Day…errr…I’ve stopped counting
Not too much interesting to report, really. Except that the guesstimated date, as reported by the visajourney.com website, has moved up considerably. October 16 – November 4 is now September 12 – September 28. That’s a whole month. Granted, the disclaimer clearly states that it guesses these dates based on the averages of other timelines registered…

Ze wedding venue
Step 1 of operation “Floridian Wedding” is successful. We’ve found a nice little place that doesn’t seem very expensive and doesn’t seem to mind about the whole uncertainty in our lack of a solid wedding date. It’s called “Paradise Cove” and is located near “Lake Brian”, which is in the Lake Buena Vista area and…

Day 10 – And now we play the waiting game
Between 7 and 10 days seems an awfully short time when it’s really 4. They did take their sweet time sending the I-797 we were expecting. Apparently they received it on the 6th, the notice date is the 10th and the official notice arrived today. Ah well, I’m not complaining. At least things are moving :).…

Day 6 – The eagle has landed. And quickly moved on.

In about 7-10 days we’ll receive a form “I-797”, which is basically a Notice of Action form. This will have our NOA1 date on it, with which we can take an educated…

I have it on good authority that the eagle has, indeed, left the nest. Now to wait for the first NOA. This usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Scaryyyy!

It’s been over a year since I had seen my love and fiancée Anais and so the two weeks she spent here were most welcome. Both because she was here and because I was due for a proper vacation. I take about two weeks every year for the purpose of being with her. I wish…

Mini-vacation to Barcelona
A little late, but better late than never. A few weeks ago, Anais and I went to Barcelona for a few days. Though, technically it was just one full day. We arrived late on Tuesday (April the 5th) and left for the airport around noon on Thursday April the 7th. Our hotel (Hotel Urquinaona) was…

Immigration! (Or should that be emigration?)
So, it begins. We’re about to set the first step of a long and bureaucratic journey that is the K-1 Visa. That is to say, we’ve filled out the I-129F form as well as an G-325A form each. Before sending in these forms we’re going to ensure that everything is filled out correctly and that…

So there it is…
A new attempt at blogging. This time with a spiffy domain name and everything. Lets see if I actually have time to sit down and write things, because as it stands, it is now 11.30PM and I should’ve been in bed about an hour ago to rest up and catch up on some sleep. Oh…
