hey mrs. Palmer did you see that you and i are the only one who sent out applications in the K3 and CR1 time line link that have not received our NOA2 yet. I sent our paperwork out in September and we are still waiting.

Hey Rox...I saw that...and I'm trying not to think about it too much...but it does bother me. There's like one other guy waiting too...I hope we hear something soon...

This visa stuff sucks. I am tired of being treated as if we are second class because we decided t get married first, before we filed.

[Mrs. Palmer 5]

Hey Honey!

Let's see...I can't remember exactly how much I paid for our wedding at RIU, but I believe that I spent roughly $2000 (actually it was a little less). For that I got: upgraded wedding decorations, photographer (who did an excellent job), private reception which was beautifully decorated, champagne toast for everyone directly after the wedding (during pics--that was funny!), wedding coordinator, priest and marriage license completed. I had about 30 guests, and even though they were supposed to pay extra, they never did. They had access to the entire resort on the wedding day which was cool too. I think I got like 45 photos to take with me. They also let me put 10 of my favorite on a CD. They took over 200 photos, and I have access to them (I can have them all put on a CD and sent to me if I pay the extra fee), if I want. You could also pay extra for a videographer, but my friends and family had they're cameras so that wasn't needed. They really had great service and were really nice. don't know if that helps or not. Good luck on the planning!

((((((Hugs to Roxie))))))))

The good thing is you be in JA next week

The K-3 ain't no joke. I applaud you all for taking that route. I knew I couldn't handle leaving my husband over and over again. Stay strong

I feel your pain on this one Roxcie. Believe me I do. I believe this whole visa process is one of the true tests of "for better or for worse". It truly is about being steadfast in your love and in patience, and understanding and realizing that the love that you all share is worth the trials. That being said, I want them to hurry the eff up! I can't take it anymore!

Hey MrsLady! (waving)

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Mrs. Palmer I am with you....they need to hurry the f up. Now with all of that being said, why is it taking soooo long. I will be there next Thursday and I can't wait.

Thanks Shemmy

Hey...

Honey, having your wedding in Jamaica will be nice, but the hard part will e leaving him there when it's time to leave. Would I do it over this way again. HXLL to the NO,

[Ryon4life 0]

hey ladyd, i really want to take my son to JA too, i think he would enjoy the beach. my parents think that he may get kidnapped (they just saw the movie is man on fire). I agree my little piece of sanity!

i am glad you got the AOS mailed portland, that is one less thing to do after you start working...

OK honey, now you got me thinking about a wedding, my sister (parents paid) paid 3600 at sandals ochi, it was nice because she was stress free. two of my aunts got married at breezes in runaway bay and they paid about 700-1000 less then sandals. i wonder do D know people or places that would quote him a better price?
