Just a hit and run. the weekend was too fast, today is too busy and I want to go home :P

Hows everyone else?

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I feel really bad for my wife because I have been working for the last 3-4 weekends (including the weekend of our first wedding anniversary :( ). I can only be thankful that I can work from home but it is not like that makes things any better. This seems to be becoming the new reality for a lot of people - just be happy you still have a job and do whatever it takes to keep it :wacko:

Wife has her AOS fingerprinting appointment on Saturday (I am surprised they scheduled it for a Saturday).

Hi everyone..

NEWS FLASH!!!!

Husbie purchased a new car for me last July 30 and I had a pretty bad car accident July 31.. Less than 24 hours!!!!

My car was hit on the passenger side so bad as the cops and ambulance people described it as heavy accident.

I saw myself inside the car with all the broken glasses all over me. It was such a nightmare. The first thing that came on my mind was if I am still alive and I want to see my husband. I felt emotionally numb right at that moment. I want to burst out crying but I just can't. I could hear all of them talking, they could ask me questions like my name and all but I was just floating. I have never been in an ambulance in my entire life so being there made me soo scared. I was so scared that I might never see my husband and my family again, then I realized that I do not want to die without saying goodbye.

Good news? No broken bones and I am still alive. My doctor said it was very unusual with the kind of impact my body received. Miracle? I guess! I would wake up in the middle of the night and look for my husband beside me, hug him so tight and say i love him so much! I might not be physically hurt by what happened but I do not know when will the trauma and emotional stress would disappear. I know that life has to go on and that the mere fact that I am alive is enough for me to be thankful. It is hard but I know that I should face all my fears at the soonest..

It seems that USA needs to toughen me up the hard way.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

Candid! OMG! Thank God you're okay!!!! :o:o:o

Please be very careful! Yes, we must all remember to never take one second for granted! Thank God you have your husband near you and you're okay!!!!

I can't handle all these catastrophes! You all know how I lost my aunt recently? My cousin's mom just died a few days ago. She was only in her 40's!!!! You just never know! So hug and kiss your spouses and don't ever take them for granted for a second! And don't waste one precious moment being angry over the small, unimportant things! :no: Because you just never know :(

Whoa Candid! I'm soooo glad you're ok. We're still working on getting Diego his license and I am so nervous for him. Our roads are scary!

A little nugget of good news: Diego just received his work authorization! :dance: Our NOA1 was 6/1 and NOA2 was 8/5 - just over two months! Hopefully that means the rest of you won't be waiting much longer either. Now, I guess we just have to wait for the hard copy and go get a SSN?

woohooo :dance: when was his biometrics, or did he have to have one? Im thinking that they are kind of random with that requirement OR they ask for it when you do EAD WITH AOS. just curious..

As soon as you get the hardcopy, yep! you can go get the SS # :D

I noticed that EAD's arent taking the full 3 months lately. Our original received date at VSC was 6/5, so if the ombudsman can get them to use that date we should get ours soon too hopefully yaay
