July 2009 Filers

Speaking of sitting on your bum.. Anyone know of any airline sales? I heard Virgin Atlantic was going on sale but it doesnt seem to have. One awesome thing I've been thinking about is UK to an eastern city like New York and Boston. THEN a $99 one way ticket from NYC or $154 from Boston.. courtesy Jet Blue!! Anyone else have any ideas about getting the tickets for cheap?

I don't know what airport he lives by in the UK, but I would try and see if icelandair will work for you. I just traveled with them and we saved hundreds of dollars using them I've never used them before but was refered to them by another VJ member and were very happy with the airline company. I have no clue what airport he needs to arrive at, but they offer quite a few at their webpage. I got a one way trip - Norway-Seattle - for 276 GBP ($443) Don't know if it'll work for you guys, but it's worth checking out! Think they're offering departures from London, Glasgow, Manchester.

Congrats to everyone on the progress and Happy New Year! I know I have been MIA for the past month, but all of you have been in my thoughts and I come by and read the threads to see how my adopted family is doing. I just did not want to come and share my bad news, and my whining. On the positive note we submitted the required documents this week, and now we just wait for the consulate to give us hopefully a positive answer and can get his visa. They even extended our petition, and I don't know if the letter I mailed them directly to the consulate helped us. Please keep us in your prayers so I too can reunite with my fiance soon. Missed you guys, but I am so happy to see that you all progressed so well.

Star

Oh thats great star that they extended it for you! Youre in my thoughts and hopes that everything else goes smoothly. You've gotten what they asked so everything should be ok.

The way im saving money on Damos ticket is to buy a direct from Melbourne to LAX, then buying a seperate ticket to Seattle. Plus the straight from melb, lax to seattle didnt have enough time in Lax for his poe incase it took longer than excpected. Im flying down to meet him in LA and to keep him company if his poe goes fast then flying home with him. We were going to stay the weekend there but have a weddding to pay for lol.

Jewel I know its tough, Damo is not coming until the end of March. He wants to be able to enjoy his time he cant work and have a stash of money in the bank lol. He has plenty to keep him busy, we have been writing a childrens book for the last 2 years, so he is going to work hard on that until he is forced back into the corporate advertising world lol.

Im so happy for everyone!

Yay! Dave's mom received ours earlier today too. Now I have no government agencies to harass.

i went on kayak and that airline was the cheapest by far.. im flying out of april the 7th with them and the best thing is they fly to iceland first so i dont have to worry about time taken when i enter to get through etc...

The airport in Iceland is small, so it's easy to navigate from one plane to the other - which was great. I can do nothing but recommend them, both due to price and overall experience with them

So how's everyone doing?? It seem quiet in here - we had a huge computer crash and had to reformat so we've been out of the loop for a few. My boy had his first day at school today and even though he does not speak too much english yet, he had a good time at school. All is well and we're busy planning our wedding, good stuff!! How about everyone else??

I think our packet made it to Frankfurt today. It seems like we are the last of the July filers still waiting for an interview date. I know it will be a short wait from here on.

Great news! It probably means you will get an interview date pretty soon, it must be such a relief to you guys I know you have been waiting for such a long time, but it will be soon forgotten once you're finally with Marina and can start your new lives together, you know. Let us know as soon as you hear something back from Frankfurt.. remember you can often call them up and get the interview date before the beneficiary even receives the P3 letter - at least we did

It looks like I have my dates wrong. They mailed P3 on January 8th so Marina should get it any day. As you know it has been a long journey for us as it was for all of us and I know it will soon be over. If all goes well I am planning a trip in mid March to go over and escort her back.

I am glad that things are going well for you!!

Great news from everyone Iowa, don't feel too bad. I may have received NOA2 sooner, but I'm still waiting for an interview date. This is all but killing me, which may happen soon too. We've planned to marry April 9th, but it's not looking too good. I've got all our friends and family asking when we'll know so the can begin booking travel, but I have no clue. It's becoming so stressful. All I can tell them is if it works out and you can afford to attend with short notice, great. Otherwise, it's too bad, but we completely understand. Oh well. What more can you do? Not a damn thing. Rant over. Congrats to eveyone who's SO's are here. Congrats to those who have married...Yay! Congrats to those who have approved interviews with visa in hand or on the way, and congrats to those with pending interviews. It will all be over for us soon too, I hope i was thinking last night, and I can't wait to read about our expecting new additions to our families. That may not be too far off for some

Wonderful news!! I am so happy for all three of you - I know what it's like for the little ones not to have their dads with them. I am sure you'll have a great reunion. Here's for a safe flight for him and speedy days ahead until you meet again

No more goodbye's, that's so awesome

I have a question. The checklist says not to send any of the documents she needs to collect to the consulate. The Ds 156k says to attach birth certificate, divorce, death, financial support, etc. does all of this go to the consulate attached to the Ds156k or are they taken to the interview?
