My Update finally bought ticket for $ 672 through my travel agent was able to negotiate and save $48 but if she matched the price could have saved another $4.2 but I did not want 2 be cheap GJ gal and break their loyal customer base and said OK.

$672 one way for Emirates is not bad at all! Good deal :thumbs:

IS is actively watching Egyptian news now-a-days. Where is time for him to come here? He provokes me to write all these craps :star:

You need to type your signature on a notepad and past without any formatting. Formatting characters take up the number of allowable character. Bar that you can make a image of your timeline and post the image as your signature.

You have other fat burning mechanism? Wha? I don't believe you. I need pictorial proof. Speaking of picture, Turkish army doesn't let people off because they are gay. They have to provide proof that they are gay. And have to be the "receiving" person to be considered gay. Those Turks. They never cease to amaze me.

You'll understand it after 2 weeks time!

My webcam's nightshot is not working clearly!

Footenote:- I keep 13 furlong away from gays!

In fact my work is over for today. It is now 4:46PM.

Wife called me to check when will I arrive at home today?

If I say I am coming now, she'll think that I don't have any job at work :devil: But, if I don't leave the office now, I'll miss them for another 1 hour :star:

After lot of thinking, I reached in a compromise - I am leaving the office in another 15 min. and I'll reach home in another 10 min. Too short from home to office! (BTW, nobody asked me where do I live? How sad!)

My honey says she needs to go to salad bar place for dinner! I like it occasionally, though. Since I don't have Rich person's diseases, I can eat anything I want :P

What do you think, Indigo?

Sounds good. But salad for dinner? I hope you are eating a balanced meal. You need a little bit of everything. Some protein, some grain, fruits, vegetable, salt, fat, etc. When you arrive home, you need to say "Oh mere pran priye, main hazir howa tumara liye" then do something totally opposite like punch the wall or something. Then you make a trollface comic like the one I made yesterday.

He said it was easy very few questions. IO was a Guj translator and AO was a African American lady who was chewing gum the whole time.

Who is calling you?

What is her name? IO got happy on hearing last name.

What does your wife do in free time?

So, wife doesn't know how to cook?

Where did you go on honeymoon?

IO and CO commented they also took same pic in same pose at Taj Mahal.

Father-in-law's name?

How long did your wife stay after wedding?

Thanks every1 here on VJ for helping us on this journey esp LOTO, M_B, n Malvika, DebbynSeyi, n LadyDare

Bob,

A list of supporting documents list is here - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw7.pdf

Other than passport, civil birth certificate or many other docs are ok. Only thing is pick a document that has both "Foreign Status" and "Identity" are checked.
