We are going to live in DC, but my fiance's family is in Orlando and we'll spend quite some time there, probably have the wedding in FL too. :)

I live just outside of DC in Virginia. There's a lot of activities, but the rent and the traffic are horrible. It can take me 30 min to go 10 miles/16km on the exressway, and it costs $1500 (1100 Euro) a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. The cheap homes are $350,000 (259,000 Euros). Anyways, hope you enjoy DC. This is a place you either love it or you hate it.

Yes, we are just trying to find a place and were looking at the Arlington area - really nice, but freakin' expensive. Anything near the metro and a decent size costs a fortune :(

wow, more expensive then Paris ><

Im glad I left Paris 3 years ago to live in a peaceful village on the west coast lol. And I'm glad Drue doesn't live in a city, or I would make him move. I had health problem from the stressful life in Paris, don't wanna get back to that ><. He hates the cities too, that's 1 of the 1000 things we have in common lol.

I want that P4 now ><, wanna go there as soon as possible. Drue can't sleep cos of Elly. She keeps whining when she wanna go poopy. Well, he prefers to get up and take her out every 2 hours then to have to clean up her crate.

She's so cute tho :blush: . Drue told me that Mirra (the rotty) loves her little sis so much, and that they both try to play tricks on him. Like they both try to eat from each other's bowl. And when he goes in the kitchen, they make believe that they were sniffing the floor, then they look at him and smile :innocent:. omg soooo cute, and I'm missing all this :crying:

What exactly are you looking for? Typically Maryland will have the cheaper places, but the areas are not as nice as Virginia. Arlington, VA is the business district of DC. There are regulations that prohibit tall buildings in DC and Arlington is across the water, so all the tall buildings will be there. Arlington is one of the most expensive areas for apartment/condo living. I live out in Fairfax, VA. I used to live in Loudon County. Most people who own houses, will live in Fairfax or Loudon County. People who want yards and own land will live in Stafford County or near Fredricksburg. They have significant public transportation from all of those places to DC during rush hour. I don't know about the weekends. There's about a 20% markup on homes inside the beltway. If you look at homes near Fairfax City, VA you will be able to find nice homes in a nice area at a reasonable price, but you will need to own a car to drive to the metro. Ashburn, VA is getting a lot of new development, and the homes are very cheap for the area. However, it is about 30 min from a metro.

A lot of people will live in Baltimore, MD and then take a train into DC every morning.

That is great news, she'll also be in DC in no time! I sent you a PM about finding a place in DC - didn't want to bore all the Floridians :)

Anwesha - good job on the P3!! I found too, that the embassy people are very accomodating and patient :)

Good Morning all Novemberians :energy:

Congratulations on everyone that received their NOA2! We got ours on November 19th, and have been on a high since! Please check out the K1 forum, I posted a question on there, and nobody has answered it yet! It's called "Question on P3". Thanks for doing so!

By the way, has anyone received their P3 yet, and if so, how did it go? Filling it and sending it back I mean?

Well, good luck and thank you for answering the post mentionned above!

Cheers!

For our detailed K-1, AOS and ROC journey, see the "about me" page on our profile!
