That is one of the places he won in court. On my next vacation there I am going to get a license. The discounts with a HI license is great. Kind of the same in NV, you get deals places with the local license.

Speaking of NV, I'm trying to decide when the best time would be for me to go there. The launch schedule is quiet for June & July, but after that, I don't know what will happen. I need to take advantage of the lul while I can, plus I don't want to be away when we get into hurricane season, because I want to be here to take care of my house and truck! (Not because I like being here when there's a hurricane bearing down!) We actually got three days off last year because of the hurricanes. (I guess because we don't get snow days! )

3. According to your profile, you are filing for a K-1 at Chicago Lock Box. Those two things don't equate. K-1 filing should be either VSC or CSC (I think if you reside in AZ, it will be CSC).

Check. We initially discussed a K3...still had it on my mind.... CSC it will be.

I can attest to this site's help.... I did this kind of thing once in the past. Pre-IMBRA, different country... from mailing the I-129 to interview... 18 days.

Those were the days.....

Here's the latest email we got today from BKK embassy. Not very encouraging news for those of us queuing up to get our interviews scheduled.

Dear Khun xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

The IV Unit received your returned Packet 3 materials through the mail on April 8, 2009. Due to the large volume of applicants, the interview appointment will be scheduled after the IV Unit received the Packet 3 back in 6-8 weeks later. Once your interview date is set, we will notify you by mail.

Congrats... I think?

That's a long a$$ wait!!!

I think that is the standard reply of 6-8 weeks for an interview. I highly doubt it will take that long.

Nothing like setting the bar super low, so that it makes their metrics look good if they come in well under that time frame, huh?!

I'm still trying to learn that! My co-workers always kidding me that I haven't become a true civil servant, because I keep completeing my tasks as soon as I get them! (plus they don't want me make them look bad! )

Thanks Birchbeer, I guess that means we should be hopeful for next week.

Thanti mailed Packet 3 on April 3 EMS from Nana post office to the embassy on Wireless Road. That's about a mile. According to the EMS tracking information it was signed for at the embassy the same day April 3.

They're only recording it as arrived at the embassy April 8. Liars.

Anyway, from the 3rd to the 24th is 3 weeks. From the 8th to the 24th is a little over 2 weeks.

It would be kinda nice to get this show on the road....

Come on Ron... you know you love all the waiting!

A lot more waiting to come, but it's always better when you're waiting "together"!

That's what I'm figuring.... I mean, even if AOS or removing conditions takes forever, what difference does it make? We're already living our normal lives by that point. I can see AP&EAD being very important since she'll want to work and to travel. Robert, you're further along on this whole Journey thing so perhaps you can shed some light on whether the waiting for post-POE steps of the journey are as difficult as pre-POE.

I sent in my AOS paperwork almost 2 months ago and have yet to hear anything after the NOA's. To be honest though, the waiting is no big deal compared to the K1. So far it seems to be cake for the post-POE other then having to call weekly and talk to people and wonder why everyone else is getting Biometrics dates and we haven't. I am wondering if it is due to the fact that we filed 2 weeks after POE.

Damn. Nice shot!
