September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Ney 0]

She is officially out of Iran!!! Last email I got was from Amsterdam!

We are central standard time. Iran is 9 1/2 hours ahead, Amsterdam 7 hours ahead, and DC is 1 hour ahead. She is moving back in time and the flight times are just so crazy to look at. She should be in DC around 4:00 PM today (my time). My son has been scrubbing toilets with a smile, I never thought in a million years I'd see that! She will spend the night with my inlaws, get some much needed rest (She has been traveling since around 6:00 AM yesterday morning (my time), starting with a 7 hour rode trip.), and she will be home tomorrow around noon.

It's all so surreal!

Wow, that's amazing. Karen's honey is coming today, so happy for both of you

On another note, came up with a great idea for the cake. I want a heart shaped cake with diamonds arounds it but look at this one!

This is the cutter I want to use but I'm waiting on the seller to let me know if the cutter is deep enough for the cake to be upright or it has to lay flat, either way it doesn't matter to me because this looks like it'll be a wonderful cake

I know we will all breath better when they get home safe and sound!

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

no computer, unless I luck out and they have some there or i can find a cafe ..lol.. Kayla gave me her # and mathews though..so! You should receive some updates.

Fuat's idea of doing the wedding at home sounds PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFECT!!! i LOVE it!!!

the I-134 I need..mailed..from Kenyth because we realized it needed the original signature not electronic..... still not here yet...it has to arrive tomorrow..it has to.... right.. *eats chocolate...* right? *eats more chocolate* OH MAN

OK.. I am catching up on mulitple days, so this may be answered already and I haven't seen it yet.. DID YOU GET THE PAPERS IN TIME????????

I think your interview is today isn't it?????? By now it is over, so hoping to read some good news soon.

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

Jenn, I love the whole getting married at home idea. That's what we would have done if we didn't go for the whole beach wedding thing. But I'm confused about what you said with the 30 days to get the license. I'm pretty sure you get the license the day you apply for it. the 30 days refers to how long until it gets back to you after it gets signed by everyone (at the wedding) and submitted back to the county clerk.

Apologies if i misunderstood you...

You understood me perfectly.. I am the one who misunderstood and yes, we were given the license the same day. The web page suggested applying for it 30 days prior to the wedding, so that is why I thought there was a delay.

On a brief update.. DMV did not go well. He knows EVERYTHING, but there were some words he didn't understand on the test ( like Pedestrian).. he missed passing the test by ONE question and they wouldn't give him word definitions. Really sucks, but he will take it again. I did have to EDUCATE the DMV staff on what an I129F was.. because they had only seen an I129 and they didn't want to accept our 797 notice ( or whatever the NOA2 is called) as secondary evidence because it was expired. Had to point out to them that it was one of the forms listed on their papers as acceptable as evidence of legal right to be in the country.. and that EVERYONE using this form would have an expired form. Spent a lot of time explaining the whole process and what the hell the form was and how it was not possible for him to be in the country without the form being expired, etc.

We applied for the Soc card, BUT I had to EDUCATE the SSA rep on k1 visas and that they were allowed to apply for the social security card.

I have spent a lot of time EDUCATING government officials on what exactly a K1visa is and all the forms that go along with it :)

OH!!!! I have chills and am so happy thinking this will all be over for your family soon. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Krystal, I love the cake....

KAREN!!! HURRAY HURRAY HURRAY!

I saw your post about only have to sleep without your honey for two more days... Fuat has only been here two weeks and I have almost completely forgotten what it was like to wake up without him. It is really a wonderful feeling to have it be so "normal" to have him there. I am so happy for you.. happy for Ney and her family.. happy for all of us.

Maggie, I just read another post and realize your interview is not today.. I don't know why I thought it was April 2nd. Was someone else today???? I wouldn't think so, since it's Good Friday and they consulates are probably closed.. but you never know.

Well.. for all you coaster lovers... we opened the park today and we opened a brand new coaster. Our companies CEO was in the park today and made me get on it... BEST DARN COASTER EVER. I swear I almost blacked out. If you like coasters get yourself down to Kings Dominion. There's no other coaster like this one... it's amazing.

Ney I would love to take on the task of attempting to bake it by myself but I would need help and I won't get it from my family since they all think I'm nuts to even think of baking my own cake but I'm determined and will research how to do it. Saw the cutters on ebay for less than $6!!!

Karen, what are you doing to keep yourself occupied until he comes? I was at work so time flew for me.

Jenn her interview is the 8th.

WOW!! That's ashame. I had to do the same thing with SSA and when I went to apply for the marriage license. They have never heard of the K-1. The pastor that's marrying us wants a copy of the NOA2 because he doesn't believe the k-1 exists!! I went to DMV and they told us we didn't have 6 points but now I noticed the NOA2 is on there, going back monday and see what they say. Does your state DMV has the 6 point thingy as well?

Well Jenn.........................................................While I would love to come to VA and get on a few coasters, I'm almost 2 weeks late and I don't think pregnant women can ride coasters

[paciencia y fe 2]

Karen, what are you doing to keep yourself occupied until he comes? I was at work so time flew for me.

I'm at work too, so I'm hoping it will occupy me...but also I am hoping to leave early because i still want to try to get some things done before he comes...I have to buy some breakfast food, order groceries, make copies of keys, buy a couple of bathroom things, clean the toilet and bathroom floor, hang a new shower curtain...aaaahhh!!

Well Jenn.........................................................While I would love to come to VA and get on a few coasters, I'm almost 2 weeks late and I don't think pregnant women can ride coasters

OMG, this is what you wanted, right? I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!
