Hi All

USCIS sent me three welcome notices... but they can't get my name right :wacko: They've put my first name and middle name in different orders on my visa, my SSC and now my welcome letter. I made an InfoPass appointment because I need to make sure they issue it correctly on my green card. silly government!

Incompetence seems to be their forte.

Good luck getting it fixed!

HI KAFFY

good idea about going for an info pass..hope it gets sorted out for ya...

hi vylex..yep time flies when your having fun don't ya know...and you sit back and wonder where has the time gone..

removal of conditions isn't as exciting as the other parts of the journey...just costs too damm much lol..no wonder we have so many il-legal immigrants in this country...they can't afford it...

be interesting with a new president how he deals with it

has any of the aussie's in the states been keeping track of the presedential election...goes on too damm long for my liking and too much money spent on campaigns especially when they are ridiculeing each other silliness..stick to the issues and be done with it i reckon...

take care all
