Right now in Grenada, it's around 85 degrees and the wind is blowing gently. The breeze around Easter is always nice, Kids are constantly flying homemade kites. The sun is out and I am sitting inside in front of a fan!

There is a World Cup Cricket here today, my fiance is at the game with one of the boys from the residential home he works at but I'm just listening to it on the radio.

I'll walk down to the village and check the post office today to see is our packet 3 has arrived yet, I'll probably stop at one of the rum shops and have a Fanta and watch the second half of the match.

So I can't complain about the wait, I just want Kellon to get the visa sooner than later so we have extra time if there are any difficulties at the embassy. I just didn't expect the mail to be such a problem. Mail alone has already added about 5 extra weeks to our application (more than normal in-country filers) I am going back to the states in September (just after carnival) and we really want to be able to travel up together.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I hope you are weathering the storm safely up there. My family is in Maine and Vermont...I think their toes may be a bit wet by this time.

Hey Sue,

My fiance says that there's something from the embassy waiting for him at home, but he's not there now and I don't know when he's going. I'm figuring that it's packet 3. He'll be handing in his DS230 this week, so I'm glad we didn't wait for the packet to get to him. If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't know what was in packet 3 and I'd be scrambling. As it is, all of the documents are pretty much ready for him, I just have to send them to him. Now it's just a matter of when they'll schedule the interview and making his appointment for his medical.

Just starting the journey, haven't yet filed... Until today(2/12/07)!

congrats, tonyeck! you're quickly catching up to me! (our interview is may 2nd)

i can't believe how SLOW mail is in some places.... sorry you island kids are going through that! my fiance's packet arrived slow (or so i thought before i read your posts) because the consulate is even in the same city as he lives...but it STILL took over a week to get it after it was sent out. lol

Yeah, that IS slow... I think it's not so bad when the mail from one part of the country to another, but when it's coming from off the island... :wacko:

I've been waiting for this thing from barbados for over a month now....but we still don't have confirmation that the request (and Payment) for the police check in Canada has even gottten there. we mailed that on March 6!!!!!

then there is a 4 month wait for it to be processed. I am getting a bit concerned that if these things don't hurry up, we won't be able to travel up together. I know it won't be the end of the world, but it would be really nice!

maybe i'll just stay in Grenada a few extra months...we can stay with his family and eat green bananas and salt fish! hahaha

Patience is a virtue...but it's not as fun as throwing a great big hairy temper tantrum. :lol:

So barbados and I have officially given up on our packet 3 being lost. They sent it again yesterday through DHL so it can be tracked. They said Grenada has a habit of loosing things the Embassy send here.

So it should get here in a day or two...only problem is that we have to pay COD on this packet...and it will be at least $50!

Put a few more greenbacks on the tally.

But I'm glad we are finally getting the packet...I really just wish I could have down loaded it all instead.

GhannaLove,

that's great!

I'm glad it's moving again for you.

It sounds like a great time taking kids to Ghanna, I hope that works out for you too.

Will your fiance be able to join you all on that trip?

What a great opportunity, GhanaLove. I hope you can jump on it!

My update: have bought tickets and we'll be going to the consulate on June 18th for his interview. Only problem...I'm growing more and more disenchanted with Providence and am itching to move back to Mexico!

Maybe when spring actually gets there it will help you feel better about staying. And if you finish the visa and AOS process, eventually you two can live either place for the rest of your lives. I vote for summers in the states and winters in Mexico!!!!

I know we are planning on building a house here in grenada eventually...can't find a better place to go to in February!
