:dance: WOW Anna congrats on the weight loss!!!!

Joanna congrats on your NOA2!!!!

I am here! I agree we need something to chat about...I am literally falling asleep here at work. No big weekend plans...just watching the big game on sunday.

Hey Rhonda how crazy is detroit? I hear its amazing how many people are there.

Yeah, Detroit is home of the SuperBowl this year :yes: That's all you hear about on the news all day long for the past couple weeks! They have a big winter festival going on downtown all week too. There are concerts and parties and all kinds of festivities. I don't know if we'll be going down there or not. Just to park your car is anywhere from $20 to $30 and up! :o We have other things we need to do with our money right now! I'm not a big football fan and neither is Tony, but I watch parts of the game to see the cool new commercials that come out. The commercials during the Superbowl cost about 2 million $$$ for like 30 seconds or something crazy! :o

That's all I watch to are the commercials and to see if there are any wardrobe malfunctions :lol::lol:

Good afternoon all!!

I'm heading to the PO to drop off my Save The Date cards for our big wedding this summer. Planning a real wedding is nooooooooooo joke, but I"m so excited about it :P

In other immigration related news, Squito finally received his social security card in the mail this morning. He never received it the first time because our address was inputted incorrectly. :yes:

Glad he got his card. I just told one of my friends that I don't see how people handle planning big weddings. Ours was as small as one can get, and I was pulling my hair out. So I bow to you and all others that have huge weddings.

This new format is confusing....I cannot figure out how to reply to a specific comment.

Anyways... Rita I'm not sure which bills to put in their name...But I plan to start with the utilities, our bank account and the apt lease. We were assinged a SSN but have not gotten the card in the mail. I plan to start the process in a couple of weeks tho.

Rhonda: We are both rule under the same star, he's always telling me.. so I know better than to try to teach him anything, He knows how to drives he's just being bullheaded :yes: The other day he ran a stop sign on purpose on a not so busy street I bout died. He was laughing :angry: Experience will surely be his teacher...No one was coming he added :( Our insurace almost doubled whe I added his car...he assures me that we will not be getting tickets :huh: Today was a good day he drove me around while I did my nursing visits. I didn't have to yell once ;)

Okay I went to Visa pro to print out the AOS, EAD and advanced parole applications, of course they are not labeled as such. Can any one tell which ones to print outl out ?

Hey Dee,

I think you can get the forms from the VJ Example Forms section. I just checked and they have the AOS forms in a filliable format. Although I am not at that stage yet :(

Just a thought.

Good morning ladies.

lots of good vibes out there, weight loss, the blessed NOA's, weddings and babies....congrats to all.

I got all of my forms off of the uscis website. using the ones from visa pro is no problem but always check the codes in the bottom right corner and make sure it either matches the one on uscis website or they allow previous editions to still be filed. I was very careful about that. the fillable forms are great, but remember to check the codes.

just to review...it is the I485, I765, I131 and I think if I remember correctly you have to attach a G325A again! I hated that form. Too much writing.

Rita...for AOS. We had our bank account, a voided check, our lease on our house, car insurance and photos and cards. The interviewer did look at our addressess on our licenses to make sure they matched with everything also. I would say to definitely do bank stuff...some form of insurance if you can...get him a license or just a state liquor i.d. with your address...put his name on one of your utility bills...and maybe make him an authorized user on one of your credit cards...

So we changed the interview date for his daughter to Feb. 27th...we're excited about that. He has been getting very anxious to go home lately. He said its something he's always dreamed of being able to do. coming from america and seeing his friends...I am a bit nervous about going with some tension from the mother of his daughter and hoping that he doesn't come home crazy home sick. Sometimes he says that he hopes he doesn't go crazy after seeing his daughter so that doesn't make me feel so good. We talked about it alot over the weekend and decided that now is the time to go rather than the end of the year or summer. We have the money, and spending it now is better because we know we can make it back this summer...plus, at the end of the year we will hopefully be moving and need every penny we have...

I know it sounds crazy that I'm nervous for the trip, but I just am...plain and simple. I have to do it for our marriage and for us to be stronger...so now i'm looking for flights, etc.

i'll be around all day. :star:
