Hey Everybody,

Figured I should give an update on our visajourney.

Lara had her medical--Had to get a Gardasil shot... Didn't expect that! (Cervical Cancer is not contagious!)

Had her interview on Friday, April 3rd, 2009

EASY, 2 questions:

What does your husband do for a living?

&

How did you meet?

They didn't ask to see any of the photos or other proof she brought.

and that was it!

Only problem was her passport photos (she had to show her ears--something new I think)

They have a machine in the Frankfurt Embassy, so no worries.

Visa Approved!

She picked up her Visa yesterday! April 7th 2009

She could have got it a day sooner, but didn't have the time to drive to Frankfurt on Monday.

We bought her plane tickets in advance, so in 5 days Lara will be in the United States as a Permanent Resident! (Conditional, of course)

April 13th 2009!

One day before our 1-year Wedding Anniversary! :D

All together from the Notice of Action #1 till she picked up her Visa was 99 days!

Faster than I ever expected!

Now I have to clean the house before she gets home and kills me! hahaha

Congratulations and wish you both a happy reunion!
