Hi it's me...
I just wanted to add to what Peter said about the visa... they decided to ignore his earnings for the last 3 years and focus on the fact that he currently earns enough to support us both. They have been given evidence that he is an upstanding citizen (ie. he pays his taxes every year) and I informed them that he already supports me here. All this has shown them that he is capable of supporting me and that has satisfied them that we will not become public charges when I get to that side. (We know we wont as neither of us could quite stomach having to sign on for federal aid even if we WERE struggling financially... plus, once I am allowed to work aswell... life will be peachy for the two of us!!)
As far as the Dutch police clearance goes... they DID say that they would apply for this one for us... I did remind them that I was in Holland and would be needing this clearance... on the day of my interview they had not yet requested it... BUT they sent in this request on Monday and have told me that it is "only" about 4 weeks to get it, but that they have someone on the inside who apparently does these things quickly for them... I have been advised to get an application in for my own copy... just in case... since if you apply for your own one from inside Holland you are looking at 2 weeks and not 4, I have once again called on Eric and Elizette to save my butt... they will be looking into what they can do tomorrow... and hopefully can hand the request in for me on Monday. Whoever gets there first at this point...
I am starting to wonder if I shouldnt go ahead and request my Israeli one too... although I didnt live there for 12 months, thats all I need is to get the Dutch one, show up for the interview and then be told that I now need the one for Israel too...
Peter and I are in a bubble at the moment... this still doesnt all seem real... I am so depressed I just cry at the drop of a hat and cant stand the thought of getting out of bed for anything right now... Today is Thursday, I should have been arriving in Buffalo today... our 3rd month wedding anniversary is coming up... we thought we would be together for that... and now we wont be... This whole experience is tantamount to torture and I want off this train!

I am so so sorry guys about this new delay, I don't even know what to say. Let me add some tears of frustration to yours.
Sending lots of love and a massive enormous gigantic humongous hug, even tho I know it won't help.

thanks Lu... it's killing us both at this point and I am now at that stage where I refuse to even consider looking at the bright side, or thinking positive... I just expect the worst, that way my hopes wont be dashed like this again...
its "only" four weeks... LMAO!! yeahhhh right... if this was a "fake" marriage... 4 weeks = no problem... but when they are dealing with the real thing 4 weeks after now 10 months is TORTURE!! And to think they were all shocked when I stood there in that office and cried my eyes out... makes me think that they have no idea how hard this is!!
Also had four requests for interviews for jobs I applied to on monster... cant attend them now... and yet they dont want me to be a public charge!! THEY ARE NOT HELPING!!
