Colorado is so pretty. And Just wait until spring giggles if you think the snow is pretty Washington DC is beautiful in the spring! I live on Puget Sound across from seattle. Living on the water is amazing here, and i have a clear view of the Olympic mountains. After three years of this I still look out my window and just gaze lol. Washington state has ruined me on living anywhere else in the US, dont think ill ever move away from here. Told Damo that we will have to keep a house here and one in Aus lol. Wait til the australian dollar goes back down to .50 to 1.00 american and go buy a house over there for half the price, hehe.

Just got a huge tax return myself, yay for having kids. So that covers the wedding, AOS and the time Damo will have off work. Hardest part will be in making myself go to work everyday after he is here next month. Only 6 weeks til he gets here!

That's what my fiance tells me too. I can't wait til spring and see everything come back to life. Wow it sounds like it would be a beautiful place to live where you are.

Oh no! I hope your foot is better by Saturday and you have no more little accidents before or on Saturday. Didn't you do the same thing just before your visa interview? Is everything set for your big day? I bet you are sooooo excited!

OK I have a question, we are preparing everything for when packet 3 gets here so it is a fast turnaround back to the embassy. The visa fee we pay at Australia Post I know has to be in cash or bank cheque, they told me that when I was sending a parcel to Eric the other day...but what I am wondering do I pay it twice for myself & my daughter or is she covered on mine? I only ask because Eric is wanting to send one huge payment through paypal to cover our medicals & the visa fee.

That's a really good qn which I don't know the answer to sorry I believe it will be on your form though for P3 when it arrives.

Without going back to check, how old is your daughter? Maybe I can look it up if I know how old she is

I wasnt sure if anyone would know because everyone else has not done the child thing for immigration lol. She will be 13 in two weeks (EEEK!) We have been looking and I asked at the Post Office but they were not sure.

On this page http://canberra.usembassy.gov/consular/visas/iv/fees.html it says:

"K1, K2, K3 & K4 Applicants

The new fee is US $131.00 Applicants who paid the prior US $100 before January 1, 2008, will be processed only if they are scheduled and appear for a visa interview before January 31. Applicants who paid the prior US $100 application fee and appear for the visa interview after January 31, 2008 must pay the difference — US $31.00 before they can be interviewed."

So it looks like it's an "each" fee. Wait until you get P3 but if he send you too much it doesn't really matter too much I think. The reason I tell you to wait is because while the fee is US$131, it DOESN'T depend on the current currency exchange. Your letter will tell you exactly how much you need to pay and it's based on whenever they sent the letter.. but even then it's only updated monthly apparently so you won't know how much it is till the letter comes.

Good luck! Getting so close!
