Tiff - my first trip to the UK ever was planned on like 2 days notice and lasted just 4 days. So I say congrats to you for being such a jet-setter! :)

And a happy note to my fellow Jan Filers:

Tim had his interview at the London Embassy yesterday morning at 9am, UK time. He was approved! We're both overjoyed, of course. We're just waiting for it to be delivered and then he'll get a flight and be here again! Hard to believe. Such a long journey . . . it isn't over yet, but certainly a big milestone passed.

Thanks to all your support these past months. Best of luck to everyone as they move through the process.

Anna's interview is scheduled July 16th in Kiev, Ukraine. I am traveling on August 2 to Kiev and back on August 6th to JFK at 11 am.

If anyone has someone that is traveling at that same time can get a hold of me. I can help through some of the process and connecting flights.

I know flying is not the greatest for your bride to be, so if I can help, I will.

Here is a good Kiev post.

On a happy note, bought a ticket last night to fly to the UK for a long weekend. I leave on Thursday. It was completely unplanned, but we're both pathetic, so what the hell?

:whistle:

That's awesome, not pathetic! As soon as Neal finds out his interview date, I'm booking a ticket out there. I can't wait!

On a completely unrelated note, someone I know just married her sweetie this past weekend. She is a USC, and he is a UKC, but they are doing it the other way around - marrying here, then moving to the UK. But I get all giddy at all the international love happening, and hopefully will be attending their UK reception Augsut 25!

Congrats on the new approvals and interview dates!

Teddy and I got married last week!!! : ) and we filled our AOS, EAD, AP last week. We had a few minor issues come up with his varicella vaccine(proper vaccine administration/spacing), and SSN (new changes inimmigration making it not possible to verify via SAVE)- I posted it yesterday in the AOS section; the link is below.
