Yesterday evening I got back to Pittsburgh. I've visited family and friends back home in Västerås. I had a wonderful time. Saw a bunch of people, ate some good food that I've missed (chicken with cash

Wow. It's been a long time since I posted here. But I have good news. It has been a long journey to get to the point where I am right now. On Sunday it was six years since my wife and I met in person

You flying SAS or Icelandair?

You live close to the airport?

I'm flying with Icelandair. They're cheaper. And I didn't feel like arriving in the middle of airport rush hour like SAS does. It's nicer to arrive in the evening when it's just a few flights coming in at the same time. Makes immigration feel almost empty :P

I'm about 45 min away :)

I'm gonna do the same as you then! (If I didn't screw it all up with my confusing emails to the embassy ?)

It's good that we have many different options so we can avoid the airport delays! :)

How long after you get your visa do you think you'll be heading over?

I think it's so cool how close so many of us are. We should have a meetup in D.C one day! Also, it's really funny to me how you and your fiancé met in Alexandria, which is where me and my fiancé had one of our first dates back in 2012 :D

Back to checking the CEAC page every 10 minutes. Today the visa changed to nonimmigrant visa, both dates changed to today's and the status says Administrative Processing. So that's good! My birthday's in 3 days so it would be the best present ever to have it issued before/on the day of :D

OMG IM FREAKING OUT ITS ISSUED!!!!!!


What does all those different therms mean ?

After your interview your CEAC status will change to "ready" and then to "administrative processes" which means that they are making sure all your documents are in order and preparing your package for you. Once it's issued, they have printed your visa and its on its way to your house!
