August Interviews Crew - AOS Journey

[Veronik 19]

looks like people are able to file for naturalization before they get ROC completed..

i'm just worried about evidence. all we do is work pretty much, we haven't gone on any vacations and the one we went on last summer, we didn't take any pictures.. we're not picture people

awesome about your house vero we finally got into a house last october, we're renting. it's a hundred times better than that damn townhouse with a ten year old, a 100lb dog and three cats - there was no room left!!!!

Wow, yeah, seems like it's going pretty slow. That makes me nervous; what if we have to travel during that time, what happens then?

Do you have bills under his name? I guess anything that proves you're both at the same adress will work. It's more proof than pictures, in my book!

You guys have anything fun planned for the long weekend?

I'll be painting, moping, vacuuming, painting some more, cleaning...

That is great Vero! I hope you all have a great visit. Are they coming for American thanksgiving?

My younger sister and her boyfriend are coming to visit us for American thanksgiving in Nov. I am excited. They haven't been here sense our wedding Nov. 20th 2010.

Wow this thread is still active--nice!!

Seems like everyone is doing pretty well. Katrina is working now as a Lab Technician in major hospital around here. She is underemployed from what she could be doing in Canada (needs a degree here to do the same job) and she might go back to school and finish it at some point, but at least she's working. You may recall from earlier in this thread when I was in the hospital; 2 years later I still do not have a diagnosis but it looks like I have multiple sclerosis. I am doing OK but am on constant medication. Umm what else... we went on a cruise last month but it was cut short and rerouted because of Issac but we still had a good time. I think that's about it...

I mailed in Katrina's I-751 form on Monday, now the waiting process begins again! I wonder if we'll need to do another interview or not.

Hi nickbits!!! Glad to hear from you! I'm sorry about your health issues, are you doing OK in general? Are you in a lot of pain?

I know, I felt the same way at first when I started working, thinking gosh I could be making so much more money! But at least we have work, right?

Congratulations on sending in the form! I'll get our chart ready tonight when I come home! You're the first of us to send it in! I'm hoping we won't have an interview either. We had one for the AOS, so maybe they'll leave us be this time!

[Veronik 19]

Alright, here we are! I'm starting out chart again for Removal of Conditions! Nickbits, you're first!!!

Yeah I'm good overall. I have a mild to moderate amount of localized pain & discomfort but the medication helps. Luckily the pain killers are not additive so I don't have to worry about that.

CSC cashed the check today, so it took less than a week. I had sent it priority mail.

What's everyone's thought on obtaining citizenship?

So far Katrina seems to want to get it when she's eligible, mainly so she can vote.

Wow less then a week, that is great.

I want to get citizenship when I can, so I can vote and never have to deal with immigration again. All this paper work gives me a headache lol

Same here! Plus, we're not giving up the Canadian citizenship by doing so, so why not? Seems like a lot more pros than cons!

Let me know when you get your NOA1 nickbits!

[J & J 3]

I'm right with ya'll about obtaining citizenship!!

[nickbits 43]

Got the extension letter (I-797) today!

[nickbits 43]

Let me know when you get your NOA1 nickbits!

The only real con is a lifetime commitment to file US taxes even if you return to Canada :S

Congratulations nickbits! That was quick!

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that... I'm thinking that the pros outweigh the cons here, it makes me mad that I'm working, paying taxes, and can't vote right now...
