Ok, all the paperworks is submitted, all the ‘last minute details’ have been taken care of, and my long-term visa application to stay in Bulgaria has been submitted.
The people at the Bulgarian embassy here in Washington D.C. were nice to me, were helpful, and they left me with the impression that because I’m a spouse of a Bulgarian citizen that there should be no further difficulties in granting me the long-term visa.
Of course, 30-40 days must pass, sigh. They told me that I should expect my visa to be available on or about August 1 of this year.
Which works out for me pretty well. My parent’s 52nd anniversary is on August 3rd, so I’ll be staying here … well there in Longview until at least then so I can celebrate it with them. Hopefully within the week I’ll be flying one-way to Sofia.
Now begins the wait.
