Been while! New Updates!!!!

Ok so It's been quite awhile since I've been on VJ, but I decided to log in and see how everyone was doing in their journeys and also post an update.

OK so as of now, my husband has already received his work card and we got his SSN. We have an appt. for our interview Feb. 20th and we are so excited.

We have been so blessed that all of this has gone by so fast for us. Thank god. We actually didn't file anything until October, we received the work card in December and we got the SSN in December as well.

I was fortunate enough to have the help of a wonderful woman who I have know for about 8 years, I used to date her son for 3 years when I was in HS. Anyway, she recommended that we file for AOS, not the K1 because my husband had already been in the states for awhile, overstayed his visa actually, but she knows the tricks and secrets in the whole "immigration business" so she said he would be fine as long as we got married and went ahead with the process. We got married in July and finally went ahead with the process in October. She only charged us $500, she walked us through the entire process, printed out all the paper work for us to fill out, typed everything for us, did my husband's first set of finger prints, she sent everything in, It was such a crazy month I don't even remember all what went on. She even constantly checked on his status for us to keep us updated. She has worked in immigration for about 20 years so I knew she knew what she was doing. Next step is to go to her house so she can prepare us for the interview. She was actually really surprised that they sent my husband his work card and his appt. for the interview at the same time, we received both in the same day. But we are extremely happy and so is she. She must have pulled some strings because honestly, I have heard nothing but horrible things about this process and how long and grueling it is. My mother's friend has a daughter who married a man from the UK and they called me to get my help. I referred them to the woman that helped me and they loved her! They had already hired and paid someone else a lot of money to assist them, but she was no help to them at all. They are just about done with everything and almost complete with their process and they started in November. So they were very blessed as well.

I just want to say good luck to you all and I really help that this process goes by very quickly for you as well.

God Bless and best wishes to you and your families.

Thank you for letting me share.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Oh, I forgot to mention that of course we completed all of the medical and everything, that process was done in October and was sent in with all of our other paper work so they received everything at the same time.
