~July 2007 K-1 Filers~

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Guys Guess what I´ve been busy so I still have catching up to do. But I just randomly checked USCIS webpage today (cuz I stopped checking it regularly cuz I lost interest in it ) and it says they sent me the AP approval on 08-02 So now I don´t know what I am doing I already stopped thinking about going to Europe for the wedding in Aug/Sept but now I´m maybe going Isn´t that crazy? That could also mean that our trip to see Aly might be in danger since I don´t know what I´m doing yet

Oh Marta - that is awesome news!! You've waited so long!! And it would be amazing if you could make it back to Europe after all We fully understand if you can't make the party - besides, as soon as people choose a date (Oct 31 or 1 Nov) then I'll be sending out invitations to a halloween party too so you can come to that

Yippee!! Just EAD and GC now!!! :dance:

Congrats on the AP approval Marta. I'm still getting my AOS paperwork together. It was nice having a break from USCIS paperwork for a while but now I'm panicking about being tardy about sorting it. I've been taking care of my nephew over the summer so have had some 'spends' but now he is close to returning to school and i'm panicking about how i'm going to get a job without EAD. Oh well.

The freakiest bug I've encountered so far is a big blue flying insect which looks like a beetle and has a wingspan of 2 inches or so. They fly right by your head and the buzzing is horrific. I hate them!! Have no idea what they are though.

Congrats on the AP marta.

I've encountered several freaky bugs. The locusts scare me. Big ugly noisy things. I like the fireflies though.

We need to try do a more central meet up sometime for those of us stuck in the #######-end-of-nowhere.

Current missions for me to keep mind off AOS.

1. Try train our kitty not to bite. He's a 2 yr old rescue cat and he has agression issues. His name is Oscar the grouch.

2. Find an affordable SUV or Van or car that's big enough to carry all Nick's band stuff (also need to be able to afford insurance on said transport.)

3. It's eldest sister in laws b'day today, another sister in laws b'day tomorrow and brother in laws b'day on sat. How my mother in law did it I don't know.

Thanks everyone

I was just thinking we all have pretty adventurous lives one way or another

So I won´t be able to get to PS this time unfortunately, but we´ll hopefully make it at Halloween. Then, I might only fit into an elephant costume

Two weddings in a year, Aly Hope your second one went as well as the first one

And Julez is gonna need someone to give her a rub after so much hard work

I think you wrote it somewhere Gillian, I tried to look for it but I skipped through the posts too fast I guess so...do we know when you are going on your trip?

Rach, has Scott found more things to like about this country or does he still hate it the same?

Prettiest, I know it´s your real name

Now that was a big random post wasn´t it

Now that was a big random post wasn´t it

Rachel, has Scott found more things to like about this country or does he still hate it the same?

Well, I think Scott will always feel pretty much the way he does about the States and about a lot of Americans. But at least he doesn't walk around saying "I hate this, I hate this." I think knowing we will go back to Canada makes it much easier to live here. And he said, before he came, that he thought living in NYC would be an interesting chapter to add to his life. So at least he's been looking at it positively. And I'm sure he misses his friends and lots of things up in Canada, but I really think he's mostly been happy.

And we are actually in Tennessee right now, visiting my dad. We just took an overnight trip to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, where we went climbing. Climbing is something Scott is super into, so I'm really happy we did this. I know NYC is not a place where he can do all the outdoorsy things he loves.

Awesome news about your AP. Have you decided if you're going to attend that wedding?

Congrats Aly, I hope the wedding was awesome.

OOOOOO the annoyance.

Some late July filers getting EAD rejected as there is a new form even though it states on the old form that it doesn't expire until 8/31/08. This was the same version I downloaded from USCIS and sent. So guess I'll get my EAD rejection in the next few weeks too.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

wow, really?

do you have a link to the proper form that should be used? we're about to send all our stuff off...

man, that really sucks!!!!!

we still have to prepare for our interview, it's coming up in a hurry.....

oh, and we met aly in tombestone yesterday and shared a whole lot of rum&cokes in the saloon. i can't find the cable for my camera, but maybe aly can upload the picture to share the proof!

after much searching calling and tranferred calls I found out EAD should be fine. The July filers possibly had the form from before late may when it was updated.

....and round 2 is go!!!

Got my NOA1's today for AOS and EAD
