Hi Gennyangel,

Congrats on your POE and welcome to Hawaii.

I've not been very active lately. Spent a month vacationing in California and just had some visitors here.

Getting ready to file for AOS soon.

How's everyone else doing?

Hey Greg,

Hi Joe,

I can't believe you are still stuck in AP. That is so unreasonable. Is it time to get your congressman involved?

We are fine. Hopefully we will be filing for AOS tomorrow. We are waiting for the I-693 vaccination supplement from the civil surgeon. Hopefully we get it today and can put the package in the mail tomorrow. It's just as complicated as the original I-129 filing!

Hello to all in the November filers group!

Some news to report since I started this thread back in November of 2008! I have been in AP since April of 2009 and they just called my gal to go back for a second "interview" on Jan. 14th. I hope this wait of over 8 months in AP may come to an end- we'll see...

I hope all is well for you guys,
