Thanks Andie, how are you and Kevin doing, got your new petition in? Yes this concussion was scary cause until yesterday she was hesitant to walk around for getting dizzy and all, but she felt ok with it while walking with the dog in the mornings and evenings when it was cool outside.

Hi Looky, no.. not yet :(

He has all sorts of complications at the moment, it is almost ready.

I hope Loreta is continuing to do well.

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number
Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .

Hi Andie oh thats too bad, I hope he can get to it soon for your sake cause I can imagine all this being quite frustrating.

Yes Loreta's doing much better. The dizziness is just about gone and the pain from her cracked rib seems to be gone. Oh and I talked to her to see if she has any records from the hospital and actually she does have a receipt for the 5 extra nights that she stayed in the hospital.

I'm about to write my email to the embassy. I'll write first of all that Loreta's answer was that she only wants to immigrate to the US to be with me and to marry me. Then I'll explain that we have known each other for almost 9 and a half years. We have gone through up and down periods, especially around 3 years ago where we quit communicating for almost 6 months but then her attitude completely changed toward me and she appreciates me more than ever and so for the last 2 years there has not been absolutely any question whether she wants to come to the US and marry me.

I think that should be good enough to take that question out of her mind? Good enough Andie?

Hi Looky, yes I think so... it's a very honest approach and the fact that you have known each other so long shows you are committed to each other. Also the fact that you have had your ups and downs shows that you are realistic in your expectations and even more sure about your future. Go for it !! :yes:

Thanks Andie ;) , I forgot I'm also going to add that I am 49 and she is 36 now so we've matured quite a bit since we first met.

Thanks Andie,they gave me the interview date this morning, I sent the email and this morning I called. I pretty much got the interview email right after I talked to her.

Its December 2nd pretty much what I was shooting for. Now just to get Loreta feeling better, her dizziness was a little more than normal today.

OOOHHHH Halloween!!!!! It's my favourite holiday! I WISH I would be with Stuart for it, but we won't be together yet, so I have to wait until next year.

Question is, for those of you who are new to Halloween and will be in the US for it this year, do you plan to celebrate it? If so, what are you dressing up as?

(I will celebrate it here, and always dress up, I am not 100% sold on what I'm gonna be yet though)

Today we are getting social security cards and more shots. We have the shot records from the UK and the list of what the medical inspector told us, so we ought to be fine. Once we get the shots then we search for a civil surgeon to transcribe the data to the right paper for AOS.

I wish we had insurance already. The kids! Oh my they are 5 and 6 and in the 2 weeks they have been here we already had a nasty fall (no broken bones but lots of scuffs), a dump on the head, a bite from a dog, and a finger in a mousetrap. Of course we TELL the kids about the mousetrap, we SHOW them what it does, but of course one of them always has to figure it out on their own!

School starts back up on the 25th so we will be ready for that. The kids want Halloween so that's a plan.

We're doing family things, we have never been so happy. VJ made the move entirely painless and we knew what to expect every step of the way as a result. Onward!
