Mr.Caballero goes to Washington
Juan entered the US on Halloween, October 31st, and look at him now! It was a bit of a journey-- two full days in Ciudad Juarez taking care of details (medical exam, interview at the Consulate) and two full hours crossing the border at El Paso (the US Border police were humorless but efficient). All in all, the whole thing went VERY smoothly.
My parents met us in El Paso and we drove to Santa Fe for a couple of days of R&R. This included a lovely day of lunch (a men's lunch and a women's lunch!) with friends who helped us celebrate Juan's arrival and our upcoming wedding.We returned to DC on November 4, and after just four weeks, Juan is already singing in a choir, learning his parts for a theater project called the "ESL Living Collage" (more on that later), and gaining mastery of the DC Metro system. Oh-- and he's become a master Raker of Leaves, it being fall and all. More soon!

I'm so happy to hear that Juan is finding connections with things that he loves here in DC. Love the picture!!! If you're going to hear his choir, let me know...I love choir music.

Thanks, Teresa! And thanks for the periodic check-ins.
Shawn, I'll let you know the next time I'm likely to take in a mass at J's church-- the music is awesome, so it's nice even for non-Catholics.
Hi Kat,
I was searching for info on K1 Visas for fiances in Mexico and ran across your blog. Congratulations first off! My name is Scarlett and my fiance, Edwin, is in Playa Del Carmen. We met last year and filed for the K1 in November of 2007. Do you have any advice for us...besides "Patience is a virtue?" haha I'm trying to find people out there who have filed for this visa...especially going through Mexico. Thanks so much and hope to hear from you soon. Oh my personal email is slt0059@unt.edu.
