To all: Thank you for your encouragement and your help while my wife and I went through the procedures to get our K-3 Visa. She had her appointment yesterday and she goes back to the embassy on Friday to pick the visa and her passport up. It was a simple process, they asked some questions and looked at the photographs and the guy told her "Good luck in America". A lot of stress is off our shoulders and we are happy that this is almost over. She has to turn her job over and on the 7th of July she flies to meet me in New York.

CONGRATULATIONS! ;)

My husband also went through the Nairobi Embassy to get his visa. My husband said that he also had a good experience at the embassy with his interviewer, who was polite and friendly. Perhaps your wife has been interviewed by the same gentleman?

Sometimes I think I know everything, and I regain consciousness. Seen it all, done it all, forgot most of it....

So much plenitude, yet so much emptiness
