BIGGEST CONGRATS TO HEROLMOUNIA!!! After 9 loooooong months they finally got approved which means all January filers have been approved finally!

I wish I could post that jumping emoticon and other dancing emoticons but I don't have the link here now, I left it in the Philippines.

Mounia, Just know that all the January filers are very happy for you and Herol.

BIGGEST CONGRATS again!!! God's blessings always.

THANK YOU GAYE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT U HAVE BEEN PROVIDING TO ALL OF US, WE ALL LOVE U

Hey everyone .... boy this thread has gotten quiet since we've all moved along ....

Stephen and I are preparing for the AOS interview that is coming up 2 weeks from tomorrow. Otherwise, trying to settle in after the ceremonial wedding, however we are still busy with Youth Soccer and all the other things we are trying to do.

Another bonus though, Stephen went to get his driver's license last week (NC state has strict rules for immigrants and drivers licenses) -- he had to take the written test, sign test, vision test and road test ... but he passed them all. He was ecstatic to finally have a state issued ID!!!

Hope everyone is well and things are progressing as each of you hopes.

Just an update ...

We went to the AOS interview this morning ... 1 hour waiting, 15 minutes in the office, a few questions (how did we meet, how long we had known each other, when did we get married, how is married life?) ... more time spent in silence as he flipped through the original I-129F application and AOS documents we submitted. I saw him stamp it approved. He then asked for a copy of the marriage certificate (they seemed to have lost it in the file). He went to photo copy the marriage certificate and our drivers license. When he left the room I told Stephen to look where the approved stamp was (he was like, oh, WOW!). And that was it. He gave us a document explaining in 2 years we would need to apply to lift the conditions and that in three years Stephen could apply for citizenship. It was much easier than we expected. Should have the GC in 2 weeks.

Hope everyone is well!!

That is a WOW!!!!! CONGRATS!!! everything has surely moved very fast for the two of you. I just hope our AOS will be just as fast when we file... as of now, we are still saving for the $2,210 (we will most likely skip EAD and just wait for AOS approval before I start working) that we would need for the AOS. It is high because there will be three of us applying.. but I am sure God will make a way since we are also doing our part of the bargain.

Congrats again Amanda and Stephen.

Hello dbears

Why are you going to skip EAD? If you file for the EAD at the same time as the AOS, there is no additional fee, so if it is a money issue, you don't have to skip it.

Thanks a bunch for the heads up Cez, that will be cool if there is no additional fee. I guess I have to be active on VJ again coz I am still totally lost on AOS matters.
