Oh Joe and Valeria,

No war right now, say a little prayer and keep it away from the DOG!!! LOL

Sounds great. So what's next, when does she get to come to US?

We still just have NOA1 and waiting, which is ok, cause we would like

the interview to be first of June, so mom and dad can go with no

work issues. We are good, talk everyday via skype, keep gathering

proof for interview and sooooo...... We are so excited for you 2. Finally

going to be together in one place for ever.

Congrats again Joe and Valeria! Valeria get on the PLANE!!!!

Joe, it's great to hear that Valeria got her replacement Visa, even though it was quiet a journey. She needs to keep a copy of her vaccination record which will be needed for the medical part of the AOS filing. Also, if she has a copy of the medical exam, that's good to keep too. It's not needed, but sometimes people get an RFE for a full medical, even though the "sealed" one is submitted at POE.

We're very happy for you Joe. Hope Valeria can join you soon.

Ha, I know! I think it will be late June- early July, as her son is in school in Colombia until then. But, I get nervous thinking about another few months wait... I will probably head there in May to visit. Let us know when the NOA2 arrives- we've both been at this way too long!

Hi Joe,

We actually arrived in So Cal this past week. Heading into OC tomorrow morning to look for short term apt rentals. Continuing the job search for the next three months, now as a "local" applicant.

Will you be accompanying Valeria for her trip to the US? You must be so excited!

Hi Joe,

I don't log in much anymore, but still here.

How are things? What's your current status? Hope all is well with you and Valerie.

Living in Irvine now. Got an assignment with your former employer and working out of their Irvine office. Life is good!
