We got our Packet 3 on Jul 2nd while Mary was here visiting me. We had someone send it here but Canada Post only just delivered it to me on Saturday a full 15 days after they promised that they were going to deliver it. Of course by then she had gone back. As soon as she got back she emailed the consulate and told them it was lost and they sent her a new one. The new one arrived on 7/23 and we turned it around next day, 7/24 got sent via Priority Courier to Montreal and they got it on 7/25 and it was signed. Now the wait begins for Packet 4. On average its around 30-40 days to packet 4 and another 30-40 days till the interview after that.

So our own stupidity pushed it out 2-4 weeks. If we had sent it back when it showed up then we might have an interview end of Aug - now it will probably be end of September - of course since we had no idea when it was coming - how do you decide on travel and stuff when everything is so up in the air.

We are shooting to marry mid November in Vegas - 3 years to the day we met over the net. I can feel it getting closer - pretty exciting! Depending on what a jerk my ex will be my kids may not be able to come to Vegas for the ceremony so we may have to get married here first. I don't care. I'll marry her a hundred times over. We are planning ceremonies here, in Vegas, Canada, Greece and Japan. Since i used up all my vacation time this year traveling back to see her during the "restriction" period, we probably won't be heading to Hawaii on honeymoon till next year..

Everything just seems to take forever. People see you and they say - aren't you guys married yet - or why don't you just go get married and move. No one understands all the suffering we have to go through.....

[Levi_Heather 0]

All the waiting really is tough! Its hard for people who don't understand this process to really get that you can't just get married and move here or there..... We'll have the civil ceremony as soon as we're back in Missouri then the wedding down the road a bit. That's when his family and friends will come down

OH! Congrats on the NOA2 also Chantal

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

Andddddd we got an RFE.....OY VEY hahahaha! I am just giddy our case is being fondled though let me tell you! Gareth assured me this is a GOOD thing and hopefully we will finally get our approval now once we get this sorted!!!! I am just beyond irritated they waited 193 days to give us one of these! LOL.....can I call right today then to find out what it was you think that is needed?

Thanks again for all your continued support!

This is really good news, like you said, you might get your approval once it is sorted out.. and at least you know they're really handling your petition now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

Thanks Don!

Ok yeah can we do an update here who all has their packet 3's currently? Who has interviews coming up? Who has wedding dates set? Etc....We really need to think about branching out somewhere that we can keep up with all this easier haha!

Where's Blake when you need him? We should get him to make a few more lists hehe

Anyways, already had my medical with good result and I got my interview scheduled on August 12, so 13.5 days left for me until judgement day.. can't wait till that part is over...

The idea for us is to fly to Hawaii on October 2nd but I dare not to buy a ticket just yet, mostly because there is still that small chance that they wont approve us If I didn't had those stupid things from my past, I wouldn't have thought twice and bought it right away since I like to be able to get a nice seat up front, it looks like I am going to wait and hope for a good seating now (and prob is, seats are filling pretty quickly atm).

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

Darn, just did some reading on 'moral turpitude' on wikipedia and if its true what they say there, then the thing I did was also moral turpitude.. that would mean I would have had to say 'yes' on the question on the i94 when i entered the states before, and I said no coz I didn't think it would be moral turpitude...

So basically, besides having a big chance of being denied on my visa, I might actually be able to get a ban on my *ss even though I did not know this would fall under moral turpitude

I'm so scared right now

Try not to worry too much Jeroen... Just wait to see if you have any problems at the interview and take it from there.

Jeroen do you mind telling me what it is you did? You can private message it to me if you like....I am just hoping and praying Gareth being turned away in Detroit doesn't hurt us down the road as well they told him it wouldn't! But who knows ya know???

[MissYoko 4]

Morning all!!!

I got a question for you.

What type of birth certificate you got? Normal one or international one?

You know, I can't think of anything more soul destroying than spending God knows what on a plane ticket, enduring the 8-hour flight, and then being turned straight around, and put on the first plane back from whence you came. Utter, utter nightmare. This is why I only spend a week or two maximum during my stateside visits, and make absolutely sure that each visit is seperated by at the very least, 3 months.

No way is that #### ever happening to me!

Yes to Packet 3. Interview - 14th August. Wedding - 27th December. Probably not entering the States until November/early December now.

Morning all!!!

Normal one! Mind you it's in English anyway, of course.

I completely agree. I am so sorry for everyone this has happened to.

WELL all I can say is I will be praying extra hard for you both during this interview! It is obvious from what I read about you both ..you love each other deeply. Past is past and I do pray the government does say HERE YOU GO...VISA TIME!

I do not know what you did nor do I care..I just want all of us to get our sweeties home so we can end this part of the journey and start a whole new one together PHYSICALLY!

God bless you and all of you here on visajourney...may we get our prayers answered..swiftly
