Baris,

You made me cry after reading this.I remember many years ago when I first came to America,I was crying everyday,didn't like it here and wanted to go back to Turkey.Now,this is my home,when I go to Turkey I really miss here.

Would you please give kisses for me to your anneanne and anne for me and tell them there are many of us here Turks and you will not be alone! I still hate to say goodby to anyone and still didn't forget how I left my family the first time! Always in my mind that I am going back one day!

OK ceyhunihal my family they are sad i didnt feel this before.it is realy hard now.i will kiss my grandmother and my mother for u promise .i told them already.i am telling that i am not alone there.i know there it will be my home i am telling them i will call everyday... if i could bring my mom and dad i will bring them to usa.as soon as i go there i will look for how i can bring.so they can visit me when they miss

and thank u so much

Hello my AmeriTurks Family,

I just got back from Turkey yesterday and I have good news (no,I am not pregnant )My husbands INTERWIEV is MAY 2nd.I found out last week and I am soooooooooo happy,after going thru all the drama and it is finally there.His family already sad because now they know he is really going to leave home. that is very normal,I went thru this years ago and I understand how they feel.

Melbar,I do feel for your family,it's very hard for them and also for you! As time goes by,they will and also you will get use to it.I hope you get to like USA,it's nothing like Turkey.Hope you like it and good luck!

Same wishes goes to Kdrj!Good luck to you also.I am happy for Melbar and you!

If everything goes well with my husband's interwiev,we will schedule his flight between May 8-10 can't wait!

Love you all,

Nihal

Baris,

I've seen so many go through the same kind of emotions as you. Some very happy and at the same time, very sad because they are leaving what they have always known. From what I've seen, this is really normal and just know that you and melek will probably return many times over. Good your family is going with you to Istanbul. Have you been there before? I love Taxim Square. LOTS of people there. Food is cok guzel. Grand Bazaar... BIG!

Take it easy and as much time as you can with your family and friends.

Mariye Yenge

mari yenge paste it to kadir

OMG I am in HAPPY TEARS!!!!

I just got to see Kadir on the WEBCAM for the first time in 7.5 mos since he's been on AF base in Iraq!!!! He looks a little bit fuller in the face... all that American food I guess. I just couldn't beleive my eyes... he's so so handsome.

Really missing each other now more than ever. This is very different from the rest of you who get to see your Askim everyday on cam. Military doesn't allow civie contractors for security purposes. OMG I have never been so so grateful for just those few minutes today.

Mariye Yenge

mari yenge i am happy for u. of course my hemsehrim is handsome

ohh thats so expensive i found 1100 usd just 13 hours i think....

i heard some people brought their laptop to usa it would not be a problem in my opinion.

bec when my wife was visiting me she was bringing her laptop

I m also checking the prices of ticket now i and my wife are gonna book it

it is one week after buying ticket anyway it will direct go los angeles california

1500 us dolars u should have to do that anyway it is better to buy no stop.

i know bro about envelope i have to save it thank u for advise for helps...i will bring my computer with me is that will be problem or no? my computer is us computer is that ok?

hello KdRjN and mari i will buy ticket of turkish airlines for the first time it is better i think and my envelope its okey i think they just cutted left side .they realy do not care if its mess up or no? all they want its for u do not see papers inside and dont open it ... if u dont open it then its not problem. but mine is okey i just cover it it is in special bag now...i putted in the safe and locked the safe key is only with me?lol lol

First... Baris, stop badgering Kelly to call the Embassy! For God Sakes, she is an adult and her Kocam is a professional!!!! You don't advise. HE advises as a profession! Why you don't advise your wife to help you find your flights to LA? Do that first, then you can tell us what we need to do for the embassy.

AND, I told you the Embassy didn't have time and didn't want to READ all your 3000 love letters and all that kilos of paper. In fact, you could have saved more trees, more money and more time sending less than 5 of each! Again, you are probably the reason for thoughts of Gov't shutdown! You better not do this here in California... LOL nobody will play with you... like the kid who eat his boogers or something. LMAO

Mariye Yenge

@Nihal: When the heck are you coming back?

