My status just changed to ISSUED!! Wooooooohooooooo!!! I will be leaving next friday!! ❤️??THANK YOU EVERYONE for being the most amazing help and support system!!!!!!

[Brewlin 52]

Thanks! Well, initially we started the process in Nov since we had a buyer then, but he pulled out in January . Our profit numbers need to look better and after the summer season it will. Then hopefully we can sell quickly...

[Toddandcamilla 34]

Ohh bummer!! How long can that process be? Im sure you can reschedule the interview with no problem at all!

[Brewlin 52]

You know, I met my husband while he lived in Berkeley. Then we moved to Monterey. We got married in 2001 in Santa Cruz, when he was 21 and a community college student. lol. Soon after I joined the same community college.

Well I really liked North Carolina, but we're glancing at Florida. No income tax, low corporation tax. Sunshine. warm air. Warm ocean. I'm in. At 40, I rather be poor in a warm place than a cold one. lol But we'll be landing in Chicago to stay with my in-laws 3 hours south west of there to get started.

Cool! I love biking in Berkeley!! Florida sounds warm hehe. Im not good at the humid weather. My new sister in law lives in Daytona. We have been there a few times! I love that we can swim in the ocean without being cold! California ocean is cold hehe! How will you guys do with business overthere?

I ended up in Florida too (Orlando). I love it here. At some point I would love to live on the coast though.

co grats!!! ?how has the whole process been for you guys the past few years? We are a few people in here who all are gonna be in it for the next few years soon! If you have time someday I for one would love to hear how its been with case work etc! Would be cool if you got your citizenship on Independence day!!! ??? camilla copenhagen!

It has been really easy. Just don't lose your green card (I lost my wallet). It is really expensive to replace. The best advice I can give looking bak is this.

-Make sure you file as married even if you don't both live in the U.S. yet (If you are married). You will need to provide three years' worth of tax records later for citizenship.

-Keep an extra copy of everything you send USCIS. They tend to want the same documents over and over. (Proof of finacial co-mingeling, Copies of marriage certificates, birth certificates etc.)

-When you need your tax records later, you can request them for free from the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

I don't know, I am just freezing 10 months a year in Sweden, and during 9 months of the year I am absolutely miserable here. Cold, dark, dark..then more cold.

In NC I only had some issues with the hot humidity for about 2 months, but it had a pretty easy remedy - go inside and I'd be freezing again. lol Or jump into the ocean.

Camilla, we're not sure, either we're applying for jobs or starting up again, is so much depends on what type of financing we can get.

I emailed the embassy to reschedule, I asked for a date between September and October and a longer notice than 3 weeks in advance, since I am moving a family of four, not just myself. It's better to ask than not right? Perhaps someone there is in a really good mood today.
