No news here either Liz, we are still waiting as well. I think the California Service Center has decided to take a permanent vacation from their jobs. However, Johnny looked online a while back, and it said they touched our case towards the end of May -probably just to move it to another pile where it will sit there forever. :bonk:

At least you got a touch....lol! Mine's been since 3/18/10 without one... :bonk:

I'm not sure what the heck CSC is doing but they need to get moving...this is getting old!

Hugs, Liz

Agreed, getting a move on would be nice.

It's especially frustrating having Johnny's brother in the house knowing he has his green card already and he filed AFTER Johnny. Oh and he went to the DMV yesterday and the woman made his drivers license valid until 2018!!!! That's longer than his green card is valid for!!! I do not understand how someone could make a mistake like that... although this is the same place that gave a man his drivers license knowing he was completely blind in his left eye. Crazy.

Heading to the Netherlands tomorrow for 3 weeks. No interview date yet but being apart for 6 months has driven me crazy. I'll arrive on Mark's birthday. (it will be the first of his birthdays we spend together)

OH! And a Happy belated 4th of July!!! Hope everyone had something fun to do!

Hi Everyone! It its indeed very sad that The Netherlands lost yesterday :crying: I was pretty sure they would win and actually made a couple of bets!! My husband supported Spain, just because he wanted to give me a hard time :bonk: hahaha....

I got to tell you I am a bit nrevous since tomorrow I have a job interview and I am still waiting for my green card! I didn't want to wait anymore to start looking for a job so when I saw a good opportunity I sent my CV and after a phone interview that went well I have a real interview tomorrow! Im very exctited and happy that this is going well, but I just hope that my green card gets here soon!...

I know I don't write much in this forum, but I do look for info once in a while and I love to see how people keep on updating their cases even after they get the K1 approved...

Have a great week everyone! it is extremely hot in Miami... oohhh my mother in law is coming for a visit this thursday :dance: (from San Antonio) :D I really like her!

Hi all,

I haven't posted in awhile. John and I have been busy getting all moved into our house in Tx. We finally have it looking like a home and had our good friends Liz and Pat (yes from here, lol) over for a 4th of July bbq. Currently, we are back in California getting the rest of our stuff to move back to the new house. There is still LOTS to do at the new property, but we are making progress. We have about 7 acres that needs mowing, some fencing that needs to be put up, horse stalls and some sort of arena for the horses. John also needs transportation, so we are going to get a truck once I have a job. I have been looking a lot, but there hasn't been much out there so far. Hope that will change once we get back home.

We are so happy to be living a normal married life instead of a Skype life lol. We have our minor annoyances, of course, but for the most part, life has been great.

I read through these forums a lot about couples who have fought so hard through the USCIS to be together, only to find out their spouse isn't who they thought they were, and how unhappy their married life is. It is so sad, but serves to remind me just how incredibly lucky I am to have a husband who loves and respects me and, btw, is an amazing cook. lol.

Anyway...just wanted to share my thoughts on this Tuesday morning with y'all (I am learning Texan, hehehe), and to say hi!

Did you also file for the work authorization card or just the green card? I'm curious about your job interview and how that went! Keep us posted! My husband is also still waiting on his green card and he filed back in January!

I bet you guys were surrounded by Spain supporters down in Miami! We went to an Irish pub for the game here just so that way the crowd would be mainly Dutch supporters! haha

I've read about that as well here on the forums, but I believe the people in those cases were more often than not being scammed from the very beginning.

Good luck on finding a job and settling into your new home in Texas!

Hi, I applied for the I765 at the smnae time that I requested the I485. I have taken a look at the timelines from the USCIS and it seems that it takes 56 average to receive the Employment Authorization, here in Miami. I know someone ho got it 30 days after the Biometrics!! :wow: so Im really counting on getting it soon.

Thanks for asking about my interview, it actually went pretty well and Im feeling confident, I will hear if I get the job in about 2 weeks, so this will give me a bit more time to get the emplyment document, I was not asked during the interview if I had my work permit yet so I didn't anything.. IM crozzing my fingers for both things job & green card.

Please let us know when your husband gets his, he has been waiting for a while now, hope he gets it soon....

Ohhh and about the match, it was quite exciting! there were indeed plenty of Spanish followers but since I live just 2 blocks away from the Dutch consulate and the people who work at the Consulate live close by there were plenty of people supporting The Netherlands and wearing Oranje T-Shirts... it was cool!! :dance:
