God, I hope that's somewhat accurate. Ummm....So, I think this process is putting a strain on my social skills-aside from the fact that I hardly ever go out with friends anymore, I've been catching myself referencing all of you and VJ more and more frequently Oops.... Probably NOT interesting to anyone else. Also-just found out one my co-workers went through K-1 process 8 years ago (she met her husband while studying abroad as well and they are still happily together), and it only took them 4 months from the day they mailed the package off to POE. That was all before 9/11, etc, etc, but I'm ridiculously jealous.

Four months!? that would be awesome! I bet reqular tourist visa's were much more easier to get back then as well. Damn you 9/11.

Damn you 9/11.

"Can we please stop the 9/11 bashing?"

As you can tell, I am bored and refreshing my browser/email every 2 minutes in case NOA2 notice appears.

So let's see what is next in USAGROOM'S BIG BOOK OF MARRIAGE QUESTIONS. Ah, a good one:

Are you planning a honeymoon (if so where/when, if not why)?

Ditto that.

Oh-and are we playing "the most annoying questions you receive while waiting for NOA2/visa?"

If so, here's my contribution. "Have you set a date yet?"

Oh no you don't, no answering a question with a question. And no peeking at USAGROOM'S BIG BOOK OF MARRIAGE QUESTIONS.

BTW, another China Apriller NOA2:

CONGRATS wags296!

Alright, I'll start. Yes we are planning a honeymoon but ours will be after she gets the visa and before we go to the USA. We are going to Hong Kong for a decadent three-day weekend!

[attaya_girl 1]

OH, ok. I get the game.

Yeah-I saw that approval. Thank god. I was getting antsy the past few days.

Uncertain about the honeymoon. Probably not this year. We may take a belated honeymoon next year, but I am saving all my vacation time for flying over there to go to the interview and for a week or so of helping him adjust when he first gets here. So, no. When we do go, though, we'll probably have to stay fairly close to home for financial reasons. Maybe the Oregon coast....

ooooo-I just read your reply, usagroom. That's a great idea! Maybe Lamine and I will hide out in some little beach town with warm, white sand and palm trees

This is where we are planning on going, Sharp Mountain in Hong Kong, on the beach!

I am trying to pretend our daytrip to Bath, England this september will serve as a pre-honeymoon! Other than that, James and I will have to take a belated honeymoon. I'm not sure where we'll sneak off to for a weekend in the middle of winter in Alaska after we get married though I'm sure we'll go somewhere!

We got another touch today, sadly I'm really hoping to get an RFE today, at least then I could be productive and get documents together!

Can you see Russia from your house?

No touch or mail today yet.

Sadly, I had a bad dream about getting not just an RFE but a complete denial. In the nightmare I was hurrying around from counter to counter at this big government building while my girl was crying and no one would tell me why I was denied. Now I think this was a sign that an RFE is coming my way.

ooh thats a really pretty place usa! We probably won't be having a honeymoon for quiet awhile as we're using up most of Wes's vacation time to drive me home and get stuff set up. We may or may not do something after our bigger ceremony/reception....if we aren't totally broke, but if we are then I'm thinking we might goto Florida in 2011, as I would love to go back to Disney World (last time I was there my ex's mom made us do all 4 parks in 1 day, didn't get to see a think) and the new Harry Potter part of Universal Orlando...hopefully it will be open by then.

for the game of most annoying questions "so when are you moving?"

"Has he started packing his bags yet?" (yes, a day in advance, maybe.. but 60+ days?)

"Has he started applying for jobs?" (one thing at a time, please)

Happy weekend, people!
