Hey Kayla, quick question! Did you check Intend or Do Not Intend on your I-134? I know you told Maggie, but I can't find the post now. :(

Krystle, I hope everything works out in your favor. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!


I checked do not intend and then wrote that it was N/A just like in the sample I-134. Had no problems. :)

Morning everyone!

Only 5 days until Mathew moves. Tomorrow and Wednesday I've really got to get all this cleaning and arranging finished. I'm just so excited now that I can't stand it! He's coming! Yayy!!!!

Aw Jenn I understand your reasons for abandoning me. ;) I still love you and will forgive you this ONCE LOL.

Now it's only 8 days left until Mathew moves and I'm feeling so lazy that nothing is getting done. I want to repaint my room but I'm thinking that will be a project we can do together. I'm ready for it all to be over with!

I'm loving Krystle's wedding pictures. Very, very pretty!

And Maggie what happened to your kitty? Is it the one you brought down with you? :(

Now it's Karen's turn to get married and then mine, then frenzyheart!

I think I probably will end up taking him with me to that family thing. I mean, it's just right down the road so it's not very far. All else fails I can give him a code word to say when it's time for us to go.

I've been loosely following the oil spill and it's absolutely terrible. I hope it doesn't reach florida by the time you get there. Not only will it ruin your fun in the sun but it would be catastrophic in it's own way. :( Booh oil!

I just had the most awkward and strained conversation on the phone. My uncle, who I haven't talked to in YEARS just called and was all like "What's up, young lady?". Totally freaked me out because I didn't know if he had a purpose for calling or what the deal was but he never got around to it until about 10 minutes into the phone call. Lots of weird silences. In any case, the family(the part we don't speak to) is having a memorial service for one of my other uncles and he wanted to know if I was going to make it. I mean, I don't agree with what went on in the family after my great grandmother died, but I was 13 and I don't think she would want any bad feelings between us. In short, I told him yes I would be there.

Then, of course, I looked at my calendar. The 16th is the day after Mathew gets here(he moved his date from the 14th to the 15th). I don't know if I should go now or not because he doesn't know these people and it may be a little much for him. But then again, it would give them the chance to know him. I don't know.

Congrats on your beautiful wedding, Krystle! I'm glad it was everything you wanted it to be. Mrs. Jenkinson looks good on you. ;)

Now it looks like I'm the lone survivor, lol.

I read Jenn's updates on her website, and I'm happy to see that she's doing well. I can't wait for her to some back and confirm it though! We all miss our Jenn.

So I finally got a bit of our website finished. It's http://mathewandkayla.angelfire.com if anyone wants to take a looksee.

Maggie if you loved me you'd wait to file with Mathew and I. :P But seriously, have you guys checked into rent-a-center or anything as a last resort? Sometimes they actually have some pretty good stuff there. When Mathew and I first started dating mom went crazy right before his first visit to the house and got a new TV because the one she had was kind of crappy and old. She looked around everywhere and ended up just getting one at rent-a-center. Of course we took it back in a few months when the one she wanted came on sale at a store in town, but it was a decent alternative.

Today is Jenn's big day. I feel so nervous for her but I know that everything is going to be okay. But she will be in my thoughts and prayers. She's been like my big sister that I run to whenever I've had problems with some things so this whole thing really just blows me out of the water. But it's all going to be okay. I know it will. We're a family and we're going to be together for a long time, right?

Krystle remember that we want those pictures or you'll be in big, big trouble! ;)

Krystle everything is gonna be okay. When I looked it up last night I got the same website as everyone else and it looks like it can be treated pretty well. I'm not saying don't be scared. I know it's scary anyway. But it's gonna be fine!!!

I'm praying for you Jenn. Friday is going to bring good things.

16 more days until Mathew's move. yayyyyy!!

Ok, all is fine, I just wanted tp point out that Jenn is blessed in other ways :star:


Wow Kayla I'm so happy for you, 19 days will come before you know it.
You have cats right? How many does he have?


I've got one and he's got one. Scary thing is that mine is a bit of a princess and can't stand other cats to be on her turf and his cat is declawed. I'm afraid there's gonna be a knock-down-drag-out in my living room. Kitty poo is my princess and Snow is gonna be her sister so they'll just have to learn to get along.

Mathew gets here in 19 days. I just can't wait. May 14th will be a very happy/stressful/exciting day for me. I think I may take the next day off so that I can help him unpack and everything. He probably wont be here until 9 or 10 Friday night since he'll be driving the 15 hours so I know he'll be WAY too tired to unpack anything except the cat.

Jenn I will be praying for you on April 30th. Our little family can't be broken up. I do think that everything happens for a reason, and that something brought us all together. We have all been each others rocks when the times got bad and I feel such a bond with each and every one of you. We will all make it through this hurdle together, too. :)

Today is Maggies wedding day! I'm so happy for her. She might have been the last of us to interview but she sure left me in the dust on getting married ;). I hope she has a beautiful wedding and that everything goes smoothly for her.

Jenn emailed and asked me to tell everyone that she has gotten everyone's emails, but that she's been so busy she hasn't had time to answer. She also says that she loves us all and to forgive her for not responding yet.

Has everyone been looking for the information she requested???

Well here's the good news!!!

He called the consulate and did the same thing that the person Maggie posted about did, and he got his tracking number. The lady he spoke to was really nice and recognized his name because when they were processing the visas she said she thought "Finally! A name I can understand!" lol. But apparently he forgot to write the apartment number down on the envelope so they returned it to the consulate and it has been there since April 9th.

So now he has to call back today and see if he can go pick it up or if he needs to bring them a new envelope. If he's going to be down there already I don't see why he couldn't just pick it up.

But it looks like the wedding and everything are back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe she read it wrong. Don't get stressed out already. Just wait until tomorrow and see what you find out.

