Oh come ON!
So, if you thought that the courier service used by the American Embassy in London would be efficient, or at least not ridiculously inept, well you would be wrong.
They lost Gary's passport.
Let me say that again. They. Lost. Gary's. Passport. That's right, they have no idea where it is. It might still be at the embassy, it might be classified under the wrong post code (in which case they don't have a good way to look it up), it might have disappeared into the ether.
When he told me I freaked out for a minute, then I thought "It's ok, we can still have the wedding, we just won't sign the marriage license, that way we still aren't legally married so the fiance visa isn't void, and we can still use it to adjust status. He'll just have to go back to the UK to get it, which will cost money we don't have, but at least we will get to be together and to have our wedding."
Then I remembered that the visa is inside his passport--no passport = no coming to the US. Period. He has a plane ticket for 2 weeks from Saturday, and as of right now no passport.
I'm FREAKING OUT!!
(Of course he's not, because he never freaks out about anything, and it will probably all be sorted tomorrow...hopefully...maybe? AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!)
