Sounding good Looky !

Happy New Year everybody! (Jan 1st now in this part of the world)

Very best wishes for a fantastic 2012 to you all

Happy New Year Andie, may this year surprise you with a brand new spanking petition! Merry Happy New Year to All!

[Stuart and Thea 95]

Looky, is there any way that you can fly over there, and go to the interview with her from her home? I hate that she keeps running into all these mishaps, and I know if it was me, I'd be scared and anxious to go again, dreading what else could go wrong. The support that you could give her would be priceless, and it would go a long way at the interview to know that you went with her every step of the way this time.

I thought about that a lot Thea, and also talked to her about it but we are thinking its not worth it this time. I'll mention it to her again next time I talk to her.

The thing is I just went and got in a big mess trying to find out what happened to her and salvage this whole process. I already have plans to go over there once she gets the Visa, to bring her to America with the dog.

I think she will be fine cause she got a hint of what she might have to deal with when she talked to the guy at the embassy and he got a bit sarcastic with her, but she says she'll be able to handle the interview. Plus after my recent trip she would rather I just come there after the interview and closer to the Spring when its warming up in America.

She already knows what I went through and what I am doing to keep things alive for us. I think she'll be fine this time and I'm trying to sink it into her mind so she doesn't forget this time. "Don't forget to wear your seat belt when you get in that taxi"!

I found out when I went there what a scary sort of place she was living in! Had I known, I would have had her move. She has moved now to a much nicer area, so I don't fear somebody stealing her money this time.

Thanks Thea, but I'm thinking, if something went wrong again this time, it would be time to take a good look at the writing on the wall.

Looky, the writing on the wall is screaming get her OUT of that place! Really, you seem to have been moving heaven and earth to make this work, and sometimes things are insurmountable, but it doesn't stop us from doing it anyway,, no matter how difficult.

As the song goes Thea, 'you can't hurry love, you just have to wait'. She can do this interview on her own and doesn't need me to babysit her on that. If she doesn't get to the interview this time, then the COs are right she doesn't want to go to America. That said, I think she will get to the interview and I just have to trust her word.

Thea you have to understand that everything is going very smoothly. I can't force her, she has to go at the pace that she feels comfortable at, or it could end up all flying back in my face. She lives in Cyprus for a reason, its warm and her system doesn't handle freezing cold weather too well. I think she could learn to handle a gradual change but putting a shock into her system like going from warm to freezing cold, in America, all of a sudden is just asking for trouble, especially when I would have only 3 months to make that ever-lasting impression on her.

I really do appreciate your concerns, but now I can only keep talking to her, and hope everything keeps going smoothly.

Hope all is going great for March filers. There are a few straglers like Andie and me but I think most others are in the US by now.

As for Loreta and I, we are still moving along smoothly. Loreta is still having some issues, like just last Thursday she lost hearing in her right ear. Hopefully its only temporary, she'll see a doctor on Monday. In any case she will get to the interview on the 27th.

Another good thing for us, I got tired of the temporary Sim card she uses in Cyprus cause the phone connections from the US are horrible at best! I got her an international sim card like the one I use when I go out of the US, so now she and I can call each other whenever we feel like with no worries about whether we'll get a connection!

Hope she gets better soon Looky, I'm an outsider too in this whole process I'm still in Peru trying to sell my apartment, but any day, hopefully sooner than later.

Your interview is pretty soon right? Tell Loreta to take extra care of her these days so nothing weird can happen again! Best wishes for you!

Thanks Dante, hope you get your apartment sold soon, so you can go to America soon! The K-1 Visa requires you to travel to the US before 6 months right, so make sure you don't miss that deadline.

Yes the interview is coming soon and I got all the updated documents to her. Yes every time she has to take a taxi, I ask her if she wore her seat belt so she doesn't forget. She lives in a safer area now and I'm asking her not to listen to her friends, if anything takes her focus off our goal. We are trying to be extra careful cause we know even I fell into some sort of scammers trap over there, people somehow got information on us. I think the scammers have given up but I'm letting her be aware, in case she gets calls from phone numbers she doesn't know.

