Grats dillion!

hey all still job hunting and I feel like I am failing Kai. I have to wait three months before a new boss will say ya she is permenant so taking on a second job which my doctor is mad about due to health issues...BUT he is more important.

I am soooooooo sick of the increase for 2 people...in idaho GOOD luck finding something that will make the 19120 now...thats BS.....it SHOULD go by state...if they looked at where i live jobs do not make that much. min wage is 725 for petes sake and a good job is almost 2 hours away

SOOOOOO im a looking I want to get this aos started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear you're having trouble, Meri. Even in our area, the economy is suffering. People just aren't spending or hiring. It's not uncommon for the whole week to pass at Michaels and none of my floral arrangements have sold (which is bad for my job security). I keep asking for more hours (to cashier, work the sales floor, or anything), but still stuck at 10.5 a week... it's bad.

Andy and I are already talking about moving so he more job opportunities when his EAD comes. We're also going to file a request for a fee waiver since we can't afford the $1010 and desperately need him to be able to work; thank goodness we have my father to joint sponsor. A lady here on VJ told me her fee waiver request was approved when she was barely covering her monthly expenses and told me the kinds of documentation she sent in. I know it's a chance, but I have a hard time believing I'd be denied in this economy with the documentation I can show (student loan debt, lease showing rent, utility bills, my sad Michaels paychecks, etc).

Just a few more days and Andy will be here permanently. Most of the wedding arrangements are done now; I found a dress on Friday (for $150), ordered a cake, picked our ceremony music, etc. I think his jaw is going to drop when he sees me, because I've never worn anything like this dress before in my life. I just need to find an ivory veil with a ribbon edge. They wanted $69 for it at David's Bridal, which I knew is so overpriced. Michaels has one, but it is white!

Meri, do you know if either of the consignment shops in Lewiston have bridal accessories?

I am ridiculously excited! 2 days and 7 hours till he's here, and another week till the wedding. Weeee! I will let you all know how his POE goes. Hopefully they don't "lose" his medical like they have for two of you.

Have him make sure his name is right on the I-94 when he enters, the same as it is on the visa. The POE officer screwed ours up and it has made getting a SSN a hassle.

It is cool that he will be here soon.

You deserve to be really excited and happy! you have worked so hard for this day and been through so much. Now is your turn to enjoy all of your hard work!!!

Another piece of advice - not sure if you can control this but the POE officer wrote something that looked like "K4" instead of "K1" on the I94. It delayed Jeremy's ssn process for 3 weeks. By the time SSA checked with DHS it was too late to get a CA ID. Now Jeremy has to wait for the EAD. Just something to look out for. So close!!!!

Thanks guys. I told Andy to do his best to look at his I-94 he receives for accuracy. I already know he's going to be a zombie again, so I just hope the people at Salt Lake get it right. He has a really long layover, so he can just take his time at POE and stop for dinner before the last leg.

It's like waiting for Christmas morning when I was a kid.

Salt Lake? Is he coming from Paris? How much of a layover?

It's funny it takes us like a month to get a page of posts.

Hamburg -> Paris -> Salt Lake City -> Spokane.

He has ~5 hours in SLC... which is a lot, but was unavoidable. I'd rather have him there longer than worrying about running to the next plane. I told him to set his watch alarm though, because last time he had a lengthy layover he nearly missed his flight.

These last few hours are making me crazy! I went over a friend's house tonight to try to get my mind off of it. I am just so damn excited!
