May filers

Anna;

I know how you feel it’s the same thing here! Everyone is getting married and I feel bad because I should be happy for them! But I just cant right now!

I miss my john to much and want to get married to! NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I’m getting my dress from Portugal, my grandmother live there and she is paying for the dress!

I haven’t decide what color I want any suggestions!?

We are getting married on the beach.

Have good one

Your grandma is so nice . And beach wedding sounds like so much fun! I dunno what color you should choose. I mean, brides are allowed to wear whatever they want this day, according to all those magazines. I guess just go with what suits you. That's what I'm going to do for my dress. It is blue in the pic I brought to my dress maker, but I'll just go to the store and see which fabric goes with my eyes. I'll just have to get Dave a matching tie .

So, were are you guys getting married at? Sorry for being noisy . We already talked about it and decided to have a lil' civil wedding and than save up and have a big one with my family flying down for the occasion. So the other day Dave mentioned smth about eloping, since we have a lot of friends in Orlando and lil' thing can easily turn into a big bash, and I'm already dreaming about just two of us sharing this experience after this long journey. As he mentioned it, I immediately though about the beach. Maybe Key West, or St. Petersburg, or Fort Lauderndale... I'm lost here

Hi Anna!

You are so welcome! Was so happy to see that Vermont is a life! Can you believe that they got approved in 55 days?

I’m sure I will find my dream dress, but like my grandmother said; “you will now as soon as you see it in front of you” and I think that she is right!

I did found a dress that I even tried on but I’m not sure! Can send you some pictures, and I would love to see how your dress looks like!

Exactly, Where is everybody???

I'm very hopeful we will get the visa by October at the latest Alex. Come the 20th June, that will be one month. Time will soon fly in. Have you thought what will be your POE when you do fly over?

ALEX: I PMed you the link to my civil cer. dress, and my email... Feel free to send the pics, would love to see the dress . My mom just suggested I get my real wedding dress (for our big U.S. wedding) here too, but man our salons are just so unkept and tiny, plus they charge you for merely trying on the dress. I guess I'll try U.S. just for the experience of feeling special and important Lol.

William: I am also hoping for September/October. Kiev embassy is not that bad with appointments, plus am already gathering all my paperwork.

Wonder how is Jen's Bo doing with his A/C troubles...

I’m seeing a lot of approvals from Vermont in just one week! A k-3 filer got approved in 3 months!

K-1 =4 approval’s

K-3 = 3 approval’s

GO VERMONT GO!!! That is sooooooooooo overwhelming!

I don’t know but I’m having a wonderful feeling!

William;

Same here… the American embassy in Stockholm is not that busy.

"Have you thought what will be your POE when you do fly over?"

It’s not going to be charlotte that’s for sure, it was horrible! They asked me way I was coming back to America so soon and I told them the truth, told the officer that I had a boyfriend! And I had to spend the night in Jail!

Not just that, I had a round trip ticket to Stockholm (Sweden) and they only send me half home, When I got to Germany I realized that my other ticket to Sweden was missing, we called charlotte airport to ask about the missing ticket and they laid that I was the one that had lost the ticket! so I had to buy a new ticket to Stockholm!

It’s amazing the way the POE officers behave! Sometimes I get feeling that they think that they are GOD or something?!

It was a nightmare.

Ana;

Your dress is so elegant! Love it!

Will send you some pics of my dress late on…

OMG!!! Are you serious??? Never heard of such horrible treatment at POE!!!! That is simply un-human!!!! Yeah, def. shoot for another place to enter the country.

I can't agree more with the fact that officers at the POEs are abusing their power. Last autumn when Dave and I were coming back from vacation in Jamaica they questioned me about our relationship and rudely asked what I was going to do after my visa expirations (I still had good 3 months to go on my J1). Not only that, they questioned Dave as if he was some criminal!!! That was Orlando. I'm really thinking JFK for my entry, since I can get straight tickets there and they should be more accustomed to dealing with immigrants and K-1s.

Oh, and thanks for the dress compliments

[Jenni and Bo 0]

Hey guys

I'm alive lol...and so is Bo I think his roomate did get the a/c fixed, but i'm not sure how long it will last...he's counting down the day until he can get into our new apartment (July 1st is the move-in day). I think it's going to be a huge shock to the system to be down there in July for me..it gets warm here, but not as humid as it is down there! A/C in the apartment will be my friend for sure. I'm just looking forward to being there in the winter and NOT having 6-10 feet of snow on the ground for 5 months...I'm so not a winter person, and considering I'm Canadian, you would think i'dve dealt with it by now lol

I was reading about POEs and I have been nervous too about getting stuck somewhere...so I've been paying a bit of extra money and driving to Halifax (nova Scotia - 4 hr drive and where I used to live) because they have US pre-clearance there I go through US customs in Canada, so, if for some reason they refuse me, I won't be stuck. It's a brand new part of the airport, it only opened 2 years ago. I think when I fly down on my visa, I will need to stop at immigration at the US airport, but customs will be taken care of.

When I flew down in May, the Custom's officer asked me a ton of questions, and when he asked me if I was coming back, and I said yes, he said "because you know if you don't come back to Canada, you will really screw things up for you and your visa" - DUH! I don't know why he would think I would jeopardize a visa-in-progress

I haven't even started looking at dresses yet..the nice stores for dresses are in the bigger cities, and with the price of gas lately, I haven't wanted to drive too far. I think I may look when I go down to NC in July. I'm getting something simple for the first wedding, and I'll wait a bit to pick out my dream dress for the ceremony back in Canada

I really really really hope they are quick with teh NOA2's for us...you guys seem to have fairly quick embassies, but it's looking like the wait time for Montreal is about 2-3 months I just keep hoping and wishing, and keeping my fingers crossed as often as I can!

<3 Jen

Hope all of you are doing well. Just checking in to see the latest news. I think sometimes its better for me to just put things out of my mind rather than talk about them. So, anyway, just wanted to stop in and say hello to you all, and hopefully we'll all have this go faster than any of us think.

Have a great Tuesday,

Ryan

HI Im a may Filer and waiting is driving me insane. I cant wait for news. My fiance is leaving late August and I was soo wanting to go with him but looks like ill be heading after him. I cant wait to know so wedding plans can be made :-)

Good luck the rest of May Filers hopefully its a productive time over in the states at the moment :-)

[Ana&D 0]

Jen: Glad to hear that Bo's AC troubles are over . To be honest I can't wait to get back to Florida heat. That's the weirdo I am. When I left the States in December (after almost two years spent in Sunshine State), I honestly thought I would die from Ukrainian cold, and it must not even be close to what you get in Canada! Lol. My mom makes fun of me for constantly dragging my huge pink blanket around the house.

Ryan: Sometimes I wish I could put it out of my mind for a bit. Tried taking extra work, did not really help just got me really tired .

Melzy: Welcome! Just stay positive and remember even if he leaves in late August, you'll be joining him really soon. I mean if all goes well, we should be approved by September!

Well, I have a fun business trip today, which I've been putting off for almost a week now, so better get going. Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday. Let's see if this week will bring us some April approvals. They gotta make room for us
