I arrived at JFK on Sunday 30th March after filing for my visa in early September. Feels good!

I'll be writing a full POE review today, but if you are coming to the US soon you should be even less worried about the POE interview than the interview at the embassy. Although, there seems to be some confusion at JFK about exactly where they should send K-1s to have their paperwork checked.

Overall JFK was very busy (as it usually is) but I was done and through the border really quickly.

Always makes me laugh, the randomness of this long-distance love: you get NYC, one of the most fantastic, exciting cities on Earth; I got nowheresville, IL!

Good luck to you. ;-)

See, I'm the opposite; I thought NYC was a smelly, overpopulated hole and couldn't wait to get out (no offence to people who live there or just generally like it ). I love Boston and live about thirty minutes away, so can come and go as I please.

There's that smell again...

NYC has it's drawbacks, certainly! It definitely smells, but having lived in East London for the past 4 years I'm used to that ;)

And, yeah, Boston is nice. We went last year and it felt to me like a rich British city. Anyone else get that feeling?

Thanks for all the well-wishes!

I know, I don't mean to bash your place of rez! I'm just biased. The first time I went to NYC, I made the mistake of wearing sandals. When I got back to the hotel from sightseeing, my feet were black. :angry:

I always thought Chicago was much cleaner.

Plus the pizza is so, so much better. ;)

I love a guy who looks like he could be on Criminal Minds as either an agent or a killer.
