1 Year Later....

 

I was just thinking about how different things were 1 year ago.  5/11 was that horrible day that we learned Jordan could not enter the US and we had to cancel our plans for spending the summer together.  5/17 was the day I sent the K-1 package.  I did it in 6 days...6 days of crying, stress, research, more crying, more research, discovering Visa Journey...lots more research, lots more crying after reading timelines, Igor's, etc.   Then the sense of accomplishment turning to a sense of dread after reading all the things I might have screwed up.   Ugh.   Now I can sit back and smile that it's all behind us now.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their lives TOGETHER with the one we waited for.  Jordan is taking his driver's test today.  He said his last step to becoming official.   lol  Hope he passes, he's only been driving for more than 35 years.

 

Things are going great for us, hope the same for everyone who supported me here!

Good to hear from you AnnaLouise!
I hear ya on the paperwork, I don't want to see another USCIS form for....well, I guess it's 21 months now. :whistle:

Update:

We had our AOS interview in Santa Ana on the 2nd and we were APPROVED!!

Jordan's EAD/AP card was approved on the 28th and is supposed to arrive tomorrow, not that it really matters at this point. We'll have the GC a week later. LOL

The process went really quickly for us.

I was ready to burn the huge folder I've created that has every document we've ever needed for this whole process but Jordan would let me. He said too much work went into it so I told him to put it where I didn't have to look at it. LOL

BrockUK, man, that's so horrible to hear - that's worse than my ex-girlfriend who screwed me over. I hope your life gets better, man - put her out of your mind, seal her away, and find someone who deserves your effort and affection.


Congratulations! You guys finally made it! I hope your AOS process is a much smoother one.


Excellent advice for BrockUK, so sorry this happened. You do deserve so much better.

Hey guys

Just thought I'd let you know that I FINALLY had my interview today and was approved! I think I'll be moving on the 5th April - my fiance is going to come over to the UK for a short visit and then we'll go back together :D Thank you for all your support these past months, I've really needed it. Can't believe that after 309 looong days, this is almost all over!

And this is the Portuguese half of the pair. Spent the day in a flurry of activity to get this arranged so that the day and a half before we fly to France goes smoothly. I have everything prepared for the interview, and I'm rather frantically trying not to be nervous. We arrive in Paris just before midnight, have the interview at 1 pm the next day, spend the rest of the day there, and fly back in the afternoon of the 1st. Then the last steps of the wait begin, but these are the very final hours we are spending apart from each other. This is it--it's almost done!


Sounds like you are ready, good luck!!

Enjoy your time together!

I kept running into snags, my husbands tax transcript says he earned around $3000 for 2011, due to being deployed in Iraq, therefore his taxable income was low (tax free earnings while on deployment) so have had to go the extra step for that.
We are supposed to be moving to Korea, though making some attempts to change that assignment, thats delayed us aswell, we should have heard last week (and the week before, and the one before that!) if its confirmed or deleted, so I'm sending this puppy off tomorrow, with a letter from his CO advising we are moving to Korea in approx 2 months. I've had the packet ready for almost 2 weeks now.

nothing else really.


Wow, lots of uncertainty. Hang in there! Hopefully you hear something soon on his next assignment. Congrats on getting the AOS package together!

And to think I'm whining about moving 18 miles LOL We're supposed to close escrow today on our new place! :dance: However it just occured to me that I have to file a change of address with the USCIS now. Ugh. After hearing some of the horror stories here about how they mess it up, I'm really concerned about our stuff getting lost.

Finally! Our NOA 2 was approved just yesterday. There were no problems with our application yet we had to wait an unbearable 283 days for NOA2. I was on the verge of leaving this country too. It had been promise after promise that our application would be completed and they'd keep making us wait 30 days and then 60 days and so forth. Finally, there is some closure and progress. The worst part was they'd never give a reason or answer any of our questions as to why it was so delayed. I'm very happy that our application was finally approved, but the whole process has left me quite bitter. Let's hope that the application from here on out will go much smoother.

Thank you everyone for all of your kind words of support this whole time.


WOOHOO!!! :dance: Congratulations!! Finally... I would be quite bitter too. So sorry you've had to go through this agonizing wait. I really, really hope the rest of the process goes very quick and smooth for you guys. Hang in there!

Pathotoko... any news? BrockUK? where are you???

Life is a little lonely during the week, hence the venting here. I am looking forward to just getting through AOS and finding out where we are going to be living. deep breath, life is easier with him - without a doubt.


