Yardies a home and a farrin, Part 25!

[DedicatedWife 4]

I understand that but I think on the application to register to vote you have to tick a box or something off for the selective service... I need to go look at the voter registration application...

Oh okay, cause on ours here in GA they don't. Thanks for the info though Tee! Looks like Den will be fine. We not trying to overlook anything...I appreciate all the knowledge here on VJ...mi sistas keep me in the loop!

[TAMH 2]

Im doing good thank you. I decided to go to sleep last night with no pain meds and I slept pretty good. The machine they put me on yesterday to stretch my neck did wonders.

Im leaving work an hour early to go to see the hand specialist to see why I keep having so much pain in my pinky!

Good for you mama!

Ok. I'm researching this..

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f3f43a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=f3f43a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

Your Responsibilities as a Permanent Resident

As a permanent resident, you are:

* Required to obey all laws of the United States the states, and localities

* Required to file your income tax returns and report your income to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities

* Expected to support the democratic form of government and not to change the government through illegal means

* Required, if you are a male age 18 through 25, to register with the Selective Service

Then I googled how to register & found this: https://www.sss.gov/RegVer/wfRegistration.aspx Looks like you can do it online.

aaaaah interesting maybe cause of the age we didn't get anything, I don't think coming in on a CR1 or K1 would make a difference. I will have to double check I put all his stuff in a file folder now I'm curious.

Hey all!

I just wanted to wish everyone well and comment on the selective service comments. I don't know how, but shortly after my hubby got his greencard they sent us his selective service card. I thought we had to register at the post office too. I would say just wait and see if that happens to you too, but we shall see what the other ladies say. I know we didn't specifically register.

Hey Brooke ((Waving))

Irie I am so happy for you! I love my Hyundai Elantra. Right now my rental is a sonata... You are going to loveeeeeeee it!

Well it must be the day for good news.. Despite the accident, I just met with her adjuster. They gave me my 500.00 deductible and they also gave me a check for pain and suffering and time I may miss from work, and small incidentals (parking fee's, etc.) God is SO good!! So you see, it was never my intention to sue and they compensated me just the same

Wait you had an deductible ?? I thought when a person hits you their ins takes care of everything…

Hey Dada, Dens Wifey, TAMH, Nat, Irie, Philly and SunRay.....just got a lil break so I stopped in to say hi!

[phillyfashionista 8]

thanks Nat i see your hubby's card was already ordered :dance:

I posted a review here it is

Review Topic: IR1/CR1 Visa

I went to JA for my hubby's interview we arrived at 6:50am (i know we were super early) we sat outside until 8:00am they we proceeded to the entrance which there was a very long line but i was told to proceed to the front since we are what they call "Filing" and i was told the others in the long line were "Non-Immigrants" we left everything in the car so security was a breeze a young lady at the door took two of my hubby's passport pics and wrote his name on the back and put them inside his passport and inserted the first page of our interview appointment letter inside the passport as well, they asked for my passport to prove i was the one filing for him them we proceeded to the courtyard and was directed to the check-in counter, we were given a number at 8:15am we were inside while waiting we noticed the numbers were not in order as we already knew by other reviews and we noticed the process as well(first call finger prints, medical and document check, second call interview) also we noticed a LOT OF BLUE SLIPS were being given for 2009 TAX RETURN & W2's and also for CO-SPONSORS we also observed what CO were really strict and stern and which ones were really nice, there were three Americans and three Jamaicans that were doing interviews and they would switch it up every now and then, the Jamaican guy was very nice and so was one of the ladies with her hair braided, there was a African-American girl with a short bob she was very strict and conducted all interviews on speaker phone which i found very upsetting because everyone could hear every question and every answer, and there was an African- American guy who me and my hubby called "BLUE SLIP' BECAUSE 90% OF HIS INTERVIEWS ENDED IN "blue slips" (who also turned out to be our CO) he was very thorough and he asked everyone to pick up the phone so it was really hard to tell what most of the "blue slips" were for but i remember two that needed co-sponsors and two that needed more proof of ongoing relationship, other than that they were giving visas left and right no denials, at 9:45am our number was called for the first time a young Jamaican female (very nice and polite) took my hubby's medical, took his finger prints and have him sign his Police certificate and asked him some general questions then she asked is this our first marriage we said yes she told us to have a seat and listen for our number again, at 10:30 our number was called again we were first asked to raise our right hands and to swear all the info we gave and that all our answers would be the truth then the CO asked me to take a seat and asked my hubby to pick up the phone, i could hear my hubby's answers and from that i knew what the questions were

1. how did you meet?

