Jac,

Congrats on your NOA1, hope everything goes fast and smooth!

Em&Ed;

Hope you get some news soon, I wonder what's goin'on?

As for me, Pieter arrived on Tuesday and everything was super smooth and easy @ POE Chicago. A couple of questions and that was it, really cool. Now our next milestone is our wedding, on 06/16 And we have done nothing yet!!!

Hope everyone else is doing fine!!!

hugs

Hi Edi,

And did you ever started the spring cleaning? Great to hear that everything went smoothly and that you guys are finally together. Have fun on the wedding planning. And g/l with all the paperwork that comes after that.

Glad to hear that things are moving forward for people. Quick update Wilmot and I sent in our AOS and EAD April 14th and received both of our noa 1 April 16th. He had his biometrics on May 18th. So we are were Em and Ed are just waiting.

Sorry I haven't been posting, but I had my laptop out of order for about 4 months. I should be able to check in and send updates from this point forward.

I think Wilmot is really sick of not working. He is still volunteering 3 nights a week, but he really would like to be working.

Hey Jac!

I did spring cleaning in record time, two days before he arrived But looked all neat and now it's messy again with him unpacking stuff. He was soooo good, brought only 2 suitcases! Wow. I think the same will be with my wedding plans, we are so slow.......

Rhonda, it's nice to see you! Good luck with your petition, I am hoping Pieter doesn't get bored too soon... It will be some time before he can work...

Hope everyone else is doing fine!

Hi Rhonda ....Welcome back! Good to hear things are moving along for you guys! I kinda now how Wilmot must feel right now. Even though I have a part-time job going on, I rather wish I was working full-time. I've been applying for jobs like crazy, but sofar no luck .

Hi Edie .....Good to hear you and Pieter are now finally together! Are you guys plainning a big wedding or just a small one? Good luck with all the preparations for it! As for the reason why it takes so long for a decision on my AOS.....I wish I knew. The last time they worked on in was some time in April.....unfortunatly it doesn't say what it was they did.....I've bene reading lots of info on here and I guess I must be stuck in some sort of name check. From what I've read if you have a first or last name that is very common the name chec can take quite a while and my (new) last name is a name that atleast 4 million + other Americans have.....

[jackybeertje 0]

HAHA good thing my new last name is not so common, at least not on the mainland ;-)

[SoL. 0]

Hmmmm since Pieter's name is not so common, I hope he goes thru that name check quick when our time comes...

I hope you get news soon from that AOS Em!

We are going to have e very small wedding, family + judge only. His mom + broer will come and my mom, broer + auntie I'm so happy! The big day is 06/16

Hope everyone else is doin' good!!

UP

How's evereyone doing?

Edie, only 10 more days to go.....spannend!

[darkhorse 0]

I am doing ok I guess.

We started all over again with our visa journey.

Some assh*le at CSC made a major mistake and denied our application.

my fiance contacted the USCIS several times since we got the denial, but the only thing they had to say was: "We are sorry for you, there is nothing we can do for you, you just have to refile now."

We lost almost 3 months because of some dumbass that doesn't know what he is doing!!!

[Em&Ed 0]

Darkhorse .....Wow, that sucks that you guys have to start all over again! Fingers crossed that everything will go ok with the new application! Good luck!

[darkhorse 0]

I will keep the Dutchies Up to date about it...

[jackybeertje 0]
