Don't you love it when...

You get offered a contract position in Canada and they fly you to Toronto once a week for a couple of months, all expenses paid! I get to visit my family and friends, hug my niece, revel in the novelty of seeing Ontario licence plates, shop at Jacob, eat at Fresh, walk around in a place where everyone is nonchalant about the snow, eat Canadian yogurt. Yay! Oh yeah, and work.

Well, 2 1/2 weeks less than a year after I sent in my I-751 application I am finally approved for my 10 year green card! Yay! On to citizenship now - the window opens in 2 weeks. I'm still waiting for tax transcripts from the IRS so it will be a few days after the anniversary but finally, good news! I was so very discouraged about all of this last week and wrote my Senator asking for his help. They made the inquiry this Monday (I wrote them Friday), and today I get my approval. I think it helped even though we were already in the window - their inquiry got the file off of the desk where it was acting like a paper weight.

Congrats Kathryn! What a long wait. It must be a relief to stop thinking about it!

you lose 5 pounds but you have no idea how ...

My good news - got married a week ago Friday, got the marriage certificate today in the mail, am officially filing the I-130 on Monday. Yahoo!!! Yippee!!! Hallelujah!!! I've been dancing around like a 6 year old girl that has to pee. Ah... finally we can get this show on the road. Now we can move on to the part you've all been through, or are all going through - the waiting. Who would think I'd be looking forward to the waiting?

Congratulations! I had to chuckle at your description though - how cute! Welcome to the wait - may it be shorter than you expect! (But don't forget in case it isn't - good things are worth waiting for).

...Your husband is really worried about the stability of his job, particularly because you aren't allowed to work yet, and you tell him that everything is going to be just fine. You tell him that you're going to be able to work soon and not to worry. Then he comes home, takes you outside to see the beautiful rainbows in the sky and hands you two envelopes. One containing your AP and the other your EAD!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! I knew everything would be okay!

Now I just need to find a job!

You get to spend 2 weeks with your man from the states, and one of the nights you go up on a hill to look over the city and he presents you with the prettiest engagement ring you have ever seen!

He has all the paperwork so hoping to have the K1 officially filed sometime next week
