Actually I was heading there in 12 days anyway to celebrate Tet. I only speak a bit of Vietnamese (mostly involving food) but her mom loves it when I say; "Me oi, lai day!"

Still no NOA2 for you, Jim? That's unbelieveable. You have the patience of a saint to be waiting this long.

It's amazing how even speaking a few words of a language will endear you to people. My fiancee's friends were impressed with my ability to speak Thai and I'm getting better every day!

I know there are a few other folks going through the Jamaican embassy here who can help. You might also want to ask in the region-specific forums as well.

My fiance had her interview at the Mumbai consulate today and she was approved for her K1 visa. 

 

I want to thank the VJ forums community from the bottom of my heart w/o whom we could not have done it from filing to approval in 80 days. I know there are still some October filers who are patiently waiting for their approvals and I am hoping their approvals come through soon. Hang tight. 

 

We will be returning for the AOS.
