07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

While it is a shame this consulate still does this, I am glad you persisted and received your visa which has resulted in Mrs. TBonevo and now Mini TBoneov. :yes: Someday you will tell Mini-Tichka how Daddy was a hero and stuck with it.

Go to the Texas Rangers Museum. In Waco. There they have a statue of a Ranger and at the bottom of the statue is a plaque which reads...

"No one can stop a man who is in the right...and keeps coming"

:thumbs: Congratuations. And thanks for the help you give other members using this consulate

PS if your name is TBoneov your wife would probably call you "Tichka" ...or "Bichka". Your choice. :lol:

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Thank you, G-Boneov, yes hombre. Uh, Bichka sounds more like what a husband would call a wife in a love-hate relationship, see man.

"No one can stop a man who is in the right...and keeps coming"

And here I was believing that there was an appropriate firearm for just about every possible adversary! Not this one also?

jk :D

A belated congratulations to you T-Bone for doing what you had to! You deserve happiness!

.30-06

Another famous saying from a very famous man...

"There aln't nuthin' a man can't fix with $700 or a .30-06"

Gary's Dad.

(adjust for inflation, the .30-06 is the same as ever but the $$$ is not)

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!
