My favorite is that Daniel's whole family say "Do What?!?!?" instead of "huh", "pardon" or "what?" but now I find I say it too....they have a ton of them though! I think it's funny that he thinks Rockets candy is called Smarties and has no idea what REAL Smarties are about.
They also say "you'll have that" whenever you talk about things going wrong, or a problem comes up. He makes fun of me when I say route and doesn't know what I'm talking about when I say crayfish. He thinks they're called crawdad's 
But mostly, his friends and family sit and wait til I say Eh...which I do inevitably....What can I say....I'm Canadian through and through! -

HI!
Sorry I lost it there previously....wasn't really feeling myself this week at all. So our application is officially lost...not by Fedex or USCIS but by my fiance's work...they can't find the darn thing. Now we are stuck waiting until probably August 1st to try again on this. BUT....on a kind of decent news front...his boss and boss' boss want to hire me 
And they are aware that will mean a visa of some description for me to work. They need to talk to HR still so it's not for sure but we have fingers and toes crossed. I am still waiting for some information from my friend's mom (who works for an emmigration/immigration) lawyer but time will tell. We just have decided it's best to hold off on the K1 for now til the work thing is a definite no go....Thank you for the support, it is so greatly appreciated.

I am so sorry to hear that things are not going well
I wish there was an easy solution for you but I can't say I totally understand. I do know some guys aren't "phone people" but I think I would feel the same way you do....distance makes it difficult and I know myself, I am on the phone at least 2 or 3 times a day to my fiance. Sometimes he calls when I'm busy, sometimes I call when he's busy but we always call. Even if the day's been hectic and we only have 5 mins to talk, to us it's really important to at least call eachother and let one another know that we are thinking of eachother and love eachother.Again, sorry to hear about the problems but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you find the solution that is right for you.
HUGS!

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here's a whole new frustrating. Daniel was checking into our application yesterday (he's been away from the office thereby trusting that my application wa mailed as instructed) and low and behold they have no record of it being shipped and no application to be found anywhere. I am so disheartened by this.
We've decided that what we will do is wait a few days and see what his work has to say to see if there's a job offer and visa possibility there before sending our application again.I just want to cry.

Meauxna:
Thanks!
I will admit, some days, I'm a little slow off the hop and with the number of hours I have been working, my brain slows down about this time of day. As I mentioned before, Daniel's company deals with immigration a lot so I will probably be putting the ball somewhat in their court as well as checking with my friend's mom. It's silly to think that I may not qualify for a TN visa. Here I am trying to be a contributing member of society and no trouble to the government at all and I may hit walls anyways. Hey, if some people are right on here (won't find out until tomorrow if they are) my application may be lost for my K1 anyways so the government may not know that I am intending on immigrating How has life gotten so confusing? -
Just an additional side note. After looking around on the net for a long time this weekend....I am thinking it may not be too terribly difficult to get a work visa because I am Canadian so I may fall under the TN visa classification due to NAFTA. For now it's just wait and see if my fiance's company is really and truly interested but I am keeping my fingers, toes and eyes (okay, maybe not the eyes) crossed that we may get to be together sooner, without the stipulations of the K1 and that I will have employment soon.....
HUGS!

Okay guys...have a question....we have still not seen our NOA1 or a cheque cashed...should we be worried???
-
Thanks everyone for the replies. Really, it's very preliminary at this point and I'm just looking at options. His company has been looking a lot for a while and just aren't finding people to fill the positions and we aren't even 100% sure they would be interested in hiring me but thought the option may be a good one. His company works a lot with people from Japan and they are always going to the U.S. to work in affliation with the U.S. offices. The type of visa I think they would have to look at is the H2B visa due to my lack of college education. I'm not sure though. Really, it comes down to them having to do the leg work if they want to hire me. I have a friend whose mother works for a corporate immigration lawyer and he is going to send me some information. I just thought it might be a good option and also would prevent me from having to wait to get a job when I get there.....time will tell though.
Thanks again!

Just curious how fast employers can get a work visa in place. My fiance's company is desperate for people and now we are thinking of approaching them about hiring me....just wondering how fast they could get a visa in place as opposed to the K1 process....

Hey Gang!
So the euphoria is starting to wear off and the missing him is coming back but still smiling because it was a successful trip.
Now I'm curious....why would they put a class B2 (tourist visa?) stamp in my passport..... 
This whole immigration thing is such a mystery to me -
Hey All!!!
Just wanted to post some good news for a change
I just returned from a weekend in Indiana visiting my fiance!!!!! No problems at customs (was prepared with a letter from my employer, my return ticket and my lease for the condo). He asked me more questions than normal and wanted details of the last time I was in the U.S. but never asked me to prove ties to Canada Coming back here was easier than usual....questions were "Who did you go to see?" "My fiance" "Did you cry when he proposed?" "No, it was kind of an expected proposal." Then he handed my passport back and I looked at him funny and asked if we were done and, yep, that was it! WOO HOO!!! Only thing that got me wondering was that when they stamped my passport going into the U.S., there's a line for class and when they never usually fill anything out, they put B2 on mine. Dont know what it means but they still let me visit!!!!! Feeling great, had my fix for a bit. I can't wait for the future!!!!
Good luck to all!!!!!

