Postal Greve in Brasil

[000 0]

I dont know the name of the hotel because she still hasnt told me and i keep forgeting to ask, I only know it cost 135 + 5% tax. The 240 mailing fee is for overnight delivery. Since i have gone ahead and booked her tickets to come here 2 weeks after her interview I just want to make sure she has her passport in plenty of time. I think we will be prepared here is what she will take, any one feel free to tell me what they think.

Evidence:

Phone bills starting from March of 07 ending June of 08 ($6,753 Dollars worth )

50 pages of chat logs out of 220 or so pages total starting from April 27th of 08 to July 11th 08

Copy of my passport Bio page

Copy of my visa entries and exits from my passport page

3 plane ticket stubs Oct. , Dec. and June

3 family affidavits(Mother, Sister, and Brother-in-law) and 1 friend affidavit

2 photo albums with pictures from all 3 trips to see her ( we also incuded the pictures of the tattoos we did together of our wedding date in 3 leaves changing colors since we were married in fall, well America has fall anyway )

"In case" Documents:

A copy of my I-864EZ with W2 and tax transcripts for the past 3 years

My birth Certificae(original)

Her birth Certificate (certified)

2nd copy of the DS-230 I & II

Copy of our marriage certificate (certified)

Copy of her police Reports that were sent to NVC (certified)

2 more pictures 5X5 in case they dont like the ones we sent to NVC, this time I told her to not wear earrings and keep her hair off her ears.

Like I said Im not too worried about her having any trouble but this is our lives here, not to mention I dont want a 221G(or is it 212G?) because then I will need to pay for date changes on her flight here

That's cool, I think in the Embassy reviews, people mention one or two hotels - I will take a look. Wow, I didn't know overnight delivery was so expensive. SEDEX should do it in one or, at the most, two days... at it would be way cheaper - but it's your call. I sent something by SEDEX from the Northeast of Brazil to the interior of São Paulo and it got there the next day. And it cost R$40.

You sure spent a lot of money on phone bills! After my first couple of $600 phone bills, I started buying phone cards (at a Brazilian store near my old apartment in NY) - about 50 minutes for $5. However, I have at least 100 of them, so it probably added up in the end, anyway...

Your tattoos sound so cute! You didn't mention wedding photos - do you have those? If so, I would include those as well, especially photos showing friends and family at the wedding. Otherwise, I think you have everything in order.

I know what you mean - I am not really worried, but I am nervous, just because nothing is guaranteed, and because it means so much to our plans and our lives to get this visa. I know that is what you are saying too. I feel optimistic though...
