Yeah it might be too late

I remember when I told the Aunt yesterday after she told me about how many people so far, " You are scaring me," she said, "nah, you not scared, you big strong man."

Hi y'all...

Oh, it's gotten more cheerful in here. Love the wedding dresses and talk of plans and babies. Much more fun. Keep the spirits up. You can get pretty moody at this point so don't let it strain your relationship. We actually had two total breakups in our March group. I'm not lying! And another said she was giving up and he could just move to her country. She was going to cancel the whole case. Then she dropped out of posting for the longest time. She reappeared and is already in the US, so it was good to know she worked out the problems at her interview and kept pursuing the dream. I think she was so stressed out that when the Embassy said they needed a co-sponsor and put her approval on hold, she just had a melt down. You guys are doing well. It's that black hole of no news that ruins it. Before long, you'll say, "I can't believe it's been so fast. Wow, time to pack."

Luckytxn---Do you live in Houston? Are you watching hurricane Gustav and wondering what the heck it will finally decide to do? Always unpredictable. Enjoy your weekend before it starts pouring rain next week...or not...depending....

And then there's Hannah waiting in the wings....

Thanks Nich-Nick. I live south of Houston and north of Galveston and right by the water and as usual I am watching the hurricanes as I do every year when they say it is heading our way. Or not. I have a nice big house too. The house has gone through a couple of canes and a few tropicals and many varied storms by now. Not worried unless they become at least a category 3 or more as the house has never been hit by that size and higher yet. Kinda hoping it veers off though. Is that selfish?

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Hey Tex...a day later and so far so good for us, except it's category 4 now. You sound like you're near Clear Lake, Seabrook, Kemah. I am cautiously waiting because they never seem to go where they originally predict. I have supplies and and my car is full of gas. I will definitely evacuate if it turns during the night. And now we wait...

Yes Nich-Nick. I live in League city right next to Seabrook and near the Boardwalk. Born and raised in Houston but for many years there. I just checked the tracking again and it looks to be making a more northerly track away from us but of course we will know in less than 24 hours whether to flee. I am actually in Iowa now and heading to Oklahoma.

Hopefully all will be ok and you are smart to get the gas now and not tomorrow. To many wait till the last minute and then none to be had. Good luck and be safe.---Curtis---

Update: NVC recieved the petition and "within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post". It's nice to see things actually start moving after the NOA2.

I'm also in Houston, inside the 610 loop, but it looks like the Hurricane is going to miss us by a good ways.

Yeah just checked the tracking and it is still headed northward so we bit the bullet again.

Congrats on the journey. Still waiting for the NVC to let me know they received mine.

No, we dodged the bullet again.

I'm not dismissing it until after tomorrow's early update. I've lived on the coast my whole life and have seen some like Carla, stop moving forward and just bobble around getting bigger for a couple of days, then going in a different direction. Dr. Neil (Channel 11) said after tomorrow morning's bulletin, we can be pretty sure where we stand. I'm still on semi-alert to get out of Dodge if needed, but my biggest concern is flooding, which would have to be a Category 4-5 being about 8 miles inland from Surfside and Freeport. Wind and rain aren't as much of a concern. My dad's theory was always that he'd rather be in the house to put out buckets, mop up water by a broken window, or nail a board over a hole in the roof, so I've been through a few smallish ones. I guess that's why they don't scare me quite so much because I've "ridden out" a few as they say.

Do you guys know you can call NVC and find out when your file got there and when it leaves and your new case number. London case will be something like LNDxxxxxxxxx. It's an abbreviation of the Embassy.

NVC: 603-334-0700 press 1 for English and 5 to talk to someone.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM (EST). Best time to call is 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM to 12:00 PM.

Don't enter your receipt number in the automated system. That doesn't work for K1s. Not put in the system. You must speak to a person.

Afer you know when it leaves, then you can track it through DHL all the way to the Embassy.

The trip went fine thanks Alex, even though it's pissing rain here in Northampton. Lara isn't too bad, she has her good days also with her bad.

How is everyone on this dreech, $hitty Monday morning>

[Jenni and Bo 0]

Gah...

Getting off my last 12 hr overnight shift :S Supposed to rain...again, today. I've always heard about how rainy it is over there Gordon, I honestly think the Maritimes is trying to beat the UK this year. You should see how high are rivers are :S

I'm alright today. I've switched from worrying about the NOA2 (or at least the RFE we're expecting), to praying that i get through customs ok next Monday. At least it will keep it from mopeing for awhile

How is everyone else?
