So funny...i can feel for ya!

My wife is coming from Colombia. She has never been to the US. She is probably going to arrive in DC in December. I wanted her to arrive in the summer or fall and not when all the leaves are missing and when it is so cold outside (compared to where she is from). Anyways, the past few days I have ordered clothes for her from Victorias Secret and Nordstroms:

1. Two winter wool coats

2. Four cashmere sweaters

3. Three cashmere or wool winter dresses

4. Two pairs of high heeled full length leather boots

They all got here today. It was nice to start putting her clothes in the closet. It felt like we were one step closer to being together.

Everybody knows about women, clothes and shopping. Colombian women are on steroids when it comes to clothes and (especially) shoes/high heels...Thank God I make great money! :)

Anyways, she has some things here for her first few days and I am sure the first week we will spend a lot of time taking care of her "winter wardrobe" (What am I going to do? All of my closets are full of my shoes and clothes!) HAHAHAHAHAHA....first world problems. I am blessed! :)

I believe she has a right to max out your credit cards! :rofl:

After all, she is leaving her friends and family in Columbia and is coming to the US (the country she hasn't been to) just for you! :thumbs:

Think about this way. :content: She'll be stimulating the US economy if she loves to shop. :D

Oh, don't forget about job creation. ;) We need more retail jobs! B-)

I had a copy of my husband's state driver's license, copy of his U.S bank account statement and a copy of his 4 year Eu res permit. They didn't ask any proof of re-establishing domicile during the interview.

Has anyone ever head of someone not being approved at the interview for not showing enough proof of re-establishing domicile?

Isn't there an instruction letter about what to bring to the interview? Or is it different for each country? Again, I wonder if the new system applies to just your country or all countries.

Hello everyone, my interview was on the 25th of Sept. I was asked to send in documents for a new joint sponsor :( . Anyways i just submitted the documentation today. i had 2 questions in mind:

1) I submitted unsigned copies of 1040 forms of my sponsor, are the copies supposed to be signed? Because it does not mention anywhere.

2) How much time might it take for them to review my documents?

Thanks for any help in advance :)
