thanks guys!

kayla - yes i believe you are right. Seb unfortunately got an RFE notification a couple days ago...he's waiting to get the letter and see what it is. hopefully it will be something really simple. I'm sure once he gets that submitted they'll get approved quite quickly after that.

Aw, that sucks. It's probably something dumb like when they lost all of my financial papers. It's like a bunch of monkeys with butterfingers work there.

Bunch of monkeys with butterfingers

Iwas thinking more like @#$%^ and *&^% with a touch of &^%$# thrown in for good measure!

I think they ourght to change their name to USCIOS with the "O" standing for

At least we are done for two years , so them

Well we have been without net for a few weeks, but things have been steady. Definitely not great but not too horrible. My seasonal job ended last week and I've yet to find something else. Our hot water heater has decided not to stay lit so no hot water. Our car insurance company told us that if Matt doesn't have a US license by March 25, they are canceling the policy for the entire house, and we can't get his license until his EAD arrives. Im stressed beyond belief and its affecting my body (because there is no way my lack of period is caused by pregnancy - I can 100% guarantee that)....

But other than that things are okay. I'm trying to stay positive and looking forward to mailing off our AOS package here in a few weeks. School is good too.

I've been keeping you all in my thoughts. I hope good things are coming to you all. I'm glad to read that Fuat didn't leave - I hope he's still there, too.

Please take care of yourselves!! <3

Jenn I'm glad he stayed and I hope your friend is okay...

Paciencia y fe congrats!!

AandD yay married congrats!

Hopefully Sebs rfe is easy..fingers crossed.

Krystle how are you holding up? I think of you often.

Kayla how is Mathews Job hunt going?

I did my biometrics on the 20th. Hours of driving for 10 mins of stuff. Indianapolis is over 2 hours away. At least its done though.

Today My status was updated for residence and I am pleased to say my application was sent to California! Keeping my fingers crossed because I can almost see that finishing line.

[frenzyheart 2]

It feels SO nice to have internet again and it certainly makes things a LOT easier! Good news: We now have the AOS fee money!! We're gathering all of our paper work now, and then we'll get all the paperwork from my aunt and HOPEFULLY come February 10th, we'll be mailing it off to the lockbox! I'm a little nervous that we're going to get stuck with an interview, but you know what? We have nothing to hide. We are 100% bonafide and will prove it any way we have to!

I supremely hope you all are doing well. This thread has been kinda quiet the last few days! PLEASE take care of yourselves, and hope to talk to you all soon!!!!

[paciencia y fe 2]

Hi everyone, I see Jenn hadn't check back in, hope all is well with her.

Frenzy, I'm happy to hear you were able to come up with the money, not sure if you sent it off as yet.

As for myself, I'm being amazed by the movement of the baby, his little kicks gets harder and goes farther day by day. I am still hoping, praying and keeping the faith for a miracle, either way I'm still going to love my Aidan

BTW, I'm planning the shower, does anyone live close to NJ that would like to attend? Or are we gonna have to have a cyber baby shower? Lol, I would love to meet at least one of you all.

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

I'm still here!!! Sooo busy and have been ill lately. But I just had to drop in to let you all know I am still here.

Fuat is still here too.. but there are those days. He has almost left a few times, gotten tickets twice, went to the airport once.. but didn't leave. We want to make this work.. so hopefully we will.

We actually leave for Turkey and Jordan next week ( provided Jordan doesn't end up like Egypt and it's not safe to go)... going on work trips and will spend a few extra days in Turkey.

Things have been so rough lately I will not be surprised if he doesn't come back.. but so far he is still here.

I apologize for my long absence.. but please know I think about all of you almost every day and and soon as I can get back on a normal schedule I will be around more often.

and Krystle.. I want at LEAST a Cyber Shower. Can you also let me know your mailing address.

Hope all is well with everyone..

I will get caught up when I can!

[frenzyheart 2]

Jenn! I'm SO GLAD he's still here!!! Hopefully things can continue to go positively and you two work everything out! You deserve to be so, so very happy!!

Krystle, I'm so excited that he's kicking! I will continue to pray that everything turns out well!

Well, I filled out all the forms this morning, and now all we're waiting on is our checks to show up in the mail, and the paperwork from my aunt, and then we can mail it all off! Exciting and amusing fact - our checks match the design on my debit card... so when USCIS opens up our application, Hello Kitty will be staring them directly in the face. Oh how I wish I could be a fly on the wall at that point, just to see if it's amusement or annoyance, lol.

Sadly, still no progress on the job front. My sister has a friend that works at one of the better lawn care companies here in Iowa, and she talked to him and he told her that once Matt can work, he will try to get him a job. PROSPECT! It's going to be my luck, though - Matt will have a job before I do. I can almost guarantee it!!!

Please take care of yourselves! <3

[kjenkins86 5]

Jenn, have a safe trip and check in as soon as you can!

I'm glad Fuat is still here, continue to fight to keep the relationship together, the struggle will be worth it!

I'll email you the info.

Frenzy, glad that at least one of you can get s job, its better than nothing. Thank you for your continued prayers

Lol @ the hello kitty checks.

I finally finished my baby registry and I LOVE walmart, they have everything ridiculously affordable! None of us have children yet but if you guys have the chance, check it out and tell me what you all think, does it look complete??

I'm registered as krystle mccree-jenkinson, the arrival city is passaic, state is nj and due date is June 9. Either 2 of those info should find my registry.

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

Hi everyone. I hope you had a Happy Valentines Day!

Our first one together was so nice :)

Tomorrow we leave for Turkey and Jordan. Fuat's mom will be surprised when we walk through the door on Thursday .. then we have a job fair Friday and Saturday and will leave Turkey for Jordan on the 24th.. we fly back here on March 1. Hopefully everything will go well.

Krystal I got your info!! Thanks.

I just wanted to check in and say hi and I am definetly going to try to be around more now that things are getting better with my health, with Fuat, with my job...praying it stays that way.

Take care and talk to you soon!

[brightskte 18]

I'm so happy everything is looking up for everyone now.

Mathew and I had a wonderful first Valentines together. He sent me flowers to work and then spent all day decorating the bedroom and making dinner for the two of us. And now today he's taking me shopping! Whoo!

I hope everyone is doing well and has enjoyed valentines together!

[paciencia y fe 2]

hi guys, we had a great valentine's day and hope everyone else did too!

question...has anyone been able to find a job yet? my honey is still looking.

[brightskte 18]

6 months later, and Mathew is STILL looking. Disheartening, but we're not giving up.
