...It's on the instructions to the I-129F what address to put...

The time I want depends on either how hungry I am or how much I'm ready to go out or what's about to come on the telly Oh no sometimes

omgoodness what are you even worried about? If that's you in the picture there's no way you're even close to being overweight. I'd say if anything you need to eat! Plus you're young so who cares about heart health etc...let's start worrying about that when we hit 40 or something

I did this cool little scale thing last Christmas in Edinburgh, that measured weight and heartrate and blood pressure and all sort sof things I'd never seen here in the US before (I mean seen on a machine in a store). So I'm 5'7 and about 132, did the test and it came back with low to normal good numbers on everything and then it said something like I was 43% fat

I freaked out for a couple minutes then threw it away. There's no way in hell. I wouldn't worry about it

If you mean you received an RFE and sent them the information they requested, then it depends.

I don't think your case is put to the back of the line again. I've seen on people's timelines movement or 'touches' again after only one or two days of receiving the information from an RFE.

But really I think should just keep in mind the unpredictability of the entire process. RFEs or none, it can take anywhere from one month to several (over 6 for lots of people) to get the NOA2. There's way too many factors to be able to say, so your RFE probably won't make that much of a difference.

You can always get another RFE down the road, too.

Just remember to be patient. If you've just now sent out your Petition, expecting your NOA2 in about 3 months I think is about average, maybe faster for Vermont. But it can take as long as they want it to

shower sleepy time

I will actually get on chat one of these days. I feel so stupid. I technically don't ever 'have time' but end up spending hours on the forums so geez that's lame

Work at 8:30 though and still a thingie to write tonight so nooos aaaah need chocolate poptarts all out DEATH.

I don't really want money...

...I just want everything to already be paid for.

Like it was a few years ago!

This is just really SAD

Is being schizo always bad? I mean...are there not schizo voices that are just really enthusiastic and happy and supportive all the time?

I'd rather be schizo than have a cat anyway.

But I ain't got no skillz!

I think we should ALL go into the medical field, geez. I think they're pretty much set, it's crazy. I completely forgot about all the aging baby boomers when I was deciding that no I didn't want to be a doctor or a nurse and completely missing the fact that there's hundreds of other positions in medical, I'm so stupid

My sister's husband's mother just moved back here to SC from Washington state a few months ago. Whatever she is...she like...runs some kind of heart machine tester thing or something, I don't know - but she knows how to work this machine in the hospital, didn't go to college or anything, it was all on the job training however many years ago. Anyway, so she was just here visiting a few months ago and went by the hospitals she used to work at to say hi. Both hospitals are desperate for her to move back and re-interview her on the spot. They end up competing with each other til in the end I think she got like...an $85,000 salary plus all movin expenses paid plus big signing bonus out of it

Not. Fair. Dang it

Yeh I know I've been telling him for years to get off his lazy butt and get a job! He's so spoiled But to be honest he's tried a few different times and just never any luck, though I think maybe he's just a bit helpless like that...

We're not planning the move until close to the end of the year, so I'm hoping he'll find some sort of employment this summer. His friends who all graduated last year actually found work pretty quickly in Edinburgh, even the ones that didn't actually graduate but dropped out because of World of Warcraft addictions

Don't speak spanish I was a complete noob in HS and college and took french instead, thought there was a good possibility I'd live in Europe and I might be interested in international business, so it made sense at the time.

Want to learn though. But my experience with languages is that you can learn the basics and it'll kind of sit in your brain waiting to be activated, but really you're not gonna be 'fluent' in another language unless you're forced to use it on an almost daily basis. Like I think I know French pretty well, but I'd have to get thrown into french-speaking situations for a couple weeks before it all started coming back to me.

My daddy still pronounced fajita 'fuh gee tuh' so I'm doing better than him

I don't know anything about NY. I guess in a big city there'd hopefully always be jobs and a short turnover time for kids that won't work, that sort of thing, so hopefully he'll be able to slip in quickly enough.

I'd tell any of you to do like the rest of the country is doing and move down here down south, if you don't have strong ties up there Every other person on the planet is already here so ought as well Meant to be a lot cheaper cost of living. Maybe it balances out though because no public transportation and smaller paychecks? I don't know. I've really heard both ways.

