Hi Everyone,

How are things going? Deb - Hope your still recovering well. Awaterlily, I am sure you are enjoying your beautiful daughter and the fall weather. Mina, I know you are very busy with the holiday season fast approaching.

Just checking in with everyone. I have still no word on the waiver. Talk to Yilmaz as much as I can on the phone, but it is still no substitute for him or his touch.

Enjoy your day.

Wendy

WOW....thats Great News Deb.! Congratulations......... :dance::dance::dance::dance:

:D Hi Wedy & Awaterlily,

Thanks for your support! I actually went to the doctor yesterday and he was pleased with my progress! I have lost 14lbs since 9/10 and he up graded me to eat some soft foods! Whoohoo!!!! I had 3ozs. of mashed potatoes and 4ozs. of a fat free/sugar free yogurt! It was so good to eat something! So as of now I have officially lost 45lbs. since mid July(I was on a high protein liquid diet for 2 months prior to surgery and lost the other 30 some pounds). I go back to the doctor in a month and I return back to work on Oct. 1. So things are going well, thank God... Thanks for asking and keep the faith Wendy, your time will come for your love to be with you. Just take 1 day at a time and try to talk to him everyday if you can, that helps. And Awaterlily, your baby is absolutely gorgeous! You are so blessed to have a little angel! :innocent:

Take care now,

~Deb :luv:

Merhaba,

It is nice to come and read how everyone is doing, changes taking place and so on and keeping this forum alive.

Nothing new to report on our side. We will file to "Remove Conditions" on the 5th of next month. Our packet of paperwork is about an inch thick. I might have gone overboard with proof but now days it seems ......well, I won’t say it.

How is everyone else with this "Remove Conditions" process going?

Betty and Seyhan are just ahead of us if I remember right....Betty, any news to share?

Mina, I think you guys got the 10 year green card already the first round...correct?

Seems most of the old timers don’t come around any more ;-( I have the original list when I first started the K1 forum; I should post it here to bring back some smiles. There were more of us.

Time sure comes and goes quickly now days......my oldest daughter just got her drivers license ;-( and in another years time she will be off to college. :crying:

I will try to write more and keep you posted on our process. If you have any questions on this process please feel free to ask. ;-) I think I will post my cover letter with all my documentation supporting it for those of you who will be filing this also.

I wish everyone ALL the best.

Peace to ALL

Debbie

Hang in there, Wendy. :star:

Deb - how exciting to hear about your upcoming removal of conditions process! GL! I'm interested in hearing about your experience as we'll be doing the same at the end of the year. What do you suggest using for supporting evidence?

BTW, I found this reference on the USCIS website:

Joint Petition . A Form I-751 being filed as a joint petition shall be accompanied by evidence that the marriage was not entered into for the purpose of evading the immigration laws of the U.S. Such evidence may include:

• Documentation showing joint ownership of property;

• Lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence;

• Documentation showing commingling of financial resources;

• Birth certificates of children born to the marriage;

• Affidavits of third parties having knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship ( Note: the affiant must be available to appear at the joint petitioners’ interview if required); or

• Other documentation establishing that the marriage was not entered into in order to evade the immigration laws of the U.S.

Merhaba awaterlily,

Your baby is sooooooo Pretty!!! (L)

Well this is what I have and will be sending...I made a post in the correct forum "Remove Conditions" with the same info but have not received any negitive info as this was not enough documentation......Sooo ;-) I guess I am going with it. I didnt feel we needed letters from friends or family as we have more than enough other doc's. Total of about 100 pages ;-)

As always I will keep everyone updated as we go thru another round of immigration. :blink:

Please if anyone has any insite, feel free to let me know.

Peace,

Debbie

Thanks Deb...she's a little peanut!

And thanks for the tips on supporting docs for the conditions removal.

All - as so many of us have been hanging out on this board for a while, it would be nice to put a face with the name...here's a pic of me. The pic was taken a couple years ago but I look the same.

Hi Everyone,

I am so happy to hear of everyone's progress!!

I have some news, I am going to Turkey at the end of December. I was going to wait to hear something on the waiver we filed before my next visit, but it will have been over a year since we have seen each other and it is just too long!!!

I leave on December 28 and will fly back on January 13. I wish it could be for longer, but I will take what I can get. Even though our relationship has been for 2 1/2 years, it will be our first New Year's together. I am so excited!! I hope and pray that everything goes well.

awaterlily, thanks for bumping up this thread. Best wishes on your removal of conditions!!
