C & J

I hope you will get a warm welcome in US by going to the south or any hot part of US, because let me tell you it is freaking cold in here :wacko: , better be ready.

Where abouts are you? I'll be heading to Iowa, which is currently 29F (or -1.5C to me). It was down to -13C at one point in the last week or so and I have no idea how I'll cope with that :help: England is fairly mild and doesn't have huge changes in temperature so both the hot weather and cold weather will be a lot more extreme than I am used to.

I've pretty much managed to avoid both extremes until now (visiting only in February/March and September/October) but last September I felt like I was melting when we were out and about for my brother-in-laws wedding. I think this coming summer/winter will be quite a trial for me. Josh'll need to be there with the ice cold drinks or cocoa ;)

Welcome to the mid-west. I am very close to Iowa and work - plus attend college in the Quad Cities. Be happy you missed last night and today because the temperarure was -9 F and a windchill of -20.

Congrats to pkewl and G&A!!

They're CRAZY! If they only knew how much they turned our lives upside down because of telling me it's going to be terminated.. they even told my senators that! I just sent the $400 IV Bill last week *kicks self* That's ok... my hunny will be home THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't go to Lagos yet, we canceled the trip thinking we should try to divide the time apart up a lil more so I was planning to go for our anniversary/the baby's bday in May. Now it looks like I might be going in May for the INTERVIEW!! (I hope).

He sent me all the ####### he needs to take the embassy because the nvc wanted it.. police reports, original birth certificate etc. Now I get to carry it all back and hand deliver it to him!

I'm so excited. I have to tell u how it went down..

After hearing about DaveJaz getting the approval, I had a hint of hope again so I called them last week and they said I'm not yet outside the processing times because the processing times changed (of course) so I would be outside the times on Jan 21 (a holiday). So I called on Jan 22 and was told I'm not outside the processing times because I don't have a pending I130 and there ARE NO processing times for the I129F for a spouse. So I said to the guy, "be honest with me, this could go on forever right? I mean my petition could be 'on a shelf' a decade from now.. I could be 100 before it's looked at" the guy said, "actually that's very possible"

I said SCREW THIS I'm sticking with the CR1 and giving up all hope on this K3.

The very next day the I got a touch on the I129F and I thought maybe the call generated it although that's never happened to me before and I didn't call using the RFE trick. I don't even know why I checked it, habit I guess.

Last night the email arrived YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED

I SCREAMED OMG OMG OMG. I cried like a baby. No one could understand why I was crying so much because I'm happy. It was such a relief. After all this pressure and heartache FINALLY DONE! Thanks be to GOD!
