America – Land of the free, home of the food commercials
A week has passed and I’m still alive and well in America and so far things are going pretty good. So far it hasn’t really gotten through to me that this is more than simply a vacation and that I’m here for life. I’m sure that’ll change once I’m going to be able to apply…

The more or less inevitable “Things I’m looking forward to” post
We’re now about three weeks away from my departure and I’ve promised that I’d post about the things I’m actually looking forward to(Crazy, I know!). I’ve not added the blatant “Getting married, starting a life etc.”, because, you know, that’s a given. So without further ado and in no particular order. The list! Free refills!Almost…

Doctor!
As a mandatory part of the visa application process, one must make an appointment with the panel physician to make sure everything is OK in the physical department. I somewhat expected this to be no more than a simple check on vaccinations and get the ones that I’m lacking. I couldn’t be more wrong. My…

Dazed and Confused
So a few weeks have passed since our petition was approved. In the mean time I have received instructions on how to apply for the visa and have followed them thus far. First step involved filling out a biographic form(Again) and two other forms. The instructions let me know that I am to complete and…

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…
