Hey everybody

havent said hello in a while. I check it every day but that is all my time allows right now.

So a lot has happened.

I am sorry to hear about Laura. I hope she gets better soon.

The only good part about being busy is that i dont have the time to get mad at the whole waiting situation. Of course it sucks. We moved to 101 on Igors list today. I am not too stressed out as long as they approve 2 or 3 people a day. Better than nothing. I just hope that we all get approved soon, so keep up the good spirits everybody :dance:

The summer is back in Germany but since i work all day i cant really enjoy it but maybe this weekend. So how is everybody doing today?

Hi Maddy, doing well here. Lovely and sunny here to in Scotland. Thanks for asking about Lara.

In what part of Germany are you in? I worked in Regensburg, Nurenburg and Gotha back in 1994. I loved my time there, I miss the place.

Hey William

How you doing? Is Lara at all improved?

I ended up exploring Roslin Chapel last weekend. The weather rocked. In fact its been great most of this week. (YAY) Had my first "football" experience last night. Saw Barcelona trounce Hiberian at Murrayfield. Not surprised by that though. I did dress as a Hibbie cause I live in their territory seemed appropriate.

Have decided to spend the bank holiday going to Loch Ness and Inverness, if i can get accomodation. Definitely want to see more of Scotland. But I start commuting to Coventry doing the week for work, so also going to use the excuse to stay down there and explore too.

She's still in a lot of pain Dairy. Her ex husband may have to move down from Philadelphia as she's no able to look after the kids. The poor lass can hardly stand up for 5 mins.

She has the physiotherapist 3 times a week, so hopefully see an improvement soon.

Ewwww Hibernian, I'm a Glasgow Rangers fan. You should support them lol. So your of to Coventry, I was working in Northampton which isn't too far from there. Quite a nice area.

If your staying in Inverness, try the Chieftain Hotel, reasonable prices and centre of the town.

Thanks for the tips. Doing some forward planning at the moment. Not sure about switching from an Edinburgh team to a Glaswegian team. Might be asking for a beating on the streets here. lol Especially as I live only 10mins from the ground.

Poor Lara. That sounds awful. At least it sounds like the ex is supportive. It must be hard for you being so far away.

Hey Everyone...

Long time no post. But I'm here reading most every day.

Finally got our second touch today, so even though things are moving slowly, at least they're moving.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Hello and welcome back Ryan. August is round the corner and the NOA2's will be flying...........I hope.

Thanks, man. I just cant help but say that its a total crock of sh*t that 10,000 Mexicans can come on over here every day with bedroom sets strapped to their backs, and then have a government even talk about the possibility of giving them amnesty.....while we all have to sit here and go through this.

I always get a smile on my face when I think of putting Chantal in the trunk of my car for a drive back to the U.S.

Think they'd consider giving her amnesty?

LOL

So I wait

hmm, I can't see that June filer being accurate, unless it was an expidite case...Half of April hasn't even gotten approved...If someone did get it, then congrats to them, but I will be amazingly P.O'd at VSC... :angry:

*sigh* I have to go back to NB on Thursday...I really wish I didn't have to leave :( How is everyone else this week?

Ryan..we got a touch on the 22nd out of the blue too...hopefully it was something meaningful

After further investigation it was actually actually an expedited case afterall!

Seems to be picking up now though!

My prediction is that things will speed up and May filers wont wait as long as March/April!
