*Sigh*

Its been nearly 4 weeks since we sent off Rich's DS 2001 and Checklist to the Embassy and we still haven't heard anything. So, on Friday I had Rich ring the Visa Enquiry Line to find out where they were with our case. The operator proceeds to tell him that they're waiting on our checklist. Rich told her we sent it in nearly 4 weeks ago by Recorded Delivery. She said they haven't received it, although Royal Mail have confirmed it was delivered. She suggested that we re-submit the information via email and post. So we scanned in the information and emailed it to them on Friday and we also posted it out again by Recorded Deliver (again). Hopefully they'll get it and we'll hear back soon.

Found a new forum called Visa Journey for those going through the Marriage Based Visa process. Another person on their who sent his information to the London Consulate on the same day as us and was told they hadn't received his information got his interview appointment yesterday, so I still hold out hope we'll hear from them soon. I'm a little depressed about the whole thing though.

Btw, I've done a bit of an update to our website. I've added some Immigration information (its still ongoing though, so please bear with me while I work on it). If you get a chance, stop by and sign our guestbook!

Great news! Rich and I sent our checklist form off to the Immigrant Visa Section of the US Embassy today saying that we have all the necessary documents. Now its just to wait until we hear back from them with the date for Rich's medical and interview date(s). So fingers crossed!

Not much else happening. I had another bad stomach attack Friday night. I've been in a bit of pain since then (I think I got bruised inside or pulled a muscle because it hurts when I breathe deep or cough/sneeze/move!). Been doing a bit of Christmas shopping. Not a lot else.

Oh, I fib (accidentally)! Rich had his last day of work on Friday last week. He's now (for the moment) a stay-at-home husband, hehe! He's going to take a bit of time off for relaxing, then he'll do a bit of repair work on the house that needs to be done before we leave it and a bit of packing, then (if we're still here) he'll look to do some temping in sales work. Its really weird having him not working.

Found a new great graphics site: Angela's Doodle Pad. She's got some really cute stuff!! I'm buying some graphics from her to update my personal website.

Rich and I are still working on The Stone puzzles. We've solved 145 of the 208 currently available. I'm really enjoying learning about the different things covered in it.

Off to visit some other blogs now! Buh-bye!
