UPDATE
So, you ask, what's been happening you recently? Well, I reply, not a whole lot. But also, quite a lot too. 
Firstly I went to New York again! But only for three days, and it was a business trip. Not much time for sight-seeing. I had to open a bank account, talk to immigration lawyers and file my taxes. Why would I do that? Because we're moving to New York in April next year! It's finally happening, we're in the middle of processing the paperwork right now. It's a long, expensive and difficult process, but we've started now.
The stages are:
1. Pay my taxes for the last three years.
2. Apply to sponsor Soryi.
3. Get interviewed, prove we're in a legitimate marriage and are genuinely planning on moving to the states (hence the bank account)
4. Soryi gets a temporary visa allowing her to enter the country (she can't at the moment, even as a tourist, which is why I went alone).
5. Soryi gets a permit allowing her to work.
6. We move there.
7. Soryi gets a permanent residence permit.
While I was there I had a few interviews with the company I'm working at now, everything seemed pretty positive, but nothing guaranteed because it's so far away. I'm hopeful though.
I did have a few spare hours though, and went to the Top of the Rock and a New York deli. Not Katz this time, too expensive, but 2nd Ave Deli, which was MUCH better, and a lot cheaper. Went to Taco Bell as well. It was fun. 
I've been getting into photography a lot more too.. We've got a pretty good camera, and I've been playing with it a lot recently. Nothing amazing, but I'm still learning a lot. I've been collecting some vintage cameras too... We've got 15 now.
I went to a work organised Mad Men party last friday. It was fun, drank too many terrible martini's though. Had a hangover, which something I'm no longer used to. For people who don't know, Mad Men is a TV show about advertising, which takes place in the early 60's in NYC. Great show, even better theme for a party. I'm holding a Argus C3 camera in that photo. It was an American-made camera, that model is from 1962. It works, but not very well, too hard to focus and ATROCIOUS in low-light.
That's about it. I'll keep people informed of the visa situation.
