Interview On the 28th...

[MarkandCharity 17]

Y'all I am so excited but so nervous! He drives to Montreal on Monday and will have his medical on Tuesday. Then flying here (it's cheaper than him staying in a hotel for a week in Montreal) to spend Thanksgiving with me, my children and my family. Then next Monday we fly to Montreal together for the interview. I can't believe we are finally at this point. It has been such a long wait. I'm grateful for this sight because everyone has been so helpful!  Prayers and good vibes sent our way please that the interview goes good.

Best wishes!! It was a little over 2 years ago that I made the 8 hour drive to Montreal for the interview.  I was beyond nervous bc so much time and emotions had been invested in the process, but you know what, it was a breeze!

 

Just remind him to bring copies of everything.  And I mean everything.  They asked me for things that were not on the checklist including color copies of my passport biometrics page and the receipt for payment of the DS-160.  (Things may have changed since, but I like to be  over

prepared) 

 

Enjoy your holiday - not long now until your soon-to-be-hubby will be stateside with you, for good!!

We were going over everything again tonight and I said we need to make copies of every single thing just to be prepared. I would rather have to much instead of not enough. I love hearing about others being accepted before us. Gives me hope. I’m so nervous. I just want to hear we are approved and know we can get married!!

Best of luck to you both. South Carolina will be a culture shock for him lol I'm from the Toronto area moving to southern virginia 10 miles from the north Carolina border that is as far north as I could get a Raleigh girl to move.

I moved from Mississauga to Buffalo, so no huge difference, really, but I still experienced a form of “culture shock”, even with small things.  Western NY doesn’t seem to believe in street lights.  There are some on larger roads, but side streets are pitch black and it’s awful trying to see anything.

Okay, I’m a little jealous.  I need to convince hubby to move south.  He lived in SC for like a year, before we had met, but come home (lucky for me!).  He always talks about moving back, and now that winter is upon us, it may be the perfect time.

I’ve only ever lived in SC so I couldn’t imagine having snow to deal with every morning. I know when I go up there next week I won’t know what to do lol. I did tell him I want a snow fight, snow angels and hot tea lol. We get snow here one time a year at most and it’s not even an inch and people freak out lol.

When Debbie and her son came up summer of 17 I had to explain to Bobby to ask for ice tea not just tea as they do in the south. He couldn't understand people drink hot tea. In hindsight I should have just let him order a tea and watch the look on his face would have been priceless

Sooo funny! When I have hot tea here I always say that and Mark always laughs and says just say tea. It’s a joke we always do and his family makes fun of me too. Just like for a long time he would tell me he was eating BBQ every night and I was thought that was a lot of BBQ until he explained that his BBQ is just what I called Grilled Hamburgers and hotdogs or chicken. Not actual pulled pork or brisket BBQ. I love all the little differences.

Lol my friends and I have learned to say bbq instead of pulled pork. Mind you debs sauce is 1000 times better than our red sauce pulled pork. I gave debs recipe to a coworker and he loved how it enhanced the pork not drowned the flavor. His hunting buddies agreed. Carolina bbq is amazing. When you are north try poutine  debt won't do it
