I was excited and confused on the first day, now I'm just older, today is my birthday and Sunday is Sharon's, at our age we are allowed senior moments I hope.

Senior moments, and smilies with no hair. How's your head doing? :whistle: Jim just shaved his, got it over with.

I love senior moment and smilies with no hair, as for my head go to the gallery and do a search for Sharon and you will see us in the Cave of the Winds. I’m tired of having to get mine cut every two weeks so maybe I’ll shave what is left or start one of those bleach shampoo treatments and get rid of what is left for good so there will be no need to shave the head every few days. Here's a before :girlwerewolf2xn: and after :dancing: picture.

Sharon, that is good news, no more work for a while other than getting the relationship back on track which will be more pleasure than work. Packing can be good too since it will be near the last time you will be using that room. I'll put my foot in my mouth and say that I am sure you are the only ones on the list with Aug 1, it is too bad because it would be nice to meet others from here, there, but with Alan beside you, you don't need anyone else. Enjoy the trip and the company, and don'T shave your head shave Alan's. :P

We are both also excited, but now is the "real" preping time... we are going to finalize the file this weekend in preparation for the Aug 8 interview date... [[sss... carrrr.... eedd]]

B)

Calm, cool and collected is the way to go, you have everything you need, just don't get stressed that will just cause confusion. When at the consulate meet and greet Alan and Sharon they will be there also and in the same shape you will be, support each other. All the best to you and party afterwards.

I totally forgot about Réjean & Pamela, they are also going to be at the Consulate on August 8th, all the best to all of you, I hope you can all meet and share a coffee and stories after the interview.

Unfortunately, I don't get to be there when Réjean has his interview.

sapa_uscan, if you see a bald man with a big goatee, a septum (nose) piercing, and a labret (lip) piercing at the Consulate while you're there, that's Réjean! :)

*headdesk*:

01/02/09 - Réjean loses his wallet containing his drivers license, Social Security card, and green card

02/04/09 - Our best friends bail us out by giving us the money to file for the replacement green card!

I sure will keep an eye to identify fellow VJ'ers!!!

One quick question(s):

I received my Packet 4 from MTL yesterday, and there in amongst other requirements, there is one that says:

ALL DS-156 FORMS ARE REQUIRED IN AN ELECTRONICALLY COMPLETED FORMAT IN ENGLISH.

FORMS MAY BE DOWNLOADED AT : HTTP://EVISAFORMS.STATE.GOV

PRINT THE ENTIRE FORM INCLUDING THE BAR CODE IN DUPLICATE.

Q: There was a DS-156 form in my Packet 3 that I think it says that I need to sign this at the Interview day!

So, should I fill out that form (from my Packet-3) as well as an electronic version in duplicate ?

I am [slightly] confused? :huh:

I think they occassionally answer their email in CAPS..

Either as a scare tactic, out of laziness, out of procedure..

DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY..

=) now was that so scary?

I think I remember someone being told once

"I told you last week it'll be 2-3 months"

!!!

I'd be like HOW DO YOU REMEMBER!!!

They log everytime you email or call... I know cos everytime I called they knew exactly when I contacted them last, be it by email or phone :)

With regards to the mail backlog, someone else who sent their packet 3 earlier this month or last month said that Montreal was backlogged with mail too. I dont think it was 2-3 weeks back then though... but hey with Montreal they might have fallen behind even further since then with opening mail too.