2. how long have you known each other?

3. when did you get married?

4. how do you communicate?

5. has your wife every sent you any money and do you have receipts?

6. how many times has your wife visited you since you started dating?

then i saw the CO whip out a blue slip and put it aside and that's when my i noticed my hubby getting very nervous he then proceeded to ask my hubby

7. do you have any children?

8. how many people was at your wedding?

9. do you have any wedding pictures?

then he asked my hubby to sit and asked me to come up to the window and pick up the phone

he basically asked my questions 1-3,6-9 and i explained we had no pics because it was a small ceremony and i explained we had a big one planned and had to postpone because my son had to have surgery he the asked 10. what kind of surgery and when? he then asked to see my son's birth certificate and my US passport, then he paused and reached for the "blue slip" i noticed it was for co-sponsor because we did not meet the poverty guidelines for 2008 but we did for 2009 so i then offered the CO the 2009 Tax return and W2 he then asked if it met the poverty guideline i said yes he said "yes i will need that since both you and your co-sponsor did not meet 2008" he took the docs and checked the poverty guidelines and said shook his head and said "OK thank you please ask your husband to return to the window with his passport" he then asked my hubby

11. have you ever been arrested? 12. have you ever traveled to the US? then he said "take this ticket to window 26 to pay for the delivery of your passport do not make any travel arrangements until you receive you passport with your visa" my hubby said thank you and we left he never said congrats or welcome to the US but i took his statement as an APPROVAL AND BY GOD IT WAS our interview was on Friday and my hubby's visa was issued on Monday and available for pick up on Tuesday afternoon was picked up Wednesday and we left Thursday GOD IS TRULY AMAZING!!

Sheka thanks for sharing Sis, God is AMAZING!!!

Girl I hate the fact that it's so open and everyone knows your business, this is such a personal process and I think the Govt needs to change how the interviews are handled to protect peoples privacy.

[MRStee 19]

Aww chica I'm so sorry ta hear dis ((((hugs)))). I think you need to wait a minute before studying. As long as you're in a slump you won't be able to retain information. Getting a tutor is good. I hear you about feeling down but not defeated. That is how I'm feeling bout NC. Its like dang I cant get a job for nothing. I know the economy is bad and all but they always have job postings and and I'm applying but I cant even get in the front door for an interview. I have my gorgeous house down there but I cant move until I have a job because I refuse to leave my something for nothing. I'm listening to gospel now trying to keep my spirits lifted and not give up. I know its just the devil trying to block my blessing.

Four points wow Mstee so close so I'm sure next time it will be a definite PASS….

No star mi walk in de evenings…

Mi naa figet yuh PM it soon come...

Thats right Dada... stay motivated mi sista.. things will turn around for us soon! God is good all the time and He will never forsake us!

MrsTee... I am being nosey now. How old is hubby? Are you a cougar?? LOL

LOL Yes I am a COUGAR... dyaam proud too! hahahaha.. There is a 16 year age difference between hubby and I.. He will be 24 and I will be 40 this year! Hot dyaam! I STILL got it! And for those who want to say Im like Stella trying to get my groove back, well I proudly tell them "I aint neva lost it"

[JQ Smiley BOOM 3]

Morning Irie...no 28 is definitely not old...I just tease him cause Den aches and complains some times like he is a little old man...he had a bad injury when he was younger and he hurt his back really bad so sometimes he aches...so I call him old man. I'm in the over 30 group and I'm still hot to trot!
