Reschedule

We have made an executive decision (in fact I insisted that Jeremy make the final call) to reschedule our departure until the green card is safely in hand and that means postponing our flights until probably January. Although we had toyed with the idea of going to the US for Christmas and then having me fly back to finish off the green card process, that just sounded too crazy. I have now sent in confirmation to the embassy that I have all my documents ready and have also went to London last week for the medical, but we still don't have an interview date.
Therefore we have just one more week until we have to change the flight dates and no idea what new date to go for! If we don't have an interview date soon and if I can't get any information from the embassy helpline, then we will have to err on the side of caution and pick a date in February, just to make sure we will be ready to leave.. we certainly don't want to have to pay another £400 fee to change the date twice! We are paying out so much money for every little thing (e.g. £70 for a police certificate, £40 to obtain a copy of Jeremy's long birth certificate, £200 for the medical plus getting to London and back endless times), that at this rate we won't be able to afford a down payment on a house when we get to the states.. so much for the American Dream!

So we continue to live in limbo and that just leaves far too much head space for second thoughts, so I've taken up knitting again to try and keep myself busy and stop my brain talking me out of the plan altogether! The longer we stay, the stronger my new friendships get an the more comfortable Dylan gets with his surroundings, poor boy.. it will all be very confusing for him when we finally move I'm sure, although he has heard us talking about going to America for so long, he probably wonders when we will actually go!

Perhaps I should knit some socks to stop me getting cold feet.
