visa in hand

[MrsFrida 2]

Being one of the August 2012 filers with csc I thought it would never happen. Waiting for noa2 (8months) was one of the most depressing times in my life. We did not know what is going on with csc, why they stopped approving us, weeks were going by, seasons were changing and there was absolutely no progress. Some people were saying to get all the docs prepared for when it arrives and it was the most annoying thing to hear, as I thought I had everything ready. And you know what? They were right! I did not think about it at that time but I could have had ds156 filled out months in advance instead of spending entire week trying to figure out exact dates of my multiple entries to the US, searching for old passport and digging inbox for old itineraries. All forms could have been filled out stress free weeks in advance.

The interview at the embassy was extremely plesant, the consul did not even look at the thick pile of docs I brought with me. It was maximum 10 min conversation about how we met, relationship between my fiance and my son. What was challenging though, was the entry to the embassy bulding with one small purse and one canvas shopping bag full of forms and papers. The security did not want to let me in with two bags, even after I took out documents, folded the shopping bag and put it inside my purse so it would count as one. I ended up leaving the empty shopping bag out on a street in front of the embassy. Such a nonsense! Oh well, the imigratin path to the US has never been easy :-) Flying off next Tuesday.
