Goodluck Genghizkhan! I'm praying that you will receive your greencard very soon.

Hi Sweetdreams

Thanks for your reply.

I am glad that you were sort out the issue.

In my case I think they never sent it since I did not move anywhere and all other mails get delivered fine.Also I did not get the Card Production Ordered emails or Welcome to America letter. I have scheduled an appointment with the local office this Friday to ask them about my case. Seems like they should be able to help me.But i am not going to pay for their problems.

If the local won't reply me properly maybe thats what I will do too. Just file I-90b and ask them to send it. It almost seems like they deliberately send it by cheap mail so that they can get more money. When they collect so much fees for every single thing they should at least have the brain and decency to send it safely by certified email. Shows you how much they really care.

I will report back here after my Friday appointment.

Thanks again.

I've been in your situation before, I got approved on Oct. 08, 2008 and they started to sent it on Oct. 14, 2008 to the other state where we've never been in our whole life. I never stopped calling 1-800-xxx-xxxx but they can't helped, everytime that I call them I gave them my address and they repeated it to me and they always promised me that they will send it to the right address that I gave. But still they continue sending it to the wrong states for seven times. I google the address of the post office which is close to the states where they sent the greencard and I called the postman and I confirmed from him that he saw that mail and since there were no order where he will turn over it, he returned it to the the post office and he promised me that the next time he will encounter it he will send it to me. But still I make another moved I wrote to the local office where I got approved and we also filed I-90 My authorized card was never received , means you dont have to pay the amount $370 because it wasn't your fault but they wrote me back that they can't process my request because I have to pay that amount. I never replied, I just waited again for another week and finally on Feb. 23, 2009 I received my greencard.

I just watched Breaking News 30 minutes ago. It is confirmed that Michael Jackson passed away and also 'Charlie's Angel' Farrah Fawcett dies at 62.

LOS ANGELES – A winsome smile, tousled hair and unfettered sensuality were Farrah Fawcett's trademarks as a sex symbol and 1970s TV star in "Charlie's Angels."

But as her life drew to a close, she captivated the public in a far different way: as a cancer patient who fought for, then surrendered, her treasured privacy to document her struggle with the disease and inspire others.

Fawcett, 62, died Thursday morning at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, nearly three years after being diagnosed with ####### cancer. Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion who returned to her side when she became ill, was with her.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

In the end, Fawcett sought to offer more than that, re-emerging in the spotlight with a new gravitas.

In "Farrah's Story," which aired last month, she made public her painful treatments and dispiriting setbacks — from shaving her golden locks before chemotherapy could claim them to undergoing experimental treatments in Germany.

"Her big message to people is don't give up. No matter what they say to you, keep fighting," Alana Stewart, who filmed Fawcett as she underwent treatment, said last month. NBC estimated the May 15, 2009, broadcast drew nearly 9 million viewers.

In the documentary, she also recounted her efforts to unmask the source of leaks from her UCLA Medical Center records, which led a hospital employee to plead guilty to violating a federal privacy law for selling celebrities' information to the National Enquirer.

"There are no words to express the deep sense of loss that I feel," Stewart said Thursday. "For 30 years, Farrah was much more than a friend. She was my sister, and although I will miss her terribly, I know in my heart that she will always be there as that angel on the shoulder of everyone who loved her."

Other "Charlie's Angels" stars also paid tribute.

"Farrah had courage, she had strength, and she had faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real angels," Jaclyn Smith said.

Said Cheryl Ladd: "She was incredibly brave, and God will be welcoming her with open arms."

Kate Jackson said she would remember Fawcett's "kindness, her cutting, dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile. Today when you think of Farrah remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered, smiling."

Fawcett became a sensation in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in "Charlie's Angels." A poster of her in a clingy, red swimsuit sold in the millions and her full, layered hairstyle became all the rage, with girls and women across America mimicking the look.

She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with "Somebody Killed Her Husband." She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in "The Burning Bed."

