September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Ney 0]

Ney I'm still not sure but I'll let everyone know as soon as I find out.

She was picked up at the airport? I thoughtbshe was staying at your inlaws? Anyhow congratulations tol you and your family again and it sounds like you have an exciting week ahead of you! Have fun!

I know at one point you'd expressed a desire for a baby, so I hope you get your wish.

She arrived at my sister-in-laws on Friday with my brother-in-law then she spent the evening with them in DC, Then flew to Memphis Saturday where we picked her up from the airport. The only reason we did all of this is because her mom wanted her escorted, an my brother-in-law was already schedule to be in Dubai on business and when he goes there he usually flies to Iran to visit his family too. It worked out for all of us.

Ney I'm so happy for you that she's here!!!

And Krystle might not be the only one expecting a bump. I'm a little late too.

Going to work on our website today and get it somewhat running if it kills me.

Maggie just sent me another update. Her I-134 is in customs and she called Canada Post and was told that it was hard telling when it would be released and if they don't have it for delivery tomorrow morning they wont let her pick it up either. So basically, Canada Post has to get it before delivery tomorrow morning or Maggie is screwed.

OMG Kayla!!! THAT IS SOOO WONDERFUL!!!

I am sooo happy for you guys!!!!

Come on Canada Post!!! A postman somewhere has to come through for Maggie!

I'm going to wait another week or two before I take a test. It could just be all the stress we've been under because of the interview and now his visa(which has still not arrived), but I'm feeling a little different than I was before. It's hard to describe...but just different. I guess we'll know soon.

Good luck Maggie! I just know everything is going to work out and be there on time. I wish Canada Post was more reliable though.

Maggies documents have cleared customs and if they make it to Canada Post by 8pm tonight she should have them in the morning.

She's almost in the home stretch!

WHAAATTTT????????????? :):)

Lots of little VJ babies might be running around ??? I love it...

OH MAN..... I am praying for this one. I can't believe this

hey jenn, are you around? just noticed you are not on facebook anymore. what happened? hope all is well...

OH, I HOPE HOPE HOPE everything works out alright for Maggie. I am getting stressed just reading about it.

Yes.. I am still here. I shut down my facebook, because I logged in the other day and a bunch of messages had been SENT from my account.. all written in Cyrillic Alphabet. I did not write them.... I came back to Facebook today and it happened again about an hour later, so I deactivated it again and have contacted Facebook. I am hoping I am not going to have to create a new profile. That would be a big pain.

A brief update... the "transition" from Turkey to the USA is not going as easily as we had hoped. I cannot imagine coming here if I had NEVER been out of my own country.. and going from one extreme culture to another. We'll be ok.. but it's been a rough two weeks and we keep having bad things happen... one minute we're happy and everything is fine.. and the next.. something happens that upsets him or me.. or both...

and we are having difficulties about my cat. He doesn't like animals living in the house.. she's a pampered baby and has NO claws at all, so I can't even let her outside. It's been a sore spot..truth is I don't want to have to choose between him and my "baby" of 15 years.. but I am not sure he can adjust to her.. not sure he can adjust to this country. So.. my waiting game has not ended... even with him here, we are still playing "wait and see"

But I don't want to make it all sound negative. It's not.. I just wish we could have one good day without a failed drivers test, or manager at work treating him like an idiot, or cat jumping on the counter in the kitchen and freaking him out, or homesickness, or anything.. just one day that goes well, with no issues, would be a blessing. We have a wonderful time together, but he needs a little less stress right now...

Maggie.. holding my breath for you.. Kayla and Krystle.. I'm knitting baby things ( and I don't know how to knit)

Ney.. how is your daughter-in-law adjusting? I know she and Fuat come from similiar cultures, and hers is even more strict than his. Is she ok? Overwhelmed??? Surviving??

[brightskte 18]

Jenn you just have to give him time to adjust a bit. He's scared and has never been out of his home country. I know you're being your awesome self and being all patient right now for him, and I know it will be hard. Just know that we're all rooting for you.

Oh, and I know that there's a website where people can order things from Canada that we can't get in the US, but maybe there' something like that for Turkey too? Might be something worth looking into and it would probably make him feel less homesick.

[brightskte 18]

Okay, so I actually did find a website like that. www.tulumba.com

One of the March 30th interviewees got their visa in the mail today. Ugh....why can't anything ever be simple for me? I mean, Mathew lives in LAVAL, LAVAL! It is seriously less than 10 minutes away from Montreal yet it's been 2 weeks and they've not sent it. :ranting: :ranting:

Yea I am hoping for a baby but lets see what happens, this time being lkate feels different though, as if I know deep down that I am...
