Salutatous zet a toutes,

Pitite question, j'ai recu mon AP, avec la photo d'ailleurs (puisqu'on se posait la question qqes pages plus tot), direction la France pour Nowel ! dancin5hr.gif

Par contre, mon ESTA est expiree, dois-je en refaire une ?

Question conne j'imagine, mais on ne sait jamais...

Non, pas besoin. :) (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/173235-dont-need-to-do-esta-with-ap-right/?p=2595093)

Si t'as pas recu ta green card d'ici-la, tu auras besoin de ton AP, d'un passeport valide et prends aussi ton NOA de l'AOS au cas ou.

Bon voyage!

Bon voyage aussi loladolly :)

Mumu, j'ai trouvé moins cher que Bagages du monde moi. Pour environ 500€, la société CTIA transport vient chercher mes cartons (0.6 m² - 100kg max) chez moi à 200 km de Paris pour que je les récupère 5 jours plus tard à l'aéroport à NY. Ca fait plus de 10 cartons de taille standard soit l'équivalent de 4 grosses valises.

J'ai appelé CTIA et c'est intéressant si on envoie 100kgs minimum! Sinon c'est le même prix pour le poids en dessous de 100 kgs donc vu que j'envoie 40 kgs soit deux valises, je reste avec bagages du monde.

En plus il m'a dit qu'il ne faisait plus l'envoi direct au domicile, il faut aller le chercher à l'aéroport.

Pour les fringues et les trucs pas trop fragiles, moi j'm'étais tout simplement envoyée des cartons par la poste.
Bon, j'avais la réduction du boulot donc c'était avantageux.
Mais même sans, si c'est pour un nombre limité de cartons, je crois que ca vaut le coup.

Salut!

Je suis bien arrivee. Creuvee et completement jetlagged, surtout mon fils.

Le voyage a ete long, cette escale a dublin de 4h est ce qui a rendu le tout plus difficile car le petit s est bien comporte dans l avion. A l avenir meme si c est plus cher ce sera que des vols directs. De toute facon a partir de maintenant, je ne voyagerai plus l ete.

Le POE s est assez bien passe, j ai bien sur ete emmene en secondaire, avec mon historique je m en doutais donc j ai pas ete surprise. Mais bon je n ai pas ete questionne, ils ont juste ouverts l enveloppe et rendu mon passeport. En fait c etait surtout le mec du depart qui etait gueule de c.. Enfin vous pouvez lire ma review.

Le plus dur a ete l attente d environ 30 minutes en secondaire avec presque une journee de voyage dans les pates et le petit super creuve et qui a du subir encore plus d attente, heureusement yavais la poussette. Mais bon a la fin il a ete super heureux de retrouver son papa !