Born Feb. 2, 1947, in Corpus Christi, Texas, she was named Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett by her mother, who said she added the Farrah because it sounded good with Fawcett. As a student at the University of Texas at Austin, she was voted one of the 10 most beautiful people on the campus and her photos were eventually spotted by movie publicist David Mirisch, who suggested she pursue a film career.

She appeared in a string of commercials, including one where she shaved quarterback Joe Namath, and in such TV shows as "That Girl," "The Flying Nun," "I Dream of Jeannie" and "The Partridge Family."

She was diagnosed with ####### cancer in 2006. According to the American Cancer Society Web site, an estimated 5,290 Americans, most of them adults over 35, will be diagnosed with that type of cancer this year, and there will be 710 deaths.

As she underwent treatment, she enlisted the help of O'Neal, who was the father of her now 24-year-old son, Redmond.

This month, O'Neal said he asked Fawcett to marry him and she agreed. They would wed "as soon as she can say yes," he said, but it never happened.

Fawcett, Jackson and Smith made up the original "Angels," the sexy, police-trained trio of martial arts experts who took their assignments from a rich, mysterious boss named Charlie (John Forsythe, who was never seen on camera but whose distinctive voice was heard on speaker phone.)

The program debuted in September 1976, the height of what some critics derisively referred to as television's "jiggle show" era, and it gave each of the actresses ample opportunity to show off their figures as they disguised themselves as hookers and strippers to solve crimes.

Backed by a clever publicity campaign, Fawcett — then billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors because of her marriage to "The Six Million Dollar Man" star Lee Majors — quickly became the most popular Angel of all.

Her face helped sell T-shirts, lunch boxes, shampoo, wigs and even a novelty plumbing device called Farrah's faucet. Her flowing blond hair, pearly white smile and trim, shapely body made her a favorite with male viewers in particular.

The public and the show's producer, Spelling-Goldberg, were shocked when she announced after the series' first season that she was leaving television's No. 5-rated series to star in feature films. (Ladd became the new "Angel" on the series.)

But film turned out to be a platform where Fawcett was never able to duplicate her TV success. Her first star vehicle, the comedy-mystery "Somebody Killed Her Husband," flopped and Hollywood cynics cracked that it should have been titled "Somebody Killed Her Career."

The actress had also been in line to star in "Foul Play" for Columbia Pictures. But the studio opted for Goldie Hawn instead. Fawcett told the Associated Press in 1979 that Spelling-Goldberg sabotaged her, warning "all the studios that that they would be sued for damages if they employed me."

She finally reached an agreement to appear in three episodes of "Charlie's Angels" a season, an experience she called "painful."

After a short string of unsuccessful movies, Fawcett found critical success in the 1984 television movie "The Burning Bed," which earned her an Emmy nomination.

As further proof of her acting credentials, Fawcett appeared off-Broadway in "Extremities," playing a woman who seeks revenge against her attacker after being raped in her own home. She repeated the role in the 1986 film version.

Not content to continue playing victims, she switched type to take on roles as a murderous mother in the 1989 true-crime story "Small Sacrifices" and a tough lawyer on the trail of a thief in 1992's "Criminal Behavior."

She also starred in biographies of Nazi-hunter Beate Klarsfeld and photographer Margaret Bourke-White.

In 1995, at age 50, Fawcett stirred controversy posing partly nude for Playboy magazine. The following year, she starred in a Playboy video, "All of Me," in which she was equally unclothed while she sculpted and painted.

Fawcett's most unfortunate career moment may have been a 1997 appearance on David Letterman's show, when her disjointed, rambling answers led many to speculate that she was on drugs. She denied that, blaming her strange behavior on questionable advice from her mother to be playful and have a good time.

In September 2006, Fawcett, who at 59 still maintained a strict regimen of tennis and paddleball, began to feel strangely exhausted. She underwent two weeks of tests that revealed the cancer.

"I do not want to die of this disease. So I say to God, `It is seriously time for a miracle,'" she said in "Farrah's Story."

thanks, Marilyn....I don't know how to attached video or youtube

I'm sorry, I'm trying to share youtube,....but it didn't show

Her laugh is very contagious

Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'

In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT and believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.

