Oh you will miss Mrs D by a whisker!! Too bad for ya'all but good new for the airlines industry 'cause you two would've burn that sucka down!!!

For me, Lady HnddA, who's not be confussed with Lady Gaga and who's not blessed with a lot of sense of humma, has some lose ends to tie in Cario so I may have to make a trip over there within the next 10 days to help here out... So, being a ture Africa-American warrior(born in Africa but raised in America), I am getting ready to invade the Egytian Empire and whisk my queen out in a Tojan Horse The quencequence if I get caught in the battle as a POW, I know I will be subjected to one hundred Shisha puffs and a gallon of raw camel milk (off a camel's breast ) , because these are not covered by the Genve Convention . But I am ready to do ANHYTHING for my queen...

Wish me luck and I will check with the family periodically. Finally, welcome you all to AMERICA!!!

Mr HandA - You are wild as the hills! Our spiritual leader - We will miss you! Don't get on the wrong side of the camels! Mrs HandA and her loose ends. I know the feeling. I've got more loose ends than I've got rope to tie them.

Anwesha - Finally, you have the visa in your hand! I'm still waiting for mine. As always, London is the slowest donkey at everything. I will look out for you at CLT. And for all of us still to travel - is that Icelandic volcano finished spewing its guts yet? I hate to think any of us could be scuppered if it's still "active". Last I heard it could be erupting for 3 years, and even last week all flights from Scotland were cancelled again for a couple of days cos of it. Does anyone know the latest?

Last update was that it was only spewing out steam and was no risk (for now). As for it spewing out ash again... i guess it depends on what mood it's in.

Got back May 24th with Fiancee. Things are going great. We are planning on getting married in June. I guess I'll be moving to the AOS forum now. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Oh geez, you crack me up!

Just being amidst true talent,some of you guy's funny genius must have surely rubbed off ! And Ewan did get his biometrics appointment pretty soon,that's great! So after that is the AOS interview the next step that remains?Also,one other thing,I have a ssn already,and I do intend on changing my name after marriage,so I will have to make another trip to the SSA office right?I mean,will I retain the number and just get a new card?Any help Megan,since you are the true American girl here

Yeah, from what I can tell, you can get a card after you've been in the US two weeks. Then, after the marriage, go back with the marriage certificate to get a new card (same number) in your married name. THEN, after EAD, you go get ANOTHER one that doesn't have the "Valid for work with DHS approval" restriction on it. By the end of this nonsense, the SSA people know you by name, I suppose!

From what I can tell, after we do the biometrics (June 10, the same day our lovely Miss Jess has her interview!) we can expect the EAD and AP within 4-6 weeks. Many K-1 AOS people are approved for the green card without an interview (I suppose because you prove the validity of your relationship at the visa interview) so hopefully that will happen to us, but honestly, I'm expecting an RFE for for proof of my citizenship, and the vaccinations (there is much debate about what to send for this, as the mystery POE envelopes have a way of not reuniting with the files at USCIS, and they are not super clear about whether the DS-3025 is sufficient proof of vaccinations, etc. Hopefully I'll be a guinea pig for this; I'll def. let you all know what happens). Hopefully it's smooth and quick, because I'm getting a little jealous of my sweetie staying home to listen to cricket all day while I go off to be the breadwinner!

LOL so funny

You were lucky then because there's a special program from National Geographic about the K-1 Visa and they mention that sometimes we can wait for 3 hours. OMG! I'll be tired when I get there and hopefully by the morning there's just a few people at the airport.

You are well on top of this AOS business.

You are right - the biggest confusion, and the subject of many, many posts where people have been driven nuts - is the vaccination nonsense. Going to a civil surgeon for transcription, and some refuse to do the transcription, want to give you the shots again, charging a fortune etc. and if that's not enough, there is mass confusion about the ones which are age inappropriate where it states on the DS-3025 that you have file a waiver. This applies to me and I have no clue yet as to what waiver. So, yes, you can be our guinea pig, then I'm relying on our Naddy to hunt down the cheapest civil surgeon in SC, and one who knows the process.

Honestly, you would think we were all riddled with the plague and could unleash a pandemic of foot and mouth disease throughout America if those vaccinations are not transcribed properly! It is absolute nonsense, especially for people from countries which have vaccination requirements for all citizens from birth anyway!

And we hope Ewan has at least done the laundry and cleaned the house when his hunter/gatherer wife returns home at night!

Yeah, seriously! All these plague-ridden immigrants stealin our jobz and such!

Oh, yes, that Ewan's a darling. I think he just worries about not doing the cleaning or the laundry "right," and that I'll get mad at him. Silly puppy... But seriously, he's a right wonderful partner, giving me snuggles when I come home from a long day, pouring me a gin, and putting on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Such a darlin'.

They are going to leave for India on the 20th,but there are a lot of layovers and all.I will be getting to see them on the 22nd afternoon.I saw John last on the 22nd of Aug,so it will be exactly 10 months..wow!

We will have an Indian celebration kinda thing,for my side of the family,I will post some pictures of it.

I hope days speed by,or atleast seem to!

[T and J 2]

Well, me and Jum arrived in America today. It took less than 30 min to go through immigration and customs. Now I cannot sleep because I slept all day. Stupid 24 hours on a plane with no sleep. I will wait a few weeks before jumping into the AOS discussions. I just want to enjoy my time with Jum without the stress of USCIS. Good luck to everyone still waiting to enter the US. Hopefully I can fall asleep soon so I can show Jum around DC instead of just unpacking and rearranging.

10 months?! Lady you have amazing strength....there am I thinking six months is bad Me and J are trying to figure out if we can get him here before the big move, but the flight prices SUCK right now...you know, we chose November are our wedding date because last year flight prices (for our guests) were around the £320 mark direct...now I can't find anything for less than £500. Now a lot of my friends are a lot less likely to come, and can't blame them

But back to you my dear....VERY happy for you finally getting to see your man When's the big move?!
