My handsome husband is coming over in 3 days and I still can't believe it is happening to me. It is, you know, like a dream! I can't hardly wait to have him back to my arms, it's all I can think about these days.
My hubby loves pineapple and mango so I went to the grocery story and bought pineapple and mango juice for him. I also bought some chicken nuggets that I know he likes a lot and now I am planning what to cook while he is here.
My brazilian culture makes me eat rice and beans every single day (what I really love!) and my poor husband hate it. I mean he is ok with rice and beans, not everyday though. So I am thinking about what I will cook for him. lol
I love to cook so I am thinking about pasta or lasagna some days. My baby and I love italian food! Also I will make some pizzas and cheese balls. It is called "pão de queijo" and my husband loves it. Some salads is good too because we are gonna be fat eating so much like I am planning! haha
For desserts I would love some oreos, I am so addicted with that! Unfortunately we don't have it here. We used to but for some reason I can't find it anymore.
Last weekend I looked at all my clothes and decided I wanted to donate some for the poor people. I won't take most of my clothes with me to the USA, it would cost much money and with this money I can renew my closet, wow I really like this idea! I need some new clothes! :p
I separated, believe it or not, 2 biiiiggg boxes full of clothes! I had no idea I had that much! LOL I don't wear them and poor people will need it more than I! My mom will donate it to the church we use to go. They have a nice program for needy people. Now my husband will have some space in my closet! He has a empty drawer only for him :)
He will arrive here at 4am on saturday. Of course I will not sleep at all! My friends are going to pick hubby up at the airport with me.
God, please? Can you make these days go quickly so I can see his handsome face?
Thank ya, lol
I will tell later how was the reception for my love!
See ya and thanks for reading my blog! It's really cool it has been visited for almost 400 people! It's a pleasure to share my history with yall!

Last friday I had my medical done! It was very easy and simple. I already had called the doctor before to know which vaccinations should I take and I took them on april. So my vaccinations were ok. My appointment was scheduled to 1pm and I arrived there 10 minutes earlier. I met Tacia, a girl I have met at the visa journey (what a coincidence!!!), her appoimentment was 30 minutes before mine. :)
The secretary filled some papers and I signed two of them. I had to take with me the appointment letter, my passport, a pic 3cmx4cm size and my vaccionations records. Few minutes later the doctor called me in and asked me some questions about my marriage and how we met (I thought I was at the consulate interview already LOL). So he asked me some questions about my health: smoke? drink alcohol? have some health problem? already had kidney stone? had some surgery? and some other questions I don't remember now. Then he weighted me and measured me. So I took my clothes off (in another room and alone) and wearing an apron waited for the doctor to go into the room I was. He came and examined my breasts and vagina surface and real quick. Also checked my back with the stethoscope. After that I had to read some small letters (I was wearing my contacts lol, but I told him before) and I was done! His secretary guided me about the two examinations I had to do and where I could do it cheaper! yeahhh lol I left his office and went straight to do the examinations (the laboratory was really close, 2 blocks away) I made an x-ray of the chest and blood test for syphilis.
Now I will have to go back there to pick my sealed envelope up on thursday next.
That's it, I am ready for my interview already! Thank God!
This picture is from when I left the USA for the first time. It was so hard, I cried like a baby!
Last friday my baby booked his flights (round trip) to come to Brazil, he is coming june 4th so I decided to buy my one way ticket too so I can flight back to the USA with him. OMG is getting so close!!!
Right after I bought it I wasn't sure about what I was feeling. I was so excited and sad at once. I really can't explain my feelings at that time lol. I started to imagine my husband walking thru the gate at the airport and coming back to my arms again! I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about that! I can't wait to see his face! It's been so long.
But then I realized I will leave everything here really soon. I will miss my mom, my friends, my language and my country. I am sure my husband will be worth it though :)
It's just that the reality just hit me up! But in the other hand I am very, very excited to start my new life beside my baby.
I know that the Embassy advises: "do not buy tickets till you have the visa in hands" but I will take the risk! My interview will be june 29th and my ticket is for august 10th. Plenty of time, I guess! LOL If something goes wrong I will just change the date. Praying for everything goes smoothly.
Next post I will tell you about our plans to live in Los Angeles!
;-)
Yeahhh, hubby is coming to Brazil next month. He will attend the interview with me which will make my way easier. The U.S. Consulate for immigrant visas is 6 hours far away from where I live, it is in another state. We will enjoy this trip together :-) My baby is not in activity duty at the military anymore, he left last march, he is still on the reserves though. By the way he can not start his job because he needs my green card and I still dont have it lol ;). So he talked with his unit and they will let him come to Brazil and wait for the interview here.
I am dreaming awake thinking about the day I will pick him up at the airport and then we wont be far apart from each other anymore :) I miss him so much. It's been 3 months and 19 days I dont see my better half.
See ya soon
Hey guys! Today I will tell you when my NVC drama started.
I had been told my husband that he would need to fill out the forms and he would need his tax return. Ok. He packed everything in Alaska and paid a moving company to ship his stuffs. Well, guess what? He shipped his TAX RETURN along with his stuffs.
Like I said previously our case reached at NVC on march 28th. They were pretty fast to send us the AOS and IV Bill. But we had to wait til my husband's stuff to get at this home to start filling out the I-864 form. Plus, my husband doesnt make money enough now since he left military so we needed my father in law to be my joint sponsor. My parents in law are awesome, I love them, so supportive and helpful!
My mother in love and father in love were working on their form and my husband could not start his til april 13th. After he got his tax return he was pretty fast and got everything done by april 15th. He mailed the AOS package and IV package (which I had sent many days before we received the IV Bill - I was prepared lol) together.
NVC got it on april 18th. On april 30th we got an email saying they had received our IV package but were still waiting for the AOS package. I thought that really strange because we sent both packages together. I have read many times at the Visa Journey website that NVC loses some documents eventually. I was desperate. Asked my husband to call NVC on monday and he was told to not worry about that. The form probably was at the building but still not on their system and we would have to wait for 20 business days . Oh My Gosh we had been waiting so much, but ok lets wait!
Two days later we got another e-mail asking the same thing. I started panicking thinking they may should have lost our documents.
Asked hubby to call NVC again and he was told the same thing. Few days later we got another e-mail. I was definately panicking so much. Asked my husband again to find out what is going on. We fought many times because of this process and I can't wait to be done with everything.
He was told that same thing and at this time I didnt believe NVC anymore. My husband was angry because I had been calling him many times asking million different things so I decided to solve that by myself.
I called NVC and a lady told me to wait 20 business day. On may 10th, NVC e-mail me again and I knew they had lost our documents. So I replied the e-mail asking what is going on, explained I was very worried about that and who was right. The e-mail or the operator. They replied me again on may 11th saying that they had no record of receiving the package. I emailed them again with proofs of delivery (my husband had sent them two days before this day but they had not replied him) and started waiting for the response and was planning how I would manage to send the AOS package again as I had the package with me in Brazil. (like I said I was prepared and asked my husband to make two identic packages (original), he sent one to NVC and the other one he sent to me :D).
For my happyness when I got home at night on may 11th, I tried, as usual, to log into the payment website and guess what? Sign in Failed!!!
I was so happy, serious, I was almost crying!
Then on 12th (today) I called NVC and I was told our documents were on final review and will be closed by tomorrow and soon we will be at the line to be scheduled for the interview! She said we might dont get it for june but for july is for sure!!!
That's it. I am happy they haven't lost our package and I am greatful to all visajourney people who has helped a lot!
