Whoo, I now officially have the visa in hand! (and the brown envelope of course) Have just double checked names and #s after the stories I've read on here (including stidholder's recent embassy review saying they got someone else's K1?!) Anyway, it all looks fine, looking forward to booking my flights now.

Laura819 - I'll be doing AOS in Sept if everything goes to plan.

Congrats Moira, hope you receive yours now just as speedily!

Less than five days ... how GOOD does that sound? I'm so happy for you Magpie!!!

H&V ... I hope I get the mysterious brown packet soon too!! I'm curious to see what my visa looks like!!!

Where are you flying into and have you found any reasonably priced flights? I actually thought that one way tickets would be cheaper ... duh ... I've been pricing return flights which are half the price!

Steve and I should be getting married at the beginning of July if all goes well, so AOS soon after that ....

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Where are you flying into and have you found any reasonably priced flights? I actually thought that one way tickets would be cheaper ... duh ... I've been pricing return flights which are half the price!

Flying into Dulles, and actually I have found one-way flights with one stop are cheaper than direct returns (which, yes, are cheaper than direct one-way). The stopover would be in Dublin (the immigration might be there - although possibly not for Aer Lingus flights to Dulles!) so I am trying to decide.....

Congrats on the medical Ellie and David!

Magpie - you'll have to let me know if Thorpe Park is any good - I might be going there myself Monday!
