Well my wife has got the medical part finished. Talking to the lawyer she has all the correct documents. She has an interview date of April 6. I have been told since she is on an expedite. it is a little different.
She has actually been instructed by the consolate to arrive early the morning of April 6, turn in all of her documents (Including her passport) And then come back the next day for a face to face interview. At which time unless there is a problem. She would be approved and her passport given back to her. And the visa would be in it already. No waiting 3 or 4 more days.
If all were to go as the lawyer explained it. She could go from the consolate to the airport and come home the same day.
Anyway we will know the outcome next wed nite. So keep your fingers crossed This has been a long road more than a year. and i pray my love will be home soon. When I left her to come home last November, I had no Idea it would be this much longer. Even my kids are nervous all of us need her home.
-
This has been a rough road Jimmy. I really hope everything works out perfectly. I can't wait to read your next happy post.

She is getting the CR1 on expedite. Since it is on expedite she will actually get her passport back with the visa same day as face to face interview. She is in GZ now and has turned in all of the paperwork, and she said they also asked for her passport. I have not had a chance to get all the detail from her yet. But they will look everything over tonight and she has her face to face interview in the morning. My credit card is laying on my desk here waiting to hear something. There is a $1000 positive credit on it. Money I put there to bring her home almost 2 years ago. Man I sure hope I get to spend it tomorrow.
Anyway guys and girls thanks for all your thought and support. I am a nervous wreck but tomorrow I will either cry my eyes out or celebrate like a maniac. I will let you all know how it turns out.
-
Good Luck Jimmy... Many here are thinking of you!

Well the interview is finished. several hours ago. She finally called to tell me she passed.

Superb news Jimmy, a new wonderful chapter on your life is about to begin, every trial and tribulation leading up to her arrival will seem like nothing compared to the joy she brings to your life whens shes by your side.
-
That must have been a long dreadfull hour for you Jimmy, as I had read your post before you amended it. I am happy for you that once you contacted her, that she had good news waiting for you.
-
Great news Jimmy. I am real happy for the two of you... well the whole family.
-
Congrats to you and your wife! :D :)
-
The Toronto chapter of this forum will be getting together on Sunday. We will be sure to celebrate your good news.
Arnold, we need your credit card again.
-
How come you don't bring any of us guys along? How about doing a web-cam experience?
-
Arnold, we need your credit card again.
3745 0598 4416 5580 exp. date 04-15 have a Super Lunchoen on my Card .. but remember there is a $ 5,000 limit .
-
Actually, you know the scary thing? We could do it. It'd look silly as all heck, but we have the technology... :P So what's the time difference Shaun? ;D
-
I am on the same time as you. Eastern time zone. I was joking but it would actually be fun to do it just to participate a little if you guys are game for it. The only bad thing would be not being able to eat the famous dumplings at your dumpling spot but I could pop a few of my frozen dumplings I buy at the store. They're not great but not bad for imitation dumplings.
What time do you have the event set for? I work for 10am to 6 pm. Since I am the owner I can make a few adjustments. Also I use yahoo messenger. It seems to fit best with my computer.
-
Well lets keep the web cam idea. I really like to do it if everyone is game but I work Sunday during those hours and can't work my way around it.
-
Take your computer to work. That's the only suggestion I can come up with. If you need to buy a new laptop, I am sure Arnold doesn't mind covering this on his credit card as well.
-
You guys don't put to much on Arnolds credit card. My wifes visa just came in the mail. I need airfare.
-
First thing I did was to copy the number down when I saw it. Trying to get Comcast to stretch 4 miles of line by noon tomorrow. They said that I... I mean Arnold will have to pay for it... Weekend rates... X3 since the Masters Golf Tournament is going on down the street. Who would have thunk that an Irishman is leading it two days in a row. He's 10 under par. Closest person is 8 under, Tiger is tied at 3rd with 7 under. He could be back.
Sorry Jimmy dumplings come first.

Sorry Jimmy dumplings come first.
I think Shaun just got himself an invitation with that comment!

Thanks Maxx and Martin she really enjoyed the First class trip home. The only Limo I could find was a full stretch Hummer. It made for a nice ride home. We hadn't been together since November, so it was nice to get to know each other again, and again, and again.
Seriously she did get in Friday morning and everything is great. Her and my girls hit it off better than I could have ever expected. The atmosphere at our house is like she has always been here. Like we had never even been apart. I am as happy as I can be.
It took 1 year 11 months and 2 weeks from start to finish and the 8 or 9 months she and I lived together in China made her Visa interview go a lot smoother.
This journey is definitely not for the faint of heart. When she got off the plane and thru customs and all that crap. And suddenly she was kissing me and we were going home. It was like a million tons was lifted off of me. At my doctor appointment today even the doc told me my heart is doing great like I had taken some kind of miracle drug. And all it is, the stress is gone.
Dumplings do come first and she wasted no time making sure I had all I could eat. SHe must have made 300 or more, the freezer is full. I bought 10 pounds of meat and she turned it all into dumplings. Man what a life.
Thanks guys you have been a great bunch of friends and helped me to make my life better in more ways than you will ever know. Even back in the Facebook days before I knew my wife and was actually still getting over the ex.
I’m not going anywhere but I may not visit the forum as much as I was. But I’m always glad to help someone out if I can.
