APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[Susita 175]

OK so here it goes

Everything went well, the visa was approved! We´re just waiting for it to come DHL.

The problem is that it might not come before I leave. We´ll have to see what happens b-c we wanted to leave together.

We had an interview in a little room and it was very easy they asked us questions and we answered them. Then they asked me to leave and asked Luis a couple of questions.

Everything good, I´m so happy.

I´m on somebody else´s computer so I can´t stay long, but I promise I´ll give details later on!

Thanks for all of your help guys!

and Congratulations!!!!

First off, congratulations to everybody, and sorry for the delay! Michael got here safely on Saturday afternoon, and later today we're leaving for Naples. Medical will be tomorrow morning, and interview on Wednesday at 10 - though it may be that I'll have both tomorrow, as it seems to be happening quite often. In any case, we're going to spend three days there, enjoying the local pizza and delicious pastries. This morning, as a sort of good wish, I made pancakes for breakfast, so Michael will be able to tell the CO that I can even cook American specialities! I'll report back on Thursday, when we finally get home - hopefully with visa in hand.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - I GOT MY VISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally wasnt expecting it today- the couriers said they warn me the day before they delivered....and I walked into work...and it was THERE....the guy didnt follow the protocol of asking for ID ect cos he'd been to my work before to pick up my passport so he knew I worked there, so just left it with a co- worker!!!!!!!!!!!! Total shock!!!!!!!!!! Well, co-worker knows know but shes a gem and wont tell the boss until i give my notice which will be at the beginning of Nov,as Im only at the end of Nov. OMG OMG OMG :dance: lol, its REAL, its in my hand...all that waiting and I actually HAVE it...almost a let down hehe....They should have fireworks that come with the pack just to make it more of an event....

Now the terrifying reality of leaving my life, job, country for a distant land can REALLY being oh, and I can open that celebratory bottle of wine I've had saved up for about 3 months!!!!!!!!!!

Stephanie, the approved petition is valid for 4 months... so 4 months from NOA2 date. Consulates will routinely extend this period without much hassle or any paperwork on your part but usually due to their not being able to interview in that time frame. If you're going to go beyond the 4 months until his interview you will most likely need to file for an extension with the Consulate. Good luck.

Suzy, congrats hon!! I hope the visa is there in time for you to travel together. Did ya get that boy some thermals????

Good luck today Dale.

Raff, be thinking of you. Keep us posted!

Congratulations mama Nich and errr papa Nick! I hope you posted more about in the March thread!

Awww Gaura, Conrats to you as well. What a good feeling, eh?

Well we're still living in bliss and still feeling as though we were never apart. Weird, that is. We're very busy trying to get our yard/gardens ready for our ceremony. You know, the one that was suppose to be just a few people? Well it's turned into quite the event but i'm not stressing about it one bit! We're getting AOS paperwork ready this week as well.

Hope everyone else is well.

quick question for all off you who have done ur flight to the US- VJ.com recommends having a layover of 3-4 hours 'just in case' - ie if the immigration people take forever to proess you. I will be catching my connecting flight in Atlanta, and I have two options- a flight with a 2.40hr stopover, or a 4.25 hour stopover- which do you think is the better choice??? I've read info on the Atlanta POE and some people have gone through in 10 minutes, others have had to wait around for hours and missed their flights!!!
