Congrats to all those approved. I'm starting to feel a bit more positive about the process.

My OH has been confident that he will be fine...but recently he has been getting a bit worried too...

I have gotten quite homesick myself during my extended trips to the UK....and I can not imagine how people coped with the vast distances before Internet, Skype, and email. Usually a long conversation with my mom or a friend back home will snap me out of it ( I LOVE SKYPE!!!!) but it does not hurt to be prepared with familiar things and comforts of home. Silly things like my duvet and my favorite crackers that I can not get here in the UK.

So, I am also making a list of things he might miss when we go to the US....TEA...for one, I think is essential....the tea in the UK is much nicer....branston pickle too.

Completely agree with you on the Branston! Cheese and crackers will never be the same for me again! Branston is a must!!

food:

branston pickle, tea, Irn Bru, haggis (real stuff), reasonable priced scottish single malt, HP sauce, houston brewery ale (infact just real ale), dragon palace (local chinese take away)...... I'm sure i'd think of more

TV:

father ted, red dwarf, little britain, still game

random stuff:

popping down to fox and hounds with my brother and his girlfriend at 5mins notice (or my dad), the solid rock bar in glasgow (loads of mates there), cathouse (rockclub in glasgow), braehead shopping centre (i know where to find everything), being 10mins from coast, being 20mins from mountains

Hey debz, just so you know...we can watch Father Ted, Red Dwarf, My hero and some other Brit coms on PBS late night sundays and saturdays. Little Britain is on BBC America (cable subscription), and you can get some UK foodstuffs shipped from www.BuyBritish.net (I got some Bird's custard, treacle, and some mince pies from there...OH and Cadbury flake bars-I made homemade 99's and added carmel sauce and called them 69's LOL).

It's little things that mean alot to remind you of home I'm sure. I've tried hard to make some of my OH's faves from home like homemade Leek casseroles and soups. I'm proud to say i've MASTERED Yorkshire puds (amazing because our flour is different here than there...they rose beautifully). My next endeavour will be bangers and mash. Anyone have a good recipe? I'm quite proud of myself on these as Peter said they were better than his mam's...wonder if he was just being nice..but he ate many helpings so maybe not. Haggis well..I'm not even gonna try to fix that...we didn't eat it even when we were in Edinburgh...ugh. Peter never complained of being homesick..just bored because I had to work..his ID name on MSN is LAUNDRY SLAVE because he did all my laundry. He did it right too!!! Anyway I'm droning on...all for now! GO USCIS!!!! CONGRATS TO ALL APPROVED!!

Sorry about your RFE Audrey. That really stinks, and so does the fact that they won't tell you anything over the phone about your RFE. They will tell you that you must wait for the notice in the mail.

I hope its something simple that you can take care of easily! Good luck!

sorry to hear that. think positive, its probably something simple & it won't delay you long & it will be easy to iron out.

good luck.

That sucks. Don't worry though. It will hopefully be something stupid that they lost, so you will just be delayed 1-2 weeks and will be approved instantly after sending back the RFE.

Approved!!

Hey, big CONGRATS!

Wish me luck too. I finally got a touch this evening.
