I gave Alyona a kiss on USA soil last night, all went well threw JFK and she also received her EAD stamp , she did not have to ask.

At last the wait is over (very big big big sigh of relief).

Gaura, it's so hard to know how many other flights will be coming in that will need proccessing. I'd opt for the 2+ hour wait only because i'm impatient. Russell had only a couple of hours at LAX before his connecting flight to Boston and what held him up was that he was still on the watch list from being denied entry. Ended up making the flight... just.

Congratulations Dale and Alyona! Very happy for you.

Well we sold our souls to my aunts jewelery store this morning and my family has taken over preparations for our ceremony next week so all is well. Now.... what to wear????

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!!!

Gaura mate, take the 4.25 option - if the price of that little extra peace of mind is 2 hours, then it's a bargain. I always look for the longer connection times whenever I go over there, if for no other reason than international airports are great fun, and it gives you longer to get pi$$ed in the wide selection of bars.

lol, thanks for the advise!! I have booked the 'peace of mind' flight, (even though, like Kim, Im soo impatient but yeah, I decided I can wait another 2 hours to see him after 3 months!! ) That will give immigration all the time in the world to deal with all the cocaine smugglers and deportations they need to (would be kinda cool to see them deport a cocaine smuggler!) However, I betcha I'll be out in record time, probably 15 minutes- and then have to bum around the airport trying on every perfume, sampling makeup and drinking too much in airport bars so that by the time I meet my fiance again I'll look and smell like a bargain priced 'lady of the night'

Only 48 days to left of this life ahh...then I'll be in a whole new world! Kinda scary!!!!! I cant even drive and Im moving to America lol!! Soo much to do including memorizing road rules!

Driving was one of the big things I was worried about as well (wrong side of the road and all that) but I had it nailed in a couple of days. And if you haven't driven on UK roads, and your first experience of driving is gonna be over there, then you'll take to it naturally.

As as for being a "lady of the night" nah, that happens in Prague airport!

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!!!!

SUZYY!!! AWWW... there is a problem about DHL delivery here.. DONT wait DHL to deliver Luis' passport..

they dont deliver passports in this case and they dont even notify u. Go pick up the passport right noww//!!! DO0NT WAIT ANYMORE!

Congratulations Kristen!

We applied for our marriage license this morning... should have it on Monday.

We applied for our marriage license this morning... should have it on Monday.

I took ours in on Monday to have the marriage recorded with the county and got a certified copy to send in with AOS. It only took a few minutes. I love the face-to-face handling of things rather than mailing and waiting. Yes, another impatient one here.

It's nice reading all the good news in this thread. Keep it coming.

Ha, my love's never driven either. I wouldn't worry too much - the rules aren't so hard here, which may actually be the reason for the REAL problem: the drivers. I don't even live in a huge urban centre and I can't tell you how many unbelievable idiots there are out on the road - kids flying around in the sports car Daddy bought him, soccer moms yammering away on their cell phones in huge SUVs, you name it.

Although I don't agree with it being government regulated in theory, I can see WHY insurance is a requirement to drive now.
