I hate it more when you hear people talking and then you walk into a room and they all shut up. Even though it might be a natural lull, don't you totally wonder...

Soon you will meet our very own Platoon Sargent Matt85, VJ Special Forces, Recon. I will promote Field Marshal Chad to fill in Khurram's old rank. He will officially now be Air Marshal Chad, 1st. Tactical VJ Air Force. His former rank will need to be filled soon. Im thinking of CB to be in command of the VJ Panzers. Dunno yet.

I-129f for K-1, right?
And then after, the I-485.
Yes AOS, O'really?
Aha, and maybe you need the AP plus the EAD.
And others are going thru K-3's.

Wait until you get past AOS. Then you'll have to do form numbers .. I-751 for removal of conditions, N-400 for naturalization. Hard enough to remember acronyms, how much more form numbers!!

Yes we do! Yesterday Admiral Sol de Verano, who commands the VJ Pacific Fleet fired upon the enemy and reported no survivors! We were very proud of her.
Last night me and Omoba kept everything under control. 
She sound the trumpet and the enemy ran away
lol, that's like when I drop my kids off at daycare. Every morning this one teacher stands outside with the rest of the kids who are getting on a bus...As SOON as I pull up she looks at me, runs inside, writes something on a notebook, and hides the notebook. OMG, what is that all about?? EVERY MORNING! it's so weird, and it started like 3 weeks ago, so I've been on this major mission to find that notebook, lol.

well that makes me wonder...
if we are all going through the visa journey
and our lives are entangled in all the abbreviations relating to immigration
and all the paperwork relating to our case gets processed at snails pace
then anything in our life is threaded through the immigration process...
so wouldn't that therefore make an off topic not so much an off topic as an aside?
ON the note of the letters & numbers on gov forms.. anyone else just getting to the point where they don't CARE about touches, and e-mails (unless they are approvals).. CIS keeps sending me duplicate e-mails.. mauling my application, and at this stage i'm like .. who cares.. tell me when it's over.. Just approve the darn thing.

I know what you mean!! I was still gettng emails from USCIS telling me that my AOS was approved .... 3 months after I received my green card!!
lol, I thought I was the only one who doesn't really care about the updates. I don't check obsessively...just let me know when I'm approved, lol. I am getting more and more excited since they are approving dates closer to my NOA1.
I know, right! I wanna know soo bad and anytime I try to peek, she flips it over and shoves it into a desk that she guards. She's really nice, but it's just so weird to me.

I mean seriously, pay attention people!!!

hello all, back for a little bit.....Today as been a day from hell here at work
I have to admit though, I was one of those who checked the processing times regularly. I even prepared a spreadsheet to compare how the different district offices had progressed each month. But when my AOS was transferred to CSC, there really wasn't any place for me to check for processing times anymore. So, I had no choice but to wait for emails.

I know what you mean.
But since we are only 3 months and a bit away from our 2 year married mark, we are secretly hoping they don't notice so that we get the 10 year card instead of the 2. But you know how sodds law goes...
the minute you think you are getting a break or something, that's when they start paying attention and processing your stuff.
Maybe they think we like all these forms...
Just one thing after another. Iam on of the two lead IT guys here and we have our hands full today
well at least you are getting a break by coming on VJ and hanging out with us...
Awww, Im sorry to hear that. On top of all your other stresses, how can you handle much more??
oooh, IT...If I were there, I would be one of the ones bugging you because I always call IT for everything! Sorry it's going to rough for you. Hope it gets better.
Well, I'm off for now and on my way to a top-secret appointment. I'll inform you all later. Wish me luck!! too bad I'll miss the 200 page party...party like rockstars, you guys!!

We're waiting for our ice cream and ice cream cake to arrive. Our newest colleague is graduating from college on Friday so we thought we'd have a small celebration for him today.
It'll be just my luck that the ice cream arrives just before this topic hits page 200!!!

That picture reminds me of a convesation we had with our son's girlfriend. She said that she became a vegetarian after a friend of hers showed her a website that had images of how animals are slaughtered. She said that it was horrible how they "killed them while they were still alive"
