More Government Mail!

More Government Mail!

It’s my favorite kind of mail these days! After we received the letter saying the Embassy had our application, we filled out the necessary forms, went to London for a doctor visit, and have been anxiously waiting for the all-important interview date.

Coincidentally, Mr. D’s interview in London is 2 days after I leave the country. Since I’m flying out of London on June 1st, Mr. D will stay behind instead of heading home up north. Here’s hoping we can change his flight on the cheap!

If the interview is successful, he’ll receive his passport back with the visa inside a few days after his interview. The only slightly sour note on this otherwise sweet date? We have to pay $131 for the visa application. This wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t already irritated with the government for dumping over $2,000 on top of our wedding budget. I guess the $131 is just a drop in the proverbial $2,000 immigration bucket.

Enough boo-hooing; it’s time to celebrate (and make copies of lots of forms)!!!

Congrats - we just got good news from the government too! My fiance’s two-year rule waiver has been approved. That means he DOESN’T have to return to Italy for two years and we can apply for his green card next month. Phew! I don’t want to jinx things, but our process so far has been smooth and is moving more quickly than we thought. Hopefully it will continue that way! For you too!

Yay, congrats! Did you have to pay the $131 in dollars or pounds?

Miss D’orsay, could you please point me to a resource that lays out the immigration process? My FH and I were planning on him immigrating to Canada, but we’ve hit a snag and are now considering me going to the states. The process seems a lot more complicated than the canadian process, and I can’t find a site that lays it out in plain language. Could you help?
