There was a number on the letter to call for emergencies.

But it looks like I am getting out in the next couple hours so everything should be ok.

No diagnosis though.

Glad they are letting you out today. You can make your interview now, if you are feeling up to it. Good luck with everything.

Life is like a roller coaster. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Also - you know whats cool and fun? When I crossed the border on Sept 3 I showed the border official my vehicle compliance letter and he said it was fine (I really wasn't sure what the proper steps were and was more distracted by the whole move because it was so exciting)... now that I am trying to get my NY plates they said I need the customs papers. So apparently they did absolutely nothing! This explains why they didn't give two sh*ts about the truck load of belongings, my cat and plants. Ugh... now I need to get a hold of them somehow to get them to process my compliance letter after the fact. Gotta love it!

At least it was easy getting my temporary license transferred. My ON license (G) expires Jan 12 and its clear I won't have my GC by then so I went to see what they can do so that I don't need to take a drivers test. Pretty much they just needed to fax my visa, current license, SSN, photo ID and marriage license to Albany and they can approve a one year license in advance - based on the assumption my GC will be approved haha. I think everyone else here has had no problem transferring, apparently NY is just weird.

Tater&#######,

I understand your car trouble! I had to sell mine after all because I would have had to drive the da*n thing to the border... Not happening! Hopefully you don't have to do that either!

nickbits,

Best of luck today, and let us know how it went when you get a chance!!! :star:

Got back from the interview and it was even easier than the K1 interview.

Asked:

When we met (november 2003)

Date we got married (8/30/2010)

Any proof of living together (gave bank & cc statements with both our names)

As well as the slew of "are you a terrorist" type questions

Didn't ask about any details of the weddding or anything to do with the medical/vaccination stuff. Guess we lucked out not having to get anything transcribed by a CS.

Said she should have her GC in a few weeks. I asked if she needed a 551 stamp since we wanted to go back to Canada for xmas but he said no and that she could still use her AP. I know that isn't the consensus here but I'm wasn't going to argue with him.

I was battling a moderate to severe headache during the interview and was wondering if he could pick up on the fact that I wasn't totally with it but he didn't bring it up so I didn't mention that I just got out of the hospital.

They are still running some culture/fungal tests but they take a few weeks to run but I doubt they will show anything. They want me to go for another MRI in 3 weeks to see if the brain lesions are better/worse. They hinted that I probably have something but it is too early for their tests to show anything.

Right now they have me on anti-seizure meds and hopefully that works. I don't know what the long term plan/solution is though. They only gave me a perscription for 1 month of meds.

Also I'm not really sure our AOS is really approved yet. He said we should get our GC in a few weeks but I don't think they make a true decsion until a few days after the interview. Online status still shows initial review as well.

Congrats nickbits! Website schmebsite. That thing is never right it seems. You're so lucky on the immigration side of things. I really hope they figure something out soon so you can put your mind at ease on the medical side of things.

I on the other hand have had it up to here with USCIS. OK I'm just venting because my family dog had to be put down today (not my puppy, the one I grew up in my teens with, he was 12). He became terminally ill from the medication Frontline that was purchased in the US. It was sudden and unexpected. It doesn't follow the same regulations as in Canada. My mom lives alone and has been down lately already and I couldn't go 2hrs away to be there for her. Her house is covered in blood from the dog and she is stuck home alone without her pet cleaning after his accidents. I am really upset over the dog passing too, I raised him. It's a tearful grumpy day :crying: . If it were for that RFE who knows, maybe I'd have my AP by now. My AP and EAD are in one office and AOS is being filed in another. It seems like AP and EAD are out of the question or something. Sorry to be a grinch.

Oh my gosh Tater&#######, I'm so sorry to hear... What do you mean the medication Frontline? Like for fleas? I think that might be the one I'm giving to my dog... Is is dangerous???

I had to put my last dog down, and I understand how bad this sucks... And the fact that you can't go home to take care of it and say your goodbyes... I hope you feel better soon (F)

nickbits,

So, what happens then if you're not approved after the interview? How will you be notified? Do you know how long the wait is?

I changed the chart back to what it was... If anyone has had some action let me know so I can update it... Still nothing on my side... :huh:

Yes the flea and tick meds. A lot of the Frontline and similar brands of medicine (not just for fleas and ticks) in the US is counterfeit. Only way to be sure is find out who the distributer for your vet is. If you buy it from Petco, Petsmart etc then it is counterfeit. Even the legit kind is dangerous. We avoid giving it and have been researching non chemical remedies but haven't tried any yet since it's winter.

My mom is taking it hard, mostly because she is all alone.

Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for the info, I think I'll look into it too in the spring since I think that's the one we were using...

Sorry again for you loss, maybe you'll hear about your AP soon and can go for a visit, who knows!

Very excited because we'll be getting 3-4 inches of snow tomorrow! Yeah to a white Christmas!!!
