other?

And a bit of chat about when she quit working...

She was nervous as hell and doesn't speak much English (Thai) so she basically forgot every date. Some of the people being interviewed b/4 her got someone who spoke Thai but the person interviewing her didn't and she didn't ask for someone to translate she just suffered through.

Now we are both on pins and needles until 3pm tomorrow when she can go back to the Embassy and pick up her passport WITH THE VISA IN IT!!!!!

Okay now that this step is over I need to try to explain why it's better to wait until I come over Aug-30 and we come back as planned on Sept-21 because of the advance parole deal. It's not the money or anything it's the processing time and the "risk" of not being allowed back in.

Oh my Buddha... now I need to try and explain the rest of this whole process (work permit, SSN, AOS etc...).

3/30/08 --- I e-mail the Embassy asking to make the date earlier because I've already got our tickets for June 13th!!!

5/6/08 --- No help from the Embassy. Rebooked tickets and vacation till September.

5/21/08 --- Embassy calls her and moves interview to May 27th!!!!! You have got to be kidding me!!!
