We are MARRIED! We had so much fun and after the stress of the whole k1 process, a nice, tiny, courthouse wedding was perfect. Our pals Aaron and Pearl were out witnesses, and took some photos for us. This one is my favourite, despite it being the most blurry of the bunch. It perfectly captures how the moment felt- a rush of pure bliss! :D <3

They are definitely working on it!!  :D :D

speaking of going through customs...  I decided to take a trip with my daughter the week before Johan and his son arrive in LA.  (I agree; I can't afford it right now!)  Our planes land 4 minutes apart at the same terminal at LAX.  How cool is that?!  So I will get to go through customs with my love, even though we are arriving on different planes.  :D

invitations arrived today.  :joy:   The South African ones will be posted tomorrow!  I got a text from my future sister in law telling me that she was told they need the invitation to take to the embassy for their tourist visa interviews.  According to people on here, that ain't so, but I'm not chancing it.  "###### just got real, part 2."  :rofl:

 

Abby: we know way better than your family.  I am tempted to send you my cell number so you can tell me immediately!  lol   Happy Tuesday, everyone.  One day closer.  :D

I'm hoping to get my certificate, but the job market here is terrible.

 

I  know that's true!  I worked in Swartz Creek for 4 years.  I knew many many teachers who weren't full time, but were subbing.  I would like to think it's improved in 5 years, but I doubt it.

Johan sold his car today. About two and a half weeks early, but he is off to England next week, for a week, so it shouldn't hinder him too badly. When he told me that he had sold it, I thought, "###### just got real!" Haha. The closer we get, the more anxious I become. I can't wait for him to be here!!

I'm still here, btw! :D :D We are getting married this Friday! I can't believe it's finally here. I am so ready to get my EAD, though!!!


Congrats in advance! I think Rachel and jake are getting married Friday too. ??. Are you planning to get your credential for Michigan?

 
I am still impatiently waiting for our Issued status. I no longer even check because apparently Andre checks every 3 minutes so he can just keep me updated LOL. I hate checking it only to see Administrative Processing one more time. BLAH


I'd be doing the same thing! Clearly, you must tell US even before your family when it is issued. ??

Received a letter from the NVC stating that they have forwarded our case to the embassy in New Delhi India (Bhutan uses New Delhi Embassy).   Created a profile on ustraveldocs.com  website and submitted the DS-160.  Now we are waiting for a letter/email from the New Delhi embassy.  In the meantime I was trying to figure out how to pay for the Visa application fee for my fiance to the New Delhi embassy.  From reading the payment options it appears payment methods are only possible from within India or Druk bank in Bhutan.  I guess its just another hurdle to keep me distracted :-).
 
Hope everyone had a good 4th.  Just think.....we will all be with our partners next Independence day.
 
 




Congrats! It's moving along now! ??

Hi James.  Our 4th was okay.  I was wishing Johan could be here for this wonderful American holiday.  :)  I'm sorry about your expedite.  Have you considered having your fiance come down for a few months again?

 Helping TSC would be a fun summer gig by the way

 

I agree! I don't know how fast I'd be, due to really reading the profiles and looking at pictures, but if I could, I would do that as a summer gig for sure.  :)

Ashley, I've been keeping up with the February TSC filers in the hopes that I will start to see some NOA2's.  I know this is of little consequence, but for what it's worth, I think about you often and send out hope and prayers and positive vibes as much as I can.  Pretty much everyone in this group has expressed sadness and guilt for having gone through this process so fast while you on the Eastern side of the US are essentially hosed by an inefficient TSC.  It's complete bullshit that there is this much of a difference.  It may seem like lip-service, but once the NOA2 arrives, it'll fly by.  I'm hopeful you'll be here well before Thanksgiving.  

 

PS: there was someone who posted a hilarious picture from Hunger Games that read, "I volunteer to help TSC!"   I feel that way.  I WISH I could go help.  I'm off work all summer, and would GLADLY go to bat for you guys.  Hang in there!

 

Tina

I love Chicago! ??

Johan and Shaun will arrive with travelers insurance. I don't know the specifics, but I can ask. He arrives July 25th, and we have an appt in Santa Barbara on July 28th to get married. One compelling reason for this is so I can add them onto my insurance. Right now the plan is to not tell anyone (our secret is safe with you guys, right? ?? ) since we have so many people from different countries. We don't want them to feel like their plans are for naught. I've had to explain that this isn't like marrying an American. so many things are based on us being married. We will consider our October 11th wedding our true wedding day.
I'm having to explain *to my sister* that it's different to marry a non-American.

Hi!  Welcome.  :)  Yes, we've all gotten our NOA1's back in February.  Some of us are through the process, but a bunch of us still are not.  Once you have your interview date, post here, and Abby will add you to the interview list.  :)  congrats!
