Thanks! Our photographer originally wanted us to look up at him, but the sun was way too bright for that so we just looked at each other instead. If I regret anything about my wedding it wouldn't be the pictures. My photographer specializes in photojournalism, so none of that fake posing stuff. The picture of me and him lying down and kissing was actually us just catching a quick kiss. Turned out beautiful!

It's missing Kayla pics because Mathew took those with his camera. He hasn't sent me any of them. But I think ge only took pictures of me while I was getting ready to go out. He loves to watch me get ready.

lol, the food pictures were taken for my mom who just had gastric bypass as a joke. smile.gif

On the DS-160 it asks for a national identification number. Does it not apply or do we put the alien registration number that's listed on the NOA2???

Who here is interviewing in Montreal?! I just received my Packet 3....


Hopefully Packet 3 will be in Mathew's mailbox this week. But we'll be interviewing there.



Dont wait for packet 3 LOL........ it doesnt contain anything.. and they wont setup interview until they receive the document. All they do is list the website for each form you need.

(besides the checklist they give you and you need to bring with you)


So my suggestion to you and Matthew - Submit the forums to the embassy now tongue.gif It'll speed up getting your interview date - wasting time waiting for packet 3


I had almost everything done, and ready to go, before our packet even reached the consulate. Fuat absolutely refused to send it until we had official word.. and that seemed to take forever!! If I didn't have to have his signature on all those forms, I would have just mailed the darn thing myself smile.gif


Heck, with more men signatures just look like chicken scratches anyway. They probably wouldn't have noticed a difference, lol.

and..what..come again..... they don't have a cora's in the states either??????????????????????????????????????

wacko.gif Man..bubye healthcare, fantastic coffee, poutine and incredible french toast



yes... and buttery flaky croissants and delicious éclairs au chocolat.... that shows love right there.

They sell St Hubert gravy at the supermarket. It's probably not quite as good as the one they serve at the restaurant, but when I drive down with my stuff, I intend on bringing some so I can make homemade poutine if I find the right cheese.



Hmm...I'm getting a mental image now of Mathew driving down with his car full of St. Hubert gravy in a can, and him whining the whole way about the massive amount of money he had to pay the border guy to let him through, lol.

I can dream!


Hahaha! He could try to bribe the border guy with a few cans! whistling.gif
Matt tried to get me to bring him frozen croissants before. I had too long of a layover for it to be worth it though.

Why 7 months before you see each other again? Dont tell me you expect Montreal to take that long unsure.gif


Well, considering that the embassy information page on VJ says that it takes 4-6 months to get an interview there, and based on the wait of other people before me, it'll probably at least be feb. before he gets an interview.

But he doesn't graduate from engineering school until next April. After that, CAE gave him the option to stay on after his co-op and work part time while he goes to school. His dad said that since he'll be in school that he'll pay his apartment rent. So anything that he makes while working at CAE would go towards our wedding and living costs afterward. And since he's making $22 an hour, he's decided that he wants to stay at long as he can so he can make as much money as possible.

I think it's mostly guilt over the fact that we'll be living off of my salary until his work authorization comes through. But I support him.

okay... I just realized this...

I'm going to miss Tim Hortons and poutine so much when I move to the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crying.gif


lol


rofl.gif
lol Hell yeah!!



There's actually a few Tim Ho's in the states. I know the last time I checked the farthest south that they go is Ashland, KY(yay KY!!!), but that was before the opening of the Fort Knox location. I think they only go many one or two states West of Kentucky as well. But at least there IS some!!!

He'll miss poutine like crazy. I, on the other hand took lots of pictures of my breakfast at Cora's and my dinner at St. Hubert(my favorite thing in the WORLD). I think I may miss Canada more than him, lol.


Matt looooooves St Hubert. That's where Im taking him for dinner the day he arrives.


We went to Scores before I left, but it's just not the same. I think the chicken is more tender at St. Hubert or something. But the gravy should be in it's own freakin food group, it's so good. Yummmmm.

I'm uploading pictures from my visit, but I just noticed that we didn't take any pictures together. sad.gif sad.gif I guess we got so wrapped up in being together and spending time together that we just didn't pay any attention. Maybe we'll get another visit before the wedding, because right now he's just in misery. I am too, but I'm trying to be the strong person. I guess it hurts so bad because we're bracing ourselves to not see each other for 7 months. We'll see.

But I really think we need to see each other one more time, preferably before the interview so that we can get some more pictures for him to take as evidence. I sent every picture we had of us with the initial packet. I think it would be bad if we didn't have any new ones when he went.

Okay USCIS, let's get the ball rolling!!!

YOU DON'T LIKE POUTINE!??!

