Bubble RUN 5K - 2017

This Is SPARTA!

Since we are both now working, getting time off simultaneously to have a short vacation has been challenging. We have never heard about Bubble RUN until it randomly popped up on our Facebook news feed. Apparently they do this every year in many cities across the U. S. This year, the Kentucky event was on July 29th, 2017 in Sparta which is only an hour drive from our place. With a $20 fee for each, you will get the admission to Bubble RUN and the merchandise (race t-shirt, bubble runner headband, a temporary tattoo and race bib number with safety pins).

We woke up early on that day because we had to pick up our merchandise an hour before the race. By the time we got there, we forgot to bring cash for the parking fee for $10 (we swear we didn't do this in purpose!). We asked the parking attendant if we could find ATM nearby because we didn't have any cash. He looked at us and said,  "You don't have any cash at all?", we shook our heads and he sighed and let us pass with no charge ðŸ˜‚. We arrived around 6 AM and there were not many people there so we could get the good parking spot. We picked our merchandise and got ready for the event. 

Bubble RUN is not a race, even though you have to do 5K, it doesn't mean that you have to run. There's nothing competitive about it so you can enjoy it any way you like. For each kilometer, you will go through Foam Bogs with different color bubble foam to cover you from head to toe, and be entertained with some loud catchy music. It was so fun when you passed the Foam Bog. You can take your time to take pictures or videos, because there's no timing clock. We had a lot of fun there and they still have many upcoming events, so we strongly recommend you to go. Here are the pictures from our first Bubble RUN 5K:

Organizing Documents for CR-1 (Spouse) Visa Interview

Immigration involves endless amount of paperwork, time, stress, money, and sheer force of will at times. I would like to share some tips on how to organize your documents to make it easier, based on my experience. Using 3 different color folders, I separated the documents based on their classification. Folder A - Interview Packet Our lawyer suggested to separate all the documents that are listed on the interview letter in one packet, so that's what I did. The first folder contains: Copy of the appointment letter Original unexpired passport and copy of the biographic page Two (2) color photographs sized 5cm x 5cm Confirmation page from DS-260 application for an Immigrant Visa submitted online at ceac.state.gov Original birth certificate, English translation and copy Medical examination results in a sealed envelope I put each of the documents in each plastic folder (see image below) and marked it with sticky notes. Folder B - Affidavit of Support P

The Road to CR-1 (Spouse) Visa

Image
It had been such torture to be left in limbo about our case. Our case was approved on July 1st, 2016 but we were still clueless about the result because the  USCIS has transferred the case to the  NVC .   E very day, w e checked the progress on their website in case there was an update but the result remained the same, " At NVC ". Our lawyer said it usually takes 2 months but it had been 3 months and still hadn't received any news.  Ayu read any thread and article she could find on Google and even made an account on VisaJourney   to talk about our case with people who were going through the same process . We learned people would call the NVC in order to get an update on their case and they did so every day, so we thought it was a good idea as well. Surely, it wouldn't hurt to try.  In the beginning of November, Joe made his first phone call to the NVC, and as people had mentioned on their blogs, he had to wait for at least 40 minutes until he got a chanc
