visa update

this morning I had to ring the American Embassy in London (at the fine and worthy rate of £1.20 per minute!!!) to ask some questions about our pending application for a green card...

Once I got through the automated phone voice (cha-ching) I got through to a live person, a Scottish-accented person!! How ironic eh? Phoning the American Embassy in the heart of London, and hearing a lovely broad Glaswegian accent tickling my eardrums.

anyhoo, this lovely gentleman informs me (after I briefed him of our situation) that we need to download and fill in 2 forms that weren't even mentioned in the paperwork we have received recently from the Embassy. So I have now downloaded the forms-- and now it makes sense! We fill in the I-230 and send it off, and once we have all our paperwork together, we send off the DS-2001 form to let the Embassy know they can schedule us for a visa interview.

makes so much more sense! THAT was worth £6.
