We're writing our own vows. I'll probably be a bumbling fool on my wedding day. My vows will be incoherent. That, or I'll say:

"And you better promise to love me because the government says you're mine and I paid for you!"

At least he didn't rob you of your immigration stuff too!! That's always a plus.

Although, I don't know what he's want to do with it unless he wanted to marry a Jamaican man, LOL

So basically that also means that if you steal a check from someone, and then sign their name to the back of it, that you can cash it and not have to worry about being gotten for fraud. How awesome the system is!!!!

I really am so excited for everyone here that have gotten their interview dates. I just know that we're all going to pass with flying colors! I really look forward to planning our meet-up whenever it's possible. It would be so awesome to see so many happy couples in one place at the same time.

I have decided that I'm going to try my best to go to Canada for Mathew's interview. The only thing that sucks is that if his interview isn't the week of March the 20th, I'm going to have to miss his graduation and I really don't want to do that. I suppose I could take a couple days off of work without pay, but we need every bit of money we can get to start our lives with. I'm still living at home so I don't have a place of my own. We're gonna need EVERYTHING. But in the end, I think being at the interview, supporting him, holding his hand, and being there to celebrate when they tell him we're approved is the most important thing. His graduation is a big milestone for him, but the interview is a big milestone for US.

Oh, and Maggie!!! Monday morning you need to call DOS because there's been a burst in scheduling. It's been mostly for CR-1's, but we might get lucky!!!

Oh, I really really hope so.

My new awesome tanning lotion came in today, lol. Black Storm 60x. Mathew is sooo worried that I'm going to get too dark. He likes it when I'm pale. I just can't stand it. Guess we'll settle for in the middle.

Awww I wanna see!! I'm going to go today and start getting the stuff together for our love book. I'm trying to talk him into one more visit before his interview that way we can get more evidence. I know we have more than enough but I'm going for overkill. That's just the kind of person that I am!!!

Goodmorning everyone!
I see yesterday was a quite day in the forum, we must've been busy @ work.
I noticed AandD visited the forum yesterday but she didn't post anything, hmmm.
As the days are getting closer I'm excited to see my hubby and pass that interview. But last night I was reading reviews about my consulate and it turns out they're not very nice, so now I'm nervous. I can't think of a reason why they would deny us but in the mean time I'm trying my best to stay positive and have faith.
Everyone: have a great day!

20 DAYS TIL OUR INTERVIEW!



Have you been working on that scrapbook??? I think it would be the best idea ever since your consulate is so grumpy. You bring there, toting a hand-made scrapbook(or lovebook) would give them next to NO reason to deny you. I mean, as long as you pass affidavit of support requirements, which you do, right???

This is gonna be easier than taking candy from a baby, Krystle. Don't you worry!

I've been working on this notebook for Mathew for about 6 months. I write him letters a few times a week(I tried doing every day but that didn't work) and I've also written down recipes for his favorite dishes that I make since he has a problem with cooking.

I think I'll send him some candy or something too. Plus I'm going to preoreer him final fantasy 13, but I don't think I'll make that a valentines day present.

I think it probably does, but who caresssss.

I DID get through to DOS. Poor girl was exhausted. No interview yet. Like I didn't know THAT was gonna happen, lol.

Now I'm off to get ready for work!! Tanning bed today yayyyyyyy(I'm determined to be tan before the wedding!!!)

Everyone have an awesome day!

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

Stasia I suggest you start a new forum on that topic because that is very important. Not sure where I read about it but it's important to know which is which.



I agree with Krystle.

So I'm now going on 30 minutes on hold for DOS. This last time I called I got a message about the Haiti disaster making hold times long, and then I got hung up on a few times, but now I'm holding.

I feel so bad for taking a spot that someone could really be needing right about now, but I can't help but want to know if anything has changed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Wow, the DOS line is REALLY screwed this morning. When I called just now the first thing it said was "You have reached the visa office, all of our specialists are busy, please hang up and try again later". I never even got to press 1 and then 0!!!

Canada better be doing something awesome right now is all I've got to say! I've got a Canadian honey that I'm dying to snuggle!

