Another step on the path to America

Saturday Jason received an awaited piece of mail from the US Consulate. It was a letter confirming his interview date for application of his Fiancé Visa. Come next Monday, he will be making the ninety minute drive to Auckland to meet with his interviewer at a small window within the Consulate office. (This latter description confirmed by an American-born patient who recently had to make the same journey with her New Zealand husband to confirm that he wouldn’t jump ship when they went on their two week vacation in America.) According to the letter, he will receive his passport back within four days, hopefully “visaed” and ready to go. Okay, so the US Consulate may not have the best grasp of verbs within the English language, but hopefully they will have the kindness to grant us the final step in our attempts to start a new life together in the States.
