it almost all done..there is a way to schedule an interview for emrgencies and she went to a place that is helping her out with that to where they can have the interview shceduled in 48 hours, rather than the normal 2 and a half months..shes gotten all her paperwork together, and right now shes just waiting for the woman to call her back and tell her when the interview is going to be, and where..so im keeping my fingers crossed for that..i would like for her to experince the 4th of july, and its possible, just depends on how soon we can get the interview scheduled


i had to get a visa before i went yeah, but it took only 2 days...went to new york city one day to apply, and the next i had to go back to pick it up..that was it..easy compared to everything she needs to come here

Lets just say Stu3ufc was as surprised by the comments as I was.


What all did you have to take to get your visa? When I went to Spain i had to prove I had a few thousand dollars in the bank, had to get a written statement from my doctor, and a few other things that I cant remember. I went on a student visa though so maybe it is different. Did you have to show them your Police record or antyhing like that? I dont have a police record, but wonder how even a minor one could hinder your ability to travel.

yeah it was just a one time thing, he was actually in curitiba for a church ...thing, mission?, i dont know the right word, but he just stopped by and ended up going through a session..

the relationship with him and chute boxe is certainly an open one so who knows for the future..

Dyn, how tough of a time do you think Ill have sticking to a vegan diet in Brazil? I know rice and beans are a staple there, but do you think itll be difficult to have food prepared, asking for no meat, no cheese, no milk, and no butter?

i think youll be alright, if you eat at lunch buffets and also shop at food stores, there will be plenty of options for you..there are also many sushi restaurants in the city, i dont know if beign a vegan you eat fish, but if you do there are also many seafood options

and at the buffets, there are saldas, and all sorts of sides that dont have meat..shouldnt be any harder there then it is here..if not easier there because people are much more health conscious
