Well... in this case I am actually glad to have them done. Normally I don't get them done until October... but since I need them for the I-134, I did them sooner this year. I used to do my own taxes, but they have gotten too complicated and time consuming for me, so I let the account/tax advisor deal with them now. For me it is a few thousand dollars WELL spent.

I assume that you couldn't take your walk because of the rain?

Good ...after noon now!

I'm trying to get all my affidavit documents and support papers ready too. I'm using my Mother as a Co-sponsor for the affidavit; Has anyone heard of certain consulates not allowing for co-sponsors!? I read that the Manila Consulate doesn't allow it so now am worried a bit.

I might suggest you post this in the regional forum to get better answers. Having said that, the countries that I have read that do not except cosponsors are mostly 3rd world countries... but I would confirm that Greece is ok... surely they are....

I emailed the Greek Consulate and within 9 hours recieved an email concerning the co-sponsor ability! I am able to have co-sponsor, phew.

And wow... I've always heard such bad things about filing things in Greece and the Bureaucracy inhibiting any sort of quick reply. Now I'm wondering about that statement as I've PAID for the k-1 to be processed and have no idea what the status is.

Thanks Richard.

I like to research aspects of the visa then get worried about it for no reason.

I think most of us, if not ALL of us obsess over these things... I know for me, I think that one little screw up could delay the whole process by a very large amount of time... so I understand!

Holy moly....a few THOUSAND to have them done??? good grief! hehe!

Yep..but fingers crossed...it's sunny now so looking good for my 1:15 break!

I hear you. I have been trying to keep it as positive as possible lately. We are ready for packet 3 and its only a matter of time before we start seeing our approvals.

i hope so lee. but i was wondering if anyone is getting by mail because it seems to be two weeks behind. we are on the 27th already and people from the 13th are still getting the approvals in the mail. sot that means last week and this week are yet to come. as far as i see. i meani can be wrong. Maybe they will cometo our mailbox soon. but i am in brazil right now and haven´t had a chance to go to my mailbox.