@Kelly: Let me know plans and if you need help

hello yenge first i just want to know what is going with their case...if she is calling them or no?if she is caliing them what are they saying to them?... i want them to get their visa i hope that they will get their visa soon...i found ticket tomorrow we will buy ticket for 28 april return 1 september R/T no stop 14 hours 13 minutes we will buy that... and besides if i didnt call them they might didnt give me visa soon like this there people they are waiting for 6 monts its realy bad.i am not going to bother anyone anymore u are right i could have saved money but if i didnt bring all those things they were going to ask for them.i am sure about that. ^Again, you are probably the reason for thoughts of Gov't shutdown!^i am not sure if its me or no?if its me what can i do only sorry. i just wanted to help kelly and her hubby i am sure that they know what are they doing.of course anyone is professional on their behalf.i just didnt see them for along time thats it...i just pray for them i hope that their AP finish soon.tomorrow is friday i will pray for me and all of u here waiting for their visa...i hope that noone missunderstand me

Hi barış,

I cant get days off all the time i cant go back to ankara and come back again..the better way is to send the whole package to them i will also call today bec the officer told me to put passport then another one said you dont need to pur passport in it..I just want to make sure which one is true...

ı will let you know guys whats going on maybe thats might happen one of you so its a good experience which i dont want that will happen to you guys

Ok see you all later ...

baris have nice flight i m in istanbul maybe we can meet

Thank you Mari for ur opinion

hi KdRjN u do what is better for u ok. but i think it is better to send whole thing that they did mail u... and insallah i could see u in istanbul.my family will come istanbul with me my all relatives are living in istanbul...

and mari yenge it is better to get bus to go istanbulmy mom and father dont want to get plane to istanbul...that is good ....me and melek we didnt take bus like that it is reaaly bad to take bus when u do nt get used that

Typically you have a stop over in Europe. I stopped in Frankfurt, Germany.

You won't get a direct flight to LA that I know of (anyone know??)... I think flights are from this west coast (CALIF) to Europe, then to Ist.

Baris, it's cheaper for you to take bus from Adana to Ist, about $50 TL is what we paid. But, it's pickin 15 hours bus ride! You will get to see the country lol ... in the dark cuz they drive mostly through the night and you get there in the morning! Then, get the day in Ist (go around to Taxim or something fun... EAT, because that's the last of Turkish REAL food until you find a Turk Restaurnt here, or Mel knows how to make shop & cook Turkish food authentically!)

Then Fly out of Istanbul (stop in Europe, or see how much it is to fly from IST to NY... then NY to LA.

Ask Nihal, she just came back today and see how she did her flight

Have you wife check Priceline.com for fees and btw, if you bid on those, do not forget to add the airport taxes!!! Those are non-refundable tickets also, so do not blow it and miss your flights. Otherwise, you're stuck where ever terminal you are standing! Big Bummer.

RESEARCH FOR GOD's SAKE BARIS! Where is your wife she is not helping you? LOL ... what, she doesn't want YOU TO LEARN how to do anything either? LOL LOL LOL LOL lol ....

Mariye

hi yenge i am thinking to get one way it is better for the first time... i know how to cook always meat i can not eat anything without that also bread with everything.even with spagetti

Baris, which airlines you taking in and could you let us know where your POE is? (Washington, NY, etc?)

Also, are you going to buy a one way or 2 way faire to save money?

You'll have to let us know how POE goes and how you're adjusting in the States, especially, CALIFORNIA.... lol, some say it's the land of fruits and nuts. LOL Ha ha ha

Mariye Yenge

hi yenge i dont know what to do about that i am just looking for ticket now.its realy expensive one way to go losangeles.but there are tickets are cheap.istanbul to rome ,rome to losangeles

Congrulations!!

SO it was you who keep making the immigration line busy i called to the embassy about my opened yellow package and told them it was already opened when i get it then they told me to send it us to back we will repackage again and send you back so i told them how long it will take they said just for 5 days..

The lady told me that u dont need to put ur passport then when i called the second time the lady told me u have to put ur passport just in case...WTH!! they dont know ? anyways there is no any chance for now i have to send the whole package with my passport and to wait them to send it to me back

I hope everything will be smooth...I hope this time they will be careful

HELLO KdRjN sorry about that i dont think that it will take monts its not your fault dont worry about that if i were on u i would go there before u go u call them go and come back the same day i dont know its up to u anyway..