Enjoy your last night with your man! Hopefully, it won't be long until you guys are together again.



OK have to ask.. WHAT is poutine?

Kayla, have a safe trip home!!


It`s fries, gravy, and cheese curds, as a basic.

We didn`t end up going. After dinner we came home and played Mario until like 12 and went to bed. Didn`t even feel like going out to Montreal. Just wanted to be together as long as possible.

He`s out to Tim Hortons to get me breakfast before I leave. sad.gif In 15 minutes I`ll leave this apartment and probably never see it again.

you sound like someone I know... whistling.gif
Does he have both the french and then english keyboards installed? He probably does... and then you can switch from one to the other simply by pressing Alt + Shift.


He bought his computer from dell. It looks like an English keyboard. He just has his language settings on his keyboard as French. I remember he did something to my laptop to make it switch between english and french and for the longest time it would keep randomly converting back to french on me. I think he does it as torture. smile.gif I`ll get him back for it one day.

But since today is the 1 year anniversary of our first meeting I`ll go easy on him today.

I looked and I didn't see anything going to montreal... but I did a search on 10th range and there was something..could be yours - 8810524914 - Nov 12th to Montreal.

I know when I called NVC and they said they sent it to Montreal - it didn't actually go out the day they said lol


See when I look it shows nothing at all, even with other dates in the range. I guess it just wanted someone else to do it!!!

Well...now I get this:


System Unable to Process Request. An unexpected error has occurred with shipment tracking. Please try to track your shipments at a later time.

Okay, lets see if I can work his crazy french keyboard. I know its a little wacky on some things and I cant figure out which buttons to press for punctuation since they are all messed up on this one. Grrr!!

So far we've had a FANTASTIC time(Tee hee included wink.gif ). I actually DID have trouble at the border, but I don't know why. There was no one in the lines when I got there, so maybe it had been a slow day and he wanted to harass someone. But I told him I was vacationing to visit my fiance, and he got this weird look on his face, asked me if I visited him often, when was the last time, how we met, where he lived, if he was Canadian or American. I told him we had a K1 in progress and he had no idea what that was so I told him fiance(e) visa and he seemed to let up. Just made my perfect day even more perfect. I am just glad they didn't take me back to the room for questioning. And also, earlier that morning they must have saw something weird in my carry-on because they searched that. Funny to me since all I had was a jacket, my camera, and a book in there. My liquids were already on the belt. THEN, to top it all off Mathew was late, lol. Only by 15 minutes but at that point I was ready to scream! Not at him, of course. Just in general.


Yesterday we went and had breakfast at Cora's(best breakfasts ever!) and then we went to Quebec City so we could go to the Aquarium. It was SOOO cool! We spent about 2 hours outside looking at the polar bears and the walruses. He really liked the noise the walrus made when they come out of the water. Kind of sounds like a dog barking. Ended up staying for 3 hours and we watched the seal show. They're all sooo cute!! After that we visited all the old buildings in Quebec City. We didn't end up getting home until like almost 8. Fine with me because that means we were so hungry by that time that we just stopped and got St. Hubert's and I didn't have to cook. Yay!!

Alright, now that y`all have gotten a recap of my visit so far, I want to see some more approvals!!!

Right now I'm just worried about getting across the border. I brought my NOA1 and.2 with me, but I didn't get to work before we closed to get my boss to wirte a letter stating that I was scheduled to come back on the 16th. Its silly to worry, but I always still do.

...Still in AP. But she gave me my case number and told me that she had no idea why he was going through AP but we should be out soon. Told me to call back every day if I want. That's good because I will!!!

I just wonder if this has anything to do with his security clearances that he has with his company. Probably not, but could be!

yes, my honey proposed and gave me a ring...last new year's. though i have to admit i was not the best recipient - i sort of freaked out and was like, "what are you doing???" whoops. blush.gif but my divorce took forever and it still wasn't final at that point so i felt uncomfortable. but the bottom line was that i knew i wanted to spend the rest of my life with jose luis. through all the good and all the bad, until i keel over and die. so there you go. now every trip i see him he asks me again, and of course i always say yes. sometimes i ask him too. biggrin.gif



I laughed hysterically at Mathew because I didn't know what to do. He actually had to turn my head towards the ring FOR me because I was so nervous. Love his little heart for putting up with all of my weirdness.

Yay so it looks like we've got lots of good news today, but there is still more to come!!!!

