Good morning from a sleepy FinnLove! Ms. Sheka, let's hope for good news!!!!!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

:lol: He is a huge lacrosse fan, which is how we met oddly enough. His favorite summer league team in Canada is the Brooklin Redmen, so there you go. He was not very thrilled that I used it, cause I "turned him into a girl". :lol: Men! :whistle::jest:

MsSheka puts a smile on my face every day, at least once a day! Honestly those smileys are way too funny!

FinnLove, feel better! :energy:

Hello,

My husband filed I-130 for me last 2008 .. He became a USC last June of this year and he upgraded it .. Today, we received the Approval notice for the I-130 ..

I'm currently here in the US and adjusting my status since August of this year (as you can see on my timeline)

We have questions to those who have been in this processing and to those who will know the right thing to be done ..

1 - Can my husband file I-130 now for my child (his stepchild) eventhough I'm in the AOS process? (child is in the Philippines, 6 years old)

2 - How long will the I-130 be approved? (we're still saving money for the visa fee which is $400, plus medical $180+, plus plane ticket $1000+) So we could know

how much time we have to save some money .. my husband and I are planning to go to the Philippines before my child's interview at the embassy there so when

we get back here, we'll be with my child already.

3 - My child's bio father is not listed on my child's birth certificate, would it be a problem?

Thank you all in advance!

God Bless us all (L)

Hey guys :star: i'm in and out today nothing yet still no touches since 09/02/09 so i'm still watching for email and/or text :thumbs: I hope everyone's having a HAPPY FRIDAY!nudie.gif wil chat with you guys later BTW MY HUBBY IS THE BEST!!!!, he just makes this thing seem so easy wonder what i would do if he went one day without calling me :unsure:

I had been checking my case status about 10 times a day and now it's been approved and we're not at the NVC yet I have a void to fill so I'm now keeping an eye on here to see if you have been approved. I hope it comes soon. If you're husband is really as wonderful as you say he is you should research his family tree and I bet you'll find he has a Scottish relative in there somewhere! :lol:
