Started off the morning to kind of a bad start today. My fiance went to have his medical exam yesterday, should have done it 3 weeks ago but that's a whole other issue, and he's got a thing for waiting until the very last possible moment.(something I'm going to have to learn to live with because I am a planner!) Anyway, he ended up having to receive every possible vaccination there is and it cost him hundreds of dollars yesterday. I really think just because he wasn't as well informed as he should have been, he might have gotten scammed a little bit. Also, he forgot his passport and has to go all the way back to capitol today too and then again tomorrow because I'm flying in. Somehow this is my fault.I need to vent! I just don't know exactly what I'm venting! I think the stress is getting to us even though we are so close now. Grr.

Anyway, second interview is Monday, and I'm more frustrated than excited.


Good luck on his interview!!!


Yeah, the closer we get the more worried/stress we seem to get. It won't go away until visa in hand and AOS filed. Don't worry though, it will all get done eventually and everything will be perfectly fine. All you can do is take it one day at a time, and do what you can within your means for that day... that's it. Deep breath...and remember... no matter what, this process will show you both how well you can work together, come together, and in the end strengthen you with patience and love towards each other.

and feel free to vent here anytime... that's why we're here. We all feel the stress from this process and life in general.

Jenn: don't be so negative, think positive & be confident! I guess I'm a dork too coz I had no clue what games Maggie & Kayla were talking about. I wish that couple lots of luck!
Maggie: simple is just fine!
Kayla: glad you have a planning personality because the only thing I can plan is a getaway!


Thank you beautiful girl =)

Well, the more I hear about these games the more I start thinking I am the dork because I have never played them :) Haven't ever even touched a Wii, Gamebox, Playstation.. my sister was really into a lot of these online games.... one of these days I will have to give it a try.

Anxiously watching the Turkish forum today. One of them had their interview today and waiting to hear the outcome. It seems Ankara has been handing out AP to majority of the males. Not the females though. Waiting to hear what happened and if they ended up getting AP. The petitioner lived in the US for 22 years, and has been with the USC for a while.. if they get put in AP I am going to really stress. If we get put in AP I don't know what I'll do :) That would add another 4-6 months wait.. and time is not exactly on our side with a lot of things.

I really hope they have good news!

We're heading into another weekend with a snow storm. Strange for Virginia.. but I am leaving for Michigan tomorrow, so I guess I will miss it. Of course, I am going somewhere even colder with MORE snow.. so maybe I would be better off if I just stayed here :)


They'll have good news, and don't you worry... It will work out for you both .. I just know that you will get approved and there will be no more waiting. Let us know the results though of that person, because if it does make you stress at their result, we'll be here to help!

I finally started getting Kenyth to order our wedding stuff...

I think we're going with the purple and silver interlocked double heart theme...

I'm starting to think I'm too simple though, idk... even our cake I want plain square, white frosting, sharp cornered, layer sitting on layer with just a purple frosting band around the base of each layer. Our topper on top, is a glass heart with engraved interlocking hearts and our names. No flowers. No design.

The other side too is .. it can be rather frustrating trying to design and plain things I am not even in the same country as.

Thankfully Kenyth is doing a lot and having a lot of input and help.

I'm not sure what server he's on in Aion, but as soon as I find out I'll blow it up! I tried playing it with him for a while, but something about this computer it doesn't like and wont run it without being laggy. I like the game and all, I just can't play it. Maybe when I buy a new computer I'll be able to and wont be so grrrrr.

I just recently started playing WoW like maybe a month ago. I picked my server based on what I thought was the coolest name, lol. Zangamarsh(sp) is what I'm on. But I've got characters on other servers. I've been trying to find the server with the least amount of stupid kids on it.

Mathew and I are dorks too. LOL


theres stupid kids on every server lmao.

We were mainly on Laughing Skull - leeeeeroy jenkins. His name is Kenyth (yes, he used his real name for his character..lol) ..mine is Oobatnep .. When I'm alliance my name is pentaboo.

Aion is very detailed graphic wise, you can down all the settings but you'd probably still lag a bit (I know I do lol), I need a new computer too. Any new games come out and mine won't be compatible anymore.

Well.. things may have changed since I had financial aid, but it used to be that once you turned 24 you were considered "independent" even if you lived with your parents.. and THEN.. they gave you even more money.

My advice to anyone who will listen. DON'T TAKE IT. Take only what you absolutely need.. don't buy $500 razor phones.. or ( in my case) go on an insane shopping spree for clothes because guess what.. You have to pay that back some day. Oh, and if you go through an exit interview at your university where they tell you that financial aid payments will be between $50-$100 a month don't believe it.. and then when your first bill comes in at $350 ( and you are unemployed because hey, you just graduated).. send the bill to the exit interview person who told you to expect $50 - $100..

and then.. if you do take all the money they give you ( sometimes $2k to $3k a semester more than you actually need).. what you should NOT do if you can't afford to pay the bill is take a deferment. That interest really adds up and by the time you actually get a good job that will allow you to actually be able to make those loan payments... and still buy food and put a roof over your head...well, by that time you owe twice what you actually borrowed and will be lucky to have it paid off 20 years after you are out of school...

Oh.. but I digress..

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and check to see if there was any news from A & D :)


I was given a bit more than I needed, probably 2000$ more. I did spend it, and I do kick myself for it, I have 1000$ left to pay on my student loan. Would have been gone by now..lol. Thankfully it's like 7% interest so it's not too painful... but with the rest of the debt, quite a bit my ex husband left me with...it's a pain.

So totally grumpy right now.

