My wife and I are going back to the Motherland on September 22 and we have to stay there until after thanks giving cause I gotta work over there in Binh Duong and Thailand for those 2 and a half months. My wife didn't think we would have to go back there so soon. She got her Resident Alien card and her Social Security card. Does she need anything else to go back in beside her passport and when she comes back to US does she have to do anything special? She went over on a CR-1 visa.

I realize I work too much... She doesn't really want to go back to the motherland that much. She just can't handle me go over there for so long so she decided to go back with me and visit her family at the same time. I think after she has our baby she decided she will stay in the US until our baby is at least 2-3 years old.

What I will miss is christmas time in HCMC... more celebration than in US...
