Well we did it ... almost 8 months, lots of frustration and a hellishly long 3 hours in the embassy and we are out the other end.

To be honest, it hasn't even sunk in yet. We are so tired and stressed from the whole affair that when we got back to belfast last night we just went to bed. I think it will be a few days. When we get my passport back then we will celebrate.

My sincerest thanks to EVERYONE here. To those that helped answer my dumb ### questions to those who posted the guides and to the genius hat set up this site. Without it we would have been in the dark vis a vis a lot of the pitfalls and issues at hand.

And for those of you that haven't made it yet take heart. Just over two months ago we were still waiting on NOA2, It's coming for you soon and when it does your feet won't hit the ground until you get that visa.

Now, I'm off to write my resignation letter ...

Thank you!

And congratulations!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Well our visa arrived today .. so that's (almost) that ... the envelope has to go back to get resealed as my beloved opened it but it's not a biggie as it doesn't have to be re-evaluated etc.

Best wishes to you all.

Congratulations, Eli. Let me know when the wedding is, I'll be there. My Natalya has her interview in June 30, in Moscow. And, even though we've been warned NOT to purchase airfare until after the interview, I have reservations for her to fly in to Portland on July 18 (I booked it a month ago and as of now the price has almost doubled).

Be sure to get in touch when you arrive in Oregon, we'll have a beer at McMenemins.
