except i dont know how to tell them that i dont like turkey haha! is this a problem???

YOU SHOULD BE BURNED AT THE STAKE FOR SAYING THAT!!!... but on the positive side it's very likely there will be a wide variety of foods not made of turkey and possibly even an alternate meat of some kind, just say no thanks to anything you don't want to eat, you are unlikely to starve on thanksgiving. You'll probably get a strange look from most people for not liking turkey but there was bound to be at least one person in the world who wouldn't like it. The alternate is to ask for just a small piece instead of turning it down... then the shame of disliking turkey can remain a secret, and, you can try a little, you might find that the turkey you had in the past just wasn't prepared the same way and may like it (that seems unlikely but if all you've ever eaten was processed "turkey" which is so salted it might as well be ham... it's not the same).

Just go with the pumpkin fluff.. WAY better than the turkey ....

im scared to ask what the pumkin fluff is??? lol! dont get to further without being warned I AM GULLABLE ! haha! :blush:

Pumpkin and marshmallow.... THE best!

Pumpkin and marshmellows... that sounds a little off to me. There is pumpkin pie usually topped with whip cream... or there is sweet potatoes which are often cooked with brown sugar and/or marshmellows... of course both being orangish brown they end up looking similar... but heck, maybe you just have a different recipe!

Turkey and chicken have definitely got their own flavors... but yeah... if someone asks what turkey taste like... chicken or crocodile might be the best answers... I've haven't had crocodile... yet...

Hey Emm!!

As a former cruise ship employee... I think he should bring it just in case. Check with the ship that you're cruising on (which I think should be the Norwegian Jewel.... and then you can meet my Xuxu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to be sure. I know that our US citizens didn't HAVE to have one, but I think things have changed recently. Okay, have to run to work... good luck with the sponsor! Boa sorte!!

RFE? Oh well, they will send you what exactly they need from you guys. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes it is just a missing photograph (that they might have lost) or some form filled out wrong. Give them what they need and you will be approved very soon thereafter!! At least your case is in process now. Congrats!

It's just a bit of a kick in the teeth.. We've waited so long to get this far, way longer than the average filing time and then they come back with this. We sent everything, photos, plane tickets, ring reciept, passport copies. We had a lawyer sort out our forms (big mistake) so I just don't know what on earth they could want.....

I'm sorry to moan, I know some people have waited way longer than us, I'm just really shocked that they could want anything else from us.... At least it looks like they've made it on to us May filers still waiting - they must've been sitting in a box somewhere all together so I'm sure the approvals will now start rolling in...

No need to apologize. Of course, everybody starts worrying over an RFE. But I think this is serious in only rare cases. Maybe the USCIS officer just had a bad day and wanted to be stricter. Who knows.

I am also convinced that the end of may filers still waiting were sitting alltogether in some box. You could see these approvals pop up on igor's list all last week. I am happy for you guys though that they found your box. I hope mine is not going to sit in a dusty box like that. :thumbs:
