Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July.

I will fly to Moscow tomorrow so I can be there when Olga and her son have their interviews on Tuesday. I can wait outside the Embassy anyway. :)

Tuesday night, I will post our Woo-Hoos or Boo-Hoos. :rofl:

Woo-Hoos are in order! :dance::dance:

K1 & K2 visas were approved after an interview that consisted of about 15 questions. (10 of the questions were about the web site where we became acquainted.) At the end of the interview, the interviewer told Olga, "Visas are usually processed in 1.5 - 2 weeks." Olga said she had "big eyes" and told the woman that we wanted to leave on 7/16 (which she knew from the paperwork). Then the woman smiled and said, "Do not worry, your visas will go to DHL tomorrow! It is nice to find government employees with a sense of humor! :rofl:

Olga was nervous while waiting for the interview. Afterwards, she said that the Consulate employees were very nice, professional and the experience was very positive. I will post a review of the interview after I fully "debrief" Olga! :P

We will enter the US on 7/16: POE Atlana!

Yup yup, we're all in this together even if it seems like the January posters seem to be appearing less and less lately. :blink: Guess they're all busy with their honeys.

One week until the interview today! I wrote Peter a note in the packet I sent with the affidavit of support and evidence and stuff to remain calm and dress nice, emphasis on dress nice since he's usually okay with just wearing jeans and a t-shirt.. and that this is just like a job interview, except the job he'll get is being my husband, a full time career right there. I'm going to be so nervous the whole day before the interview, good thing the interview itself will take place at 5:00 in the morning EST so I can wake up to good news.. I hope! Fingers crossed, people!
