OK Everyone...here is the scoop.

She went to the interview checked her phone at the desk and went up. They called her to the window and asked for her papers. She gave them everything on the list, which did not include evidence of on-going relationship. they took her papers and made her wait for 45 mins. Then called her in again and asked her a few questions.

Where did you meet?

When did you spend time together?

Was he ever married?

How old is his daughter?

Will you work?

Then told her everything was in order and very good. Come back tomorrow at 10 am for passport with visa.

It took about 2 hours. They even had the papers from the USCIS, from the approval submittal.

Easy as pie if everything is in order!

Congrats Derek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I guess next week is going to be a GREAT one. HUNKY PUNKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love IKEA as well. I got my bedroom set there and a lot of the knick knacks in my hose are from there too. I don't have many pictures on the walls though and apparently thats what makes my house look empty according to Oksana. I told her that is going to be her job when she first gets here. That way she'll have something to do while we wait for work authorization. Since I have directv w I am going to get the Russian channels for her to avoid homesickness. WHat are you guys doing to combat homesickness for your SO?

Lee, take my word for it: avoid RU tv at all costs. It is disgusting rubbish that is made in the US under "RU TV" idea. Has little to do with actual RU tv and it is just pathetic! If I were you, get her some spectacular channels like Discovery and likes.

I'm actually starting to feel fortunate that we don't have any household items or things of our own yet! We each have a laptop to our name and loads of cds.. that's about it! It will be great to look for the apartment together and pick out little household things like couches and dishware.. It's so exciting to think about! I think Craigslist will be a wonderful investment of our time for the first few months.. hehe.

Craigslist is a great resource!!! And I've heard IKEA is a good place as well!

Ooo IKEA is nice too, lots of fun and affordable furniture. IKEA from craigslist would be ideal.. Seattle is a big college and to be honest... tree hugger environment.. there will be lots of things to choose from on used-but-new-to-me furniture.

Do not get anything from IKEA! Their stuff is JUNK! Hit your local craigslist and keep your eyes open for yard sales/estate sales. You can scoop out really good furniture for best to nothing. My family's friends got all of their antique furniture from yard sales. It will last and outlast your kids, but do not buy stuff from ikea!!!

Well, I would not agree with that entirely. *Some of their most basic stuff is pretty much junk, but some of their stuff is rock solid too...
