It’s funny because we ware talking about the same!

For the moment I’m going to Florida but we are seriously thinking about the possibility of moving to Sweden! Things are much easier here!

What scares me the most is that florida have hurricane seasons, wish is really scary , and I want my future children to grow up in a safe place!

It's scary living in any country. Were looking into everything and going to decide whats best in the long run. Each country has there pluses and minuses. I certainly looking forward to the heat there. Lara said to me yesterday it was 100 degrees there lol, I will crisp.

She would move here in a heartbeat if it wasn't for her kids. The air is cleaner, gun laws are strict, electricity is alot cheaper. My bill for this month was $80 compared to her $280. She would get free health here, the immigration process is only 3-4 weeks here and alot cheaper, plus you dont need advance parole.

As I said it's not easy to what to decide on. We will make the decision within 2 months I would think.

You are right! I love Florida it’s like paradise on earth, but I’m just not used to hurricanes we don’t have that here!

Where is Laura’s hometown?

It’s getting expensive in America! Free health care it’s the most important thing! That is way we ware talking about moving to Sweden, I have epilepsy and I depend on my medicine to stop my self of having seizures I’m lucky enough to be able to have my family sending me my medicine to America when I move, at least until we get everything in order!

But after that I don’t know how much I will have to pay every month to get my medicine.

Like you said before it’s scary living in another country!

She lives in Summerville, just outside Charleston in South Carolina. I can't understand the health policy over in the States. For such a rich country they rip the eyes out if you. I was in Lousiana for 4 months and that was enough for me lol. Nothing against Lousiana but it certainly was an eye opener in different ways. I've been in a few countrys over the years and Lousiana certainly isn't on the top of my list. Sorry to hear you have epilepsy, must be hard on you that.

I can relate Alex, but you're in Florida - have your SO look at local pharmacies around town - the big name ones, like Wal*mart etc. Most big stores are doing the $4 generics and you don't even need insurance. I'm a diabetic, and with all my meds I'd be well into the $200 range each month, but my Glucophage is only $4 for a 30 day supply. Just get the name of the medication you're on and have your SO check with the pharmacies...

I'm definitely a big supporter to National Healthcare.

Hello my fellow-filers! How is everybody doing this week? Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to how kill time during this at times unberable wait. I tried working a lot, but had to stop that, cause my brain was about to explode from all the writing (I'm doing freelance writing on financial and stock market issues). Maybe I just need a vacation, but that would be no fun at all without Dave

Hello my May friends!

Thank you Jason& Sara for the info!

William;

Thank you for the kind words. I completely agree with you! Going to the hospital here don’t cost anything! It’s amazing the prices that you have to pay in America when you get sick ! I remember when my heart stopped when I got a really bad seizure, (in florida) we had to pay the ambulance 500$ ….

Does anyone know how much it will cost me, to get health insurance? Because we are planning on having a baby (soon hopefully)…

Ana&D

Congratulations on your first Touched!!!

We all know how painful it is going true this journey without our love ones! But we are almost there!

I miss my John terrible, 14 month’s ago was the last time we hugged each other!

Hang in there!!!

14 months... I should stop complaining right there! Girl, you are one strong person, and thank you so much for the words of support. I so needed them today

As to health insurance, I have little experience but will share what I know . I was able to get an insurance for a 18 months for a total of almost $800. But that was probably a student discount (I was on J1 program). Now, from what I hear purchasing insurance can be really expensive. If your hubby-to-be does not have insurance as work benefits, that is something to consider during your job search. Sometimes taking a lower-paying job can be compensated by the benefits. Most companies I worked for offered insurance for both employees and their families. Usually such benefits are available after 90 days of employment.

Thank you sweetheart!

Yes 14 months is a long time but I know you miss your love as much as I do!!!

We have to be grateful that we are Vermont filers! ( feel so bad for some people that have being waiting for almost a year!)

Have a wonderful evening !

I was touched May 20th.

..edited to add.. that the comments on my times line read...."Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between July 27, 2008 and August 4, 2008"

I'm certain that when I first plugged in all the info onto my timeline .. it gave me a adjudicated date much later than the end of July/early August... now it doesn't seem so far off.. since June 15 is only days away.. I alos know not to read the estimated dates as gospel, but it's still nice.

thoughts?

You actually made me go and look at my own timeline, and SURPRISE, it's showing earlier date. I kind of forgot to check that one, thinking that we are still in somewhat early stage. Hm... Maybe the seeming to slow down VCC is one a speed up agian? I'm surely hoping. Ok... this speculation is raising my hopes up again and I was almost fine with moving to the States by October, now am thinking maybe we'll get lucky....

Hi Alex. All quiet here. Still no touch this end, but that's the way it goes lol. Hows things with you today?

[Jenni and Bo 0]

Hi everyone!

It's good to see everyone still happy and patiently waiting No news from our end, although, they do say "no news is good news" - so I'm hoping VSC is just gonna plow through a bunch at a time

The weather is really starting to get gorgeous here Poor Bo though - it's been between 38-45 celcius (high 90's, 100's F) all week down there, and him with a broken A/C my poor hot baby LOL

I went to a good friend of mines' wedding on Saturday and it was so beautiful! They had it outside and it was the perfect day for it...makes me excited for my own (hopefully) soon

<3 Jen

Afternoon, everybody! I'm back to happy-patiently-waiting-mood . Hope everyone is doing fine! Ever since our first touch 2 days ago, no news.

Alex, am sharing your joy for approvals from Vermont!

Jen, o, my! Poor, poor Bo! When I lived in Florida my rommie once froze our AC and it was just unberable! Hope he gets it fixed sooeln.

It's wedding season in Ukraine, and everywhere I go there are happy couples celebrating new unions. Makes me sad and excited at the same time. Well, I just visited my dress maker to discuss my dress for the civil cermony (I really wanted something light and summery, and at the same time slightly formal). Am so excited that she agreed to work on the design I found, even though it is kind of complicated. Now, I just have to find suitable fabric. Can't believe my luck, I'll have an A-listish dress for a very tiny fraction of the cost .

Anybody else bringing the dress from home?

Ana

William;

Things are just wonderful here, we are expecting a baby in the family one of this days! So we are all so existed!

How are you and Laura doing?

Jenni;

38-45 that is HOT, god I’m so jealous! The weather here is horrible we only have between 10 – 15 dgr.

Cant imagine driving in the heat without a A/C …

Anna;

I know how you feel it’s the same thing here! Everyone is getting married and I feel bad because I should be happy for them! But I just cant right now!

I miss my john to much and want to get married to! NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I’m getting my dress from Portugal, my grandmother live there and she is paying for the dress!

I haven’t decide what color I want any suggestions!?

We are getting married on the beach.

Have good one
