I found a STEAL on a flight for Yazied... Im excited but trying hard not to book it until his visa is IN HAND

Awesome.....Go ahead and block the flight if possible.

Be BRAVE got ahead and book it.....the Visa is a done deal anyways :P

lol ya.

I was talking to a girl at work and saying my luck would be that the visa package would be late or put in administrative Amramex processing :P

I say book it.... the longer you wait, the more expensive they get. Flight prices can change by the minute. Who knows.... maybe they are like every other government office and tell you 2 weeks when they really only take 1 week. Kinda like the NVC saying it takes 2-4 weeks for the papers to get to them frm the USCIS....

My flight went up right after I booked it... Then again... you aren't on a tight schedule so you have time to search...

Ya I checked the price for a flight booked one week from now and its the same price. Royal Jordanian doesnt really change their flight prices, only by the season and they dont charge an arm and a leg for flights booked late. Perhaps that will save me :P I always nut the F up booking flights afraid they will go up or down...Im like that chick on the orbitz commercial who has to go to therapy so she'll commit to the deal :lol:

I need to ask Yazied what he thinks, if I get the blessing then I'll go for it

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Hello family :P

DS 230 Accepted

Waiting for NVC to review and fix the $crewup with IV bill before CASE COMPLETE :ranting::angry:

Now that I know the DS230 and AOS have been accepted...starting tomorrow I am going to pressure NVC and let them know they are hold me back, because of their system $crewup...which they promised would not be an issue :devil:

Definitely pressure a supervisor into working on it for you! I agree abt the whole hanging up business. First time it happened hubby said to calm down and let it go but I told him if it happened again I would not let it go again, that's for sure!! :angry: This one's for u twinie :protest:

He he thanks for the tune :) So has Tucho finished filling out his forms? Which ones did u guys have to do? DS 156, 156k, DS 157 and I 134?

Good Morning everyone!!!

GS - I was just busy these past few days. Feeling so anxious about the interview. Hope you would be out of AP soon. :wacko:

Hey Candid, thanks :luv: I can't believe ur interview is almost here!! If we don't c u till then GOOD LUCK IN ADVANCE! :star::star::star:

Hello Everyone!!! Its going to be hit and run for me, as I'm trying to wind down stuff at work, and finish the coverletter for my phone bills.

So I have 12 months of phone bills that are add up to 400 pages back and forth for my cell phone:) And then another 40 pages for the online service that shows all the calls I made to my wife. Do I need to highlight each and every call I made to my wife on the phone bill?

I will keep everyone posted on the outcome of the interview next week. I can't believe it's a week from today. :wacko:

HEHEHE Que, it seems u have evidence overload. Wifie will be just fine! Relax and enjoy ur reunion!! :wub: And good luck on the interview. U know I have to send u away with some karma stars right?? :star::star::star:

Lis, hubby will most likely fly on RJ too :) He's been playing around with the dates for June and found deals for about $800. How much is the one u found? Can they still put u in AP even though they said u will get ur visa in 2 weeks?? :unsure: So not cool!! :ranting:

I might highlight the last couple of months, the only problem is that the access number I dial is to fairfaxs, CA. That number connects me to my wife in India. So I can only highlight the access number from my cell phone bill, and then I have printout from the service that connects me saying which number I called in India. The service bills are 99% her cell phone number, with some sprinkles of calls to my extended family in India.

My wife rarely calls me, since when she calls she sounds like she is in a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. So she will give me a missed call, and then I call back. Isn't that a great system :P

I have to pick out a few greeting cards tonight and then im DONE packing, and with this Visa stuff!!!!

Serendipity - Don't worry, I won't be going anywhere!!! I will definitely report back once I find out and can get to a computer :)

30 hours to my flight!!!!!!!!!
