Hi everyone

[Phoebe and Georgi 0]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to this forum so, I thought I'd introduce myself and say "hi". I'm a USC and also a Nicaraguan Resident living in Granada, Nicaragua. We just got our visa and we're planning to move to the States at the end of May. Previously I was at the Direct Consular Filing forum (DCF). What should have been a cake walk for us to get our visa, turned sour. We filed our I-130 on January 8, this year, everything was approved and we were scheduled for our final interview on January 25 and to pick up our visa, a total of just 18 days from start to finish. I had a sister in the States that dying from cancer, we were on a fast track to leave so we could be there before she died. However, we were blind sided by the Adam Walsh fiasco and didn't make it. I still have hard feelings about that. Anyway, we final received our visa on the 23rd of March or, a total of 75 days from start to finish. Not bad considering all the problems we encountered.

We have just finished getting getting the visa stage of our journey, and now we are here, "Moving Here and Your New Life in America" forum. I don't have a clue about this part of our journey, but I am looking forward to finding out.

Butch,

I am just so sad to hear about your story. That you were unable to see your sister before she passed? Oh my goodness, I can imagine that you must have a lot of resentment towards the system over that ...geez, how absolutely tragic. Anyway, my heart goes out to you. By the way, your member profile picture of you and your wife is just adorable! Talk to you soon, Phoebe
