well for whatever reason i am the lucky person that the process has been made hard for :(

mike got there and was standing on the other side of the road and the securtiy guard announced....NO BLUE PAPERS TODAY :(:(

i'm a little frustrated because since when does the embassy get to make the rules...on the back of the paper it says nothing about today being an exception....i am just so pissed...i told mike to go and try to beg the officer to let him in because i already booked his flight for next thursday...and well of course he wouldn't...so here i sit for 2 more days until he has to go back....

i just don't understand why these things are being made so difficult for us...i'm trying to be a good sport about it and yes i know he has thursday but there are other problems like the visa what if he doesn't get it in time...the way our luck has been going he won't...i just feel like i am going to have a break down...

I am so sorry to hear but I also agree w/everyone else. It will work out and he will be here soon.

Shaunna I would just call the tommorrow morning and ask. You will get a response better that way. If there is a senator close to you maybe you can set up an appotiment to meet with one of the reps. I processed mine through the speaker of the house and they call me and make sure my case is going okay.

I hope they can help.

I will just say at this stage to let Thursday play out and then get your senator involved if things still moving slow. These consulates sometimes do not respond too well to someone exerting influence especially if they are not really doing anything wrong. We do not want Mike being subjected to anyone just wanting to take out thier vengance because some senator raked them over the coals. Mike is going to be fine and Thursday is just a day away and he will get the visa in time. I feel your fustration, but just do not give those people anything to get pissed over unless absolutely necessary

Okay -- Just a warning ......for anyone (who might be) driving in the south suburbs of Chicago....Roy passed the written test yesterday and got his drivers permit. He actually passed the first time out. The driving instructor really put him through the ringer before he would take him for the test.....but, he passed and we are all so happy. He will be driving with the instructor for five hours....then with me :wacko: I am taking donations for valium....send it all my way :lol:

:lol: Congrats Roy

Congrats Anna :thumbs:

Good luck to Drew :thumbs:

Nannygirl - (F) I'm sure you and Mike will have Thanksgiving dinner together. Everything will work out (F)

Shauna, sorry to hear the bad news :( I will tell you a little story that might make you feel better. When I was supposed to fly down for Tony's interview, Hurricane Ivan struck JA!! All the airports were closed, hotels were closed, and the Embassy was closed INDEFINATELY :o I had already bought my ticket AND Tony's ticket to fly back home with me. I had to pay a lot of money to change the tickets because I missed the "hurricane fee waiver" by ONE day :angry: Just because the airport was opened back up they said I could fly down there. However, the Embassy was still closed and most of the island was without power. And to make matters even worse, I was supposed to spend my birthday in JA with Tony and I ended up spending it in Michigan ALONE :crying: Needless to say, everything was delayed by about 3 weeks but we did finally get the Visa and get him back home with me.

Hang in there ;)
