I am slowly disposing of my clothes here. I don't think I need so much when I go to KY. But I would bring my school credentials, my daughter's papers, the stuff that fiance gave me, my makeup kit (I'll need it for my cosmetology career), pictures of the family, IDs, etc.

Oh my HYENA, that is AWFUL!!! It would have killed me having to have to go through all that considering what you and your fiancee are going through right now. Dang that online flower service!!! Boycott them!

I got 2 dozens of red roses at work last friday from dear fiance. Loved it!

I had an OK VD except my gifts backfired completely...really badly! I posted on Thaivisa but apparently you're barred from criticizing anyone, even scamsters if they advertise on the website..giving them an endless supply of victims while being assured the moderators will delete and warn any posts even if it's a blatant scam. I'm very disappointed in thaivisa.

FOREVER FLORIST BANGKOK, THAILAND
1. I ordered a flower vase and a fruit basket
2. Confirmation showed 2 identical flower orders
3. I contacted Nittaya by phone...phone went dead
4. Immediately emailed saying "answer your phone please there's been a mistake," etc
5. Called back and left a phone message and immediately got an email response (funny how that works) claiming their "call center is closed" little shop it is, what "call center"? Her email maintained I ordered 2 identical flowers so I copied my pay pal receipt proving I ordered 1 fruit 1 flower
6. I email again, she emails back maintaining I ordered 2 identical flowers. I demand to speak to her
7. email "sorry but your order has gone out" so I ordered another fruit basket asking her to combine flowers to one so it wouldn't look stupid realizing she's going to do what she wants anyway
8. duplicate orders of DEAD...BONE DEAD FLOWERS ARRIVED (I have photos) with degrading message (no kidding), incorrect spelling of recipient's name and message was written "down" to the recipient, if you know what I mean (nothing like I ordered)
9. Receive email saying fruit cannot be delivered until the 16th (this was Valentines day, the 14th) giving me only 1 hour to cancel order. I was 7 minutes late to my computer (mind you, calling and leaving many messages since I knew she could hear them)
10. I send email, call telling of the dead flowers (which was completely ignored despite their "24 hour service"...scammed again, I think)
11. Took pictures of dead flowers and since I'm not in Thailand (and I don't tolerate this BS) and since neither PayPal or Visa tolerates this BS/childish games, either I filed a dispute (which means pay pal yanks the money back and waits for proof). yes, I've got 2 dozen certifiably DEAD flowers and a degrading message for proof (OK, to be honest, 3 out of 48 flowers were OK).
12. Once the money was pulled back pending review, Nittaya calls me a fraudster still refusing to look at the pay pal receipt showing my original order (1 flower 1 fruit). Suddenly her "call center" is opened and calls my fiancee (Valentines/Birthday party going on...all are shocked at the dead flowers, vindictive message) and she wants to take them back, rushes a driver over (I told her we were taking pics of her dead flowers and posting on the internet) the driver is also shocked...they're really dead flowers, he said! "No wonder you're not happy" got a good laugh for the other 7 people there.

I post this on thaivisa where I found these clowns, post is deleted no one tells me why so I post again and get a message telling me to contact the company if I have any problems (read 1-12 above...that's what I was doing all night for 8 hours! contacting these fools)...anyway, I'm shocked at thaivisa, pissed off at forever florist but in the end, we got to communicate better than we had and I learned sooo much had been misunderstood neither of us had a clue and ironed out major problems which turned out to be nonexistent only due to misunderstandings.

That was my Vday!

It's happy dance time! Good thing I'm the only one here so I can do my Fred Astair routine between the equipment racks. The e-mail came in from CRIS at 1101Z that our petition was approved and the NOA2 mailed yesterday. Not a single touch since NOA1 for 175 days then poof, here you go. kicking.gif

I haven't told her yet. I'm going to try and keep it a secret until tomorrow. I have to get up and go to work early so I want to just leave the printout in her early wakeup Valentine's Day card. (The mushy card, chocolates, photobook of the last year and such come right before we go to dinner at the Top of the World Club. It takes months of planning to make V-day work up here.) Then the office phone will ring a few hours later and I'll try to act casual. devil.gif

Thanks everyone, I am always careful.

HD - NICE! you scheduled your interview date already.

Now for the medical, remember to schedule at least 2 days for yourself. If you are having kids do the medical schedule 3 days. DO not forget your medical and vaccination records. Necessary vaccinations are already included in the fee.

BEST TIME TO GO - 1PM so you beat the morning rush. Always have a full lunch because there will be a lot of waitng. No appointments needed its all walk in.

GODSPEED


for the medical - others tell me to go there at 7am to avoid the day's rush... Which is which?

I just want to thank you all for the help and support. For the people that haven't got approved yet hopefully it will be soon. I have one thing to say don't even bother callin the Service Center because they are not helpful at all. They will even get you more depressed.

Everything was going okay. USCIS approved it on time. But when it got to the US Consulate in New Delhi, it took awhile to get the interview. Then we got 221g status. Then we gave more documents and evidence, and waited. And waited. They then let it expire and sent it back to the USCIS. So that is where I'm at now. sad.gif

Just want to vent a little! I so want to kick Aaron right now. I have been telling him to order the tax transcripts for the previous years and well, he didn't do it... Now that we have the NOA2, he doesn't have the time to do it because of all the freaking system upgrade at work and it's top prio. I mean, why does it have to get this late to do it! ARghHHH!!!
