Sorry I did not approve your comment for a while!! I'm glad your wife's green card was approved!! It's time for me to file I-751 now. Ahhh!!

omg, time to file I-751 already!! The busy time with USCIS will commence once again!! Has been a good "international" marriage so far thanks to my family, friends, and husband.

Oh yay!! It looks like your wife is gonna get a green card soon!! Congrats!!

Hello!! (And Happy New Year!!) I didn't log in here for a while, but I did as I was confused about AR-11 (change of address form), and saw that you and your wife will have an interview soon. Good luck!!

Hello, I haven't logged in for a long time, but I just wanna say Congrats to your fiancee and you to get K1 visa!! Yay!! I am glad your family is safe in Japan. (I was actually in Japan when the earthquake happened, and yes it was really scary.) Now I got a new computer, so I started to update some stuff on my blog in these days. Shoot me with any questions if you have. Good...

No problem! Yeah my situation was a little different as I had my SSN already from college, but I heard that getting SSN is a pain in the neck!!

My AOS was approved yesterday btw. There is always a light at the end of tunnel!! Good luck!!

and of course, DMV in CA is a pain in the neck...

I have a feeling you have checked them out already, but I felt like my explanation was not good enough at Japan Filers board. Sorry to post 3 comments in a row. Good luck!!

OK, I guess there is no alternative way. So I would post some useful links here.

Hello, yagisama. This is chicalifornia who have posted a message a while ago at Japan filers page. I wanted to let you know more about DMV process for visa holder in CA, but I guess I only can type 400 characters here, doh! I will find another alternative way or post more comments here. I hope you do not mind me adding you as a friend here and writing a comment. Ciao!
