*runs screaming from the thought of The Evil in Worcestershire Sauce*

in other news, we got an RFE today

but not for the medical stuff, as I thought we might; they asked for Dave's tax returns and pay slips to prove income... they weren't mentioned in the checklist here on VJ, but I guess we should have thought to include them...

Total bummer on the RFE. At least its an easy thing to gather and send in, so hopefully it won't hold you up too much.

congratz debz!

everybody is having a great weekend, nobody is online

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I'm here

but still having a good weekend

made pancakes this morning, for Dave and his step-son, who came over for breakfast... nice

[StillThePrettiest 3]

oh, and I had biometrics yesterday; reasonably quick and painless

so of course, it was the ONLY step in the sorry process where I was offered a comment card

Well I have a moody husband who won't speak to me, won't tell me what is wrong and jumps down my throat whenever I try to say anything and I don't know what is wrong

[StillThePrettiest 3]

sounds like he needs a kick in the pants

[weedebz 0]

or maybe a kick somewhere else!

Congratulations Susie

Hopefully the moody husband is in better mood today or he is gonna be in trouble!

I went to DMV to show them my new stamp that I have now, which shows I can legally be here for longer than 60 days or whatever and so it looks like they will finally print out my driver´s license They said they weren´t able to give me the DL when I passed the test cuz my K1 stamp was about to expire soon. But now they say I should receive the DL soon so I will finally be able to walk around without carrying the passport all the time

Was considering applying for AP and EAD maybe around December again since my current ones expire in summer next year and if it takes them as long as before to get me another one again... Because I am thinking my AOS file is sitting under the thickest pile of dust somewhere so noone wants to even touch it and I am not sure there is anything I can do about it

Hey Gretchen´s belly is pretty small. They tell me my belly is small which I think it´s not cuz to me it looks huge but Gretchen´s belly is like half size my size We went to do the hospital tour and it was really nice.

It's ok - we got to the bottom of it - after me saying he had been snippy for three days and that he wouldn't talk to me blah blah blah he finally realised that maybe it is because of his impending inspection at work... which is due to happen sometime before the end of next month. It's a real big deal to him and I think it got on top of him more than he realised. We had some tears and then we spent the night on the sofa watching Lost and drinking red wine - it was rather nice as I am feeling yucky at the moment (thank goodness for the sticky heat patches mum sent me!).

Now we have to go spend a small fortune getting Daisy her booster injection for Feline Leukemia...

What are sticky heat patches for?

So I was wondering how Aly´s mom has adjusted to living alone. Is she feeling better about it now?

hi there!

how is everybody?

don't worry about the AOS sitting underneath the biggest pile! ours was one of the very last february-filer-packages to be processed. everybody already had their greencards since months, and we still didn't even have our interview notice.

but then, at once, the letter is there, and everything seems to be so stress-free and small.

ah, aly, I'm sorry that Jeremy is having a rough time!

I really want to win the lottery. things got so expensive, we somehow manage to barely live on our both incomes, the plan of having kids next year got postponed, we just can't afford it. breaks my heart.

Sticky heat patches are great for tummy cramps - kinda like a hot water bottle that lasts for hours I think mum is doing ok as well now - she's got more used to it, and like any adjustment, while things seem empty for a while, you soon find things to fill your time - she has been keeping really busy and I think she needs a break tbh!!!

Agnes - I totally understand where you are coming from... everything seems to cost so much at the moment and with me not working it is even harder. If you move back East like you planned though to a different State, mightn't things be a bit cheaper? I know that some States further east are a lot cheaper in terms of cost of living so maybe there is still hope I think it is always difficult to plan children as well - I don't think we will ever be able to afford them but we'll have them anyway because we'll find ways to work around it Not for a little while though yet

How have you been anyway? I take it you won't be able to make it to our Hallowe'en party? Maven is coming which is cool but we'll miss you and Eric!!! Maybe New Year's Eve you'll be able to make it