I've been wondering about BrockUK too, it's been a while since we've heard from him. I hope everything is okay.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like you've had in-law overload and I'm sorry about your grandfather. I hope things settle down and get sorted out soon.

Here is the danger of leaving your spouse home alone all day...we just put an offer on a house and are in escrow! A new house was something we were talking about months down the road, but he started searching....full time and found a perfect place in weeks instead of months. We just got our AOS sent and went right into the loan process. Ugh. :bonk:

Oh well, all good stress!

yes, but I think its the other way around, the vaccination is the I-693.. anyway, I had it, but Honolulu POE requested my x-rays, apparently they do this and the immigration officer was annoyed that I was not aware that I needed to hand it over, so the problem was, I had put my copy of the vaccination record in the x-ray envelope and totally forgot, so now its lost in the vortex of immigration land and it could be forever to get it back if I tried that path, rather than risking just telling them 'you already have it, check the x-ray envelope' I requested another copy from the doctor in Sydney. the bit i'm confused about, is the civil surgeon thing...

so I now have everything except the vaccination record, the i-864, when hubby works 14 hour days, its hard to nag him about these things. He will get on to it though, and my photos. got everything else, copied, and ready... oh, haven't signed as I'm still figuring out what my new signature is going to be. haha. :P

v.cute photo Patty. :wub:

I'm not being very good at getting the AOS package sorted out, it seems so painful, especially the medical part of it, which is confusing the heck out of me. I'm procrastinating.


Did you get a DS 3025 (Vaccination Record) when you had your medical? You do not need to have another medical since you just had it for the K1. You are not required to submit the I-693 but it's a good idea to submit the DS 3025.

First of all, congrats Patti!! What a relief to finally be married! :D So happy for you!

Sorry that I haven't been around at all lately but I went to visit my fiance for Christmas and New Years and couldn't log in for some weird reason. I'm back now, and finding it absolutely miserable without him. Somehow it's a lot harder to cope this time than it was in June when we knew we'd be apart for even longer :( Anyway, I'm now getting the last bits together before sending package 3 back to the London embassy, also need to book my medical this week. Hearing some depressing things about how long the London embassy takes to issue an interview date though so not feeling good at the moment. I really hope this won't drag on past March you guys :( I'm in need of a pep talk...


Thanks!!

I wont lie to you, the closer you get, the harder it gets. I was going crazy the last few days before he arrived. But once you are finially together all of the stress, loneliness dissapears. Now it seems like it really wasn't that long. All the work, stress, time apart was all worth it.

Just keep busy and things will go faster than you expect.

Thanks! It was a wonderful day. I could not have been happier with the way everything turned out. The wedding was outside in a park so we were very concerned about the weather but we woke up to a beautiful clear sunny day. Whew! About 60 people attended. Everyone was so happy for us, knowing what we went through to get to this moment. It was so hard not to cry as I walked down the isle, seeing all our family and friends and seeing the big smile on his face.

I'm looking forward to relaxing and enjoying time together. Not looking forward to starting on the AOS package. lol

Our plan is to get a courthouse wedding ASAP, but then to hold a ceremony later on when we've had plenty of time to plan it.


Yep, what I SHOULD have done... LOL Too late now! I guess for some reason I wanted to keep my stress level up. :bonk:

Today's drama is that I have no shoes. I left them in the store at my final fitting and they can't find them. Ugh. I guess it's a good thing I noticed today and not Sat.

Thanks! I'm sure it will be. As long as the deed is done and we get that certificate all will be good. It's just that his mom is so excited that he's finally getting married, I want everything to be what she expects. I really wanted to go to the courthouse and have a BBQ after. No such luck!

3 days before my big day! I've waited so long for this and now I'm a stress case trying to get everything done before Saturday. It's a fun stress tho, not like going thru this crazy process. This is his first time so he is in shock over how much it takes to put a wedding and reception together. He's hanging in there. His family arrives from Canada tonight, 8 of them. :D

That seems to be the case! Finally got processed yesterday, just before the 6 week mark, so just waiting on an interview date now. Was told It could take up to 3 weeks to schedule an interview date(?!) surely it's just a case of clicking a button on the calendar when they've processed the paperwork? this has to be the least efficient system ever!



Yay!! That sounds crazy to take 3 weeks to pick a date. Hopefully it wont take that long.
