I called and bit the bullet on the cost. I think it cost me about $30 total.

The operator was very helpful in assisting and forwarding our inquiry to the consulate. She took down my email and phone and said they will call with a response.

She even gave me the email address of the US consulate with special instructions to get immidate attention. I emailed the consulate and had a response in 29 minutes. Daniel Rooney (the ambassador) and his crew are on the ball!

simple and succinct response:

I don't know why it took them so long to mail the darn thing out, but at least we can rest now knowing it's in the mail.

Great now you can put your mind at peace.

Citizenship next step!

Well its been a while since I have been on the site. I just had to get away for a while and do something else to get my mind right. Not sure that happened but most of this is behind me now. I just wanted to extend my congratulations to all of those who have interview approvals, Visas in Hand and perhaps Significant other already in their arms. I am still waiting but it should happen this Feb 2.

I also wanted to thank all of you great VJ members who helped me and listened to my jabber during this lengthy VISA process. I will not name anyone specifically because there are so many people who helped me and I would be afraid I miss someone by mistake. You know who you are and I am sure I was not the only one who was helped by you.

I started out this process with only 1 kayak and now I have 3 ... Hope she doesn't let the fact that she cant swim keep her away from the water ... :blink:

Hope everyone has a Super 2011!!! And may the memories of this roller coaster VISA ordeal fall to the wayside. Can wait to get her here and show here why all of what we just went through was worth it. I will be back to document her arrival but I might be a day or two late with that :wub::whistle: Of course I am expecting her to be delayed as she goes through customs just enough so that she misses her flight. That would be par for the course right... Till then

OH I forgot ...Today is our 1 yr Anniversary... :dance::crying::hehe:
