Hahaha, you crack me up!

Well, I had a crazy breakdown on Friday over my address change, I tell ya! I can say that I have a strong heart because I put it through a lot of stress, hahaha!

Hey, when you calculate the 90 days from when you can renew your card, do you count the weekends?

Hehe...Now don't get me worried. I'm guessing it's just 90 days counting the weekends...Didn't see anywhere saying 90 weekdays If so, i'm late. Today i got my notice so it must be 90 days or else they sent the notice late. hehe but that wouldn't surprise me!!!!

[Kimbear 53]

it should be including all days..otherwise..lol

this is the calc i think alot of us used http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

[nickbits 43]

kimbear is correct--count all days. I used Excel to do the calc but the link posted works just fine as well.

[Veronik 19]

Sounds good!!! I'll definitely use that link when it's time

Biometrics tomorrow, nickits? Is is a far drive for you guys?

[Brenda2010 1]

Hey everyone! Can't believe how far we've come! So nice to read all your updates, hear your good news. Congrats on the new house Vero - we just bought one last month, after an entire year of looking, lord! We move end of November - get possession mid Nov. but have a lot to do...the people who owned it did a pretty good job of trashing it.

So, for some weird reason I thought we had to submit the ROC 6 months prior to green card expiry, not 3...guess I just got some extra time, which is very much appreciated. Although, must say, I had a look at the form and it looks easy peasy compared to some of the others we've had to fill out! Not thrilled that we get to fork over another $500 though, boooo.

Question about passports - why did you renew yours early? Mine expires June 2 2013...any benefit to doing it earlier? Oh, is it because you get 'the stamp' after ROC is approved?

Sorry, as usual I'm relying on you guys who're further along in the process to help me out, I do try and pay it forward with newer members though...hate to be a slacker!

[mandaNchris 3]

Both my passport and green card expires June 2013. I was wondering how early you can renew your passport because I would like it back before I have to do ROC. Well I guess I kind of have to have it before then lol Glad everyone is doing well.

Brenda congrats on your house!

Nickbits I hope your bio appointment went well

[nickbits 43]

Biometrics tomorrow, nickits? Is is a far drive for you guys?

Only about 1/2hr.. The USCIS office is only a few min from my work. ha.

When she did biometrics for AOS, I noticed a touch on her account the day after. So far no touch on this one.

Hello Everyone,

Hoping everyone is safe and sound from Sandy, Vero did ya'll get affected from the storm?

How was ya'lls Halloween? We only got 4 kids..heh but we had a party on Saturday.

It'll be about 2 weeks till I got to send in my package for ROC..Crossing fingers it will go smoothly.

Not very sure about the questions about the passports, hopefully someone else will chime in, but I think you can renew it within a year of expiry???

mandaNchris, I don't think you have to have your passport for the ROC package..just a copy of the front and back of your green card.

Keep in touch and hope all is safe!!

Oh really? Awesome. I haven't even looked into ROC yet. I better start soon, I suppose.

Our halloween was great. We went to one of Chris' friends house so Alex had other kids to trick or treat with. He had fun but got too cold so he came back to the house and told Chris we can just go to Walmart to get candy lol

[Veronik 19]

Hi everyone!

Glad to hear from you Brenda2010!!! Glad that everything is going well!

When we renew our Green Card, our passport needs to be valid for at least another 6 months, or something along those lines. I renewed mine because by the time I send in my ROC package, my passport would have only been valid until July. Plus, I wanted to change my name on the passport so it matches the Green Card.

Wow, only half an hour away! Nice! I have to drive two hours to go to the closest office. Not fun...

J&J, let me know when you do send it in, I'll update our chart

So my address change documents were received on 10/15/2012, and I still haven't received a notice or confirmation of some sort... And neither has Chris (for being the co-sponsor)... Anything to be worried about?
