We have snow inbound. Hoping that's gone by then. 😬 I will have a raft ready just in case of any flooding. I'll add this to my book 😂😂

 

Woot. I have no idea where I'm going so I'm going to call the map up and plan accordingly. 

Will get a bottle of water for the journey too ready to pee on demand.😬

 

Thank you for all your help, chaps and chappettes. 💜

I am seriously laughing with tears....

I am with my fiancé currently.  Just wondering, how much money will I need to leave with her for remaining fees?   I can't find a clear amount anywhere.  

 

I know we need 180 for the medical exam, and I think the visa application fee is like 235?  How do we pay the visa application fee though?  There is next to no information on how to pay it.  Can I just leave her the necessary cash since I am already here?

Yeah for Brazil at least there is virtually no information on how they would like you to pay it, and it's incredibly frustrating.  She does not have the funds for it so I need to figure out if I need to leave her the necessary money or if I can pay with my credit card while abroad.  Ugh

We’re actually in Gourmet Burger Kitchen now to celebrate and see a show later tonight in the West End.

 

Its sad that he is leaving tomorrow but I follow him in 18 days so I can handle it this time I think! 

 

To warn you all UK peeps, they are now quoting 2-3 weeks for return of passport/visa - rather than 7-10 days...

 

I HOPE mine makes it - I fly on 13th hahahaha

 

but NO STRESS today - my thoughts are still with all those still waiting

@Cmoran72 - note time for passport returns.  Think we should be ok as it's just under three weeks (albeit Easter in there) x

VOH!!! POE is tomorrow morning; we found a great deal!

 

My fiance is flying into Philadelphia before entering Orlando. Dumb question here but he shows his K1 visa at Philadelphia, right? Not in Orlando?

Yes, Philadelphia :-)  Make sure there is enough time on the layover to deal with immigration before boarding the next flight into Orlando.

Congrats!

Thanks... Did you track via CEAC after approval?

How quickly did it go into AP and how long were you in AP? Do you know?

I see you were 13 days total, so if I am 13 days too, that will reach me in time for my flight on the 13th March, so I'm just trying to work out where I stand on the timeframe and you seem to be one of the more recent people hahaha

We did! We were had to send additional documents after our interview, the medical was missing, and we ran into the weekend + President's Day so our visa was 'Issued' on the 21st once they had everything. Neither my fiance or I saw us go into AP--we went from "Approved" to "Issued" within the next morning. Not counting the weekend, it took the passport 3 days to arrive after 'Issued.'

Did I miss it @John & Rose????? 
Did your RFE get here yet??? Am ready for you to finally get your approval man

Anyone having this problem with CEAC when you try to check your case status and it just doesn't load? This is after interview approval.