Mathew proposed Feb 28th this year. The rain made his plans go bad, but it was still very, very beautiful. And I love love love my ring. They aren't necessary, but diamonds ARE a girls best friend. wink.gif


I finally added a pic!!!
My baby didn't actually propose, it was: we both have the same goals @ our age, love each other's personality and one day I just told him, I want him to myself for the rest of my life and he agreed. I go to Jamaica way too many times per year just to see him so I told him I'd move there but then the economy is BAD, so that's how I'm here in this forum pulling out my hair, waiting for my noa2! unsure.gif
We don't have a ring and I don't know how that's gonna work out because I loove yellow gold and he's a huge fan of titanium and stainless steel.... Don't ask me why!
My dream wedding is to have a beach wedding in red and white..... star_smile.gif
Let's see what happens.


You guys look so cute together!!!!

Has everyone here already 'officially' proposed? Has anyone not? I just refuse to propose over skype.



Mathew proposed Feb 28th this year. The rain made his plans go bad, but it was still very, very beautiful. And I love love love my ring. They aren't necessary, but diamonds ARE a girls best friend. wink.gif

Is anyone here planning to go to the interview with your fiancee?



Unless our interview is scheduled right near his graduation date I wont be able to attend. I planned on taking a week vacation then for his graduation and my other will be used for our honeymoon. sad.gif But as far as I know he'll probably go to work afterwards anyways. I just know his interview will go well. We've got a mountain of evidence(about to be more in 3 days!!!) and there's nothing they could ask that he wouldn't know.

I called DOS again and the woman I talked to was so nice.. but she said that the system still shows that my file was sent DHL on 10/27 and has not reached the Consulate yet.

So.. I told her that DHL is showing every file to the consulate, mailed between 10/27 and 11/2, has been received.. and that someone I knew in Turkey checked and said it was there.. but that she is still showing it has not arrived. I also told her that NONE of the packages listed on DHL weighed the same amount my packet did and that I was worried maybe it hadn't actually shipped.. or somethign was wrong.

She told me that if DHL was showing all those packages delivered that it probably was already there and the system just wasn't showing it.. and that happens sometimes. She said not to worry and to keep calling every day until I get the answer I want. I assured her I was going to call every day, and then I was thinking maybe I will have Kayla call too smile.gif


Well take shifts.. Send me the data, and we will aggravate them until someone says "Good HEAVENS!! Would someone please go to the damn mailroom and find this chicks file. NOW!"


rofl.gif Oh, that's great..

How about this for a schedule:

Calls to USCIS: Call and ask where are the approvals for Alex, Karen and Gayla

I'll call every hour, on the hour, from 9:00am - 11:00am
Kayla calls 11:00am - 1:00pm
Karen calls 1:00pm -3:00pm
Alex calls 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Gayla calls 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Calls To NVC: Call and ask where is the file for Kayla

Kayla calls 9:00am -11:00am
Jenn calls 11:00am - 1:00pm
Alex calls 1:00pm -3:00pm
Karen calls 3:00pm -5:00pm
Gayla calls 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Jenn calls 7:00pm - Midnight ( I'm usually working late.. so I'll take the night shift)

Calls to DOS: Call and ask if Jenn's file is in Turkey yet

Alex calls 9:00am -11:00am
Karen calls 11:00am -1:00pm
Jenn calls 1:00pm -3:00pm
Gayla calls 3:00pm -4:00pm
Kayla calls 4:00pm - 5:00pm

Of course, we will then all lose our jobs.. and not be able to show what we need on the I-134's.. but HEY at least we'll get our answers.

OK.. I OBVIOUSLY am into wasting time right now and NOT doing the work I should be doing smile.gif


You would not BELIEVE how much down time I get at AT&T. Holidays might be a busy time elsewhere, but we dont do those day after thanksgiving things. I got lots and lots time to annoy USCIS, NVC, AND DOS and still watch cartoons on the big screen TV. laughing.gif

Called USCIS and they said they could only see my approval date and not my mail out date to NVC. But she agreed that it seemed like a really long time for it to be in transit, but had to give me the standard 30 days thing.

Love Montreals little heart. They just don't know what's coming to them when I get unleashed. Poor, poor montreal. They'll probably kick Mathew out of Canada just to make me stop calling. Deliver him with a big ole bow on his head. Wouldn't that be nice!!!

I'm gonna call USCIS when I get to work.

Good morning!
Me too! Another one on my watch list went to RFE.. are they working on everyone's with the same NOA1 date but mine?


i don't know what's up...VSC seems to be slowing down and that's flipping me out a bit...there's been barely any movement on the remaining ones for 9/24 in days...i hope we're not all stuck somewhere collecting dust...though i don't know how anyone would be able to misplace mine...it's so huge!! blush.gif



They've probably got a team effort trying to lift and carry yours to the desk! Bad girl! laughing.gif
