[tenika 0]

Hey VJ Peers,

My wonderful guy is coming home to NYC tommorow. I am sooo excited, even though it has been only 2 1/2 months in this process, I feel like I have waited for an eternity. Any final advice, maybe on what can be expected at the POE, advice on first time plane travel, coming to America, I appreciate you all, you guys have been a great support through this journey

Congrats to you both!!!

You won't need any advice.... everything will just fall nicely into place once your Sweetie gets here.

Have a great reunion and best wishes for a nice wedding.

Congrats. POE should be easy. Did you say it is his first time flying? That may be the hardest part of the whole thing. I know it was my husband's first time flying (well, the small plane earlier in the day from his hometown to the international airport was). I was really worried about that and transfers in airports and things like that. Basically, I wrote him a detailed (I MEAN DETAILED) list of the process from when he got to the airport until he was in my arms at this end. I included things like popping ears, food/drink service, bathrooms, transfers, luggage, buttons on the plane, etc. Anything that I felt he might possibly need. I think he took one glance at it, but hardly read it. He met someone as they were boarding and told him that he had never flown before and he was kind enough to advise him. I think I was more worried about his traveling than he was. So, give him as much guidance on the trip as you think he needs/will use and just hug and hold him once he gets here.

Love your advice. Will do the detail thing, but I like the part about holding him when he gets off the plane better

Thanks

Congrats!

My POE was JFK and like you I was kinda worried at first but it turned out to be okay. I even got my temporary EAD without even asking for it. Good luck!

I can give you advice for what to do AFTER you get him home to your place.

1)Put down all bags, lock the door, turn off the phone

2)Pounce on him and kiss him sensless and whatever else strikes your fancy.

3)rest

4)repeat steps 2-4.

I agree with Chicken Little...

But also, I found it was a good idea to have a pretty relaxed schedule the first week or so that Luis got here. He was excited, sure, but also massively culture shocked, and while it wouldn't help him to have a million things to do as soon as he walked in the door, it also wouldn't have been good to do nothing.

Some ideas? Depends on what your work schedule is. We went to the nearby park for a picnic one day, did a LITTLE wedding planning, painted a room in our house, rented movies, adopted and loved up on new kitties. His transition I think was smoother because he was relaxed and happy and we were able to start setting a foundation of our life together.

Just some ideas,

Enjoy that beautiful day, it's surreal!
