Today I got visa.
7 months of different types of waiting... Let's see:
29.08.2011 - arrived to Baku
06.09.2011 - applied for a 6-months language course visa
05.10.2011 - visa application refused
13.10.2011 - applied for appellation
20.10.2011 - David suggested me to marry
05.12.2011 - applied for marriage in Baku
14.01.2012 - marriage in Baku
25.01.2012 - applied for a marriage visa
02.03.2012 - David received invitation for an interview
26.03.2012 - interview at the immigration office, Berlin
27.03.2012 - call from the Baku embassy (oh what would I give for this call only half a year ago!)
28.03.2012 - passport at the embassy
29.03.2012 - visa in my pocket!!
I will not talk about all the bureaucracy we faced during this period; it would be a hundred-pages novel. Just want to mention the last "drop" from today. I came to the consular section of the German embassy to pick my passport, and when I got it I took some time to look carefully through the page (because my friend Mehriban once got a visa with the wrong dates), and thanks to all Gods that I did it (if you leave the embassy with the wrong information, you cannot change it anymore)!! They wrote my name wrong! Instead of Aghayeva-Edler they put Aghayeva-Elder, and this small technical mistake could have caused loads of problems for me in the future. I wonder if consul did it on purpose, because, I mean, how could you misspell this easiest name!!!
Whatever, now everything is over. In 13 days I leave to Berlin to my loveliest husband to start new life, but before that I have to play to concerts here in Baku. Information about them I will post a little bit later.
(OMG, still cannot realize I GOT VISA!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!!!)
