So overwhelming, didn't realize how insane this application for just the first part of getting me a fiance's visa is, and trying to cram it all in this week so that I can submit it as soon as I am in California, on top of Dennis' car breaking down again, and on top of his Grandfater being in the hospital after having a heartattack yesterday, it's just all a little too much for me. Now, I will be in Callifornia in less than a week. My flight gets me there at 7:30 MOnday morning. I still have no idea of how I am getting picked up from the airport, or where I am staying for those first few nights while I work things out, and it dosen't help that I don't know how long it is going to take for the whole Visa process before I can come back to Australia. I bought myself an engagement ring off of Ebay last night so that we have something to show to Immigration as proof of the relationship, which was not the way I had envisioned things happening, not quite the romantic proposal I had in mind really. But this while process which is rushing everything is really changing that. I have to decide on a date and a place and someone to marry us before I even turn in the application, which sucks because I don't have any inkling of an idea on when the wedding will happen because I have no idea on how long this bloody Visa is going to take. It's absolutely insane. Then, we only have 9 months from the time my application is accepted for me to travel back to Australia, get married, and begin the brocess for a Spouse Visa, then for two years after that, I begin the process for a permanant Visa. So, two years after I am married, I will still be having to prove to the Immigration office that I am married, and still living in a committed relationship, and all kinds of stuff. Wonder if that would mean all sorts of documents, or if they'd want to see video by then. On top of all of this, I have about 2 weeks from the time I get back to sell my 57 Chevy. I'm going a bit crazy out here. So, if anyone knows anyone who wouldn't mind me crashing over at their place for a bit while I am down there, it would help out alot. Right now, a beer would help out a lot too. Talk to Y'all later.
