  1. 10 year GC in hand...now to relax and study Civics questions for the next year!

  2. Woo hoo - got an email stating that on Nov 12 my new GC was ordered! :)

  3. I-751 APPROVED! All aboard the citizenship train! :)

  4. So...after we decided not to leave our home, we started renovating our living room. Happy surprise - found hardwood floor underneath our carpet! :D

  5. Funny how plans sometimes change (or at least threaten to)...

  6. ...flight back to Canada leaves in 18 days. Travis hopefully follows within 3-4 months...

      Sounds like it's for the best to move back then! And woo, a non-killing job is always good, lol!

      Trav&Shell

      LOL no kidding! Work shouldn't equal death, ideally. :)

      Saylin

      No. Although it seems in a lot of cases, it does!

  7. Ahhhh Coffee Crisp...found these in the local grocery store in middle of nowhere southwest VA. Label even says "distributed by Nestle Canada, made in Canada." Just as good as I remembered!

  8. Well, after all the stress of getting here Trav and I are looking (for many reasons) at moving home to Canada. Only obstacle is selling our house...here goes nothin!

      Haha. Well, sounds just about the same as US immigration. Although, if you include the $600 cost for ROC, then no, lol.

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      LOL. Yeah, there's no ROC for us to worry about either (or anyone, as long as you prove your marriage is legit. :) )

    4. Saylin

      Saylin

      Definitely sounds easier and cheaper overall then!

  9. Tires checked, fluids topped up, truck all ready and driving buddy for Trav picked up. Next stop - Charlotte (after a nap)! :)

  10. Wow...an unexpected and awesome effect of my move to VA is that my family back home is becoming closer to me than ever...happy tears!

  11. Phew. FINALLY. NOA1 received!

  12. I-751 check cashed! Yay!

  13. Additional information all ready to go. Left all staples and stamps in place so they could see they were working on my file. Let's hope they don't lose page 3 this time...(verified that I DID originally send everything, but THEY lost a page!)

  14. Gosh, at this rate it looks like my I-751 ended up gathering dust in a box before it even got opened. Check not cashed, no NOA1, no word of anything...not a good start to the wait!

      We waited for 5 weeks for NOA1. Don't worry about it! :)

    2. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      Yeah, they sent it back today. Only word they gave us is "your application is missing pages." It is NOT. I'm going to go beat my head into a wall now.

    3. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      Actually, oh gosh, I'm stupid. It is missing - either I forgot it or they misplaced it. Page 3 of the application itself is kind of...not there...LOL!

  15. I-751 package received by USCIS last Wed. Check not cashed, no NOA1...starting to worry. Also worried about biometrics - want to do a walk in at a different office, not sure that's allowed. SIGH.

  16. I-751 sent in...now to wait...

  17. Enough of this shoveling. I'm building a snowman to greet Trav when he gets home :D

      Snowman built. Trav loved it, and is convinced he married a gigantic kid. Mission accomplished. :)

  18. Somehow, I don't think February in Virginia is supposed to be anything like December/January in Manitoba. Off to shovel snow, and grumble...LOL!

  19. Sure feels weird to be back here...ROC, here we come...guess I should have started it before now but hey, paperwork = my friend...

      Neela & Jitu

      Lets get started :)

    2. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      Yep, it's about time! :) I've filled out the I-751 form, got the affidavits ready, got our wills ready...just have to gather documents. How about you? :)

  20. Have been home for almost 3 months, and it's still SO good to be here :) The long and sometimes tough "Visa Journey" sure makes you appreciate the little things once it's all done...

    1. Saylin

      Saylin

      Wow, it's been 3 months already for you? It feels like just yesterday you did POE, lol!

    2. Trav&Shell

      Trav&Shell

      It still feels like just yesterday when I was sitting in my room angrily/sadly filing my expedite because of all the mistakes, and filing an official complaint against Riley :)

  21. Well...it's my first American birthday and from the looks of things I'll be spending it cleaning...lol! On the upside, got enrolled for university and got financial aid...yay!

    1. Neela & Jitu
