Sorry I missed your announcement late yesterday! I am so bad about scrolling back a few pages.

[Toshtishtash 1]

Congrats Poiteen and thejoz!!

[thejoz 0]

It's funny, cause she tells me that in her interview, they asked for next to nothing in terms of all the proof we were ready to provide.

So London strikes once again as the lax embassy

But who cares, we have a real wedding to finish planning, and then oh God, I kinda dread AOS

[Damian&Kelly 16]

Congrats!!

Aos.. geezz I brought that up with my fiance yesterday and he just said humor him and tell him the process is over after this interview lol.

[*julez* 124]

Ya know, I have to say, so far AOS hasn't been too bad. I thought the paperwork was much easier than for the I-129f & K1.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

wow, some congratulations are in order!!

well done, everyone

specially Poiteen, because, y'know, I've MET you n'all :D

[Jeraly 4]

YAY!! Gratzies guys!!

[Lansbury 19]

Congratulations to Poiteen and thejoz

[Jeraly 4]

I was approved too Have to agree with Aly that it was very easy and the interviewing officer was LOVELY!!! The bit I was most nervous about was the blood test during the medical and even that wasnt that bad So a good day all round!

Congrats Aly

Yay! What time was your interview? We may have crossed paths without knowing it

wow, some congratulations are in order!!

well done, everyone

specially Poiteen, because, y'know, I've MET you n'all :D

Ditto But she was so chilled about it you wouldn't even have thought she had one!!

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Thanks guys, you know I really still don't believe it's over (it isn't really - still have the medical) but I don't know. I've been doing all different kinds of immigration paperwork for over a year. 3 separate applications. Plus research and organising for getting married (it was a very administrative affair). When the CO insisted that my oH do his tax return I returned to work and started figuring that stuff out. And then I realised, that paperwork is just something everyone does, every year. And the forms don't really change, so once you've got the hang of it, it's more or less like telling a nOOb not to sign the DS-230 part 2 ( ) easy!! And of course there's removal of conditions. But I've still got all my copies of stuff from all 3 applications, and stuff I might need and stuff I'll never need, but I'm keeping anyway. And it occured to me today that once I have the visa in hand I can shred 80% of it. No longer necessary.

I don't know what to make of it. It's over????

Congrats, everyone!!! Those approvals are wonderful to see!!!!

I know! Part of me felt a little sad... is that sick?!?!? I mean - this whole process has been such an integral part of my life that it feels weird to not have it anymore - sure there is the AOS, removing conditions, citizenship and all that jazz... but it's not the same! Never again am I going to be able to complain about how hard it is to be without Jeremy...

Ah well - guess I can complain about living with him when it happens instead

[minnietheminx 0]

Yay to all the new approvals

Jeraly, without sounding stalkerish (lol), were you wearing a blue cardigan, blue jeans and a flowery top yesterday for your interview? (if so, I was sat on the same row as you but at the otherend besides the interviewing booths)
