over here one way it more expensive than a return ticket

Europe seems to be the only place a round-trip is less expensive than 1 way for some reason...

Got 'P3' today...

Hey folks - happy belated Easter I went home to see my mum and stepdad and took a few days off from technology!!

Grrr! Hold out, dear! Maybe we should get Jess to send the French consulate some... coffee and croissants (instead of the bagels we used for the VSC folks)? And while we're at it, let's ship 'em off to Nigeria, Egypt and London so those folks all get it in gear as well.

Hehehe, as it happens I'm in Paris May 7-9 so maybe I'll turn up on the embassy doorstep with some coffee and croissants - the boulangerie across the road from my old studio in Courbevoie did some seriously good croissants, I reckon it'd be easy bribery

Hi guys! Yesterday we were finally reunited!!!! It is such a great thing to finally be together, and start a normal life again. :)

Thank you for all your nice words, I am really rooting for all of you to be here (or have your loved one here) very soon!

Woohoo!!! One of us has made it....I will work on my graduation list later, work's a little crazy at the mo

I am heading down to London tonight - medical at 10:10 tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed!!

Happy Easter to you too, with all this waiting, we skipped wishing each other Happy Easter

If I don't get my P4 this week, there won't be any french embassy anymore

Woohoo!!! One of us has made it....I will work on my graduation list later, work's a little crazy at the mo

I am heading down to London tonight - medical at 10:10 tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed!!

Woohoo! Congrats on that P3 and hope you had an excellent birthday last week! Glad that things are all back on track now!

We will probably have a quick wedding as soon as possible and have an unofficial ceremony a bit later. I would really hate to plan something in a rush, but the health care thing is an issue for me too, so we'll make it official fast. Plus I also want to file for AOS as soon as possible, so by the time y'all get there I'll be the resident expert

Anwesha - I came with a round trip ticket because it was a third (!) of the price of a a one way. At POE, they didn't even look at my ticket or ask about it. The officials in Vienna did, but I explained and they understood and wished me a happy life in the US.

On the customs form upon entering, I declared my personal stuff (clothes, electronics, etc), as they specifically ask about artifacts that will stay in the US. There was no problem with it, but the customs official did not seem to understand why I checked it. (I did just to make sure there will be no issues with it.) Then again, they were preoccupied with my handful of dogfood.

Awww, how awesome! So glad you guys are reunited after the long journey to be together. I hope the wedding is perfect

I am heading down to London tonight - medical at 10:10 tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed!!

Good luck! It'll be easy-peasy and you'll be hooked up with your clean bill of health in no time!

It's true, he emailed me this morning to say that the P4 had come and confirmed what the DoS folks had told me on the phone: 8 days til his interview! He could be here with me in as little as two weeks!!!

I'm pretty sure I won't believe it's real until I see him at the airport, though.

Fantastic news! So excited for you.

Paris and London are the bottom of the class!

Thanks! I'm all jitters - all I can seem to do at work is fidget and eat. Whoops!

As for London and Paris, Jess will get them on top of their game with her sweet smile and a tray of pastries!

I've got some questions about the "Certificado Judicial"

We will need this for the interview, however my fiancee is unsure of how to obtain this document. We went to the website www.das.gov.co however it shows that you can obtain this online. She's uncomfortable printing this document online and would like to know if anyone has obtained it through a different method.

Thanks

Hello hello kids!

Passed my medical...just. Doctor said she reckons I'm fine but there is a chance the embassy will reject the report and require further evidence on my prior medical history (i.e. psych evaluation). Hope not, they cost the earth. She also said I was underweight and to eat more, so hand me the cake

So for once, no news is good news!! I reckon if I haven't heard from them by the end of next week I'm in the clear

Another hurdle passed and yet more money spent Come on P4!!

Ummm, I don't know what that is... Have you tried posting this question in the regional forum to ask people who've gone through the same consulate as you? Good luck.

Woohoo! Congrats on that, and go buy yourself something deliciously calorie-ridden! I think there are a couple of chocolate croissants with your name on them!
