Immigration
First off, I totally yanked this icon from someone on my immigration website! I think it's pretty perfect!
Secondly, immigration sucks. The whole process is one big, giant... for lack of a better word... clusterfuck. (I love that word/s!) There is so much to do on this next step it is so overwhelming.
And of course, it can't just be cut and dry. Like Step 1: Fill out these forms. Step 2: Send them here. Step 3: Bring these with you. Nooooo... There's like secret forms that I had no idea about until someone else mentioned them to me. And all sorts of other crap that goes along that I just happened upon by chance. I know that it's the US government, so they have to makes things difficult, but do they have to make it THIS difficult?
I know in the long run that it will totally be worth it. I have to keep telling myself that every time it gets really overwhelming.
To top it all off, Matt's parents are being turds about the whole thing. That's about as nice as I can put it. The crappy thing is, I got along very well with them! But his mom is freaking out about him coming out here. Now, not without good cause. He is an only child, and she worries about him. I get that. I 100% get that. But, it seems that sometimes she's just being downright mean about the whole thing. Saying things to him that really upset him. I feel bad too because there's nothing to do, and at the same time, my family is uber supportive and is thrilled about the whole idea. I know I'm not the one moving, but I got both my parent's blessings if I should happen to be the one moving.
On another note, Matt may be coming here in December (fingers crossed.) He's requested the time off work, so we're just waiting now to see if they'll give it to him. He'd be coming for a whole month, which would just be amazing! But, I'm not getting my hopes up too much. Don't want to get all excited and then have it not happen. But, everyone hope for us!
