Pat's Back From Montreal!

Downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Pat returned from Montreal yesterday.

This time his visit to the American Consulate was successful. There was a brief moment of trepidation, he was asked to provide a means of support once he got married to me and lives in the United States. Then they realized that Pat is retired and has his own means of support (retirement income). 

There is still one more step Pat has to take until he can make the trip from Canada to Delaware. He has to get a physical. He'll call today to schedule a date for this last hurdle.

This has been a long slog folks. I began assembling the paper work last August. Then Pat had to assembly his own booklet of paperwork. I can see now why some people just want to walk over the border to the US. What a long and tortuous process this has been. But at least we're finally getting somewhere. Once he completes his physical and passes (I hope!) then his passport will be returned to him with the K-1 VISA stamp. Then we have ninety days to get married. 

Right now I'm planning on November 9th, my 84th birthday, for our marriage date.

P.S. (He was never able to get to sleep)

The Aftermath Of Pat's K-1 VISA Visit

 

Me and Pat, March 2014 at a Mexican restaurant in Millsboro DE, the restaurant has since been torn down but our love for one another is stronger than ever!

Pat has calmed down after yesterday's fiasco in Montreal. I feel so bad for him. You think you do everything right. You're checked and rechecked and yet you missed one dot. Didn't cross that "T" here. 

"No soup for you!" Go to the end of the line!" As the Soup Nazi said on that memorable Seinfeld episode of many years ago. 

We're not back to Square One. But Pat does have to reschedule another interview online. But he was told yesterday that he would be "ahead of the line." 

I was hoping we could get married this summer but it seems more likely that by this fall the Tipton-Flynn nuptials will take place.
