I have to work ALL weekend :ranting: I hate not having a day off! Sometimes I wonder if the money is really worth it???

I am looking for a new job and I can't get paid less to support my lifestyle. So to me its worth it to work at the after school program and summer school. But really I couldn't see myself working the entire week straight I need a break. How do you do it Rhonda?

It sucks :angry: I am here right now and not happy about it at all. The problem is I've looked for other jobs and I can't find anything in my salary range (not counting the overtime). So I'm stuck for right now because the bills gotta be paid <_<

The interview process was a little nerve racking, we were interviewed separately in a private room She asked us questions such as how we met, how many times I visited, when we got married, where we got married. She asked my husband where I lived, my mom's name. who filed for me, what I did for a living etc. Since my hubby and I were together the night before she asked us what time my plane came in, if he picked me up. what we had for dinner, what I wore to bed....

She didn't even ask for proof of the relationship

Wow! It seems like more and more people are getting interviewed in those private rooms :huh: I guess that would be nicer than talking thru a piece of glass. They sure asked you a lot of personal questions!

The reason she didn't ask for more proof is because you were there with him. YOU are the best proof there is :yes:

Congrats on getting the Visa :dance:

I am planning on going to see Marlon during Spring Break and I need help in finding some cheap air fare! Can anyone point me in a general direction please? I am going nuts and missing him so bad and thankfully that is 1 week I can take off of work!

I don't remember where you live, but Spirit has had really good fares lately to Mobay - I know from Detroit they're $129 each way. You can also try sidestep.com which will search the lowest fares on all the travel websites.

OMG!!!

Hello all. I just discovered this site and WOW, what a great resource!! I wish I would of found it sooner. Anyway, I just returned from Jamaica and my body went into shock when i got off that plane (Chicago) to feel this freezing weather. However, I found delight when I reached home to find my NOA2 approval in the mailbox!!! Now my mind is racing with all the things I must do/think about now. Just a few questions...I know the embassy has moved and some of the policies have changed..how will my fiance receive packet #3? will he get a phone call? mail notification or will he need to pick it up from the embassy? I hope this is the right place to post...I'm new here so any guidance would be appreciated.
