Check the I94, I think it's on there.
There's no A on there either. Just a departure number....unless it's on the back which is also an enigma since the directions state to copy front and back of I94 but there is no back since it's stapled to the passport and we're afraid to unstaple it.
I'll check the NOA2 when I get home and hopefully it's on there.

It should be on the NOA2, as this is a number issued by USCIS, not DOS.

Remove it and restaple it. My husband's A number is on his I94. His I94 fell off so I had to restaple it.

ok but if we get in trubble i'm blaming you! lol. I almost did it last night but then I got that feeling that I get when I want to take the tag off of the pillows that says "do not remove under penalty of law".

if it is anything like nessa's, it looked like a doctor wrote it. we had to decipher it by comparing it to the number on the visa in her passport.

u know why doctors write so sloppy? to give the lawyers a hard time in court in case of mal practice cases. if they cant read it then how can anyone else...this is what my husband said anyway but i think his writing is just crappy by nature.

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!
14 days until my love arrives......yippeeeeeeeeee
On a sad note my baby boy kitty of 13 years is dying of renal failure and I am having a hard time dealing with that. So it is a bitter sweet time for me right now.
Huggs to all

With the letters I've gotten from Waleed so far from Egypt he writes surprisingly well in English for a Doctor. I told him with his fluency in English in speaking, reading and writing he'll have no problem transitioning into the medical profession in the US. I think even the medical transcriptionist wouldn't have to ask him questions.

Sorry you can't sleep! I'm cleaning, taking a thesis break. I hate my thesis. I hate cleaning. Neither one is particularly as awesome as what I really want, which is to sleep. Giant plant just went outside to get acclimated to live on the back porch for the summer. It's like i have so much room now in the diningroom, I don't know what to do

I put up a little cafe tale in there since he likes that room so much.

Teaching assistant or research assistant or outside work? I've read articles that state that student loans are not as readily available to graduate students are they are to undergraduates.

Why not? I think you just have to breathe to get a student loan. I worked outside. Our school has no funding for master's students, and our department has about 3 spots for PhDs. everyone is self-funded these days at ,many schools.

I'm not sure why. The articles I've read stated it as a fact though and they offered solutions like a TA and RA. Hmmm... I assumed before I'd get student loans but now after looking further I am having to consider self funding which is food for thought for now.

no such thing as "only a cat"
a cat is:
- a good listener
- a good bedwarmer
- performs well as a dustmop
- a mobile entertainment system
- an alarm clock
- the best spider prevention product available
- a vermin reduction specialist
- i'm sure more can add to this list
