Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 22)

[My4rmylife 0]

Hey Folks! Just checking in---it's been a LONG time!! Congratulations to Bunz on the approval and to MsSheka on your case moving along--it soon come girl! Quick update: Gregory and I are still adjusting to our new way of life together. (I've decided to say "we're" adjusting instead of "his" adjustment cause it's been trying for both of us). We've had a lot of good times, and we continue to have our days, but overall things continue to go better than I had hoped for. What's definitely started to help now is the fact that he is finding stuff to do on his own. A couple of months ago I signed him up for a competitive soccer league because he LOVES to play and misses doing so. Well, he was picked up by a team and their first practice was last weekend! He was like a kid in a candy store--grinning like a cheshire cat from ear to ear! What's even better is that the coach told him that he was the best player on the team, and then proceeded to send out a mass email to the team members saying this very thing and how far my husband and the rest of the team will be able to go in the league this year! Not that he needs this add'l stroking of the ego, but it was good for him and I was proud). So he's doing that on weekends, and games will begin at the end of Feb. He's already enrolled in the GED program at the community college, and is in class 4 days a week. He's managed to navigate the bus system to some degree by himself, which has also been helpful and I think makes him feel more independent. Still not working (but filling out tons of applications), but lo and behold a few minutes ago a message was left on the phone from a manager at PetSmart asking him to call to set up an interview for next week!!!! We just filled that application out last nite, and while it is not the "perfect" job, it's something to hopefully get him started and build up his resume here in the states!! I hope that something comes through soon, because it has definitely been tough. Keep us in your prayers!

that great ... glad things are going well..

Goodmorning yardies, hope everyone is ok and wish you all a good weekend.

However I have a question, our interview is in 3 weeks and I'd like to know if I must have tax trascript, isn't my w-2 and 1040 enough?

Thanks for any responses.

Goodmorn yardies,

i have one question concerning the filing of my step child. in june 09 i filed petition 130 for my wife and included the childs name on section c of that petition. three months later the case is approved by cis. the case is forwarded to nvc that says separate petit for the 4 year old child. now, our interview date is 4 weeks from now and should i as the usc address the c/officer, if ask about the child, that i included the child and that i will file for her immediately.

i went through an agency to help me fill forms and i was illadvised about two separate petit. they say to include the child on sect c of the petit. now, wife and i are planning for plan b which is to file petit for child to send for her to come but that could tek 9 to 12 months i assume.

i realized the forms arent hard to fill out after i took my time to read it. the agency charged me 824 to fill out forms that i completed 95 % by my own knowledge. rip off".......

i also sent the step child berth rcords and passport photos with the petit and it was approved but my wife was given cr 1 status but there was no mention of the child on my wife case. i was told that we could do a separate visa app for the child which my wife is checking about it in kingston.

Well, ladies, I am about to start the ball rolling on something I should've probably done long ago.

For about a year now, I have been stalked via the internet, friends of friends, and just this week, I found out people have found out where I moved to 7 months ago and are now driving by my house frequently. I am getting a little sick of constantly having to deal with this. And I'm getting tired of the words being spouted. So, I have a grade school friend of mine who is a police sargent. I have been chatting with him all day on FB about how someone could've gotten my address. First of all, I KNOW who is behind it. And, her friend is a court reporter who has friends who are lawyers, policemen, the daughter of our city tax collector, and a car dealer. We talked all day about who has access to what information.

Long story, short, I called the Regional Justice Information Center and asked them to run a search on ME and see who accessed my information recently and for what reason they gave. I have to call and make a police report for them to do that search. I called police department and tomorrow, when I am home all day, I will call non-emergency number, have a car come out, and I will start the ball rolling with that report.

I am not sure where I go with the information after this. I have actually been keeping a journal of dates, times, etc. for over a year now of her antics. And, I have a CD of taped conversations where she threatens me, my job, and now this drive by #######. So, whether I go for the restraining order or not, I don't. I do know my reason for not thus far....why make anything worse, just can't get any worse IMO. So, we will see. I do know I want to know who gave out this information and if disciplinary action is in order, I want it done.

