VISA Approved!!!!

we'll i'll be dingle danged! we finally got it! 17 damn months after filing!

i had flown over to be with Bindu on sept 13, after 126 nites of a lonely summer apart. we first did her police report and medical and submitted our 6 inch stack of evidence to the consulate and paid the exhorbinant fee. the nice Nepali lady said, ok, her interview is on tueday! so we waited in Krapmandu for 4 days. we showed up promptly at 1pm for interview but i wasnt allowed inside. i waited out along road and worried. 2 hours later she came out, neither crying or smiling, and handed me a paper. Visa not approved due to "administrative processing". I was pissed! so i demanded to go in to speak to someone. i asked the officer if he could give us a better timeframe than what they'd told Bindu of 1-4 weeks. I told him this was my 5th time over here since we got engaged. He replied that i didnt have to be here at all. i said, i know but our attorneys (Allan Lolly & Assocs)had said it'd look better, and that she was scared doing all this stuff alone. his eyebrow raised in an "Ahh-Haa! I caught you!" kind of way. "whys she scared?, he asked me, suspiciously. i said cuz coming to awful huge Kathmandu alone is scarey, as is doing police report and medical and coming to the US embassy. He then said, OK we'll call her in 1-2 weeks. So we went back to her lovely peaceful city of Pokhara to wait. 2 weeks passed. I exercised, running mountain trails and riding my old mountain bike that lives here. we rode our junky rented 150cc motorbike yp to her family home for dinners. i called embassy. no news. 3 weeks, nothing. Lawyers said enlist my congressman or Senators which i did. I called at 4 weeks 1 day. the officer said it could take months. I was livid! Lawyers said they're surely doing a Homeland Security check on me/us. Why? they already did that thru USCIS months ago. I was pissed again. My name isnt Abdul, and her's aint Mohammed. how could any check take longer than a mouse click nowadays? I emailed the consulate. Depression and anxiety ruled us. would i have to return to Montana alone again for the 5th time? A long winter alone with my german shepard Jed? Then.. the next day...her mobile rang. The Embassy! can you come to your 2nd interview friday at 2pm. Yes sir! so the next day we took an awful $7, 8 hour, 120 mile, bus ride back to the capital. we showed up early. again only she was allowed inside. i worried 2 hours. smoked a cigar, drank a coke, tried to read. soon it was just me and the guards. the other hopefuls filed out one by one, most sad looking. i bet the embassy makes lots of money from those non-refundable visa app fee's. lord knows they spent a bundle on the new embassy here. i felt like puking. then,.. she came out...SMILING! its a "YES"! we both broke into tears as we embraced, all the guards watching us. we took a 30 cent, crammed microbus rite down to a travel agent in the Thamel tourist area,and booked a flite round-trip back to Pokhara to say goodbyes/pack, and then on tuesdays nite flite we're outahere, via Hong Kong. The officer had said she can pick up her PP with K-1 visa affixed on tues at 11am. we hope theres no snags cuz i am out of money/over budget. Shes gonna absolutely freeze in Montana soon. Heck, she's never even touched snow. But i already got her a new pair of cross-country skate skiis waxed and ready. thank "whoever" that we can finally begin our new life together and that torture of the last two years is finally over. but i tell ya'll one thing, shes my last woman! im never marrying anyone again, its too damn much trouble.
