VISA APPROVED

Freda · June 8, 2006

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO :dance:

I got the visa. I'll fill in the details when I get home. For those impatiently waiting to hear not mentioning names, yeah you Joel LOL . Sorry I took so long. But the had an issue with my sons K2. He didn't get it. But that's ok he is a US citizen :dance:

so I had to spend alot of time explaining and re-explaining why we hadn't did his report a birth abroad paper work. Which we had started but because I was legally married to my ex at the time of his birth (I was legally seperated before his conception) it had just taken until last summer for my ex to give me a divorce long story short he wanted to make life miserible and to stop me from marrying Mark. They wanted proof the baby was my US fiances son. I showed them what I had and all that and after a bit they figured it all out. So we have a few things to do as soon as I get back to get his a US birt cert and passport then register him here the next time we visit Canada. Oh heck if I went this far to explain I may as well fill in the rest. I got there at 8am and got number 5, so it was real quick but before I could even pay the fee I had to deal with the babies issues, so I ran from one window to the next. When I finally got to the actual interview part I got the usual sworn in routine and she asked me 3 questions have you ever been in trouble with the law in Canada, have you ever been in trouble with US customs, and have you ever been denied entry to the us and that was it she said well I'm approving your visa come back at 2:30 tomorrow and pick it up and then wanted to remind me once again to take care of the babies paper work asap. Have a great day and welcome to America. They didn't ask to see any of the prove of our relationship, no pictures or anything. They even gave me back the dvd we sent them with the original I-129 F of our sons dedication showing us together in front of our minister. And said you might like to have this back. And that was it. Everyone was wonderful and very patient considering I was so flustered from the issues with the baby I could barely speak and they interviewer had to wait on me to deal with that stuff. So it was a peice of cake. Just a little drama or should I say a bit of panick on my part wondering what would happen with it all because of my not being prepared to handle it today. Just thanking God I atleast brought along my divorce agrrement showing my ex wasn't the babies father and the babies birth certificate. OK that's enough for now anything else I think of I'll post later. Thank you all for your support and advise. 15 days and I'll be in the US planning our wedding. AUGUST 20th I'll marry my best friend and the most wonderful man in the world.

Congratulations, Freda!!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

I hope the birth certificate for your son gets sorted out quickly. I'm one of those US citizens born abroad (Bermuda) too, so my parents had to jump thru all those hoops.

(BTW, I lived in your neighboring province of Newfoundland for a few years in the 70's and would love to return for a visit to Canada's Atlantic provinces someday.)
