Hello everyone,

Just a quick up date on our case.

Pudum has had her hospital visit and so have the children. They all got sick from the injections.

Pudum goes to the police station on the 12 of June to pick up police check then deliver all paper work to our Attorney Brian Wright. Then he delivers to Embassy and I am hoping for 25 July interview (my birthday) but Brian believes sooner. Pudum then goes back on the 20th June to the hospital for second round of shots and children go on the 29th June

Then the race to get airline tickets. Does anyone know of a good source for short time line ticket purchasing? Good travel agent? Anywhere in the US?

Ahhh back to Bangkok... I love Bangkok...

I have looked and for both of us the cheapest that I have found is $3126 for both . Not a problem, it's just the waiting for the unknown.

I hope everyone is well and I wish each and everyone of you the best in health, love and speedy painless approval. My thoughts are with you and the couples of the Dominican Republic, I wish things would speed up for you, over 2 year wait is just too much. My thoughts are with you though.

Ken

Good to read about your good luck, and sounds like Brian Wright is doing good by you.

I'm not sure if you're looking for a BKK travel agent or one in the states.

For Thailand travel, NOK Air is a rip off. Many have been burned, me included. Pay more for Thai Air and get a better value in the end.

BKK has many agents but there are ticketing search engines for best fares.

Kayak.com is one, as I recall.

In the states, I usually use the Sunday travel section to find the bucket shop deals. I have a good agent now that handles lots of details and the $40 extra is a value to me.

check out BookingBuddy.com for flights out of the US. Kayak is good, but I haven't gotten teh best rates from them.

I presume you r wife will get a 1 way ticket from BKK to the US? BKK is the cheapest airport in the world to fly out of, so you will do better to go buy there as much as possible. There are a lot of travel agents and they do NOT all say the same things.

This is what I'm plannning.... to buy tix from Asiana or China Air ... they will change the ticket date for free, so you can buy ahead of time, and then change if yout estimate is off or your visa is delayed.

Your absence runs through me like a needle

Ken,

Have you seen his JD diploma? Any evidence of passing a bar examanywhere?

Yodral

..... our Attorney Brian Wright. .....

Ken

In Rhode Island

I am very happy with Brian and the job he is doing for me. I feel much better paying his fee and having him fill out all the papers. He helped big time clearing up the birth certificates for the 2 children.

Ken
