Another US/Dutch couple here. I am in the Netherlands (Northern part) and my fiance is from PA. We are gathering the papers for the K1 and are hoping to file this week.

Mmhmm that is the number he called. It's the standard number they give you for pretty much anything. I've called it several times during our K1 application as well. Now was this e-mail sent after you

yeah it was definetly a big line. 3 big plains came in at the same time and all went to the visitorsline at the same time. and I had a seat at the window and the 2 ppl sitting next to me were so smart to " wait for the rest to go through" -.- So I came there as like one of the last ppl. for the rest it went pretty smoothly.

Christmas.... hm..... we just set up the christmas tree. I guess it was fun. ^^

Love is patient and kind;

it is not jealous or conceited or proud;

love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable;

love does not keep a record of wrongs;

love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.

Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

Love is eternal.

In a half hour, I am leaving to pick up John at the airport, LAX. I hope his POE goes quickly. As it is, there were SO many people in line at the airport in Amsterdam, it made him too late to check in his luggage and had to come without it! Looks like a trip to the mall is in order. Hopefully it will arrive sometime next week. Anyone know what POE at LAX is like?

I'm here as well! We've also been very busy. Just got back Friday from our honeymoon and we've been busy shopping for Christmas, getting things put up, etc ever since! Craziness basically.

Hopefully soon I can put up a few wedding pictures for you guys!

In the mean time though, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Also still around but very busy.

Looking really forward to X-mas.

Last weekend we had all that snow and we still have plenty lying around. Too bad it will rain on X-mas day.

Anyone else having trouble with certifying the vaccinations? From what I understand we don't need a new physical, just the signature from a physician

We have been calling and calling but they all want to do a full physical and want to charge up to 500 $

We had to talk and talk to convince one to just sign next week, but he wanted proof and all kinds of stuff.

They are also talking about the need to do a TB test.

Call me stupid, but that would have shown up on the long x-ray is my idea....

LOL, thought we would have it a bit easier by now.

Anyway, for all of you....

Hi everyone!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Peet - I've had the same trouble as you....but I've not been lucky enough to find one that will just sign the paperwork. Pat and I are going to just send in the AOS forms with the DS3025 (i think that's the right form number)...it's the vaccination record he was given at the medical. We've been told by a LOT of people that they just sent that and had no issues and got approved. If we don't have to spend the money on a doctor to fill out the I-693 then we aren't going to. If we get an RFE requesting one THEN we'll go have it done but honestly I don't think that will happen. We'll see though...lol!

Thank you for the gorgeous greetings...which one of your babies is that??? Soooooooooo pretty!

Lindsey - Glad to see you back safe and sound!!! Can't wait to see the wedding pics!!!!

Hugs, Liz

Hey all, hope you had a great x-mas. It was great to celebrate it together with husband and son.

Besides that, I have been spoiled beyond believe.

But than, Jack told me I was easy since I have a hobby that is easy to buy for.

The girl on the card is Cara, she is the youngest and I adopted her from Spain 1.5 years ago. She is doing great besides the fact that she doesn't like the cold, like her 5 year older Spanish sister, but than, she has a nice thick coat...

We do need to get a civil surgeon (tomorrow morning) since Dennis didn't have all vaccines.

I hope it all goes ok, but they sure look like vultures :angry:

I'll let you guys know how it went.