And ahhh, he ALWAYS smells so good! Come on, Canada! I promise to let you sniff him one last time before I take him away forever. Pinkie promise!

I did call back to DOS today, and I got through, but instead of going to the waiting thing, the guy on there said "We're sorry, but all of our visa specialists are busy, please hang up and try again later".

I got so frustrated I didn't try again after that.

Jenn, I love the m&ms idea!!!

Are they still on Holiday? Wasn't yesterday a holiday for the United States?


Yeah, but they were still open. MLK day is one of those holidays where businesses can pick if they want to work or not. Mail doesn't run, but other businesses can be open if they want.

Ugh. My face is SOOO burnt today. Every year our store gets all geared up for spring and summer and we pretty much take over the tanning bed at the hair salon next door. Like a dummy I took off my makeup and put moisturizer on and layed the full 20 minutes. Bad idea, lol. Now my face tingles like crazyyy.

But that's okay. I tan so easy it'll be brown tomorrow.

Gotta get ready for that wedding, ya know! ;) We're thinking about doing a zumba class in the store after closing, I can't waitttt!

I'm not even going to entertain the notion that we'll miss our wedding. This is GOING to happen. It HAS to!

My thing is that once the sun comes out I have to get up, so I usually get up for atleast 30 minutes and then go back to sleep. When I'm in Jamaica w' my honey, I go to bed very early (like 830) and wake up @ like 7 and he HATES that because then I wake him up for "cookies," knowing that I got "cookies" before I went to sleep!
Wth is "mini-spooners & vault?"
I'm not sure what's up w' your avatar Kayla, on my phone I see the b&w pic but on my laptop I see the cute pic. Is it that you keep on changing it???
I still wasn't able to change mine, it keeps saying my pic is too big but it re'sized my first avatar..... IDK (I don't know)



Mini-Spooners is that Malt-O-Meal brand of frosted mini wheats. And Vault is that energry soda(I call it pop, lol) that is kinda like mountain dew. She would just sit at her computer with the bag of mini-spooners and eat it like chips. Yuck.

Now I love me some frosted mini wheats as much as the next person, but I couldn't eat only that for the rest of my life. Cap'n Crunch would be jealous!

I haven't changed my avatar since I changed it to the black and white picture. That's so weird!

I had a roommate in college once that got up EVERY morning at 5am.

She was kinda weird though. She only ate mini-spooners, and drank Vault. Like really. That was IT. Apparently when she was younger she looked at a hamburger, told it that it was dirty, and never ate meat again. She had to take soooo many vitamins just to keep herself regulated.

At least you're normal!

#######, is my avatar messed up???

Oh Yeah! Forgot about that.. but my company doesn't usually recognize most holidays and the park is open during a lot of them.. so I get to work on MLK day, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor day.. but hey, we do take President's day off..

Oh, and I do get two days off at Thanksgiving and two weeks off at Christmas.. plus my regular Non-Holiday vacation time.. so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

Maybe I will have to declare Monday a vacation day and not go to work :)


pfft, my job barely recognizes christmas. We get Christmas day off and that's it. The world runs on iphones, not dunkin donuts!

YOU DIDN'T? Oh my God woman, you probably have them worried. They all know your voice by now and even say "talk to you tomorrow" when you call. They are probably worried sick that you were in an accident or something. You had better call on Monday and put their minds at ease.



LOL, I know right?! That poor woman I always get is probably worried out of her mind about me right now!!! I must be like the highlight of her day!

I am willing to bet that even YOUR interview will be before mine :):)

Have you really been at the consulate a month a half already? My gosh, it doesn't seem like it had been that long. I would be going crazy.. you have so much more patience than I do, but I suppose if you can't do anything about it no point in getting all worked up.


Nah, montreal is done with Feb. scheduling already. I think they only schedule for one week in a month. So if we get scheduled next month that doesn't even mean that it'll be for March. It could be for April. I don't care when it is, as long as it's before the wedding.

