Hello Everyone,

Glad things turned out great for Rita and Tashi and cannot wait to see some pics.

Well I just got back from Ft lauderdale, My parents went with me to meet Adrian, he got us passes to come on the ship, so my parents had lunch on the ship while he took me down to show me his cabin and some of the other places on the ship. He was a little embarassed to show my parents his cabin (it is very very small for 3 men to live in) so we just met up with them after they ate and then we went and drove around Ft lauderdale for a little bit. We got to ft lauderdale about 12 but we could not get on the ship till 1 so time was short since he had to be back to work at 4pm.....so anyway things where good, my dad said Adrian was a very quiet person and Adrian said that my dad was very quiet also...the only negative I heard from my parents is they said Adrian needed to wear pants that fit him (he wears them a bit big to try and make himself look not so skinny) and tuck in his shirt ...but I thought he looked great....my parents are just old fashion.

Until Later, Joanna

Joanna,

This is great! If the only thing your parents complained about was how his clothes fit, everything is going to be just fine.

i am so frustrated right now. we are trying to get Henry's daughters tourist visa and the interview was this morning. after all the spending and organizing with the mother...it didn't go well. get this...

when i filed k1 it asks about any children. i put henry's daughter and checked the box "coming at a later date" becuase uscis advised me that i should do this in case we are ever going to file for her gc in the future.

we didn't even think about that in regards to the tourist visa...however kingston did. they told the mother that the daughters name was still in the system and that we have to clear that before they can approve the tourist visa. of course not only does the mother think we were planning on stealing the daughter...but i have no idea how to clear that out of our original application almost a year ago.

needless to say. before I begin to try and deal with kingston, i am on hold right now with uscis to see if they have any inside tips for me. they better, i've paid them enough money$!$!

...Dara, never a dull moment with this crazy immigration process. I'm sure everything will work out.

Dru-it must be a relief for you to get that assignment behind you. Hang in there.

How does it feel being a married lady? I was going to look at your pictures but forgot my id for yahoo. That's what being a married lady does for you. Anthony and I went out today for GED class. He passed the pre-test but still wants to take the beginning classes to strengthen his math. We got receipts for AOS and EAD on Feb. 25.

Not yet, I just received notification of the case going to Kingston today dated the 23rd. If I recall correctly they usually schedule the interviews at the beginning of the month for the following month. If this policy is still in effect we should here something soon for a date in April.

Eric, next time you feel depressed holla! We are all here for you. We have all had some good days and bad days and expect more of the same. We are thankful that there is so much love and support in the VJ family to help us through the day. We will keep you and your wife in our prayers.

Eric-welcome back and best wishes on your petition. Hopefully you'll be with your wife soon.

For everyone with their loved ones here, what was the biggest adjustment that they had to make? How were they able to overcome their obstacles? And what was their biggest misconception about America/Americans?

Welcome back Eric, you were missed. Glad things are looking up. How was your trip? And how has your daughter been enjoying boot camp. My daughter ships out to Iraq in June for the 2nd time. Again welcome back.

That's good news, Ann. Everytime I think I am beginning this process, I, through my own fault, take two steps behind.