But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT

But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and losing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.

Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not'

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cheery laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha . . ..'

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!

About your jobs.

About your friends.

About your children.

About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? 'They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!'

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class --because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The main message???

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are, you are first class!

Hi r_29,

I am sorry to hear that. I know how difficult and painful what you are experiencing now because I've been there before but I'm so thankful that I got over it. I also came here as K1 visa, less than a month of my arrival we got married and 2 months after I found out that my fiance(my husband) still flirting with those old chatmates and one of them was his first Filipina ex-gf despite they know that he is already married (that is one thing I dont understand with some Filipina). But before I go further I will share a story about this first Filipina why my husband didn't marry her. They first met thru internet and after a year that they've been chatting and became bf-gf, my husband decided to meet her and marry her but when he came to the Philippines he found this Filipina wasn't there, she's in Japan married with a Japanese and they had 2 kids. So, my husband went back home with brokenhearted but the communication still continue as a friend and he never gave up to find a Filipina wife. It is fine with me that they are friends but this Filipina trying to win him back, she's trying to separate us and telling to my husband that I am not the right girl for him because it seems that I am socialite people and materialistic and she also add that someday he will see the real me, that I hate his daughter and my mother-in-law. I caught my husband many times and I told him that he shouldn't do that because it shows disrespect, he will stop for a while and sometimes he hid it when he knows that I'm coming. Maybe a guy who gave a comment here is right, chatting is addicted and my husband wasn't get over it. And that time I can't stop to have regret and if I just found it before I will not marry him but its too late. So I talked to my husband heart to heart and explain to him everything. And now, he stopped chatting and I also put those girls to his block lists. And its funny this Filipina is using different name but sorry for her because I am a good detective. Now, our relationship is going smooth and he loves me more same as his daughter and I'm so lucky that my in-laws are very kind to me.

The best thing you have to do now is show to your Fiance how much you care and love him and talk to him about what you found and also have faith in GOD, Prayer is powerful. God Bless You.

Thank you all VJ'ers for the advice and sharing the experienced of your behalf. B)

On my first time, I felt pressured because my husband wants me to pass it 100% and I wasn't really comfortable to take an exam that time. When we got to DMV, I couldn't explain what I feel, and when I sit there, and saw the time limit I was started to hear the drummer in my chest and then a guy who was sitting beside me adds to my nervous because he read loud and when he didn't know the answer he will say "sucks". And I couldn't think right.

Last night, I told my husband that I wasn't ready yet to fail again in exam and he started to get grouchy and asking when will I be ready.

Anywho, this morning I got up early and lazy to move because I was worried to take an exam for the second time. My husband just drop me off to DMV at 8:30, they opened at 9:00 and at 9:20 my number called and the old lady didn't accept my phone bill as a proof of my residential because its different from regular telephone bill and I insist because the other lady accepted it last week and she said dont arguing with her. So, I sit for a while and look for the flow of people and looking if there was somebody who can help me. After 5 minutes, I went to another lady and explain what was happened, she talked the old lady and refer me again to her. When she finished with her customer she called me, she was angry with me, because she said that the most she hate is to passed by her, she didn't accepted my apology but the most important is she approved my documents . I remember that ###### old lady, last week there was a guy who gave all his documents but she disapproved but the guy went to another window and approved it.

Finally, I passed my written exam today. I got 24 correct in 10 minutes out of 25questions.

Once again thank you to all of you.

Thank you Nickd and Charles for the reply

I'm just new here. I'm glad I found this site and wishing anybody could help me. I already have my GC and will start to my work by next week. Since I still dont have a driver license, my husband will drop me off and pick me from my job. I never haven't drive even before. We went to DMV to take a written exam and unluckily I failed and this week I will try again but I feel more nervous because I dont want to failed again. Is there somebody can help me what will I do to pass DMV written exam? Is Practice test thru online can help me? By the way, I'm here in Massachusetts.

Thank you in advance and I really appreciate your help.

GOD bless.
