Hugs,

Debbie

Just got back from Turkey last night... so jet lagged, but no time for that. I only have 11 days before I have to go back to New York to meet his flight

have a lot to do to get the house ready

Deb, now that the PM system is working again I will try to send you a message later today. It's been crazy around here, but I am leaving for NYC in two days.. can't believe this is actually going to happen

One of my friends in the September K1 thread went to Social Security the other day and they told her Fiance he did not need to apply for a Soc. # because he will automatically get one. Something about that little question on one of the forms that asks if you want to apply for one ( don't remember which form that was on). I remember asking about that question, in another forum, when I was filling out Fuat's forms and someone said that we had to answer it.. but K1's do not get the Soc. # automatically. Some other visa types do. I am pretty sure the person at her SSA office was wrong... and he will not get his SS# automatically. We've told her to have him go back, but I thought I would check with all of you.

On another note, I hope David and Melek had good luck today. They waited a year from the point of going to NVC to their interview. Hopefully they received good news today and there were no more problems.

My husband got his permanent resident card but we are still waiting on his SS card. I went to the SS office to ask about it last week and they said they were behind and asked us to wait 2 more weeks. I think I will go again on Monday and just demand that they assign him one on the spot because a month and 2 weeks is much longer than most people have to wait for it.

On another note, just as I expected, our landlord doesn't want to return our 1800 lira deposit from when we rented an apartment in Istanbul and there isn't a whole lot I can do about it from over here. I'd be happy to get back half of that because we really need the money but she said she would only be willing to return 300 lira max.! What a thieving ######!

Sitting at JFK right now. . . Waiting. Plane is delayed until 5:00. We have waited so long that a few more hours won't hurt but wish I had brought a book

I just can't believe he will actually be here in a few hours.

I hope everybody is doing well. I haven't stopped by here for a really long time. Everything is going well for us here. Handan is almost 5 months pregnant now and in a couple of weeks we hope to find out if it's a boy or girl. VJ sent me an email about some site improvements so I wanted to come by to check them out. We went to the Turkish embassy in Los Angeles a couple of months ago to register our marriage and that was an interesting experience. It's in a highrise office building and there are no lines or anything. We went in, talked to the guy at the counter, paid our money, and left

The Anatolian festival is coming in May if anybody is in the area. We'll probably check that out.

Merhaba! I haven't been here for a long time, but I wanted to share the good news. My husband has landed a fantastic job! We moved to the Bay Area over a year ago and unfortunately, he could not find work. He probably applied for over 200 jobs, had a ton of interviews, but because there were so many senior IT people out of work, it was impossible to find a job. We didn't waste time and he enrolled at a local college to take more IT classes, and did an internship with Cisco. Then last week, he got not 1 but 2 job offers! He took the better paying job with full benefits, at an international company, and will start on the 19th! Yay!

We've been in the US for a while, but it feels like this is a 'second beginning' for us. He was starting to talk about going back to Turkey for a while, even just to work for a few months, so he could help take care of things. We're both so incredibly thankful that didn't have to happen!

Anyway.... we got the news yesterday morning on the job offer and it was also our 2nd anniversary! Kismet.

Hope you're all well!

Congratulations to your husband. That's outstanding.

Hi everyone,

Since Fuat arrived I have barely had time to get on here...wanted to let everyone he is doing well and each day gets easier. It was really rough at first, but starting to calm down now. We got married on March 30.. but have the wedding planned, for my family, on May 1. Ended up getting married earlier than we had planned.. but the legal part is done now.

once we have a ceremony for my family we can wear our rings

Hope all is well....
