A little more of an update, who am I kidding a lot more of an update.
It is customary for Homeland Security to wait two week before sending your I-129F to the NVC then anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks for your case to be forwarded to the Embassy. Well it took 10 days to do something that should have taken 4 - 6 weeks. I am good with that because I waited so long for the first step.
My first rude awakening to this was when Peggy showed me she had a letter from Consulate in GZ. I went to work getting the DS-230 put together so that she could send it back to the consulate. That completed and in the mail Peggy wondered what all of this stuff was written in English, in fact we talked about it extensively. Well, I was wrong, someone was about to poo poo in my corn flakes.
Peggy went out to lunch with her childhood friend that was a school teacher and could read English; very well I might add. The basic issue here was in understanding each other. We both thought we were on the same page but we were not. It was either that or panic set in. Anyhow the two of them got it set in their minds that I didn't like either one of Peggy's children or grandchild and was not going to bring any of them over. Needless to say Peggy was upset. The bottom line was that I put in the application that no one was coming with her or follow her. After a couple of nights trying to sort all of this out I came to the conclusion that she panicked because she learned that her son would not be able to come soon after his 21st birthday which was less than 3 months away at the time. In America the waiting list right now is 8 years. So then I knew why she was upset and justifiably so.
I'll finish this story later. A little trick I learned from Rhonald.
