Welcome home Chris and Gretchen!

[azezohome 1]

hey you guys is it ok if i have been on my job for a short period of time like two months? and i make about $20,000. the reason is because i got in a car accident on october of last year and i was off work until january 25, 2008. I lost my old job because of the accident so i started a new one on January 24, 2008. And i have a doctors note and a police report from the accident as a proof so I guess my question is am I gonna need a co-sponsor because i've only been on my job for a short period of time even though I make enough to support My fiancee and I? please help and thank you in advance.

I have been tracking my package since I figured out how earlier today, and it's already at the airport. It's going to be fun to watch its progress now.

Isn't it?! I loved watching mine

Congrats all around.

Charry completed the CFO Seminar that is a requirement of the Philippines before being allowed to leave.

I have also finally purchased her tickets to the US.

She arrives in San Francisco (SFO) on April 4th at 6:40pm PDT. This is her POE.

She arrives in Boston (BOS) on April 5th at 6:00am EDT.

YAAYY!!! I've updated and highlighted you on the spreadsheet

Visa in hand. We fly today back to Las Vegas. We will be home by 7pm tonight. Finally!

cant wait for the AOS now.

Chris

Oh Chris that is sooo great!!! I am so happy for you - and I know what you mean! AOS seems to be a breeze compared to this... of course I don't want to speak too soon

I haven't looked into AOS at all. It doesn't matter to me how easy or complicated the forms are; we won't be separated during it, so in that way I'm looking at it as being easy as pie.

Yes, pie.

[Jason-Sasha 1]

No. It's a piece of cake.

Congrats CBR!!!! You can track your package to Montreal now! How exciting!

I got my visa approved today too!

CONGRATS!!! That's great news...how did it go?

Anyone looked into shipping into the US (from say, thailand)? Not a whole lot of stuff or anything but maybe like 1 nice sized crate?

With that asked....

Congrats..!!!!

I'm so happy for all of you. I suppose Lek and I could have sent the checklist and DS-230 Pt. I, the photocopy of her passport and the 2 photo's b/4 she actually got "Packet 3" from the Embassy since I was able to down load all of what she needed (and what was actually in Packet 3). By the time I started suggesting we do that... the thing arrives anyway.

I got the notice from NVC with our case number and notice that they would be forwarding the application to the Embassy within a week and 2 weeks later Lek told me that the package had come.

She received my shipment with my copy I129f and the I-134 and everything else on the 14th.

She is sending in the checklist tomorrow. She'll pick up her police certificate this Wednesday.

Her packet 3 from Bangkok Emabssy didn't include the Med Exam froms (I printed them all, including that instruction set of 18 pages, and included it in with what I sent her.

Is there any reason to wait until finding out the interview date b/4 going for the med exam? For any of you who've had the exam (in Bangkok) already did the doctor have the form and know what the process was?

Yes, pie.

I know what you mean - I have looked through it all once and it looks straightforward enough - you just have to collect evidence of a valid marriage - bills in joint names or bills to same address in each of your names to show you live at the same address, joint bank accounts - things that show your lives are entangled. And forms. Easy

I read it as a piece of cake at first so I wondered what you were on about!!! I was going to berate you for thinking that cake was pie but maybe I was just seeing what I wanted to see

Okay, that means it's time for me to look into it then, perhaps. I was hoping we would marry and file for AOS as soon as he moved here b/c we want the EAD and AP as soon as we can get them. Which would mean we won't have anything in both our names yet. Hmm... I wonder if I could add his name now and fake it... lol. No I guess that wouldn't work since they'll know when he's activated the visa and all that.

*sigh*

*trudges over to AOS forums*

I read the guides on here - as I understood it you use the evidence for interview... but I may be wrong - let us know what you find out

[Jeraly 4]

Gratzies to babybluesusie who is flying home with her OH on 25th March They got approooooved!!!

I think you're right Jeraly, makes sense that the proof comes later for the interview. That would be an awful lot of scrambling to get names switched on accounts plus fill out all that paperwork, plus moving here, plus getting married. Too much!!

Babblesgirl: I really enjoyed your reviews and am so glad everything worked out so well for you!!

You're so organized I didn't think you'd have any problems anyway. Congratz!

Yes, after reading the guide and looking at the forms that need to be filled out, that is my impression, that you need that stuff for the interview stage. whew! It sure would be a lot of scrambling! So this is good. I hope we can get all the forms filled out early so that we can just get married and get the copy of our marriage certificate and not have to worry about too much else when we file. Two of our close friends just got engaged and we are both asked to be in the wedding, but it will be in Canada, early this fall, and we could be cutting our timing *really* close depending on when we get an interview. Just another thing to stress about! I'll probably get some flack for saying this, but I really wish they could do some sort of automatic AP for Canadians. I know it'll never happen, and would be unfair, and all that, but... one can have fantasies.

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - yeah I can understand though - it is so close in theory that especially if you live on the border it must be so frustrating to be so close yet so far!!!
