Welcome to America
Although i'm not officially there yet, today my visa arrived! Woohoo!!!
And not a minute too soon!
Brittany and I are very pleased and relieved that it has finally arrived and this process is over!
It feels real now, that we are moving in 2 weeks, and that we only have 8 days (7 in Brittany's case) of work left.
Things are starting to mount up. I am out to dinner with friends or family twice this week, brittany is out 3 times. Next week is even more busy! But we have made good in-roads into our packing, and feel we have packed as much stuff as is possible at the moment.
I think we are both sad and happy at the moment, or at least will be before we leave. Sad to leave my family and all our friends over here, but happy to move to where we planned to begin our life together, and be with the other side of our family. I guess now i will finally understand how brittany felt for the first year and half after moving here.
Mainly today though is reserved for happiness and thankfulness. oh, and wondering what is in the "mysterious brown envelope"!!

yay!!!!
brown envelope?
Yep. Every visa applicant receives two things along with their passport and visa. The first is the chest xray which was taken at the medical, the second is a large brown envelope. Its sealed and taped up, and you are told not to tamper with it in any way.
No-one knows what is in that envelope, or why you have to carry it and hand it over at the POE (Port of Entry), and as far as i know no-one ever has found out.
However, its probably a good guess that its just your case history and application files, along with the visa application or something.
