Mick Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Eric, FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Wow. Has GZ gotten the clearance yet? Visa issued yet? This is such great news for us, and bad news for France (since you won't be moving back.) BrianBrian...Yes, she's on the plane as we speak...Juust kidding... I wish...Just the clearance for now my friend sent to GZ, 2/1 and yet to be re-re-confirmed by moi with another source.., just in case I'm gonna hold the movers for a while and see what happens For what it's worth Eric, Richard Adams told Owen and I that he had basically shut down the Immigration Visa unit for two weeks, beginning February 10, to process the anticipated flood of clearances. So this may expedite things. He showed us a print out of an internal memo to his staff that detailed their plan for dealing with any large influx. In addition to periodic interview shut-downs, it also included working every other Saturday. So maybe they can churn out a lot in the next week or so. Of course Monday is President's Day and they will be closed I think. But there are no more major holidays coming up, except for St. Patricks Day on March 17. Maybe they won't be closed for this, the greatest of holidays, but they may be hung over from drinking all that green Qingdao. Link to comment

Yes, you told us.... but I think his reported statement of up to 1000 /day was grossly optimistic... that's 21 people on it non stop by my basic math.Then again, I was not there. You were..We'll see the light at the end of the tunnel...we will..OMG ! It's a freakin freight train going head on! Link to comment

tonado Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 BTW: Hope you don't drop off the board like some of these other guys. And can you give me a few of your excess blue-thingies???? No welfare here. You have to earn your thinggies. It is like love, it takes time to earn love from your gal. You will get the 10 thinggies some day (like getting the visa). Link to comment

And besides, Eric and I have been accused of having a perverted kind of love anyway. I should get at least two blue thingies as an award for both libel and slander. May we all get these visas soon or else we may all go off the deep end. Eric, if you need money you ought to follow-up on that vinegar thing over here. Another possibility, import these wedding dresses and sell them in Wichita, Latvia, or elsewhere. You could make a bundle on these things. Link to comment

owenkrout Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I am behind in hearing about this, but you have my most heart-felt congratulations on your case clearing. Hopefully, ours will follow before long, since Andrews admitted that she had passed the namecheck back in November of 2000. Seems the second check was a bit more difficult. Link to comment
Guest agl88 Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Owen,Can you explain there are two name checks? Thanks. Link to comment