Hey Gang!
Just wanted to post a song that makes me smile everytime I hear it. It reminds me of what it feels like to be on my way to see my fiance or when he's coming to see me....it's what I imagine I will feel like when I'm on my way home to be with my Honey:
You're Like Comin' Home Lonestar lyrics
Artist: Lonestar
Album: Coming Home
Year: 2005
Title: You're Like Comin' Home Print
Correct
Riding restless under a broken sky
A weary traveler something missing inside
Always looking, for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind
Just a little piece of what i left behind
Well I’ve found it now
You’re like comin’ home
You’re like a Sunday morning
Pleasing my eyes
You’re a midsummer’s dream
Under a star soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin’
At the end of a long long road
You’re like comin’ home
You’re like comin’ home
Go ahead and let your hair fall down
This wanderlust, it’s gone now
Here in your arms I’m safe from the world again
These are the days they can’t be erased
Baby there isn’t a better place
You’re like heaven
You’re like comin’ home
You’re like a Sunday morning
Pleasing my eyes
You’re a midsummer’s dream
Under a star soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin’
At the end of a long long road
You’re like comin’ home
You’re like comin’ home
You’re that innocence
That serenity
That long lost part of me
Repeat Chorus

Thank you!!! Now I just have to wait for a receipt number so I can track it
-
May sound like a dumb question but how do you sign up to check your case status online? I was under the impression that we needed to receive our NOA1 first. I believe that Daniel included his email address on the application somewhere
I know it's going to be hard for him to be checking very often since he is travelling so much for work but he has been very diligent with checking to see if they've cashed our cheque. just keeping my fingers crossed for now. And I (hopefully, as long as they are nice at customs) get to see him this weekend 
I have a letter from my employer, a return ticket and my lease all ready to go so it should be good I hope! -
It has been absolutely wonderful how much both his friends and family care, but at the same time, it makes it all the more difficult to be patient and wait through the process. They have made it feel like I am at home there, making it seem more and more everyday that this is no longer where I belong. I find it distracts me at work, knowing that I will be leaving here in 5 months or so (if all goes as planned) and I just long for the sense of being home. I love him with all my heart and he is my life. We are pretty lucky because we do see eachother at least once a month (sometimes more). It's odd because I read people's posts and listen to my friends and family talk about how much I will miss my life here. As much as I will miss everyone, I know in my heart where my home is. I guess it just comes back to the fact that good things come to those who wait. Thank you for the support =)

Hi everyone!
I can't believe the luck I've had with finding VJ. Everyone here is so supportive and helpful. It's great to read the stories and see people banding together through this weird and frustrating situation.
From any of my previous posts, most of you will notice that I'm normally very positive and I really do normally see the light at the end of the tunnel being that my Honey and I will be together forever. I just had a bit of a meltdown this weekend. My Honey is absolutely wonderful and his friends equally so. They have been so supportive of him through this whole process and make me feel so welcome that I am actually excited about moving and have no fear about leaving the place and people I've known all my life. His best friend's wife is even inviting me to come to concerts with her (and knowing that Daniel will be out of town).
And all his work friends have decided that they want to have a party for me the next time I visit Chicago so they can meet me and make me feel at home. This is all incredible to me but it has kind of caused a reaction I didn't expect. On Saturday night, I had my first meltdown of this process. The best way I can explain is this. I am now calling Chicago home. And Saturday night, all I wanted to do was go home. I feel totally out of place here in Canada and feel like my life is no longer here. It's just where I'm staying for the time being. What an odd feeling to have! I have never been homesick before so this is a whole new feeling to me. I don't really have a question for you guys, I know this is all worth it and can't wait to be on the plane (hopefully I won't have trouble with customs) on Friday to go see my Love but it's just hard because I don't feel at home here anymore. I just needed a few minutes to vent I guess, with people who understand what it's like to be in this situation. Thanks for listening and I hope everyone's journey is going well.

Hey Guys....
My fiance sent our application on 06/19 via Fedex next day and they still haven't cashed our cheque yet. Granted, we are at NSC for now (until they decide to forward us to CSC).....
Hopefully we will all be touched and cashed soon.
-
If you are financing (as opposed to leasing) a vehicle, the ownership should be in your name....mine is.
-
Our application was sent Fedex next day last Monday with the new forms...unfortunately, we had to send ours to Nebraska....which probably means that we are just going to be transfered to CSC. :S Oh well...beyond my control. Other downfall is that my fiance travels a lot for work so we may not know from day to day where our application is in the process....just hoping that we get lucky and sail through the system with ease....lol...I'm eternally optimistic btw
-
I have another....my fiance had never had Swedish Berries before he met me....taking lots of those with me when I move....
-
I just checked it today and they are still listing it as a visa they process. That's where we sent our application....TSC doesn't list I129-F at all and VSC is saying March 6....if this is accurate, I really really hope we are staying at NSC.....
now I'm so bloody confused!!!!! Worst part is my fiance is away for this whole week and won't be back until Saturday so I won't know if our cheque was cashed until at least Saturday. He travels regularly for work so us being up-to-date with the status of our case may be interesting.....

That's awesome! I filed online and figure I'll be waiting well into next year before my interview.
