Yes was able to talk to Lampros for a while yesterday! Thanks for asking! He's doing really well with this new camp and seems to be adjusting nicely. He's got an office job occasionally now so it's more his niche. He might go home to Athens for voting the beginning of October so that will be a nice target to talk again loads on skype. I'm leaving for Washington the 25th of September so that'll take up lots of time to plan and get things ready and settled. It's cute to hear you guys all talk about little girl stuff.. I was always a bit of a tomboy but stuffed animals are always a key item in a little girls room . Oh that's great!! I know I hate going very long without talking to Pat so I can only imagine how it is for you two! Where in Washington are you moving to? hehe...that was my daughter for about a year ...she's wear camoflage shorts/shirt and pink ballet slippers with it, dancing all over the house...lol! That was her favorite outfit for a while Aw that sounds like fun outfit hehe. I'm moving to Bellingham, Washington which is very north and about 30 mins from Canada actually. We'll have to be careful that Lampros doesn't venture over the line while we are working on his AP lol. I'm not looking forward to paying this 1010 dollars for the AOS but can't wait to pay it as well.. it will mean he's here and we're married!!	gatoula_tou	Female	Greece	2009-09-03 09:52:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 09 - VSC	Liz - She is adorable, what a little cutie! The finances are one thing and being apart from my SO is another. I don't even worry about the money when I know it's for him to get here well and safe. I work at a grocery store right now with part time hours and not amazing pay so I'm hoping for a better job in Washington and maybe to help my Mom with her business. Ah.. at least Lampros is already done and over with college so he can work and I'll be able to finish without so much worry. Also the big aspect of having him here with me will lessen the stress 10 fold. I think I'll actually make money on this move too as I get rid of all my extra junk.	gatoula_tou	Female	Greece	2009-09-01 12:06:00

Was switching computers and was out for a bit, I hope all are doing good! Richard... I am lifting one... wait, 3... no seriously, I hope you get your NOA2 soon. This is getting a bit annoying! The bureaucracy is driving me nuts as well... I'd like to ask for a bit of help. I hope my packet made it to Moscow by now, what would be our next steps? Are we waiting from the Embassy to send something to my SO and myself? What is the process like from here to the interview? She already got her police report done long time ago... Thank you! Hey IgorK. The next thing would be the embassy receiving the packet the "processing" it there. That only took our embassy about a week. Then they send a packet of things that need to be done and sent in to your fiance. She might need some things from you such as the affidavit and maybe if you have proof of relationship and things like that. Your SO will have to turn in some papers now then some will be taken to the interview. It depends on the embassy but I think once they get the first bit of papers from your SO that they'll call/mail/notify your SO somehow of the interview date and the packet will tell most things of this nature. Liz.... your new picture of you is so pretty! Richard.. I read the letter and it does sound VERY justifiable and well thought out. I think that whoever reads it will run to the higher boss with tail between legs. Everyone else, hi and goodnight for now..! Take care all!	gatoula_tou	Female	Greece	2009-08-24 23:50:00

Lampros has to get criminal background records from the UK and Finland for the DS230 pt 1.

I did find out that "banking draft" is British for "Cashiers Check" and the fee is 35 GB pounds so I'll just send $60 to cover it surely. I doubt they want a check for 57.717 USD.	gatoula_tou	Female	Greece	2009-08-24 08:59:00