They did an MRI and blood test on her to make sure the hearing problem wasn't due to cancer, and fortunately it wasn't and now she is getting some therapy done for her ear. We actually wanted to get her here closer to Spring/Summer time when its warm here, so we're not off schedule.

Best wishes to you too, and I really think we will get this done this time!

@Looky,

Hi, I haven't visited the VJ site for awhile mostly due to wedding planning. The big date is February 5 and Inday and I decided to "do it up big" rather than go for the justice of the peace option. So, trying to fit a typical years worth of planning into about 2 months is taking its toll time-wise.

Anyway, I am glad that I logged on today and saw your and your fiancee's status. I am almost daily thinking about you and Loreta and cheering you both on. I hope your finacee's health concerns will soon be abated and that she may continue to gain good and better health. Meantime, keep pressing onward for the prize, especially being so close to the goal.

--RK

P.S. Inday was surprised by rthe cold even though I warned her multiple times. Her idea of dressing warm for November arrival was a light sweater and her barefeet in sandals. Fortunately, my family met her at the airport with gloves, hat, scarf, and think overcoat. [she was still shivering wearing those!] Didn't think about the feet, however. The good news is that Inday adapted rather quickly to the colder temperatures.

Hey Congratulations RK, the 5th is not too far away!!! I imagine you two are quite busy and running around like chickens with their heads cut off right now, with all the arrangements and everything!!! Great!!!

Thats funny, with Inday's bare feet and all, I guess being from the Phillipines she probaly never been in really cold weather. Its good she's adjusting but I guess you need to let her build up her immunity to things like the flu and all.

Thanks for the cheers and thoughts RK! Everythings still going quite well for Loreta and I. I'm able to talk to her everyday now and all is looking good. She just got her passport photos taken again today cause I think the old ones are almost 9 months old. She thinks she has everything she needs for the interview but we'll go over everything this weekend to make sure she is all set!

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

Just to update. Loreta's interview was rescheduled by the Embassy, by about a week later. I'm not putting out the exact date on purpose, to protect her. Good news on her one ear, her hearing is coming back after starting therapy.

Hey everybody, long time I don't post here. Well, but always on the K1 group on Facebook.

@RK & Inday, congratulations guys! February 5th its almost here, wish you all the best!

@Geor, I know everything about the apartment haha

@ Looky, I don't know what to tell you man. Honestly, I've been reading about everything it happened to your fiancee and the updates, I really don't know what to tell you. But to be honest with you, something does seem wrong to me about it all. Since its none of my business, I can just wish you good luck, if its meant to be it will happen, sooner or later.

About our case, we sent last week our AOS package and last night I received the NOA1's for everything. I'm very excited, but not really about the wait Oh well though, I had to wait to be here with my husband, now its all good.

I hope everybody is doing alright and enjoying their time with family or loved ones.

Well congratulations Carolina! I don't think you realize how different my relationship is with Loreta than almost any relationship I know about and could easily be a good movie story. First of all the fact is she has always had way too many health problems and now that she will be 37 in 4 months its not getting any easier for her. I've known about the problems since I met her, almost 10 years ago. She and I are best friends and we can never be apart for too long. She's tested me against past boyfriends and just about everything else but I've always won her, over and over again. We both need each other. I really wonder sometimes how long it will be before some health problem comes along that could put her over the edge, but I'm going to be there for her cause there's no one else that can take care of her the way I can.

So don't worry about me, she and I are fighters till the end and we've already given each other so much happiness that we will always be happy for what we have!

Enjoy Carolina, but one thing, quit waiting for everything, cause you'll be waitng for something all your life! Spend the time doing the stuff that makes you happy and so the time will fly and you'll be wondering what the heck you were waiting for anyway!
