congrats!

Ohhh thanks so much everyone for the helpful pointers....

And yes we'll be driving....I have to pick up the rest of my things that couldn't fit in the car the first time around....hope they won't tax me for all my old belongings....

And yes, I've always told the truth...one time they asked me how much I spent on items in the U.S and I said about 50 bucks...they asked on what and I said Victoria Secret under wear! The Custom's guy's face turned red...he he he

ohhhh NC...that's where my brother in law got married...Charlotte...that is totally a college crowd there!

Nope...no NeoCitran here where I am....

Can't wait for our trip up home....stock up time! he hehe <insert evil laugh>

In addition to the 'EH' comment people have also asked me regarding the word 'ABOUT'...they say that Canadians say it differently....pfffft

oh yay!

Thanks for the answers!

Time to dig out my warm clothes for the trip up north!

Sigh....just shows to me how important social funding is to help organizations help other people....the man sounds like breaking up with his fiance was the straw that broke the camel's back....

I hate to say it but I'd rather here news about a disgruntled worker doing mischief (no bombs, just being an inconvenience) than having all the scary stuff that happens here in Florida like innocent people getting shot.....re: car theft got chased into a Walmart and then blatently shot at the police in the store while people were walking around....hit a pregnant woman but she's ok....

Glad and happy to hear from you both....

When I first started on the VJ board, you both were truly an inspiration with all the hurdles you have gone through...even to this day you are positive and full of love and support!

Much kudos to you both!!!

Sending you love and support..........

So in a couple of weeks we are finally going back home to visit! I am soooo excited as I have not seen my parents and friends since our wedding in May!

From what I understand, when I go through the CDN border I can just show my CDN passport....and when returning back into the U.S. just show my U.S resident's card right?

A couple of other questions come to mind....

When I enter Canada, can I use the $750 tax free limit on goods? My parents want me to get a few items that would be worth around $150.....

Do I tell them that I am a U.S. resident?

When I return to the U.S., I have the $800 tax free limit on goods right? Must stock up on Canadian goodies!

Any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated!

In any relationship it's a 2 way street.....you can't be the only one doing all those things mentioned.....the other half has to contribute to it as well....

My favorite analogy that I always use for a relationship is

A relationship is like an engine in a car...

You have to maintain it, check the oil, change the oil....

When I first heard that analogy a long time ago, it made so much sense to me....but then again it may not make sense to others...I could just be having a case of the Friday babbles...

I'm looking at starting something too and LLC is the way we're going....

great pictures! Congrats!

looks like it was lots of fun!

I can see where everyone is coming from about marriage/relationships.

For my husband and I, we were friends since 1999 so we had spent vacations together with other friends/family and I also stayed for 3 months prior to us getting married to see how things would fare....

I do believe that there can be more than one match out there for people...after all that's why people have ex girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives. I see it more as what you're willing to put up with. It may sound corny but I've found that if something really meshes such as two people in a relationship then it's really effortless. Things happen naturally. My husband and I haven't had a big fight yet.....we have had a little spat here and there but nothing that's not solved with a big hug or a little humor added.

I know if anything were wrong in our marriage that would make me doubt things, I would definitely looking into a Marriage Counsellor/Therapy. We had a talk about this before we got married and both agreed that we would try our best and all means to make things work.

good luck to all the fellow May filers and God's speed!

Didn't have any issues using my passport and U.S mailing address along with FL driver's license. But could be different though since there are many snow birds down here in Florida.....

as many have said already...go the K1 route and wait it out if you can...true love can stand the test of time

It will all be worth it trust us! there will be less head ache and heart ache down the road.

Good luck to you both!

P.S. My fiance USC came to visit me after we had filed the K1 and I had also gone down to visit a few times as well. I was honest and told them we filed for the K1 Visa and they did not ask for my ties to Canada (although I always carried all the paperwork with me just in case).

We sent in $1010 for AOS, EAP and AP.................hope your issue gets resolved soon!

better to file sooner than later....although the most important thing is that you both got married to one another within the 90 days of the K1 expiring...

Keeping in mind the sooner you file for AOS the sooner you get the Green Card and then the sooner you can life conditions! =)

congratulations! =)

You'll need to use your Case # to register it to your portfolio.....it's typically on your NOAs.

Then let the madness begin! I use to go on at least once a day and check the status. =)

there have been people who didn't file the AOS right away after marriage...the key thing is getting married during the 90 days upon entry with the K1....of course as everyone states, better to get it done sooner than later though...

Good Luck!

Custom house all the way...no problems and reliable!

it should be coming along anytime now....again it could be the local office?

congrats!

Ohhh Grower's! That stuff is nice.....chilled real cold....YUM!
