Things are moving along pretty well with New York plans. After spending a few hours at the US embassy today, my Visa has now been approved. Despite not being able to listen to music or send any text messages for those few hours (ipods and phones are not allowed in for security reasons), it was a relatively painless procedure - hand over the paperwork, give a few fingerprints, an interview here and there, hand over some cash and then I was stamped as A-OK. All good.
