...in 5 days!

Hey,

so in 5 days, on August 5th I will have my Interview for the Visa.

Wednesday I´ll go to Frankfurt. Thursday I will be doing my medical, which is needed for the Visa. And then on Friday is the big day.

Right now my mood is changing every minute. It goes from serenity to happiness, to nervousness and anxiety...

However, two very nice girls, I´ve met through a Forum, calmed me down the past few days. They´ve answered  all my questions, they described to me how the whole Interview process works, and especially encouraged me repeatedly that I´ll make it and at the end can walk out of the Consulate quite proud. 

So I want to say thank you to Jenny and Sina! :) 

Actually, I´m prepared really well! I go through all the questions they could ask and I´m checking all the documents. 

I can tell you I´m so happy when this Interview is over. Eric is at least as nervous as I am!! So you all have to cross your fingers for me, on Friday, August 5th at 7.45 a.m., german time :)

I´ll post you a report after the Interview!

Final steps...

Hey there,

I´m back with some new info!

On Thursday, Pack 4 arrived and the Interview appointment was set for July 29th.

Unfortunately, I had to change the appointment cause I applied for the Police Record too late and it takes them two weeks to send it to me. Therefore, I changed the Interview appointment to the Week after.I´m not sure what exact Date the Interview will take place, yet. But they send me a new invitation for the Interview which sould be here someday next week. I assume that my Interview will be the first August week. 

So I´m already really nervous and excited! This is the final step to the Visa. Right now I´m going through all the papers over and over again, to make sure I have everything I need. I cant wait to go to Frankfurt and get through this Interview and then hopefully go home with the knowledge to have the Visa in the Mail soon. 

This morning I also booked my flight to Boston.

August 29th will be the day I finally can go back home, to my Babe. I´m already so happy to see Eric again and for everything else that is coming.

So now I start my personal countdown... In 5 Weeks, Eric and I will be together again!

Wish me all the best and cross your fingers for me, for the Interview.

Of course there´s going to be an extra post before and after the Interview.

Talk to you all very soon.

~ Let me go home, I´m just too far from where you are... I wanna come home~

Pack 3

Last week I got Pack 3 in the mail. Luckily, I already had all needed documents here, so I sent everything back to the consulate the next day. Now I´m hoping to get my Interview appointment someday this week. Eric and I want to book the flight as soon as we know the appointment for the Interview. I´m already super excited to finally know the date I can go back to him!!

At the moment there´s an up and down of emotions... One day I´m all fine and I´m happy that soon everything will come to an end and the next day I´m sad because I miss Eric so much. I cant wait for this one day I finally can go back and all the stress falls off of me and I´m back in his arms again. Tomorrow I´m going to pick up my police record and go to get some post stamps, then I´m definitely all set for the Visa.

On Saturday we had a small Family day. I met my Mom, my Brother, his Girlfriend and her kids at the lake. It was really nice... and then I just realized that soon a whole new life, far away from home, will begin. I wont see my Family and Friends that much anymore. My Brother and I ended up crying cause he´s always been a really important part of my life, he´s always been there for me and I´m going to miss him a lot.

I´m going to try my best to enjoy my last weeks in Germany as much as I can... and then fly in my new home, with alot of anticipation... and be with the man I love more than anything. 

I´ll talk to you all soon... :)

My Week!

Hey,

after about a week I´m back :)

I still can´t believe that we´re approved and that now everything is coming together slowly.

Currently, I´m waiting for my Pack 3 to come. I already filled out all needed Forms yesterday. It took me about 2 hours... And I´m glad I´m done with this part!! 

Now, I only need a few small things, such as passport pictures, birth certificates and my criminal record.

Thursday was a great day as well!!

My Weddingdress came in, I ordered it online and got it custom made! It is such a beautiful dress. Its´s just a little too long, cause I´m too small I guess :) But thats not a big deal, I´m going to get it fixed when I´m over there. I´m looking forward to the day I can put it on, even though its more than one year away from now, since we "only" get married at the City Hall this year... The "real" wedding is going to be next summer, and I so cant wait for it! But yeah, one year can go by so quickly! 

So, for now I´m hoping to get Pack 3 soon. After I sent it back I´m going to get my appointment for the Interview which is hopefully soon so I can go back to Eric, as we planned it, in September. 

So please, keep your fingers crossed for us :) 

I hope you all are going to have a great rest Weekend!
