congrats on your interveiw date

welcome finesse

Trinilad happy belated b-day

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

No it's not a holiday on Friday well..... At least not for us here in the states.

I will be looking high and low for a good deal. It's too bad that spirit air doessn't fly from here I've seen tickets from Los Angeles for 139.00 each way.

happy weekend, everyone...

i hope you are all somewhere warm. it is freezing here in iowa and i'm getting cabin fever...i do, however, now have all the time in the world to sit in the house and obsess over whether or not we have everything put together properly for our interview (march 6)...is everyone else with interview dates freaking out, too?!?! :)

a couple more questions...

1.) what-all needs to be notarized in the paperwork we're taking to the interview? i know that the affidavit of support stuff needs to be, but does that include bank statements and miscellaneous supporting documents like that? or is it just the i-134 form, job letter, bank letter and taxes...? and is it pretty much just the financial stuff that needs to be notarized, or is it everything we're taking...?

2.) how much is the courier service for the delivery of the visa?

3.) what did you all take for "evidence/proof of engagement"? we have tons of "evidence of ongoing relationship" stuff, but i'm not sure what they're looking for as far as proof of the actual engagement...i have a ring, and i think we can come up with the receipt for that...is there anything else we should get?

my brain is fried...any perspective or help you guys could give would be GREATLY appreciated!

Keishno, hello. I am also going nuts. My interview is 3/13. Perhaps some veterans can help you out. But from what Ive read before only the I-134 will need to be notorized. The courier for Airpak is 8.00 & you can choose different locations for the visa to be delivered too. I am going to choose Kingston to prevent any further delays. Previous Interviewers please post. Thanks & good luck to us both.
