Congratulations to Shauna and Darlene!! And I'm sure Trini too!! Darlene thanks for posting the experience...I wonder why they made you go out and then called u back? Is this something that happens all of the time?? I am calling the Embassy TOMORROW to make sure they have given us a date...I thought I read somewhere up here that they are moving the Embassy---does anyone know how that will be affecting those that are supposed to have interviews in December? For those that just went down there, did you notice anything different? Did it look like they were moving?

Shauna said that they are doing that now...interviewing them and the USC separately!! Although in our case, they never even interviewed Craig.

CONGRATS Stephen !! Safe travels back...

Hey Everyone,

Well, I just heard from Shauna....they were approved, but...... pending she get a co-sponsor. They would NOT accept the fact that she is making well over proverty level for 2006 and 2004. They ONLY wanted to see that she made over in 2005....even with the tons of documentation that she provided. So I guess you could go in not having a job this year, but prove that you had one last year????

Needleestosay, they are both entirely upset, although there is some good news ....her parents told her that they will now be her co-sponsor. This process will take approximately 2-2 1/2 weeks....

She says thank everyone for all of the well wishes!!

They are going to the pool and drinking !!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Shauna....just a small setback. You have wonderful parents :thumbs:

Everytime we buy something that requires assemby, he doesn't even look at the instructions, he lays out all the pieces, looks at them carefully and then figures out what goes where.

:yes: Tony does this too! I'll be sitting there reading the instructions and I look up and he's already on step #5 and I'm still reading step #1 :lol:

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2
