Let's see ... everyone comes to my backyard for a reunion ... put me down for a 'yes'

Good morning, everyone.

I had the sad assignment of taking my wonderful handsome husband Rick to the NAIA yesterday. His flight was at 6:45 a.m. (NWA) and we had to get up at 2:00 a.m. to start preparing ourselves. It was very difficult, he was here with me in Manila for a little over two months (June to August), and everyday we had been checking USCIS for updates (we are still stuck at Last Update = June 3).

Now he is on the road back to Florida (where our daughter Pippo and I hope to follow within the next couple of months)...and it is rather devastating to have spent that much time with him as a family, only to be apart again. It is so heartbreaking...we miss him so terribly....we just want to be home.

I wonder what is taking CSC so long? I read on the Immigration Timelines here about a couple who received their I-129F NOA2 in July 7, 2009...when they filed their I-129F exactly a week a

(I know CR1/IR1 seems to be the visa of choice these days, but for us it means 6 to 12 more months of waiting apart, and with very little means for him to travel back and forth between the U.S. and the Philippines it means a more stressful time for everybody...we appreciate your concerns about what visa route we should take...but all we really care about right now is being reunited...the price of AOS and Lifting of Conditions may be high, but not as high as the combined costs of return airfare and hotel accommodations and personal expenses within 6 to 12 months...not to mention the wear and tear of being apart from each other.)

Like Seren said..the processing times are getting better thatn they were. I know that doesnt make you feel any better. I hope you guys can be a family again very soon. We all understand how hard it is to be apart for so long.

"NEH" I dont, nor do I have any desire to ski sorry guys. The good thing about CO is that Josh and Sasha could play together though

Just no skiing for us, thank you.

I could EASILY and cheaply(no hotels) do cali of course ... that would be my vote

oh, i like the timing too! so a big yes on that one

Lisa, I tried skiing and it was a disaster. What I am looking forward to is trying something else like tubing (how hard can it be to sit on a tube? ) I also want to go on a sleigh ride (all bundled up with hubby under the blankets would be so romantic). I doubt my husband will ski either, so Y and Y can sit and talk about work, how expensive things are here, how lucky they are to be married to us, and how silly skiing is.

I'm totally open for anywhere. Let's see what married2atico says. Does anyone have her number? I don't have it in my phone, otherwise I would have texted her to come "vote"

I texted Jen, she said she's trying to finish up her stuff in CR and couldn't attend. I told her it was for 2010 but then didn't get a reply about it. So we'll see.

Waves hello

Seren - I would go and apply. Wait a few days after you enter on your IR1, then go to your local SSA office with your passport and submit the application. If one has already been assigned to you, then they will just give you a print out of it, and you would just have to wait for the card to arrive.

All in all, it should take you 6 - 7 business days from the time you apply to get your new card.

hit and run

HI GUYS! I hope everyone is having a nice thursday...we're almost done with the week!

Well, we fixed the car ourselves yesterday after I ordered all of the parts online for 130 bucks. If I had taken it to the shop, it would have easily been close to a thousand! No time without the car, no thousand bucks out the door! Im so proud of us lol aaand, it was easy! The impala is back to her old self again lol
