Yes when it comes to something as important as bringing your life partner to the US, I think we've all got to be on pins and needles, when it comes to the moments of truth stages.

I remember having to spend weeks to get all the paperwork and evidence scanned and all that stuff and by the end you're just so tired and you also need to get it off quick, meanwhile checking all the 100 pages that I put together, oh well it happened.

But in my case we want to bring her dog with us and I hear you should do it when its not too hot at the destination airport cause the poor dog will be in a cage in the cargo hold while at the airport for what could be hours in hot weather. Many airlines have restrictions on that. So were going with what 2 big airlines do, wait till the middle of September to fly.

So its not a real hurry.
