When Alex came to visit I sent him home with a bag stuffed full of British foods - mince pies, a Christmas pudding, chocolate digestives, tea, etc. - and a big bottle of Heinz salad cream.

Unfortunately I packed it in his hand luggage without thinking - of course it counts as a liquid. It was confiscated at the airport - big, unopened bottle of salad cream. crying.gif

Oh well. I managed to bring some through with me when I visited the next year. I just made sure to pack it in my hold luggage this time!

I'm going to miss condensed milk and golden syrup - or am I? They're key ingredients in the most delicious recipes (i.e. chocolate caramel shortbread) but I suppose I may have a better diet this way.



I know you can get condensed milk and golden syrup here.. they use alot in St Lucia (lots of British products there) and I have seen in my local grocery stores... We have some good stores here in Maine. I am sure you can find things.
:-)

Now for me I would love to find some good salt fish and breadfruit! LOL



Oh my what it is that lol



Saltfish is just that - Salty Fish!! laughing.gif Most people don't like (here in states anyway) But I grew to love it!
Breadfruit is a big round starchy veggie... I loved that too.
I guess I dont really need either in my diet!! LOL




Thanks for explaining Irie.

Yep, I knew it, I'm going to lose 1 hour of my life this weekend!!! Like permanently. We had our time change in the US the first weekend in March, so I lost 1 hour there. Then I lost 5 hours in the time change flying here. So that's 6 hours lost, then add in the European time change this weekend, and I lose 1 more hour. So total loss of 7 hours, and I'll only gain back 6 flying home!! It's like the twilight zone wacko.gif hee hee! Only way to get it back is to come back in the fall when Europe changes time, lol!

Yeah, I have to admit, the options that some of the US companies provide in Europe are better than what we get in the states. And you'd think, with all the nationalities in the states, they'd have them there too. You'd be surprised though, US & UK Heinz Catsup are practically identical. German Heinz Catsup, doesn't even taste like Heinz ... it's got barely any spices to it! There is always World Market in the US to get some other country foods, but it's barely a dent in what is really available in European countries!



I know im gonna miss heinz salad cream cant get that anywhere in the states.

Ah, it's true - I can only think of Blake off the top of my head, too. Of course I'm probably missing someone really obvious and then I'll feel bad. blush.gif

Forms and legal stuff scares Alex so most of the visa process has been left up to me - including posting on/browsing these forums for research. tongue.gif

Amanda - thank you, you are very sweet! luv.gif


Hmm, I'm in the same boat with Stephen -- he hates filling out forms, and absolutely hates legal stuff!! So I've been left to fill out most all this paperwork. And when I told him about Packet 3, more forms, he said who does that, and I said, they'll be sending it to you ... so you'll be doing it. And his response, can't you do it for me and send them to me? Puhlease .... what do I look like, a secretary laughing.gif Although, I feel a little more at peace filling them out myself, because he is not the details person of the two of us smile.gif



Well, Jay did all the paperwork for the original packet and noone was more amazed than me that we didnt get a rfe, lol.

Sometimes on other forums he'll send me a PM to say 'I've just read your PM inbox and am informing you you have a new message!' laughing.gif Sometimes if I receive an e-mail from a friend he'll pester me about when I'm going to reply - 'I want to read what you're going to write!'

Maybe you should encourage him to join VJ... BTW, how's his legs?

He'll know more tomorrow when he has his second appointment; thank you for asking! When I told my mother about it over the weekend she said, 'hey, I have a lump just like that - only on my arm!' I felt her arm and indeed she does. She says it's been there years and hasn't bothered her so hopefully it's nothing serious in Alex's case either. Still, best to get it checked out, especially as leg veins are a lot more dangerous.

I'll start badgering him again. I don't know why he doesn't post; he has 30,000 posts on another forum so it's not as if he's not used to how they work. laughing.gif He does read all of these posts, though, so - Alex: Read this!

