Ok i filed my I751 for me and my 9 year old son. Paid biometric fees for the both of us. I got a letter for me stating that the paperwork was received and one for him. Now I got an appointment letter for my biometrics. But not yet for my son. Does he not have to take it again. or can it come in later. I tried calling. Only got some stupid computer telling me my status and that customer service wouldn't be able to tell me more. Where am I suposed to find out then if he needs to go too. I don't feel like flying Honolulu twice. it is not cheap and we don't have really an option of driving to the office. kind of a long swim ;-)

we schreven in het engels omdat sommige van onze SOs hier ook mee lazen en reageerde en zij alleen engels spreken.

I should be on your neighbor rock in about 3-4 months I think, so I might drop by some time ^^

And i will probably hop to your rock from time to time as well. Think i will get some jewelry partys to do there. And ofcourse when i need my shopping fix ;-)

Hey peeps!

Just wanted to check in again and say HI to everyone.

I really start missing hanging out with Dutch speaking people. Ofcourse I talk to my family on the phone at least once a week, but I just really miss actually hanging out with people that speak Dutch.

Did anyone else feel like this after they lived in the States for a while?

I tried to find people here in Florida but that didn't really work out well. There were some really really old people (in their 70's) that I found that live about 2 hrs from Panama City. But that is not what I was looking for.

I talked about it with my husband and we would like it a lot if there were Dutch-American couples that would like to hang out at the Gulf of mexico for vacation and maybe visit us for a little bit. You are welcome to stay with us instead of staying at a hotel. PM me if you want. I am not working yet, so I have a lot of free time on my hands.

i also miss to speak dutch. Sometimes I get lucky and get a Dutch tourist in the store and I can talk story for a bit, but yeah not much Dutchies on Maui

Are you sighing because of the summer break coming up or because it still takes a couple of weeks before it's there? lol

Unfortunately we don't have a next visit planned.. we would love to be together atm but the tickets are getting too expensive atm, we rather save the money instead at the moment. I think the first time we will see each other again will be in october or maybe even november... it kinda depends when I get the visa and when my sister delivers her baby (she got pregnant and her due date is somewhere at the ending of october so maybe I will wait with going until I saw her baby).

Hope everything with the visa will go smoothly for you guys.

Ah thats cool.. I was like reading the news about the vog and was like 'oh my, I hope I wont get breathing troubles' lol... Michelle didn't feel so well because of the heat that came along with it.

Yeah been reading about you setting up your own business, that's pretty cool! I hope it will all work out nicely for you

How's the hub and son doing anyways?

they are doing good. Almost summer break a few more weeks. -sigh-

do you guys have a next visit planned?

Just preparing myself ahead of time... How did you guys move your stuff to the US? Did you employ a movers to do the same? Or ship it to your addy in the states? If so could anyone recommend how to go about the same?

Cheers.

I only took some personal items and stuff for my son, so I shipped everything by tpg. I sended it by sea mail. Took forever and except for 1 box everything came the way I had sent it. If you only going to sent small stuff do it by tpg and if you have the money I would do it by air mail.

Hi Jeroen, good to see you here as well ;-)

Good to see some new faces on here, it has been quiet for a while.

Hi Jacky.. that has been a while since i last talked to you, didn't know you were also registered here.

How's things lately? Did you also have probs on your rock with that nasty vog coming from Kilauea last week? Even tho you're a bit more downwind, I don't know for sure if you had it there also.

Yeah we have the vog here as well, but it doesn't really bother me.

I have been kind of busy with building my busyness and work. O yeah and hubby and kid ;-)

Hi Jeroen, good to see you here as well ;-)

Good to see some new faces on here, it has been quiet for a while.

Nah I am not even close. I am in Hawaii. Not to many dutchies here. specially not on Maui.

gratz on the EAD hopefully your AOS get aproved soon too.

aloha mark,

great hearing from you. Good to hear you guys are doing great.

I miss you on msn.

welcome in our little corner.

most of us are in the us already and some of us have our greencards already. It has been kind of quiet lately.

Let me know if your insurance pays for the vaccins.

hi marieke; i don't remember how much it was. Your vaccination record will help, that will proof that you don't need to many vaccins. You need to go to a special doctor in a'dam whom is assigned by the consulate and insurance doesn't cover that as far as I know.

My new job is great. But i am real tired in the evening. Not used to working full-time. But I totaly love it.

Nathan and I got our greencards in the mail today :-)

with the I-134 you file for the k-1 visa she doesn't have to prove yet that she makes 125% of the poverty thing. But it will all say in the papers.

That part comes after marriage when you file for AOS. Then it will be $17,112 a year that she has to make. And after you get married and she doesn't make the requirements then you can take a co sponsor.

welcome to our little corner.

For the k-1 visa, I remember that my So didnt have to make the 125% yet. it is btw different per state and it is per month. She needs to make 125% after you are married and you file for AOS in the states.

My hubby didnt make the 125% the past 3 years but last week with proof of his new job and his new income it was enough.
