Finally mailed off AOS!

[pocheros 101]

Well, it's been a bit of a rough year. I POE'd in September 2011, got married, and then on the day we were originally going to mail off my AOS- in December- my husband got laid off. After applying for hundreds of jobs he finally got hired 6 months later. We moved in with hub's mother and her husband, where MIL's husband treated us like absolute #######. Then as we were about to move out we got hit with a huge bill from the hospital when I had to go the ER. We managed to scrape together enough to move into our own apartment and finally to pay the AOS filing fee. I spent the last three days putting the AOS package together and mailed it off today.

I am SO ready to work after spending an entire year unemployed. It's been difficult but perhaps it was good to go through some rough times together in the first year of marriage. We have been through so much together, spending the first 3 years in a long-distance relationship where we saw each other only every 3 or 4 months, and then spending about half of this year unemployed together.

I cannot wait to get a job, to be active again, and to make some friends. I am so sick of being confined to our tiny apartment. I am going to DANCE when my green card finally arrives in the mail

Thank you all so much for answering my questions and helping me get through the process VJ has been invaluable.

YAY Pocheros! Very happy for you. You were so helpful when I was going thru the whole K1 process and had questions about the police certificate and medical. Glad to see that good kharma finally came your way. CONGRATS and hope that you don't have to wait to long for your EAD/AP card to arrive. Mine didn't take very long.

Cheers

I am sorry for ALL you have been through, but you seem you seem to be a very positive person.

And "YES" I have so much to thank you for helping out all the time I needed since I started the K1 process. I wish you all the happiness and may your EAD/Green Card come quick.

I have been without working, meeting people etc.. for over 4 months, I can't imagine a year. So hang in there. This is just a test!!

Congrats!!!

Elsinha, moemac: it's been awhile since we caught up. How are things now that you're in the US?

Things are great, thanks for asking. I arrived on the 8th of June, closed on our house on June 19th, married June 22nd and then started demo on the interior of our house on June 23rd. Since then have been busy with reno mode and being a lazy bum by not working.

The hubby and I were together for 4 years before tying the knot so I was able to make friends thru his friends. Life is good except for the AOS app process and waiting for our interview date. So frustrated with that process and have been calling to see what the case status is. I got my EAD/AP card back in September but still want to get my GC. The waiting is killing me.
