  1. Please tell me what is this? I took the picture of this sea thing at a beach in 2007.

    These are called Horseshoe crabs.

     

    Horseshoe crabs are marine arthropods of the family Limulidae and order Xiphosura or Xiphosurida, that live primarily in and around shallow ocean waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They occasionally come onto shore to mate. They are commonly used as bait and in fertilizer. In recent years, a decline in the population has occurred as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction in Japan and overharvesting along the east coast of North America. Tetrodotoxin may be present in the roe of species inhabiting the waters of Thailand.[2] Because of their origin 450 million years ago (Mya), horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils.[3]

  2. My father-in-law was just approved for a visa. I wrote a letter of invitation and an affidavit of support but they asked for neither.

     

    They asked him why he wanted to come and he said for my wife's MBA graduation and when our baby is due in December (Did I mention my wife is due in December :) )

     

    They asked him if he had any evidence and showed a copy of her green card and her student ID and the VO said "Congratulations, you are approved."

     

    My wife and I filled out the visa application for him, I listed my wife as inviting him and me as the person who assisted in filling out the application.

     

    For a friend it might be a bit more difficult but I was surprised how easy it was as my father-in-law is a widower with limited assets.

     

     

    Congratulations!

  3. As always, thanks for the awesome photos.

     

    My wife and I will be leaving the 18th for 2 weeks in Guilin, yippee! Maybe I will figure out how to post some photos one of these days.

  4. Not a problem, this is exactly how my wife and I did the wedding. We went to the marriage bureau and got our marriage certificates and had a small wedding dinner with family and took lots of photos in July of 2009. I filed the CR-1 when I retruned to the US and I then went back in Dec of 2009 and had the big wedding reception, something I will remember for the rest of my life!!!

     

    So I don't think you need to worry, just take some photos to send with your petition when you file.
