RLS Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 It's a little damp out here, but, I'm sure you don't give a #$*&.Congratulations and have fun. Link to comment
warpedbored Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Good luck at the airport there Larry! Figure your anxiety level might hit an all time peak waiting for her to clear customs/Imm. and come out. I'll send you a PM w/ contact info later for after you're settled in.196658[/snapback]I can tell you from experience you won't stop worrying until she is in your arms. Link to comment

Larry T Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) I am off to LA in a few minutes to pick up my wife. It was a trying at times but well worth it Larry T196614[/snapback]Larry, After her arrival, don't forget to share your experiences here for all of us to enjoy and learn from. Well, at least after you come up for air. 196906[/snapback]What an experience. Her plane was 1 1/2 hours delayed out of Shanghai. So the additional wait caused an enormous amount of anxiety. I spent three hours walking from the arrival area to the mezzanine. Watching and waiting to see her plane come in (China Eastern). I was elated when I saw it pull in and dock. Then the butterflys began. Was she on the plane, would she be the last off, would she be held up by customs. No time to think about it now I had to get back to the arrival area. It seemed to take forever. More and more people arriving from Teipei and no wife and then from around the corner she appeared. I wanted to cry with joy in fact I think I did. She informed me that the customs check went very smooth. Apparently GUZ issues a packet upon approval of the visa that is sealed and which your SO gives to customs upon arrival to the US. Customs then issues a I-94 card which is stapled to the inside of the passport. The I-94 form, acutually a card, is important because it is required for the issuance of a social security card in the US. So for all of the other couples out there make sure your SO's are aware of this form. Good luck to all that are waiting and congrats to those that are in the joyest position I am in.