I started playing WoW as a way to irk Mathew. He doesn't like it. But he plays Aion like constantly, so as a way to make him grumpy I started playing the game he hated. LOL. Anyways, I get it, and then I do the trial for the second expansion and I really really love my Blood Elf. Well when I'm right in the middle of something it cuts me off and tells me to contact billing. I didn't even know my time ran out today on that expansion. Grrrsssss. Guess I'll have to buy it. :angry: Booh!

And it's sad that this phases me in the slightest because I was all set to hate it(but of course, stick it out until Mathew's head blew off, LOL), but then I slowly started to enjoy it.


Kenyth and I both play WoW and Aion!!!...Mostly just Aion now though Lol...what server?!

I played video games with this guy for years, he went off to boot camp - he was in the marines for awhile and came to visit me in Canada last year. He had this marine friend transfer WoW servers to ours, introduced me to him... it was Kenyth and that is how we first met. On Laughing Skull from a mutual friend. lol

Oh ..we're dorks =( lol

I've spent the better part of the day being lazy and playing video games. I don't want to, but I guess I'll have to go to Virginia and buy a drill to fix our mailbox with. Some idiot keeps hitting it.

I read in the Canada forum that someone was bringing their cats down by driving and the BO never said anything about them...


Yeah I read that too I think

But I thought I also read something about needing documents if animals crossed the border, but I can't find anything solid on that now :\

It's a bit different for Canadian cats because Canada and the U.S. are so much alike. I would bring vaccination records just in case she's asked for them, but other than that she doesn't have to do anything. No chips or anything. Many, many Canadians have brought down their animals and either aren't questioned about them, or they are just asked for the vaccination records.

Mathew is bringing down his cat is the reason why I know. I'm not just making stuff up to spout out. I searched the Canada forums for the answer.

Here Maggie:

http://www.visajourn...h...827&hl=CATS

If you're flying just bring a letter from the kitty vet saying they're okay to travel. Sometimes they aren't asked but I'd do it to be on the safe side. If you're driving just make sure the kitty is healthy!



and I should continue reading before I post...lol

Okay great!! thank you Kayla!!

I woke up this morning and I prayed that God would let me have a good day... Glenoi's medical went great btw.
But my highlight of the day: anyone remember that picture that Kayla posted that said "always kiss me goodnight; it's on the last page of my lovebook" My coworker saw my lovebook, knew how much I love the picture and she got me a big poster with the words on!! So I can actually put it on the wall above my bed! It feels so good to be reminded that you're loved and thought about!


Glad his medical went good!!!
Yes, I remember that photo... Ohhh that was so nice of your co-worker =)

You need to vaccinate them against rabies, put them the chips and at least 2 weeks before you travel you have to get the confirmation of your vet that they are capable for the travelling. I asked my vet and she told me that. This is in Croatia and maybe for you in Canada is different but I think that it should be the same everywhere.
Be sure about that and check all details to avoid eventually misunderstanding on the border.



Thanks AandD!!

Is Kenyth coming for your interview?


No, he used most of his vacation time spending xmas and new years with me, so he needs to save up the rest over the next few months so he can have the wedding off and helping me settle in lol

I've been calculating all the fees for the next few months.. it's disgusting lol

And I'm glad yours is before mine, because I can watch how long it takes Mathew to get his in his hand, so then I'll have a rough idea of how long mine may take.

Maggie you never said what you'll be doing for Valentines (unless I missed it)
Quick question: who's writing their own wedding vows?
Also, is it me or the song "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield is the ultimate love song? Gosh I love it!!!!



oops, I'm sorry, I did miss it :blush: .. I am not sure honestly.. I am trying to convince Kenyth to come back for Valentines even though he just went home a few weeks ago... lol... but if I call DOS this week and we have an interview for March... then that won't happen! Save moneys time!! .. I suppose we'll just spend time with each other and I will probably send him a corny letter and some chocolates =)

I would love to write my own wedding vows... Kenyth wouldn't have a problem with it but I'd get so nervous with all our friends and family listening and probably forget it all and turn bright red and shake... lol so maybe the traditional repeat after me, 'i do'. lol

yes, it is a beautiful song =)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

I'm not pressing charges.. Only because he knows where I live, what car I drive etc.
I'm just scared that I might regret pressing charges. Another reason is that the system is f***ed up. NO detective have contacted me since I got robbed, matter of fact NO DETECTIVE have been assigned to the case and it's been 2-3 months. If I do decide to press charges, they'll find him, lock him up, he'll post bail snd a court date will be set umpteenth years from now... Thus leaving me vulnerable to anything that he might think of doing to me for revenge.
So I rather Be safe and broke instead of dead and broke!


gah, yeah I suppose you're right.. that sucks!

It's as if I can never get a break. Just when I was slowly coming out of my depression, I'm hit with something again
As you guys know, I was robbed in November and I had a disability check in my wallet. I submitted a fraud claim to disability stating that the check was stolen.
Today I come home to a letter sayig that my claim was denied because the check was signed by me and once the check is signed it's the same as losing cash. I swear that's exactly what the letter says. So in other words, I can deposit someone's check in my account as long as it's signed by that person... Doesn't seem right but I will call 1st thing monday morning. I can't be anymore down than I already am :crying: :crying: :crying:
I hope passing that interview will be the ultimate picker upper :(


yeah.. you can deposit someones check into your account as long as it was signed by them..it sucks right..I know :( I am so sorry Krystle

wait..if they cashed it.. isn't there a way now to track who cashed it/who robbed you?!

I haven't checked in for a while but just an update, my fiance had her interview in Jakarta Indonesia on January 12th and was approved, and her visa was issued today, January 21st!

I thought it was strange that it took 9 days from interview approval to visa issuance, they actually told her to fly back to Bali and they will mail her visa and passport to the Bali consulate. I guess they were very backed up in their visa admin.

Thanks for all the help, VisaJourney!
