THANKS EVERYBODY!

YES, I am shouting THANKS. Peter and I want to thank everyone in JAM for all of your prayers, jokes, chitchat, laughter, stress relief, mental support, and thanks to the Lord up above for hearing our prayers.

Here is my part of the process: Wednesday, I went to NCB to pay for visa fee, Thanks Sweet for asking that question, I had him write a note took his passport and paid the fee. That night I went over all paperwork again, making sure he signed everything, put all the forms in order, I made a cover sheet, and binder clipped all of my financial stuff together. I color coded each section like all forms behind yellow sheet, further proof of relationship behind pink sheet, I-129, behind green sheet, added his medical packet. I reorganized my photo book, we took some more pictures when I got here. We headed to the embassy at 5 am. We were rushing because Peter forgot where the embassy was, and with a lot of traffic we made it at 8:45 am for his 9:30 am appt. We brought his brother and cousin with us so they can park the car and keep cellphones. We cannot bring lotions, etc.. In so I left my bag in the car. When we arrived there was no one in line, so they checked the paperwork, similar to what others said. We went in they asked about cellphones, we went through the screening, and walked through the courtyard to the heavy glass door. The gentleman took his paperwork and checked it. He was assigned A154, then they asked me to go back into the courtyard. I asked to go into the US Citizens section in the AC and he said NO. Which was even better, cause I sat next to the snack bar, and I could see him through the window. I was the only petitioner there, so security and other staff were chit chatting with me. Making sure that I was OK. The security guard advised me to sit on the back row cause the sun would soon come out. I watched people go sit on the visitor visa section, they processed about 300 people, some were MAD they did not get through. Peter came out twice saying he was freezing, and to check on me. I sat and waited and then.....next to come on consulate Review.

Thanks, I was on my crackberry shouting approved when I got in the car, you have to check my profile. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that the officer did look at our pictures and asked who was in the pictures. I took a picture of my ring, the officer commented that I put in my statement that I love my ring, so they do read everything, and look at everything that you send.

One of the officers did not actually and come and say it, but he did say, its a good thing that you are here. Not buying plane ticket until visa is in hand. Onto reading the thread about DHL delivery.
