It's been 26 days since my interview...

I have emailed the Consulate 3 times in the past 3 weeks about our case status updates.. We've been under 'Consular Final Review' for two weeks now.. DOS says the same thing.. Not sure when the final review should be over...but I'm praying it's soon...

When I first came here I was so surprised it rains but is still hot and humid!! I got used to it now. I find Florida hotter than Cairo because it's humid, Cairo is dry. Yesterday we went swimming for

Huggggggggggsssssssssssss AYA and JOHN!! your spirit is high your hopes have no boundaries!! Keep on em girl you can do this!!

I've not been in here for so long took me an hour to get caught up!! lol. I'm glad to see everyone is getting by. Life in Austin is beyond happiness. I'd say deliriously wonderful. To all who've been approved Congrads! To those in limbo.. God Speed!!

John and I get Married in 2 weeks (1-23-10). We went yesterday and got the Social Security card (it's free in case your wondering) - needed his Birth Certificate and Passport only. Bear in mind, the people in Georgetown, TX do not give the Social that day (not sure about others, would assume the same). They said they have to "clear it in the database" which takes a day, but we arent driving all the way back there to get it, we will wait for it to come in the mail (average 10 business days). We then headed to the District Clerks office for the Marriage License.. basically same documents for him, mine just my Drivers license, no blood tests required in Texas. We hav ea pretty one for the officent to sign, then he will mail to the clerks office, record iot and send original to us.

We have to wait 72 hrs to get married and marry within 30 days (so 27 days really??) lol. Love the State departments!!

Update on my sister, while she is still too weak to travel her white cell count remains unchanged (not good), but she gained 6 pounds (good), but the cancer is more defined (not good) in her kidneys. I am positive that all the support from my friends and family (online and in real time) have helped in her being able to be with us a little longer. I'm afraid she wont make it to the wedding (4 hour drive), but she will get a videography, professionally done by a cameraman who works for Regent Cinemas!! Weeeee!!

Next steps after wedding, file for AOS, EAD and AP... You guys are the best. John and I wish you all happy lives together and pain free processes.
