In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

Yeah! Congratulations! What are some of the questions they asked?

They wanted to know what attracted us to each other? they wanted to know if she spoke english and if spoke

spanish ...They asked "what on my facebook profile sparked her interest?" (she friend-ed me first), why I picked

a latina?, they asked why don't we get married in Managua? they asked her why she liked an older man :blush:

he looked at all of the pictures, skype messages, facebook pages when we first met ... He wanted to know where

this one picture was taken? (we were all dressed up), He wanted to know if I had children... he wanted to know

if we were going to have children... 1st interview was 15 mins, 2nd interview was like 20+ mins (seemed like

forever)

There were 2 documents we did not have filled out correctly. One was the receipt confirmation number. there was

a link to another page I had to have printed :bonk: Then the Immigration application form has to be filled out

by a computer because a serial number is generated by the info in the application :bonk: ... there was a adhoc

computer/print shop setup across the street helped me out. It cost me 20 dollars but that was the best thing

that could of happened :dance:

Boy am I glad this is over... We get the visa on Tuesday, We leave for the USA on Friday... We have to shop and

plan a going away party, also I would like to setup a place where the family can view the wedding via skype :D

so many things to do ...

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and help... To all those still waiting Do not give up!
