We left at 8:45 am to go to the US consulate. Cameras are not allowed so there are not pictures. Our friends Marty and Shannon took a picture of us in the lobby of the building. When we get that I will add it.
Basically when you clear security you sit and wait for the consulate person to give you an explanation to what is going to happen. It a simple 1, 2, 3 process:
1. Take the oath for your child. (It's not a citizenship oath but an "immigrant oath." I assume that is because our children gain instant citizenship when we get back to our US port of entry (Los Angeles).
2. Pay the Visa fee of $404
3. Interview and submit the prepared Visa paperwork to the window.
That is it and you are done.
Next we went to the "Pearl Market" which turned out to what Americans know as a indoor mall. It was definitely the place to buy Pearls for a great price and get guaranteed quality at a low price. I now have Danielle's birthday and Christmas gifts.Tonight we are off to the Pearl River cruise dinner. It should be fun as long as we don't get motion sickness.
