Heres a question you guys might now...You know under peoples names it says they are members, platinum members etc and has a bunch of blue boxes (which I assume is related to # of posts)...why do some have hearts and some not?

When you have hearts, it means you have no life.

lol. Mmk, I didn't know if they ment you were at a certain pt in the process or what.

trail - thats awesome, new born babies are so cute...but the best part is handing them back and not having to change or feed them lol.

No its usually... you hit 1000 posts... you get a heart.. you hit 2000... you get a heart.

Wow, you're so cool. I had some kind of lamb last night. I went out, Milestones was the place I believe.

And they're deporting that girl!? That makes me mad.

These stories make me so mad. But, this girl is married to an American citizen. So I don't understand why he can't just file a petition for her as his wife? The story mentioned something to that effect, but in one mysterious sentence. LOL.

Yeah because the reporters generally always write these stories without doing any research - so they skim over the details.

Hey guys, I'm signing up for the Custom House foreign exchange service everyone recommended. But it doesn't state fees anywhere on the site. How much do they charge to transfer funds to Canada?

Thanks!

Maybe because she's illegal, they can't apply? But you'd think USCIS would bend the rules based on extenuating circumstances or on compassionate grounds. How can they treat every case by the book?

ZERO!!! if you do it EFT (electronic file transfer) there are NO fees, NONE!! They also offer a wire service, but there are fees for that,but its faster. EFT takes 3-4 business days!!

Back about that girl, she did not know that she was staying illegally. And she already has a SSN. I don't see it's taken them this long to pinpoint her, and since she didn't come to the USA with the purpose of marrying and staying, couldn't she just stay and file I-130/EAD/AOS? I wish. But maybe it's not that simple.

You know, it's too bad that you can't drink water out of the tap anymore - I mean you can, but it tastes pretty awful and is generally so choc full of chemicals that it barely tastes like water.

I know what you mean, when I was living in Dartmouth, drinking tap water was a GIANT no-no. Simply because, although we had the Atlantic Ocean, anything that went down the drain ended up in the harbor...and we didn't really have any major water treatment plant..so it was just a NO. DON'T DO IT.

Houston water is pretty good. I drink it from the tap all the time.
