----VISA JOURNEY ENDS----

It is great to love, but also guard your heart...

As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me. The trees in the storm don't try to stand up straight and tall and erect. They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind. They understand the power of letting go. Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break. Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break.

Our interview is not until January 19th, 2010 but I am already so nervous and my fiance is about to kill me. :blink: I keep asking him questions to make sure he gets all his paperwork done, which he is just fine. I just don't want to forget anything! I don't want them to give us an automatic reason to deny us, which the Casablanca consulate would love to do. :wacko:

Good luck to you and your husband!

Hi! My hubby's interview is on 12/15, and I leave a week from tomorrow! I'm very excited for the interview-not nervous at all (yet!)! It'll be fun!!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

I'm only a week away before my interview (Dec. 10,'09) and I can't get a proper sleep already. My documents are already arranged and in order and I always check and look at it because I feel that something is missing and I don't know what it is...paranoia sucks! Goodluck to us all.

also guys incase it might help some one in the future here are the stuff we prepared so far , this can always be different what ever your case or evidence may be

1/ emails me and my husband exchanged

2/ personal random pictures , any kind , photo with his family ,, am just saying pic in general lol

3/ itenary when i traveled to see him ( just for the hack of it you won't lose any thing for having it handy)

4/ phone bills

5/ if you have bills you show you paid while traveling etc.

for now that is all i got

other evidence that you think you should add , would be a good idea to have it handy ,, they won't be upset if you show them proof of relationship lol

You didn't send that stuff at the beginning? I think I went a little crazy when I sent my I-130...but then again, maybe that helped me go from NOA1 to NVC complete in less than three months!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!
