Rob&Dawn,

Sebastian was a bit worried about sending in packet 3 before receiving it, even though I've been begging him to! He's just extra paranoid about jeopardizing things. Of course, I finally talked him into just sending it when they decided to mail us packet 3. hehe. We have the checklist, so he's going to fill everything out tonight, scan me copies so I can proofread them and hopefully mail it tomorrow. Thanks for the 6 week timeframe info, I wasn't aware of that. You should be getting your interview date any day now!

I feel like a zombie right now in this whole stupid process...Johny went to go get his med exam done yesterday and they were trying to tell him that he cannot get it done until after the interview and blah blah blah...so he called the embassy and they told him what to tell the hospital...so he was supposed to get it done today...meaning we have to wait a week to get the results back so sending the packet back next week...i swear anything to delay this from happening any faster is happening...i just hope he os back by the end of feb. but it seems like he is never going to come home...i went from being excited last week to feeling like this again, like it is never going to end...

They just did a revamp on their wedding bureau in NYC - they were showing it on TV and it looks pretty nice. Not a bad alternative. Here's the AP article on it. They've got little chapels and a shop where they sell some flowers and stuff. Not exactly your typical courthouse wedding. I wish I had something like this around here!

Here's to hoping it's not tacky! Haha. I saw this link about a City Hall elopement in California, and it pretty much embodies what I'm after.

Hang in there darkraven, the worst is over!

(F) just sending *hugs*...this process sure is a roller coaster...it always seems to be something creating further delay.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

So here's my update...I got a hold of someone in my Senator's office and they are on the case, they said they would call me back when they learn something but that if I don't hear something in 2 weeks to be sure and call them.

Guess we'll see what happens.

NOA 2. Really?

I'm in the same boat. I can't wait for the interview date. My fiance too. We both want it before the end of the month so we can progress to the next step. Another France July filer sent me a pm today. They sent their p3 2 days after us and received their interview letter today so I'm hoping for some good news asap.

Send your follow-up letter of intent to marry, and then make sure he's bringing pictures of your last time together. Other than that, you should have him bring something with recent dates on it (don't overdo it - a few pages should be sufficient) -- call logs, letters (the envelope that has the postmark too), etc.

There's some people on here that use a program to export Skype call logs. If you're interested in using that as your proof, I'm sure a simple search on VJ for "Skype call log" or something similar will find what you need.

Don't stress on these forms! You're close to the end of this stuff.
