~July 2007 K-1 Filers~

[Jeraly 4]

Are you girls shipping all your stuff? Does that get pricey?

I'm going to try and be as mercenary as I can but I am going to ship what I can't bear to part with I won't be able to afford to go home for a while

Dear friends, I decided to check and guess what I saw. My predicted adjudication date for AP moved from early May to late May and for EAD it moved from late May to early June. Not that it´s a big deal if it moved 2 weeks ahead but you know. All the K1 delay from the last year is still in my fresh memory and there once the date started moving like that it never seemed to going to stop moving to a later date. Oh well...just keep waiting

Hey I wouldn't sweat the small stuff I'm quite prepared for everything to take ages - the EAD would be kinda handy but I want to do voluntary work anyway and the AP - well I can't afford to go anywhere so it's not that big of a deal right away Besides - more time to spend on here with everyone

Well I´m not sweating anything It´s just the date has been stable ever since and now it started moving so I just don´t like it. But it might as well mean no delay at all We will see I might need AP cuz GC might as well take ages so it would be nice to have it

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

OMG Jeraly I think you are even funnier You even put * to our names in the AOS spreadsheet to indicate something

CONGRATUALTIONS CHRIS AND GRETCHEN!!!!!!

i have big time baby fever, but i really need to work for at least one year before we start a family. plus, moneywise it would really be impossible. other than that, my temporary health insurance doesn't cover pregnancy. plus, things are still settling down and i didn't quite adjust to living here yet. there are still so many things that we need to figure out. nope, not just baby time yet.

oh, but big news here, too! i just got my first paycheck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it feels so good to make some money again!

i survived the first 2 weeks at my job and hope that they won't fire me in the third

i did ship quite a bunch of stuff, but it was ridiculously expensive to ship, so all of my furniture and my winter clothes are still back home.... we plan on flying to germany for christmas (we'll skip the honeymoon and go home for christmas) and i hope to be able to take some more stuff with me.

we hope to be able to move to the eastcoast next summer, until then we're renting. it doesn't make financial sense to buy a house we won't be living in for more than a year.

oh, and about EAD and AOS dates - it frustrates the hell out of me. i will go NUTS if I don't get my EAD within the 90 days. i need the work, i need the money. sitting at home IS NOT GOOD FOR ME.

AGNES!!!! I know what you mean about babies - I want to enjoy some time just being selfish and having Jeremy all to myself for a little while - plus we want to settle down a bit more and things first - we aren't going to have a lot of money at first and we want the best for our kids when we have them! As yet we don't even have a house so a baby is not on the horizon in the forseeable future!!!

You are soooo lucky to be going home for Christmas - we would love to but it just isn't going to happen - we won't be able to afford it so looks like we are going to have to find something to take the sting out of it Christmas here is always a big family affair with about 20 of us - as it stands we will be lucky to have three of us Who knows - if we keep our eyes on the flights we might be able to pick something up cheap but I don't want to get my hopes up

We're talking about moving east sometime too - houses sooo much cheaper there We want to travel around the States a little first though to see where we like That is going to be soo fun And you're not allowed to move before we come visit!!

Move to Buffalo, aly! The houses here are super cheap! But then you have to be prepared to deal with lots of snow, so you may want to do some more research.

Move to Houston, Aly! The houses here are super cheap! But then you have to be prepared to deal with lots of heat, so you may want to do some more research.
