Bill and Hayley

Hi all, my daughter is spending 10 weeks with me in the usa....and wants to talk to her boyfriend every night on the phone, i get her phone cards for her to call him but he wants to share the expense...so my question is do anyone know of any good calling cards he can use to call here....thanks

yes i had my medical the day before the interview with no problems. I had booked the medical already , then waited for an interview date...then rang the medical place and canceled my appointment..told them i couldnt make it that day...then asked if i could have one the day before my interview date.

Thanks Julez Yea i know its been a while, hope everythings good with you. Ive just been adjusting to life here in the US of A.

I dont know if anyone else feel like this but im glad the christmas period is nearly over, my emotions are like a roller coaster at this time of year, i miss my family back in the uk so much. But this year i only have 2 weeks to wait, then i have my 18 year old daughter coming over for 10 weeks to stay with me, will be the first time shes travelled alone, so will be a big step for her....im so excited.

Hi....My wife is on her 2 year green card....her 18 year old daughter stayed behind to live with her older sister....now she is having problems with her..and may want to come here and live...what does it entail to accomplish this?....She may come in January for three months....just wondering what we would have to do....thanx ever so much for your help...Bill

thankyou narocks.

Thanks for the info, she will have to have a medical and interveiw right, roughly all the same stuff i had to do?

I came to the usa on a K1 visa last june, got my green card in october 07, my 17 year old, (18 this year daughter) who i did include on my K1 didnt want to join me at the time, but is now thinking about coming here to live in the near future, since her year to follow on my K1 is up what would we need to do for this to happen. Also she would want to spend some time back in the uk as she would miss our family and her long term boyfriend. Is it ok to go back and forth after getting her green card? thanks for any help.

thanx for all the help guys, ill be looking into that last website, on my first visit here 2 years ago shoprite had an english section but not anymore we have a world market, where i can get heinz tom soup and baked beans, but no mushy peas.Will also ask hubby is we are close enough to a wegmans. My homemade mushy peas were not so good..lol.

I only started to miss things about a month ago, well apart from quorn sausages but ive found a good veggie sausage now. But nothing can replace lucozade or hulu hoops( i do have 4 packets for xmas put away..yayyy), think im gonna have a go at making mushy peas myself, cant be too hard. Sorry for making you remember of how lush lucozade is

Thankyou that would be great!

is some lucozade, mushy peas and hulu hoops.... I live in delaware and cant find these anywhere, we have an english tearoom that sells plain walkers crisps and a few other items but thats it, is there anyone from around here that knows of a place where i can find at least one of these items..OR whats the cheapest online site to buy english foods from. please help.thanx

we sent my kids their pressies on saturday, 43lb in weight and $180 , it better get there in time. most stuff i send back takes about 10-12 days.

Is this the cheapest place to order online from? cant find hardly any english stuff where i live..and omg they have lucozade.

thanx all for your replies. So if in the future we ever want to move to the uk would Hayley have to prove she could support me like i did for her visa?

My wife is English, and just got her greencard. I was just wondering being that we are now married, is it possible for me to get uk citizenship, and how would i go about doing it. Thanks, Bill.

ive been veggie since i was 17(20 years ago) but even as i kid i wouldnt eat lamb, i used to tell my dad(who was a butcher at the time) im not eating baby lambs, i want to save their lives, and he used to laugh at me sayin they are already dead Hayley. One day when i was about 13 he served me what i thought was a lamb chop, and i said this taste funny, all the way thru dinner he kept laughing at me, then afterwards told me i had just eaten a lamb chop. I ran to the bathroom and threw up, never trusted him with pork chops again after that.

I had my teeth cleaned for the first time since ive been in the US, all i can say is wow, i was in the chair about an hr, and my teeth are the cleanest they have been since i was about 10, uk dentisty sucks compared to here. And man dont it cost a bloody fortune to send parcels to the uk, gonna have to take a loan out to send all the presents back to my kids.

Thanks all, really wanted to celebrate last night but since we both started diets monday we couldnt think of a way to do so without it involving loads of calories.

got my green card in the post today..thanx to all on the uk forum who helped me out thru all this, couldnt have done it without your guidance. good luck to all of you now starting out, hang in there its worth it in the end. Hayley

...wow, and sometimes things go quickly! We were really amazed to come home yesterday to a green card in the mail. We received an email on wednesday 10/17 that the green card was in production....one week later (yesterday) the greencard was in our mail box.

Congrats....i just got my greencard today, yayyyy but omg my photo on it makes me look dead..

Had our interview on Friday 10/05/2007 in Philadelphia...had to wait about 45 minutes til we got in there..once we got in..it was easy and painless...took about 15 minutes...then we were told we were approved!...not stuck in FBI name check..told the green card would be coming in 2 weeks (not holding out any hope on that one...LOL)...Thanx to everyone with their help!

Just a quick question..we are going to our interview next Friday...we have all of our evidence...and documents needed...the only problem is that we did not make copies of our AOS application..is it absolutely necessary to have it?...the instructions say to bring any copies of documents submitted with your application..we did not make a copy of the AOS package

thankyou for your help, much appreciated..

sorry for not explaining myself properly, i mean can i travel between having the interview and recieving the green card...why i ask is i have my interview soon but want to travel just after, but might get stuck in FBI name check so might not get green card straight away. I also heard they no longer stamp your passport at the interview?
