Hello all,

Finally I am having some time to write you. Erika yes I really lost myself in my dream i think lol

We live in Eastgreenbush, NY where close to Albany.. This is a nice and quiet are and luckly it is getting warmer here..usually it is very very cold.. I hate cold weather but I can worry about it next winter :) My husband and I traveled with Turkish Airlines on March 5th.. It was a very good and fun flight because of him :) the passport check point was very busy, mu hubby made it through in a few min..mine took longer..It was very easy..the officer only asked which visa i had..i said K-3..he asked the yellow envelope that the embassy had sent me with my visa..and attached the I-94 to my passport that i filled out in the plane.. We waited 5 hours at JFK for Albany plane..got home very late on Thursday..all i remember my hubby was drugging me with the luggages..lol Friday i was like drunk! we went to see his friends on the weekend, because everybody has been waiting to meet me.. It was tiring but certainly fun! they all are very friendly.. I felt very special...

I was very busy with the house last week..Bacause my husband moved here recently there were some unpacked boxes..and of course i had to clean the house all over and washed everything in the house.. my husband`s face was puzzled when i was doing my 10th laundry on the same day lol

and I met his parents last weekend..they were just great! I felt very comfortable at the first moment we met..

now I need to apply for AOS.. some people toldm me i should hire a lawyer but I think I can do this myself! first i will research about which docs and forms i should send to the uscis.. If anynone here can help me on this i would appreciate!

Erika I wish the best of luck on your interview! Yes they told us americans can`t get in the embassy till 1 pm.. but i am sure if you insist they`ll let you in.. I am sure everything will be fine..if your fiance doesn`t have a common name i am sure there won`t be any AP.. I know you did all preperation.. but organize everything in a file because he`ll get excited during the interview when the officer asks something he can find easily.. they ask your love story because they want to see the emotion when you talk.. You are in my prayers~ insallah you`ll be back in the states together (L) also wendy.. I wish everything goes well with his interview// all my best wishes with you too..

I am giving my e-mail address please e-mail if any of you want to be in touch with me and I`ll give my phone number too... sibel you know my old e-mail but please email here from now on.. filizwright@yahoo.com I`ll talk to you soon..

I wish all best of luck who has been waiting to be reunited with their loved ones.. This is a very very hard time period, but it will be over eventually.. just a little more patience...

Herkese sevgiler (F)

Filiz

Merhaba Filiz,

Sorry I didn't get the chance to Welcome you to the USA until now, but I am glad to hear that you had made it safely across the Atlantic Ocean! :)

So you live close to Albany? I live in Westchester, NY. Yet still not close enough to Albany to stop by and say hello :(

Well, just wanted to wish you and your hubby well and much love & happiness (L) {{Hugs}} to you both!

I am now so happy for you and Yilmaz to finally be finished with this AP nonsense!!!

So when will Yilmaz come back to the USA??? At least this time when the AOS process comes up, you will both be together when you start the filing procedure! :reading:

Much love to you both! (F)

Wow, nice to see and read all the new wonderful news from most of girls here on their visa approvals. I have missed alot since not being here much as of lately, again!

Not that I have been busy or anything, it's just that I have some issues of my own to solve and can't seem to come here as much. I will do tell everyone much later on what is happening and so on.

Just wanted to come by today to see how everyone was doing and to see if anything new has progress for any of the couples since I have been gone, glad I came!

Debbie, Tanya, awaterlily, Sibel and Annette, hope all of you are doing well and happy too. I do hope to also have the chance to talk to you all personally when I get the chance and as Wendy and Filiz did, hope we can all exchange numbers or email addresses so that we can all keep in touch other than by VJ.

I feel we all have come to be great dear friends through a common bond and I hope to day meet with you all soon! :)(F)

{{Hugs}} & Love (L) to all :wub:

P. S. Sorry to hear about your instructor Tanya. May they rest in peace :((F)

Mina, thank you so much!! It is always so good to see you post. You are always so upbeat and uplifting for everyone and I, as I am sure the other too, really appreciate you!!!

We are still working out the details for Yilmaz coming to the U.S. We have changed (or I should say I have changed) the POE several times. First JFK and then I thought Phila. would be better because it is closer to me. Now it is back to JFK. I am hoping to drive up on a Friday afternoon, meet him at the airport, check into a hotel by the airport and then drive back the next day. I just don't want to do all that driving in one day. It is a long trip for me. Close to 3 hours one way. I used to have to drive into Manhattan when my sister was modeling for Wilimina models and I dreaded the drive. But I have never driven to JFK and I am a little aprehensive. But, I know I can do it!!!

Thanks again for you well wishes and support!! Love you!!!

~Wendy
