I don't remember a 90 day counter on AOS. I thought the 90 day drop dead deadline was to marry after you exercise the K1 visa.

I was under the impression that everybody wanted to rush the AOS so that they could work, travel, drive, and enter the Social Security system.

I thought that you were entitled to stay in the country based on the fact that your were the spouse of a USC and that you had satisfied the terms of the K1 ( marriage within 90 days ). Are you saying that the spouse of a USC could be deported solely based on a late adjustment of status?

I was under the impression that once you married you were not obligated to a time limit for filing the AOS as long as the US citizen was able to sponsor the non-US spouse. I filed about 60 days passed my husband's K-1 expire date since we were waiting to send in 05 tax returns. I know you will need to show proof of employment once again with a letter from an employer stating work history with the company. This could be an issue since you go laid off, I would say try to get any jobs out there even if it's temporary. I know I work 4 jobs and as long as I am making above the poverty level requirement we are okay. The government doesn't care how you get the $ ....

Good Luck,

Just wanted to wish everyone that celebrates Passover a blessed Holiday with family and friends. I have a kindergarten student at work who has been very excited to get her chocolate mahtza. Never heard of that tradition before, but it sounds yummy.

But how can Tom Delay be like Jesus when Jesus threw the Kingdom upside down.... he was a democrat at the big time...

Lots of good stories.. Honestly, some nights we sleep fine togther all snuggly, other nights like the Sunday night I wondered #######... Although Sat. night was my night to be restless since once in awhile Iget that Restless Leg syndrome.

I have been messing around today on the internet looking for new beds, mattresses at Ikea. I might go up Saturday and see what they have up there cause maybe that will solve the problem.

Thanks for the input....

I am with you one day I was sitting in traffic with the excruiating pain in my head from one of the cars behind me. Enough torture on the highway dealing with the road rage, but then to have to listen to that too, when I am peacefully listening to my music ....

A couple of our parents drive up to the daycare every morning with the tunes on.. One mom said it was my birthday present as her car was booming outside as she checked her kid in , she didn't even turn off the car.

Wish I could be the terminator at times... LOL

Moondancer

hooray! we were approved today, too!

Congrats to all!

I have driven stick ever since I learned in college on a 69 Dodge Pickup. It had the shifter on the column. I worked grounds crew for 4 years in college and even got to drive a dump truck. Now I have an 86 Honda CRX.

Stick keeps my driving in control, I need to think as I drive, and I can also feel like a race car driver when

I get the urge to get aggressive in my driving.

Just wandering how hard it is for everyone to adjust to Really sharing a bed with your spouse? While we were dating sleeping together was still a "hot item" . Now he bed hogs, steals blankets, passes gas, and tosses and turns all night. Then we get into fights in the middle of the night. Last night it was kind of warm in the house, he's not been in Tucson this late in the season, he wanted the door open at 1 AM and I said no way, I don't want someone walking into the house while I am asleep. Our door faces an alley, so we yelled at each other and he went outside to sleep on my hammock. When I left for work at 5:30 AM I went into the backyard and he wasn't there , so I peeked inside his truck and there he was asleep in the back seat. He got cold and didn't want to wake me up.

That s8cks. Goes along with the flag burning.... Let's all hug and be friends.

Moondancer

Are you sure this is Tucson? It looks like Phx, no one in our local news reported this.... It looks too green for Tucson !!!!!!

Don't trust the media as they sensationalize everything .

Moondancer

Okay, I just checked the website, yep it is Tucson , K-gun 9 news website.

That's how much I pay attention to the news, cause it's always the same old stuff!

The other posts are correct as long as you are married within the 90 days you are fine to file past the 90days. We sent in our paperwork about a month after the K-1 expired because I was waiting to file my 05 tax return since they ask for 3 years of tax info.

As the other posts state, the sooner you file the quicker you get your life out of limbo. As you see it takes 30-90 days to process the EAD and from 120-180 days to process the AOS. For us we are waiting to get the EAD which might not be until May And AOS may not be done until August.

My husband is in limbo keeping busy being a housewife.

I just ate a South Beach Frozen Microwave Pizza, kinda tasty and only 330 calories for the whole thing.

Well I liked Target until this week. All holidays they have put out cute tee-shirts.

I got a white one with a rhinestone black cat on it for Halloween, a black one with a Rhinestone red star on it for X-mas, a black T with silver hearts for Valentines Day, a black T with Green puffy paint dots for St. Pat's Day, but do they have Easter T-s with cute Rhinestone eggs, bunnies or flowers..... NOOOOO!!! They have 4th of July Shirts out already!

I think I will check at Walmart.....

What's wrong with this picture???

Doesn't Target like Easter????

I am a Cancer

I'm Cancer too. we are very moody, I don't remember the last time I really cried watching a movie although I remember sniffling through "Crash" and " A Very Long Engagement".

LOL Dusk to Dawn meets Brokeback Mountain.....

Well the IRS didn't waste anytime sending me my statement for money owed. I did my taxes in Jan. paid 1/2 of what I owed and then got another bill from the IRS within two weeks of filing for the other half.

They want our money, mine is already paid in for the year.....

Watch Jesus Christ Superstar... I like Rice and Weber's rendition of the Judas story...

Also another good movie called The God Who Wasn't There put out by Beyond Belief Media.

The Truth is Out There-... Fox Mulder

Is this going to be the live action version or animated.. They always seem to turn cartoons into live action films which s8c7k... like Scooby Doo and the Flintstones...

The Simpsons Rule!!!

Missed the earth shattering event this morning at 01:02.03 I slept through it was having a dream, weird one, but can't remember it.... the cat woke me up at 1:20 for some food , rolled back into bed and kept dreaming.

It was a good night of sleep...

woke up to weird weather in Tucson, wind lots of wind.... lightning driving to work over the mountains, some rain coming down here and there, and now it's cleared up and is beautiful..

We married November 25. Went right down after the ceremony and got two certified copies of the marriage licsense at the County Clerks Desk. The K-1 expired Jan 19, we didn't get our packet sent in until Feb 2, since I was waiting for my W-2's to file my most recent year of income taxes as the USCIS now requires 3 years of proof.

It is now April 4, no news of anything except that Anton had his biometrics appointment.

Anyway we sent in one of the certified copies with our package. Get to your County office and get a certified copy of your marriage license.

Good Luck,

If you want an eyeopening account of what really happens to illegal immigrants on the US/Mexican Border read The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea.

This is a true story of an incident that happened in May 0f 2001 when 26 men came in to the desert between Mexico and Yuma and only 12 survived the ordeal.

It's really let me rethink the whole situation here in the Southwest, and something has got to be done to catch the criminals who smuggle these poor trusting souls up here and let them die in the desert.

Mexico and the US must work together on the issues and not point fingers and try to criminalize the innocent.

My opinion of course.......

I think it's time to clean my litter box.. I voted once a fortenight, but what is that anyway.

Like Frances I use Feline Pine, scoop out the poops, but wash it out with bleach once the pine chips dissolve completely into sawdust.

I like Feline Pine cause it smells so good when it's brand new.

That clumping stuff grosses me out.

I'm not having Hot Flashes I'm having Power Surges!

Haven't had this experience... Can't say I wear heels all the time. My hiking buddies were amazed I wore heels for about an hour at our wedding.

The big question is have you ever broken a heel?

I like your idea of going to Washinton DC, Baltimore area.

DC has all the great museums which are free, plus it's easy to get around via subway.

Baltimore is only a few hours away and the Inner Harbor is great.

I loved the aquarium there.

New York City is great too, and easy to do things in , is the $500 just airfare, or will that figure in hotels and car rentals as well?
