Here we are, almost 4 years into our marriage, well over three years of living a happy life together, three moves behind us since Nani arrived in the US and just over 9 months into parenthood blessed with our little cutie, here we are filing the I-751. Seems just so out of place having to demonstrate, yet again, to this bureaucracy that we married for all the right reasons. I can't wait to get this one done and over with and to get through the last piece of this process, filing the N-400 for Nani and say buh-bye to the USCIS for freakin' ever.

Anyway, it's all assembled and ready to go tomorrow morning. Wish us luck! :)

Good luck for a speedy approval on your I-751.

I just got mine, and it took 8 months from application to approval. In a couple of months, I'm onto Naturalization.

on the corner of sligh & 43rd. I don't know if you know of the area, but there were some townhouses built across the street from Robles Elementary about 3 years ago. That is where my house is. Riverwalk @ Waterside, plus not so good neighborhood anymore, we used to have security all the time, not anymore and someone broke into my car 2 weeks ago. all for them to steal a broken cd player.lol Anyhow I cant wait for my fiance to move here so we can move some where else.

What about yourself?

Yes, I would say Valrico is much nicer and quiter. Less crime. I hate driving on 60 though, red light, one right after the other, at least in Brandon. I've considered moving to Brandon, though Valrico is a nice option too. The houses are cheaper there??

60 gets much easier once you're through Brandon. And there are alternate routes - I hardly ever travel on 60. Home prices in Brandon and Valrico are probably about the same. Homes are generally newer in Valrico, though. We like it. Nice family neighborhoods.

I wish you a speedy approval. I didn't know you and your wife were in the Tampa area, but then again I haven't been posting much lately because we have almost six months until we file to lift conditions. My husband and I live in Brandon, and my parents live in Valrico.

((Success))