So, wish me luck and I will keep you all informed. Right now, I'm feeling better that I can actually do something about it.

Sus, this does have to do with what I talked to you about earlier.

JG do what you have to do. This isn't right. You shouldn't have to live your life this way. Please let us know how you make out in all this. You are a strong women and justice must prevail in this situation.

Yes, I'm going to sign him up for the local soccer league as soon as possible. I also want to seriously pursue getting him signed up to volunteer with this one agency that sends people out to visit with the elderly. He loves old people & was ready to jump on it....only problem is that I inquired around the holidays & we were too busy with out-of-town things to get started. I think I'm going to inquire again & he can start volunteering there.

LOL! Why would he want to give up alla dat?!?

Sounds like you are doing everything you need to do & it's working for you. I definitely needed to give Lehi a little push cause he's kinda same way....if I'm not stressing everything is 'no problem'.

Can't wait to see a baby pic....I bet she's gorgeous!

Yes, I know everyone is giving their opinion from a positive place & that's why I truly appreciate all responses. Oh man does he love his new classes! That's all we talked about the whole lunch time. His first class the teacher is really nice & called on him a lot & all the ESL students were in awe of his accent. The second class, the teacher is not as nice & he felt a little picked on but I told him to just hang in there & soon the teacher will probably give him a break. I don't think hubby likes male teachers as much....they must seem a bit tougher. He already has homework due Monday & we have to buy his textbook (that's all you pay for) & he'll be set. He was so proud & happy to be in a 'real school' just like he's seen on TV (LOL!) & is glad to be going every day. My heart just sang when I heard the change of his heart!

That really sucks JG! How frikkin' ridiculous & petty can you be to send people to drive by & yell juvenile remarks?? I hope you get the outcome you're looking for in this. You need some peace. I wish I lived close....you could send me out to do the same thing to her....I'd do it for you cause I'm just crazy like that! LOL

Me too Ells, i would help jg out in a minute! Rashida would definitely be ALIVE and KICKING!!!

Im glad things are working with you and Lehi. He will understand your motives are coming from a place of love

Nah, she is feeling crummy. Her tonsils are HUGE... and she is sneezing like crazy. But she is taking after me. I had my tonsils out at 27... she doesnt get strep, just sore throats and swollen tonsils. she slept all morning.

Oh and yes, Louis had to take the GC with him. But from now on he is keeping at his mom's with his passport.

Awww I had mine out at 22 so i understand. I hope she feels better soon..... Are you thinking of having them removed?

[MRStee 19]

hey yardies

so much to read and catch up on

thanks for the well wishes

for a minute i wasn't even sure if we were approved

if it wasn't for the fact that he told us go pay dhl i probably wouldn't have known, lol

we were interviewed by a man, got in at 7:15 left about 9 am

he asked alot of questions but we handled ourselves well and he was quite polite

((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) I am so happy for you.. You will be in the big apple soon. I would love to meet you in person. im only 2 hours away!

Thats a no on the tonsils Nat... no health insurance. As soon as we get some though... I have a "to do" list!

i hope you get some soon. thats very painful as you already know...

thats good enough. thats what we used. they didnt even look at it. a letter from your employer too is needed as well.

I believe children need there own applications. Some of the other ladies in her know better than me though.

i made the same mistake and did not file for my step daughter at the same time. now my hubby has been here for 6 months and his daughter is looking for an interview in march because we had to file a separate petition.

My advice will be to start now because its a long process.

If you have questions you can PM me I can give you info with where Im at now. I filed for him in Feb of 09 and he was here in 6 months, I filed for her in May and its been 8 months Go figure!!!

Oh my2 Im sorry to hear that honey!!!! feel better andstay calm because stress will give you a headache
