August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey

[mandaNchris 3]

Yeah we bought plane tickets for my nieces to come visit on July 3rd and they were expensive. Part of why we won't have the money to go visit. If we hadn't already bought the tickets for the girls to come down then I probably would have been able to visit sooner. Oh well I guess this is just how it is meant to be It is just nice knowing that we can visit if we want to, that I am no longer stuck here in the U.S. with no possibility to visit home. Hmm guess I need to stop calling Canada home and start calling Georgia home lol Gonna take a while to get used to that. We will be driving the 12 hours to visit Canada when we go in Oct. three plane tickets will be more then what we will pay in gas.

Hahaha, I wouldn't worry about it, I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be able to call this home! Temporary home, ok, but Canada will always be my home

Whooo Hooo... It should be there soooooon!!!

Is the letter you got like a pamphlet or flyer type thing? In blue, with three sections folded..Just curious if I got the same letter as everyone else did.

Nope mine looks exactly like the NOAs. Maybe I'll get that type of thing with my green card?? In the letter it said that I will get important info with my green card I need to read.

Congrats!

Thanks Vero

Hey guys - lot going on the last week or so huh?

Firstly, wanna say thanks for all the congrats on my approval - got my welcome letter on Friday and yesterday got my green card (with very very ugly pic I might add!). Yup, the welcome letter was like the other NOAs, but the gc came with the blue pamphlet. All very exciting....can't quite believe it...after 1.5 years, wow, teared up a little bit.

So for those of you who have your gc's do you carry it around with you at all times as they suggest? I'm not going to, scared I'll lose it. I mean, I'll travel with it but not going to take it to the grocery store!

mandaNchris - you should have yours any day if my timeline's anything to go by...yayyyyyy!

Vero - so thrilled the new job's going well, that's awesome!

J & J - hope all's well with you, enjoying your time not spent on immigration lol

It's been a long time for us all. I am glad we are all almost done with this for two years. Are you planning to apply for citizenship when you can? I am thinking I will. Just so I can be done with USCIS forever. All this paper work and having to remember to renew stuff gives me a headache. Sorry you got a "very ugly picture" lol If it's the same that came on the work authorization card mine will be a bad picture too. It is very hard to get a good picture of me tho so I don't blame the lady at the biometrics place lol.

I will be carrying mine on me at all times because I live in Georgia and they just passed the immigration law here. I already carry my passport with me at all times just in case. Once I get my gc I'll put my passport in a safe place and just carry the gc with me.

I can't wait to get my gc and see what it looks like. J&J told me they are cool looking. I'll be checking the mail asap all week lol

[mandaNchris 3]

woohoo! got my card in the mail I was right, my picture sucks but oh well who cares I still have my card!! lol

[Brenda2010 1]

woohoo! got my card in the mail I was right, my picture sucks but oh well who cares I still have my card!! lol

Heyyyyy, that's so great, congratulations!! So there's an immigration law? Jees, what will they think of next?!! I can't imagine why I would need to produce the documentation at any given time but whatever...think I'll just keep a photocopy with me and hope that will suffice. Sorry your picture sucks but at least you're in good company

I am indeed going to apply for citizenship - have to research that...the wait, the process, the cost. But yeah, think it's a good thing to do so we don't have to continually worry about it. Also if you ever wanna move back to Canada/anywhere else for that matter, makes it easy to move back to the States without starting all over again.
