Hey guys,

In 3 hours and counting, my husband will be at the embassy trying to get his interview over and done with. I would highly appreciate any good thoughts, karma, vibes, and prayers that you may have to send our way. I am pretty nervous and trying not to be too happy or too sad....expecting the worst and hoping for the best, so to speak....

I talked to another immigration attorney today, who is one of my best friend's friends and did her own case with her hubby and she has reassured me that things are fine for me. My hubby has printed out over 100+ pages of proof, from my plane tickets/itineraries/ticket stubs, mutual bus tickets of ours from this past spring, emails, a few chat logs, some affidavits, some copies of essential documents that we already sent, a letter from me about my crappy T-mobile situation and how that is why I don't have any phone records from 2006-2008, pictures (he said 97 of them), etc.

My main worry, after talking to this immigration attorney, is that hubby doesn't have any certified copies of our marriage certificate....I did email him the scanned copy of the translated and notarized copy that I have, but since I gave everything to NVC and USCIS already, I am hoping that they won't give him any ####### for this? That hypothetically, they'd have everything with them already?

Argh...am I just psyching myself out too much?

I feel that we've done all we can at this point, the rest is up to the interviewer and God, I suppose.

Thanks....

Enraptured :(

Good luck to your hubby! I hope everything goes well!!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Don't sweat any original documents submitted at NVC timetick -

He'll get the marriage cert back after the interview.

For Good Karma - please wear a pink bodysuit? (Pink is colour of approval, at least at GUZ ) .

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

thanks guys (F)(F) i don't think i'll be sleeping at all tonight and will probably lurk around, so will give a live update hahaha...how lame ;)

but, seriously, does anyone think that the fact that my husband doesn't have anything in regards to our marriage paperwork might pose an issue? i would have had to appoint someone in turkey power of attorney to go to the city hall where we married and get our marriage certificate, and that was a headache that i couldn't get through quickly enough....arghh...

i probably will need to do this anyways, in case we lose our main marriage certificate book, but i'd like to do that when i have the time and leisure to do so...

alright, im gonna stuff my face with chocolate and wait :D

Good luck! I hope everything goes well.

It sounds like ya'll have a lot of evidence, so that is really good. Don't stress about the certificate. I sent all the originals to the NVC center too. The embassy had the documents. It'll be fine. Worse case would be him having to get another one from the court; which he probably won't have to do...so, don't worry.

Hopefully you won't have to wait long for the good news. :-)

Waiting.....Waiting....waiting....waiting....and more waiting..........

Enraptured :(

No, if they already have this it is not necessary. I would not worry about this, it seems like you have enough evidence to document your relationship. I am sure you will be hearing about his approval soon. All the best, and I am confident it will be a success :).

thanks to all of you who have responded :)(F)

i don't know where i would have been if it wasn't for this site's great tips and kind posters like you all (F) i know we are all in the same boat, but i do appreciate your presence...it's helped put a lot of things in perspective, and in some sad way, helps me feel a bit better knowing there are other people out there who know what i'm going through. most people in my life cannot fathom the nightmare this process is....

hoping to share good news soon (F)