I think the congressmans aide is done helping Mathew and I. She was a little hateful this morning when I called to ask if she had heard anything.

Every year mice get in our house. I don't know how and I don't know why, but the mommy comes in and has babies. I've looked for holes that they could slide in through, and nothing.

But they are VERY bold little creatures. One of them actually ran into the middle of my living room while I was sitting on the couch and just LOOKED AT ME. I even tried to scare it away and it still just sat right there and didn't move a muscle.

I hate mice. And I hate spiders. And I hate pollen. :(

Jenn, we love you.

Krystle I hope you get good news today!

I saw on my thread where he had posted that he called the embassy so on monday morning I'm going to have Mathew call and see if he can't get some info out of them.

And as if this month hasn't already been a wonderful one, I may be going on strike tomorrow. I should know here in the next couple of hours.

I just can't seem to catch a break. :(

I just saw this Maggie and I swear I could just hug you for letting me know. I emailed the consulate again and I hope they actually reply back to me. The congressmans aide still hasn't contacted me back so I don't know what's going on with that part of it.

Everybody get your crossing buddy again. We're gonna make a marathon out of this. ;)

Well, no good news today. Mathew called the Depot and the mail people couldn't find anything there for him and his mailman doesn't remember having a package for Mathew.

So I called the congressmans aide and gave her a list of questions to ask Montreal. Hopefully they'll bring us some good news tomorrow.

Oh, and by the way. Springtime, you suck. You and all of your pollen can kiss my hiney.

He went to the post office he bought the envelope from and to his local office. They can't tell him anything and don't have anything. From what the supervisor told us, if they cannot deliver his mail to him then they have to keep it for 15 days. During that time they must send out TWO failed delivery notices before being sent back to the consulate.

The whole time I was talking to the supervisor she was like "And the embassy didn't write it down?????". I would think that they would, but either they didn't give that to the lady from the congressman's office or they just stuff the envelopes and send them on their way.

What really bothers me is that if it can't be found, his passport is lost. They'll have to conduct an investigation as to why, blah blah blah and it'll take forever to replace.

Guess there wont be a wedding afterall....

Canada Post doesn't store anything in their system but tracking numbers. Without the tracking number we don't know where the package is. Without knowing where it's at we can't fight with the Consulate because THEY said they mailed it.

It's nice to know that paying almost $20 for something and having signature required means NOTHING to Canada Post.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
So he didn't find it. But he did look at his bank statement and there's a transaction number for that purchase. So he's going to take it to the post office we bought it from and see if they can do a reprint or even just see what the tracking number is.

I really hope this works. Otherwise we're screwed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Just got off the phone with the congressman's office. Montreal is telling her that the day they printed it, they also mailed it. That's funny to me because a.) Mathew hasn't gotten it and b.) it isn't showing that in the DoS system. Mathew is searching through his car right now to see if he can find the receipt from when we bought the envelope to get the tracking number off of that(according to Canada Post website they also list them on there), but he's been searching for about 25 minutes now so I guess that means he can't find it.

I feel like throwing up.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
We had so many things to stress us out that week that we never even got the tracking number off of the package. :( Right after we walked out of the consulate we realized and have been kicking ourselves ever since.
Kayla*MathewFemaleCanada2010-04-13 21:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Because the privacy waiver probably wont make it to the congressman's office until Tomorrow. Then the girl in his office will have to look into it. Probably Friday on that. And then for Montreal to get off their asses and either send it out or tell us what's wrong that'll be another week or so.

I'm not at all being optimistic that it's going to happen in a fast manner. I keep saying it, but it keeps being true. I feel so defeated. Yeah, we know we were approved and the visa has been printed but it's also been almost 3 weeks since that happened. It hurts so much to know all of this, but to picture that visa sitting at the bottom of a pile or god knows where else it could be. It certainly isn't in the mail, that much we know.
Kayla*MathewFemaleCanada2010-04-13 20:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
I called the congressmans office this morning. I was told that I needed to mail them a privacy waiver and then she would look into our case. Not a problem because I had already filled it out and just had to put it in the mail.

So just for fun I decided to call DoS to see if maybe by some slim chance they had posted it as mailed. The girl I talked to today said that our case was still pending because he was put in AP. I tried to explain to her that the other person I spoke with told me that for a K-1 you have to go a step further to see the actual status of the visa and that I had been told repeatedly that the visa had been printed on March 24th. Of course, this lady said that she WAS going that step further and that they were not allowed to tell us when the visa was printed and that it was wrong. She was very snotty. So I called her an idiot, hung up, and proceeded to break out in tears right in the middle of AT&T. Yes, customers around and everything.

So once I calmed down(thanks to my wonderful co-workers), I called back. And after holding for 25 minutes I got to talk to someone who actually knew what they were doing. She looked at it and said that it said that it was transferred, but she didn't know where or why(so that's still a mystery). But she also confirmed that we were NOT in AP and said that she didn't know where in the world the other girl got that from because it was CERTAINLY not on our file. I told her that I had been told before that our visa was printed on the 24th and she said she didn't see it, but then said "OH WAIT!! I forgot there's something else I can do!" and she looked at whatever that was and confirmed that it had been printed on the 24th, but that they had made a mistake on the visa(I'll go ahead and guess they misspelled his name since it is spelled with only one T), but that they reprinted it the same day. After that she saw no other notes. She was very, very, very helpful and was on the phone with me for a good 25 minutes researching everything. She told me to definitely contact my congressman because they should be able to get something done for me.

So now I'm at a roadblock. The only thing that I can do is let the congressman's office do their work and hope that they are able to get something done. :(

Maggie, I would suggest always calling back twice if you hear something that sounds wacky. I've gotten 2 people who didn't know what they were doing.
