Hey Everyone,

Our visa journey has been at a grinding hold since April because of *scoff* Wells Fargo Bank. But Now :dance: *does the visa dance* we've hopped back aboard this visa train and have that BLOODY! checklist sent back in after 3 months.

:dance: So So happy :dance::innocent: I pray we don't hit anymore obsticals but with our luck this is just the first of a long line of them. Well its like the 2nd after the RFE knocked us for 4 months :wacko:

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

I'm sorry to hear about the delay? i'm not aware of what happened, do you have a link so I can fill myself in?

CONGRATS :dance:

Joey

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

10/07/2006 WEDDING DAY!

11/14/2006 AOS packet made it to 'the box' after being overnighted.

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

02/28/2007 Paul gets email letting us know his GREENCARD is on it's way! It's done...for now!

03/09/2007 Paul's greencard arrives. And breathe...

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement. Glad to be back! Where's that sweetie trolley? I want some jolly ranchers imported from the States to tie me over till I get back hehe...

Joey, can't find the thread but here's a brief.

Dec we recieved RFE, they had changed their requirements right in the middle of our process so we had to send recorrected photos (when the requirements changed from 3/4 view to full frontal), and our explaination of how we met wasn't enough on the question so it took it 4 months to gain as much information as we could to get a solid case on our relationship. Most of the delay was due to trying to obtain letters from the travel agent, wish charity, van rental etc it took them quite a while to do that and our deadline was March 4th to get it all back in and I believe we managed to in feb. Then everything went very fast till we got Pkt 3 and hit the I-134 form NIGHTMARE! Andy is unemployed due to disability and is way below the requirements finationally so we have his mom as co-sponcer and they had a horrid time fighting with Wells Fargo Bank in stockton california. They could NOT understand the I-134 requirements they basically had to spell it out to them and they could not give them total amount deposited so he had to obtain every single one of his monthly bank statements and work it out himself (I really hope the Embassy don't have a prob with that) cos wells fargo just wouldn't co-operate. He then found out they don't notorize stuff either! so he had to make another appointment elsewere, more waiting. He ended up spending near 200 dollars which included notorizing, obtaining a years worth of bank statements, paying for a letter from his moms employer and gas to get to these appointments added up because they kept cancelling! *breathe*

:no: I swear he is leaving that bank !

You can visit our website (link in sig) for more updates, im redoing it just now so its a bit up in the air but the majority is there :)

Again VJ thanks for the support, I dunno what we'd of done without your advice....

Love hurts

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

WHEW! Oh my goodness! What a nightmare! Now that I know all that you've faced I can only say congratulations on getting back on that train and BIG BIG BIG thumbs up to you for more perseverance then most would ever have to THINK about showing.

I checked out your web site...you know those stories that you read and you just get this good feeling and you suddenly realizing your smiling and feeling really up just from reading how happy two people can make eachother? You have that kind of story.

Good luck with the rest of the process and God bless.
