Kevin and

Sweet!!! Congratulations!

wasn't it obama calling someone "mcsame" during the elections?

Good Luck!!

I was super disappointed by The Road.

What kind of "incident" would kill all animals and bugs... but not humans?

The one thing I liked about that movie though - the dude with the shotgun was doing just fine!

I wondered where he got his food from. There wasn't much around and he still had his dog and he wasn't a cannibal.

Hello everyone,

About the engagement, she said yes to my proposal, but we haven't had a Dam Hoi yet. So that is what we are planning on doing in May-July. We also are thinking of the option of having Dam Hoi right before wedding in Dec.

So far, from what is being suggested, Dam Hoi has to be before the Marriage Cert. Then after that is the wedding.

I have 3 months available in summer, so we thought of getting Dam Hoi and Marriage Cert done in summer. Then December is reserved for wedding. Would that be ok? Scottythuy asked if it is an option to get Marriage Cert in December. I am wondering if that is absolutely necessary. December is a small window of time for all of that to happen. :-( We are hoping to get the wedding that we dreamed of, and it would take some time to prepare too.

You also need to get documentation approval from the VN Embassy here in the US to marry a VN National.

Other members can guide you who have done this recently. Procedures have changed since I went through it.

Good Luck!

Stay hidden I guess. Shoot them only if they are a threat. After all, we are carrying the light. (10 points for understanding the light reference)

"The Road"

Can I get a cookie too?

It really doesn't. The difference now is that what was once more or less common sense/knowledge has now been replaced by other ways of life. I just started canning. I'm doing jams as my experimental medium, although I'm planning to branch out to fruit and veggie things. I used to grow a lot and it would be nice to do it.

I started canning a couple years ago. Its nice to have "fresh" veggies in the winter. I'm now starting to get into meats. Haven't done any fruits or jams yet.

People who went through the depression understand very well what is needed to survive.

It's time to get rid of the Fed.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s two-year fight to shield crisis-squeezed banks from the stigma of revealing their public loans protected a lender to local governments in Belgium, a Japanese fishing-cooperative financier and a company part-owned by the Central Bank of Libya.

Dexia SA (DEXB), based in Brussels and Paris, borrowed as much as $33.5 billion through its New York branch from the Fed’s “discount window” lending program, according to Fed documents released yesterday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. Dublin-based Depfa Bank Plc, taken over in 2007 by a German real-estate lender later seized by the German government, drew $24.5 billion.

The biggest borrowers from the 97-year-old discount window as the program reached its crisis-era peak were foreign banks, accounting for at least 70 percent of the $110.7 billion borrowed during the week in October 2008 when use of the program surged to a record. The disclosures may stoke a reexamination of the risks posed to U.S. taxpayers by the central bank’s role in global financial markets.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

IBTL

I suspect when he was talking about "finding middle ground".... he wants you to give up some of what you have.... though not as much as he would hope for.

So Charles.... you ready to part w/ that 308?

Middle ground- For every firearm I turn in he has to get one.

Congratulations!!

Thanks for posting the interview questions.

stall tactic for what? when filed my i-129f i didn't know to include the timeline (i just submitted a 2 page letter outlining our relationship). after visiting this board i do have a timeline notarized ready for the day of the interview...hopefully they'll ask for it at the prescreen and not blue slip us during the interview and request for it later.

They might use the extra time to review what they learned during the interview. There are a number of instances where a pink sheet was with the case at the time of the interview and the CO decided to issue a blue sheet after the interview.

Get a dog that might deter would-be robbers.

If you go the camera route, make sure they are hidden.

Hey all,

So my fiance and I found out that his interview is this coming monday. We found out on Tuesday by email. He had his medical exam done today and they said to pick up the packet on Tuesday. He begged and pleaded and they said they would try and he should call tomorrow (friday) and see if it's finished.

If the medical packet is not ready by tomorrow should he still go to his visa interview on monday? or should we reschedule? I was thinking it would be better if he went and they would (hopefully) conditionally approve him until he got the medical packet? or will they immediately turn him away without this?

your advice is greatly appreciated. This has been a really hard couple of days trying to get everything together in record speed!

Go the the interview, if you reschedule for a new interview they may push it out a longer. If he doesn't have the medical at the time, the Consulate will issue a blue sheet requesting it.

Good luck.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!

Thanks for posting the interview details. It is very helpful when members do this. People that haven't interviewed get an idea of what to expect.

Congratulations!!

I could go to the beach, and fill the back of the pickup with kelp. I wonder what the going rate is on fresh seaweed.

IDK, but I saw a couple KI packets going for $200 on-line.

If you have any potassium iodide, the going rate is pretty high. You could make good profit off a $20.00 bottle purchased before the quake.

And yes... buy lots of them!

You'll She'll need them.

Congratulations!

My wife's interview is next month. So, it seems that my Visa journey almost come to an end. For most people, they will stop visiting visajourney.com after their spouses get here. However, I believe in giving back, so I will visit this forum regularly even when my wife get here. Mainly, because I believe in Karma. If you do good, good thing will happen to you. So many people on this forum have helped me and answered my countless questions. So, I feel like it is my duty to do the same to new members for at least one year.

Well, this is my perspective. What are your opinion on this or karma? Why do you keep coming back to Visajourney even when your spouse get here?

I got help from people on VJ, the least I could do is try to help someone else.
