2010 United Kingdom AOS Thread

[beatlesrebel 0]

It was my husband's first Thanksgiving, too. My dad joked about putting a "First Thanksgiving" baby's bib on him. Good thing my husband and my dad really get on We're looking forward to seeing your wedding pics!

A lot of our mail from the UK/Ireland has gone missing lately. My husband's mom sent us mail before our wedding (Sept 10th) that we've totally given up on. She also sent us some cards for Christmas but nothing yet!! Hmhm!

Oh my gosh, one of my really good friends from work was going to give Phill a "First Thanksgiving" bib, but she never did find one! LOL! I'm nervous about the mail Phill's mom sent now. She ordered something directly through Amazon.com and had it shipped here, so that shouldn't be a problem. She's sending a small parcel along with Christmas cards though. Hmmm...

Hi 2010 UK AOS filers

Just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is. Now that it's 2011, this thread might be coming to an end soon *tear*!

Tomorrow is my husband's AOS interview, and we're as excited as can be. I'm not nervous because we are so super prepared with documents and tons of pics. I think this will be more fun than nerve-wracking ... and there is nothing I love more than talking about my dear husband, sooo

Hello!! Oh I hope this thread doesn't end! It's like home here! Anyway, good luck with the interview! I'm sure it will go great! Let us know everything that happened when you can!

Things here are going as well as can be expected. Phill enjoyed his first Christmas in the states...and New Year's Eve! Poor guy is not having any luck at all finding a job and it's really starting to get to him. He's worked all his life and has been out of work since April (when he moved here). He keeps applying though, which I told him that's really all he can do for now. How about everyone else? How has the job market been for the rest of you?

Good luck with the interview tomorrow Leenie. Sounds like you guys are more than prepared.

I don't have my EAD yet but I am ITCHING. I've seen so many jobs that I want to apply for but can't just yet. I have a folder in explorer specifically for jobs and it's massive so as soon as I get my EAD it's ON! lol

Beatlesrebel I hope your hubby finds something very soon *fingers crossed*. I left my job on the 22nd July and it's been really hard for especially since I used to work two jobs seven days a week at home. From all that to now nothing *sigh*. I'm sure once I get a job I'll be dying to get back to day time tv.......Nancy Grace (my Nancy Grace rant is for another thread lol)

I have had about 7 calls offering me interviews but i have no EAD yet so can't do much. All the folks that called have said to contact them when i get it [EAD] and they'll do whatever they can. One was McDonnell Douglas in MD.

Wow, it's excellent to already have some opportunities for work lined up. I do hope you get your EAD through soon!

Our interview today went really well! We passed! I put a very long and detailed review up here on VJ, which can be viewed in our timeline. I hope it will be helpful to some who are still anticipating their interview

Hey guys

Thought I'd finally get involved with this thread! Just had our biometrics done this month and now waiting, waiting...absolutely desperate to get working, plus I've seen some really cheap flights home and I'd like to get a visit in before I become slave to the rubbish amounts of vacation time over here , so I'm really hoping to see some movement soon.

Leenie - congratulations on your approval you must feel like such a weight has been lifted!!!

Hello!! Welcome to the thread, nice to see another person here! The waiting is horrible, but it'll be so worth it when you're done!!

Thank you, and welcome! I definitely feel like their is a load off, but that load is soon to be replaced with some serious job hunting and driving practice with my husband! hehe

slave to the rubbish amounts of vacation time over here

No lie, this is probably my biggest fear. I love a good holiday lol. I NEVER spend my holiday days at home...think it's a waste. At home I had 34 days leave (fabulous right?!). I don't know how I'm going to cope but I'm still ITCHING to get out to work.

AOS approved 11/01 at Cali and card production ordered same day. Yay, I can finally start getting paid at work! I got my EAD before Xmas but they screwed up and spelled my surname wrong. That's been fixed with USCIS but a new EAD hasn't arrived so GC is even better and hopefully has the right name on it. Good luck to everyone searching for jobs, it's very hard not to have your own money isn't it?

Extremely!

Congrats and good luck with the job hunting

Got an RFE email notification last night at 10.30pm got a couple of ideas what it might be (vaccination record is my bet, which is a shame because reallllly don't want to go see a civil surgeon and pay $$$ for them to tell me the bleeding obvious) but just have to wait and see. Hope it comes today before the long weekend ARGH

Trying to look at the bright side - someone is looking at our case at least

Thank you. I've had a job since September, only now I can actually get paid for it rather than just volunteer. And hopefully create more hours for myself! Good luck to you too.
