Oy vey. What happened to people just being nice and not needing to add snotty comments? Or at the very least, not saying anything at all.

Been a member for over two years, rank has it's privileges and once the ink is dry on your membership application you can be snotty too. LOL

if passport photos that are $2 cheaper makes it easier for you ... you may want to re-evaluate your financial plan. this should be the simple, no-brainer part of your I-129F application as there are many more costs heading your way.

Exactly. After buying a round trip ticket the Philippines and spend what it costs to live there for two weeks, buying a couple photos was not a financial investment that concerned me. In fact back then cost wasn't the main concern as just finding someone that took those damn 3/4 view photos. Switching to the regular passport type photo was one of the best things they have done since switching over from INS.

Well thanks for giving me permission to be snotty at a later date, but I highly doubt I'll take you up on it. Helpfulness is what people come to this forum for. Not to be knocked-down in an already stressful process.

But, if that's the attitude that bakes your cookie, have fun.

:time: haha, I always wanted to use this one!!

Come on, guys, peace please!

If you don't worry about a couple dollars more or less in your pockets, that's cool, but if you ARE glad about having them, that's just as great!!!

Makes me think about values...

Yes, but the profile doesn't help the statistics of the website.

If you look at my profile it's all there.

Bless me father for I have sinned. LOL

Here's to hoping we don't cross-paths on this forum anymore.

Good day and good luck.

cass,

A good and valid question.

Here's another - having suffered one beating why invite a second, and then a third?

Yodrak

Oy vey. What happened to people just being nice and not needing to add snotty comments? Or at the very least, not saying anything at all.

....

I know, I should know better.

Hence why I'm moving on.

Tis just sad to me that this place is a place for help.

But I guess there are always bad apples, eh?

Thank you.

I sent in photos for AOS, (you will get to that quite quickly, once you get here) then I was sent for a 2nd biometrics to have a pic taken. The UCSIS person there said the procedure had changed and they now take an electronic one, so I dont know if this is common.

Just in case you decide to get a whole sheet, just because of EAD and AOS in the future.

July 5, 2005 Married Las Vegas

AOS Process

Aug 5, 2005 AOS Sent as K2 Teenage Son arrived on August 6

NOA 1 arrived dated Aug 12, 2005 number on it differs by 1 digit from that on reverse of check so USCIS site now reflects the process

K2 needs EAD before SSN number will be assigned
