Walked out of the Vancouver consulate with the VISA in my hand and the sealed envelope that says DO NOT OPEN!! All very relieving after being extrememly exhausted and freaking out with the interview on Tuesday, medical on Wednesday and an interviewer who was not at all pleasant!!!

Anyways I am waiting for my flight back home and I think this calls for a few hhhummhumm *cough*....beverages....!! I was ALL smiles after 2:45pm this afternoon!! Nothing is going to bring me down!

Now to start planning the final details of the wedding that is coming up sooner than later!! :dance::D:dance::jest:

Congrats!

the sealed envelope = yummy popcorn inside :jest: resist the urge to get at it...

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
