:crying:

Our little boy started his first day of pre-school today. He did fine. He went right in and started playing with the toys. He didn't even cry. I slipped out of the room while he wasn't looking and watched him through the glass. He was already showing toys to the other kids. I started tearing up and by the time I got to my car I was bawling. I cried the whole rest of the way to work and even after I got to my desk...I was STILL sniffling.

:crying:

I get to call at 11:00 to see how he has done. Jeez...how am I going to handle when he actually goes to 1st grade? Anybody got some valium??????

This is a very big day in your lives. Cherish every moment and treat yourself to your favorite coffee/tea. Think of all the cool things he'll be able to share with you tonight!

Ok I just talked to a witch to end all witches at DOS.

After giving her our case number and my husband's full name she put me on hold and then came back to say:

DOS witch: "Ma'am did your husband have his interview yet?"

me: "yes it was on the 29th"

DOS witch: "well ma'am this case is still in Administrative Processing"

me: "does this mean he is done with the security checks at the Dept of State?"

DOS witch: "ma'am there is nothing pending here, the pending items are in Cairo"

me: "I understand that but does that mean that his case has already gone to the Dept of State and it's been sent back to Cairo?"

DOS witch: "ma'am there is nothing pending here, the pending items are in Cairo"

me: "I got that part when you told me the last time, what I'm tryint to ask you is if there is a way you can check to see if any security checks have been performed in Washington yet"

DOS witch: "MA'AM, THERE IS NOTHING PENDING HERE, THE PENDING ITEMS ARE IN CAIRO"

me: "am I talking to a freakin' machine here? Are you even listening to what I"m asking you???? I need to know if the case has even been SENT to Washington for security checks yet"

DOS witch: "MA'AM THERE IS NOTHING PENDING HERE, THE PENDING ITEMS ARE IN CAIRO"

me: "thanks, bye."

Oh Doodle I hear you! Was she the one who could constantly interrupt you before you even finished your sentence and had a funny accent that kind of made her sound like Madame Cleo? I gave up calling DOS after I got her twice.

I don't know who Madame Cleo is but yes she did interrupt me which ticked me off even MORE!!!!! I think they read from a script.

All I wanna know is if someone is waiting on us for something!!! They told him to submit two pictures on top of the ones in packet3. He went to the embassy to give them and there was no one there that could simply put it in his folder. He was told to go back on a certain day, which he did and then was told to go online and make an appt to bring them. #######???? At that point we gave up since there's no where online to make such an appt so I emailed them last monday to ask how to make this mysterious appt online or if it would be ok to just DHL them with our case number and photos included and no one has answered my frikkin email.

I just wanna know where my case stands. If we are stuck in security checks for months then so be it but I just wanna know where we are. If we are sitting in a desk awaiting the photos that we have attempted twice to deliver then let me know, you know?????

Where's that one with the chick pulling the hair out??? I need it!!!!

#######!!!!????!!!!!

I KNOW this has got to be maddening! I have such a hard time understanding why the "Immigration System" is not on one large database that everyone logs into...assign "catergories" so that when you punch in the case number, you can see exactly at what point the file is at. Don't get me started on what an inept system this whole process is!

I'm sorry Doodle! Hang in there. How about this one.....

Nope I need the one with the girl pulling the hair out. I'll search Dee's posts 'cause I know she had it. lol.

Well I feel silly complaining because it's only been 2 weeks but the point isn't the wait...I'm prepared mentally to not see him until Feb if that is what happens but what I guess I didnt' prepare myself for is not knowing where our little folder is. If it's waiting in line then it can do so patiently. I just wanna know if it even is headed to a line or if some numbskull is sitting on it waiting for the photos before they send it to DOS and meanwhile my husband has been there twice trying to give them to him. If we have wasted these two precious weeks because they're waiting on the photos I'm gonna blow a gasket I tell ya!!!!!!!

Plus I've been more active in my fertility message boards so now I have baby making on the brain and I wanna start making a baby already!!!!!! I mean I'm 41 soon to be 42 so I think I only have one or two more baby making years left in me for cryin out loud!!!!