I'm usually not this patient. I'm the person that wants everything now, now, now, now. But with this I'm calm. We're at the last step. After this he's mine forever and ever and I think that's something worth waiting for. I waited 4 years for this man to be mine again, a few more months wont kill me. I'm just so blissfully and happily in love with him. :)

And yeah, it's been a month and 6 days since our case was logged at Montreal. So it's been nearly a month and a half. I suppose when it hits 2 months I'll start getting grumpy again.

And believe it or not, but I didn't even call DOS today. I was so proud of myself.

I know this was a few pages ago, but I thought I'd point out that the person who posted that whole Montreal Interview things is going for a different visa type! They do all the scheduling differently, so you never know! You (well Kayla, I mean, haha) might get an earlier date if they decide to work more on K1s!!! :)


Yeah, we may get a earlier date, but since Montreal is so understaffed at the moment, I don't think that it would really make a difference what kind of visa it is. I've been waiting almost a month and a half and the anger has subsided. Now I just wait with patience and count my blessings already. I'm marrying my prince charming, after all! And surely to goodness we'll have our interview in time for our wedding. It's a little over 5 months away.

But an earlier date would be awesome. Then we could just work on our wedding details and forget about immigration until after we're married and it's time for AOS. :)

Our first little girl is going to be named lily. We know that for sure. I'd like to name our boy Alexander and call him Xander for short.

Krystle that sucks so bad about your check!! I guess that's why I'm glad AT&T is such a big corporation, they can't do that to us. And also, were union so they REALLY can't. Lol. Union would have their hides for something like that.

I really feel sorry for those working in the school systems. There is so many layoffs and it's hard to even get a teaching job in kentucky. Too much politics involved for me! Around here it's all about who you know if you want to be a teacher.

Oh, and I want at least one boy and one girl. I'm sure Mathew would be fine with all girls, but I want at least one boy to carry on mathews good looks and name :). He's got the most stunning blue eyes(somehow they don't come out right in pictures) so I'd love to have a little boy with those crazy blue eyes just like his daddy.

I can't wait to be a mommy. Here lately it's been getting worse. I think I've just hit that stage in my life where I feel it's time. But of course, were gonna be responsibile parents and wait until were financially stable before making little Mathew and Kaylas. He said he wants our little girl to look like me. Any of you that have me on facebook have seen how huge my cheeks were. I think that'd be so cute!!!

I did a search in the Canada forums and the police reports are good for a year. Mathews has an expiry date for a year after it was issued. So maybe things are different where you're from. :/
Kayla*MathewFemaleCanada2010-01-15 15:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Really I'd never have to think about working if I didn't want to once Mathew gets a job. His profession pays him very high. The only problem is our economy and that we're not sure when he'll land that job.

Besides, I was raised to not rely on anyone, to make my own money. I just happen to think that my mommy duties are more important than my pride. So I'll settle for working on the weekends and hanging out all week with my child. :)

We're hopefully going to try and not have kids for a year or so, but with as many icepacks as I have to use, that MIGHT be an issue. ;)

Well, my major is TECHNICALLY Environmental Science with Land Resources as my option. I want to be a wildlife biologist. BUT, I refuse to work after we have children for a while. So I'm completely unsure of if I'll finish, or if I'll get to use it once I am finished.

What I've decided to do is go back to school(or change my major) and go for photography. As much as I'm paying my photographer($1900), I'd me making a killing on it. I figure I can stay at home with the baby during the week and doing weddings and stuff on the weekends that way Mathew can take care of her(we want a girl!).

Right now I've restricted myself to only finishing up my basics that I haven't gotten to yet that way it wont hurt so bad if I change my major.

I really really hate reading books for a class. We're reading Jurassic Park for my English class and we have to write an argument paper about it. This is what the whole class is based upon, writing this paper.

Now you tell me how I'm supposed to get into this book enough to find a SPECIFIC quotation that I want to base my paper on? When I'm reading I'm going to be constantly looking for this stuff, and I'm not going to really get interested in the book enough for something to just jump out at me because I'll be afraid I'll get too interested and then miss it completely. I mean, really, I'm going to end up writing this thing on "Malcolm went to the bathroom with the dinosaur" or something.

Ugh. Whatever happened to doing punctuation assignments and writing papers on what you did for summer? I guess at my 3 year of college it was bound to change at one point or another, lol.
