Hi Everyone!

I'm finally back...sorry to have been away for so long...planning a wedding and actually having it took up soooo much time!

Here's a pic from our wedding just this past Sat. May 3, 2008 in Key West.

post-38215-1210213264_thumb.jpg

We just registered our wedding certificate/license and now comes the fun part with all the AOS, EAD and AP paper work!

I've got everything together ready for submission (AOS, EAD and AP) however each form is asking for 2 passport photos each. That would mean 6 photos in the package.

Is that necessary since I'm submitting them all together (there is already 1 set with the AOS forms)?

Hey you! I was wondering where you'd got to! Trailmix is here now too! :dance:

Wow. What a beautiful picture. And I LOVE your bouquet! It looks like orchids and carnations? It's a beautiful combination, anyway.

Congratulations!

hi hi! I missed you all!

Yes we're all part of the big Florida family! he he he

Actually they are Peonies and orchids (Dendrobiums). They smelled so good too!

Thank you for all the well wishes....I think I can actually start breathing again not having to do any more planning.....phew...

Congrats on the wedding

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Congrats on the wedding!

From what I remember in sending my AOS pkg in, I had to get 2 pics for each form that required them. Its a hassle to get that many, but it is what they want.

Hi!

It's funny that you got married in Key West....my girlfriend and I are also planning on getting married there once I obtain my k1 visa (we are currently waiting for an interview date from the Montreal embassy)

Do you have any suggestions for weddings in Key West (we've started looking at different options and found some online that look interesting but any recommendations or ideas by people who have actually experienced it themselves are more than welcome!)

May I also ask where in Florida you have moved? I'll be moving to Orlando.

Thank you!

Cocoa Beach baby! That's where all the Orlandonians go for the beach! he he he ;)

There are so many places to have a small quaint wedding in Key West:

- Key West Botanical Gardens (that's where we had it - I can recommend my wedding planner to you and photographer if you're interested...PM me)

- Hemingway House

-At one of the many Historic homes that are also hotels/B&Bs

-Waterfront by the Hyatt (be prepared to pay $$ resort prices)

Really depends on your budget....If you want more info, PM me with specifics! :D
