  1. Hello VJ! It has been a while! I hope everyone is doing ok!

  2. Visited my family for a week and a half, back home in the US now. Missing them very much.. :(

  3. Yesterday marked my one year anniversary of living in the US. What a crazy year it has been!

  4. I got my Green Card today! No more papers for a while now! Time to start planning my trip to Canada!

      This is fantastic news. It must seem weird that now your vacations will be to Canada instead of from Canada. I hope that you are having a wonderful time living in the USA and enjoying married life.

  5. Finally an update! I received a letter stating that I have been approved as a permanent resident and should be expecting my green card within the next three weeks! Alhamdullilah. I was getting impatient. Although the wait has been lengthy, I am glad I didn't have to deal with an interview. Also, my first July 4th was great

  6. Happy Canada Day! Last Saturday we celebrated my husbands birthday for the first time while being together! it was amazing. I miss my family and friends in Canada greatly however, i cant wait to give my parents and siblings great big hugs again

  7. Yesterday morning i had to drive to work in the worst storm i have ever had to drive through, I don't remember storms being like this in Ottawa! The weather here is a little scary..

  8. I got my drivers license last weekend, I was a nervous wreck even though I had been driving for years in Canada!

  9. Starting my new job tomorrow, I feel a little nervous! Hope everything goes well Inshallah. I will miss having all of this free time, but I can't wait to feel productive again!

      Excellent news! Did you go for any job, or a job in your field? I have begun my search, however, not getting any bites as of yet.

      I went for a job in my field (early childhood education). I'm teaching in a Pre-K classroom. I had this job lined up for me months before I got my EAD card. I hope you get some offers soon, and a position that you like. If it wasn't for me having this job lined up, I probably would have taken whatever I could until I found something in my field of studies.

      NOA1 was November 7th, Biometrics was December 3rd. It took a little over two months.

      Got mine in December. We filed for AOS back in October. Looks like a longer wait for the Green Card! Haha

  11. Eagerly waiting for my EAD card, hoping to get it soon Inshallah.

      Hi! How are you? I haven't been on here much but I am glad to see that things are moving along for you. I hope that you are happy and living life! Our paperwork hasn't made it back to the States yet and it has been 6 months. PPL said that it could be 2 years to get to have a second chance. I guess that might be true. Stay in touch and Happy Holidays!

      Thank you two! Heart, I'm sorry it's been taking so long for you. Your strength and patience is admirable. I really hope 2 years is not the case, I hope you will get your second chance sooner. Over here things have been fine, I'm thankful to be here and happy. Praying for the day you are in the same spot :)

  14. Happy American Thanksgiving! I hope everyone I know who has moved to the states recently enjoys their first Thanksgiving here! And to everyone else as well. Good luck to those still waiting on news to be with their loved ones!

  15. Hey, how is it going? I've been checking up on you every now and then in hopes for some good news. How is everything?

  16. Good luck on your interview on Monday!!! Wishing you the best!

      Hey Rema. I waited 4 weeks after my arrival and I'm still not in the system. I'm letting them do the manual verification since they said it would be 4 weeks. I'm good with my I-94 until mid November.

      Hey Stacy, I wasn't in the system still after three weeks as well, but I guess he did the manual application for me. I got my SSN only about a week and a half later. Last week I went to the SSN office again with my card, and asked to have my name changed since I got married and the lady said I still wasn't in the system but they'll print me a new card once they get the "OK" from immigration. I don't know why they're being so slow with everything, but as long as I h...

  18. Thank you so much :) I'm praying for the day you get to share some good news as well, stay strong!

  19. Hey Victoria! Safe travels tomorrow! Hope everything goes smoothly for you :)

  20. Safe travels Stacy! :)

      POE review is up :)

  22. You're more prepared than me lol, I still have some packing to do. I'll likely have 2 suitcases and my small carry-on. I am very nervous! I just want this all to be over with, hoping it goes well for both of us.

  23. How's the packing going? :P

  24. That's good to hear! And thank you, I hope it will.