Congrats to all recent approvals, feels good that there is progress being made everyday, gives me a lot of hope, and also moves that estimated date closer in my timeline.

but at the same time, it makes it that much more gut-wrenching that mine hasn't moved yet, I need patience i suppose. I now have resorted to few times a day checking of the USCIS website.

It seems I'm trying to get into that small 1-2 minute window of checking the uscis website RIGHT before the email comes out, hehe.

Bears... missed you, welcome back!

Was busy with my kids moving up ceremony last Saturday and also had no internet connection since Friday. It was so frustrating but I guess it also helped me focus more on other things aside from checking USCIS site....

How are you? Was hoping to see you get approval already since december csc approvals have been trickling in.

i do hope we all get our approvals soon... really eally soon, especially now that us embassy manila have imposed additional requirements in setting up interview dates.... it's additional burden to the already cumbersome visa process and I just want to be over all of this soon.

Good morning April. I come bearing good news!

Russell called the Embassy yesterday and they told him they couldn't book k1's on the phone. Well, he emailed after he got off the phone and received an email back right away stating that they had received our petition from the NVC late afternoon the day before and had already sent out the appointment package to him and that his appointment was on the 17th...next Wednesday at 10am!!! That's 6pm Tuesday night for us in the U.S. wink.gif What a difference from being in the U.S. ...thank goodness for New Zealand!

NZ usually takes two days to process the visa but that's without any issues...sadly, we almost expect issues. laughing.gif He plans on flying home the following Wednesday...the 24th. Just hours away from the very day he was denied entry in Dublin last year! Ironic, no? wink.gif

So, in just two weeks, we will have everything we have fought so hard for and waited soooo, soooo many years for! We are riding on a cloud! Just thrilled!

Jon, i'd say the Embassy has just not yet processed your petition into their system. I'm sure it wont be much longer for you.

You're going to be just fine Gaura. London will be a breeze..try not to stress yourself out too much! They're probably not even going to ask you for more proof of relationship. wink.gif Keep us posted!

So, April, what's going on with all of you????

it's monday morning in NZ and i'm hoping that very soon they will be opening up Russell's packet 3 and arranging an interview date... even without the approved petition from the NVC. laughing.gif Wishful thinking? whistling.gif

Sorry to interupt but you can call the DOS to find out if the embassy have an interview scheduled. I found them most helpful.

Do they require bank statements in London and Kiev even if you meet the 125% ?


Hi Kim

London dont ask for anything like that or didnt from us, just the advidavit and my docs didnt even want to see his w2s. All I would suggest though is to take copies of your documents they will then keep those and give you the originals back.

Yes, Graham.. one for her... one for her co-sponsor. wink.gif

Hi Sally... Are you home yet?????



Hi Kim sweetheart

Yes, I arrived on the 26th July and we got married on the 28th at the courthouse. Then we went away for a few days and then his family hosted a reception for us on Tuesday.

I am very lucky, Jay has a good family and they are all keen to help me settle.

I have found it quite emotional leaving my home country but the emotion may be down to tiredness from the jet lag. Jay is very supportive and attentive and helps me through.

I have started looking at aos but the paperwork we need is in my shipping so that will have to wait till that arrives on the 14th.

I am so sorry that you are still waiting, it dissapoints me beyond belief and makes me realise how lucky us January filers were although we did not know it at the time.

Take care you are one special lady.

Good Sunday morning April.

I had a good long sleep in this morning after a long day in the hot 95 degree sun yesterday. We did a collection downtown for the 3-day in memory of a friend who died last year of breast cancer. She was just 39 and left her husband and 2 small boys. sad.gif Keeps things a bit more in perspective, no? wink.gif

I do hope this is our week pip! I'd love to see them clear out the end of March / early April filers tomorrow.....and then have an explosion of mid April approvals..including ours...on Tuesday! laughing.gif


I will be keeping everything crossed for you Kim yes.gif