I'm worried about the economy in general for the both of us We're both gonna be fresh newly grads and feel pretty pathetic and vulnerable about that. I worry about Iain more though because he's never had a job before and I think that's gonna look kind of bad, but he's got a computer science degree so I'm just hoping that's a really big field with lots of openings. Whereas I'm an english degree, so even if he takes ages to find a job, I imagine he'll automatically be getting like 900 times more salary than I will so it'll work out

Bet people will watch it and it'll be successful

I kept hoping all the reality TV stuff would die out. But no. I just don't even watch TV anymore.

It's crossed my mind

But really I don't think the regular adjudicators are here (I learned that word when I got on these forums, so proud of it. Spell it right and everything ). I hope they do get to screw around some though, geez...I mean it just sounds like rows of open desks, doesn't it? They don't really need a computer if all they do is go through these files everyday. I reckon most people at work sneak on the net for an hour or so cumulative a day. I hope they get their fair slack-off chance and doubt they'd use that up here

But you know I bet there are some sort of security guys that just periodically check all sites like this. Stuff like the example forms and templates for letters of intent and all that make the most nervous. Seems like "cheat sheets" and kind of scammy, how to get in the US quick and easy and know what they're looking for. So yeh, I bet they do keep their eyes a bit open.

The original list is actually mostly sweet and made me smile Most of it's true, I don't care, it'd be nice if some of this advice was still given

Jack and Barbara's just pisses me off though I just for myself SHOULD remember to shut up if hubby gets home after me though, god, I never ever do shut up. Poor guy.

I think I even heard once that you can drink TOO much.

Which I probably do, geez. I probably do drink eight big glasses of water a day, plus eat a lot of foods that you add water to like oatmeal and grits, and lots of veggies that have bunches of water. And then my morning coffee, and then usually have a cuppa tea in the evening, sometimes a whole damn pot which is like four cups or something.

I've been thinking about trying to switch more to tea because of the health benefits, but I need to get the decaf kind. I get caf headaches and it's the caffeine that makes you go pee so much, I got that problem too, it's crazy

I think when I move back in with my mom and have a big fridge again I'm gonna just make big pitches of green tea to fridgerate. Seems like it'd be yummy cold, too. Maybe some honey in it. Mmms.

Wow!

I feel inadequate, why'd I take french

Curry is friggin awesome!

college

always having to work the nights a week that anything remotely cool or interesting is going on

countin' calories and not having the time to go play and exercise

Really I have nothing to complain about, compared to most people

Hi sonu

I don't really know the details about this, but from what I've heard I think the blue sheet is good, is the one you want to get. There's another one, the pink sheet, which might mean they need more evidence or more processing time or something like that?

As far as I know, you're all set They almost always need some time to process it, I think very few people actually have their visas handed to them at the interview.

It should come in the mail so just sit tight. I'd say give it a month before calling anyone to inquire.

Ooooh tattoos.

You both look very tall

Thank you for your service I wonder how many vets we actually have here, and what all the countries will be?

I caught a bit of this on the news.

They said she lives with family (so apparently the family's a bunch of bastards too) AND the girl/woman complained something like she wasn't getting enough "help" from the government to take care of the poor child.

Because automatic WICK til you're like 5 plus food stamps plus probably a bunch of other stuff I don't know about, clearly she was deprived of being able to buy even the cheapest FOODS for her ten pound seven-year-old I just want to know how they even begin to justify it.

There's no green barfing smiley

Sounds like a good idea to me

Guys

I know this topic's in a totally random place but since it's here...

Why does everyone send in their tax info? I've been trying to figure out if I should send in mine/my mom's or not. The USCIS instructions say to only send it in if you're "self-employed" which we're not, but it seems like everyone does send it in.

I know NOTHING about taxes so I feel really ####### trying to tell my mom what we need ...What's a W2?

Up until about a month ago I thought this whole K1 process or any of these immigration channels, I guess, were inevitably going to end up in citizenship We dived right into this one totally ignorant

But really I was shocked that they don't MAKE you get citizenship after a certain number of years. I heard years ago (maybe it's not true though) that if you live in the UK for 6 years, by that time they make you become a citizen...which really seems fair enough to me, I guess. I'm just surprised the US lets this many people "in" without having to become citizens.

Though it really doesn't matter at all I guess. I also used to think that you didn't have to pay US taxes until you were a citizen, so my UK fiance would have had to keep paying the UK taxes while he got his greencard. Guess as long as the US is getting their tax money they don't care if you're a citizen or not
