Thank you everyone!! Sorry for the late replies and leaving like that! I try and log in to catch up a little before work but then I go "oh ####### look at the time" type thing and am fleeing out the door :P

Soon he'll be here!! My sister is visiting today with her little boy so that'll calm me down a little before Lampros gets here hehe. She leaves the same day he comes, they might be able to say hi in the airport though!

Good day all!

Igor what plans do you have for your honey?

Lee, when they finally get to come, you'll be in such shock and happiness that you'll melt into a small love coma :)

Liz, glad things are finally getting going with the change of status and silly doctors!!

Richard wedding dress shopping ailments are one of a kind and (thankfully) another of the one time wonders of marriage.. hehe.

What we're doing is flying him with Aegean Air (greek airline) to Heathrow England airport and from there it'll be much cheaper using Kayak or the other sites as such :)

I CAN"T FREAKING WAAAAAAAAAIT. He's coming the 23rd! I'm 99% certain the interview will be a breeze :D :D :D :D

Does anyone have any good ideas for plane tickets from either Heathrow, London Airport or right from Athens..? We're looking at about 700 for the ticket.

I thought I heard someone say 300 for theirs, and I'm confuddled and jealous of such a price :)

Hi Liz!

Lampros did his medical this morning, all good. He's scheduled for an interview on the 16th of Feb!!! Woooototootott!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 09 - VSC, K-1 filings
Hii all!

Lampros FINALLY got the UK papers back stating "no evidence" .. Looovely! So basically we spent 125 dollars to prove that he has no record in the UK because he hasn't ever done anything illegal or criminal. Oh well, so that's taken care of. The army people told him they sent his papers last tuesday so we've just been waiting patiently. He called again today and no one has sent anything so he'll have to physically go in the army office near Athens to get it.

After we get the final paper, the army paper, we'll call for a doctor appointment and then the interview a.s.a.p!

Who else is still waiting? What happened to Lee?? Igor where are you with everything?

Gooood morning!

we should be finished gathering all his paperwork necessary for the interview by next week, woot woot! Then just call and schedule the interview and do the medical!! It's possible he could actually be here in only 3 weeks! (high hopes but that's ok :) )

Hi Jamie. How is it going in the land of rain and coffee?

That about sums up Seattle lol! It's going nicely! I finally have internet in my new apartment and am off today to just relax and talk with my honey. Oh and get the cashiers check ordered for his UK paperwork. 75 Gold British Pounds for expedite and 1 copy.. argh! It will save us about a week or more though to get him here.. (race in mind of course!)

How are you doing in the land of Alligator and Senior citizens?

Lampros ordered his military papers.. weee!!! It'll take about 10 days to get to him and then the UK papers and such will be getting on their way soon as well! I'm thinking about a month for the process including the interview. I just hope it all goes as smoothly as possible :D

I know it will Jamie. Igor, you and me are the last of the Feb family to do so. Just remember that you always save the best for last. :whistle:

I am only doing one wedding and I have to accommodate around 40 people. I don't like wearing a suit/tux and do so only as needed. I live in sunny florida so more than likely it will be outside. I will put aside all of my sensibilities and will be over the top sickeningly sugary sweet on that day. With that said I need to go work on my vows that I will be speaking in Russian for her. If that's not sweet enough than I don't know what I am doing at this point.

Aww that is sweet!! I'm sure she'll love that you're doing the whole wedding deal for her! I'm not to keen on a giant wedding just because I don't like the idea of the most emotional moment of my life (marrying) to be put on stage! Oh but I sure can't wait to marry Lampros! :D :luv: :D

Best for last.. I think that sounds quite right!

I love your sarcasm, it's lovely!

Wow the sand thing sounds like a nice symbolism but I don't like the big hoity toity aspect of it and that would mean I'd have to invite more than just a few family members to the wedding hehe.

I think a low key wedding is the best idea, we'll do a court wedding first because we have no idea when he'll come, then something a LITTLE bigger later, nothing extravagant. There's a girl at work getting married and is spending thousands of dollars on her wedding, I just can't get that. Oh well, people are as they are.

I don't know what sand does either? Are cats involved in weddings these days??

We're thinking about 2 weeks til he'll have all the paperwork gathered to even go to the interview and that begins the 10th after he gets let out of the army. The army paper that says he's done the blasted thing will take about 2 weeks to be sent to him, and its also important as the reason for the extension of the NOA2 and not having set an interview yet.

HI all! I moved into my new place on Sunday and Lampros is finishing up some paperwork as the days go until he flies back to the North of Greece to get the FINAL ARMY PAPERRRRSSS!!! WOOT! The papers will take a little bit to get to him and then everything will fall in place and we'll get him scheduled for an interview! I missed talking to him so much, it's wonderful just to talk on cam without a worry!! I can't wait til he gets here, it will be heavenly..!

Random hello as always! This time the excuse is .. no internet at the new place until 8am-12pm Sunday the 10th of January. :o

I'd wish for 61, it's been steadily 32 or so around here, frost in the morning even which is really pretty! I think it's supposed to be warmer here soon, (41 and rain).

Lee it will be amazing when you get to have her in your arms again.. I'm so lost in thought these days of how wonderful it will be when he gets here. I find myself just wandering off in lala land, even at work!

No new years plans for me... My Mom and her BF will be going to Vegas! I'm jealous but also glad I'm not going without Lampros. I think maybe I'll just stay home and relax or see what party's come up.

Thank you everyone! Guess what... HE CAME HOME TODAAAY! I went snow boarding today and am ridiculously sore and bruised, had a lot of fun though! I'm moving into a little apartment here in town on Friday/This weekend too!! Lampros is stoked that we'll have our own place, of course! He has to do the medical and we still have to get his UK record and Finish criminal background record before the interview. He gets his army papers the 10th of January still but he's home until then! He just has to fly back to the North, get the paperwork, get medical, interview, etc etc! This darn UK paperwork though has split our hairs figuring how to get a proof of his address in Athens while he's been stationed three places in the past year and also lived in the UK for school the past 6... oooooh I love him so badly.. it's all very worth it!!!!!

LEE Congrats man!!! You'll have them here soon and it will be a dream!!! How long total has it been since you've seen her??

Lampros is going to be home Friday, FOR GOOD!!! He'll get out the 10th still but he won't have to do any more services after Friday, it will just be back to camp to get his paperwork, then starting for the visaaa!!!

Thanks Derek!

Also, thank you Liz!! I'm so excited that it worked out to get this car, it's been really good so far! I'm actually looking at apartments right now.. can't wait to get our little place started and set up for when he gets here! 18 days and they're going so fast with the holidays in action right now!

Jamie, I thought you were allergic to wheat?

My last doctor also thought I was allergic to wheat.. and I maintained a wheat/gluten free diet for 7 months but now I'm not apparently in any way allergic to wheat. I stopped drinking soda and my stomach feels better off of that than it ever did off of wheat.. it's extremely frustrating that diagnoses are thrown around so I won't be seeing a doctor as willingly for a long time. I'll just eat healthier and see how that goes for me, so far so good. whistling.gif
