Oh my gosh....those were great so funny!!!!!

GOODNITE.

On a bad note I had to rush my dog to the vet he was throwing up and had liquid bloody stools....I'm not sure whats wrong with him.. They said he needed to stay there. It doesn't look good. I'm sure it will cost me a pretty penny.

Goodnite,

sorry to hear about your dog, hope he gets better soon.

i have the dutty wine song in my head

anyway mike handed in his ds-230 last week...when should we get something from the embassy??

Hey there,

Craig dropped his DS230 on Monday, but the chic at the Embassy told him to come back today to pick up Packet 4, so that's what he's doing as I type. I emailed the Embassy 4x and no response. They were ALWAYS quick to respond when I asked for extensions!! Now that we're getting down to the nitty gritty, they won't respond.

Can anyone tell me, do they have the actual interview DATE inside Packet 4 ? I'm going to try to call today, I had every intention of doing it yesterday, but stuck with an online travel presentation.

Thanks!

also from past experiences, with David as well...we must allow our men to make their own mistakes. I too found that I was babying my husband at first... it is easy to belittle and not realize you are doing it. All though we all all holing it down right now we must remember that they are men. We are their wifes and we should make them feel like men....There have been many of times that David has been wrong.... I just agree cause I know that my telling him will do no good. They have to learn to make their own way....

For the most part I am blessed....I am greatfull for him...we talk to each other often, we touch each other often, At times we find ourselves saying thank ..you Jesus at the same time... MsSquitto is right it helps. "We pray together morning and night...I would say that we are very close, He is still the same man. Than I have had conversations will our the past two years..My life has changed dramticly...I am not bragging, it's not perfect. I'm just very happy....I hope it never changes. Nothing worth having comes easy ....SO when ###### hits the fan I weigh the neg and the pos. The positives all ways win....for now that is...

OMG...u hit it right on the nose. I swear Dee you always say the right things.

Agreed I'm learning to be patient. Patience has never been my strong suit. You are so right. We are their wifes and even though things are lopsided at the present time. It's important to remember that things will not always be like this. Good things are worth waiting for. Dee, thank you.

I only skim read the last few pages (as I've been in training for most of the day) but I'd like to share one observation that I've made. I've noticed a slight trend. Last year this time many of us were agonizing over approvals and missing our SO's so much and ranting about phone cards and the separation issues and LDR frustrations and all that. Now that many of us have our men right here with us, reality has set in and we now complain about the f*ckery associated with a real relationship and find our men driving us bonkers. I ask myself...was I (we) living in fantasy land all that time when he was in JA? Did I (we) just dream that everything was going to be a-ok once he finally made it to the US? Did I (we) really believe that the deep love that we had for one another would be the bridge to get us over whatever problem presented itself?

Very good point and question, Ms. Squitto!! And that is how we can keep them (the daily realizations that worry, scare, disappoint and frustrate us) in check....I remind myself that last year I used to have (involuntary) shaking fits, when I the feared that we would get denied or have some other issue plague us and how I prayed to God to have this work and for him to be able to join me here. I remember praying for strength when people at church suggested that I pack for JA because JA was high fraud and I would have to go live there. And God answered my prayer. I saw a show Dateline Primetime or some such thing and a 9/11 widow said she would give anything to have her husband leave the toilet seat up again or leave the milk on the counter again...just to have him back. The host asked if he came back and left teh seat up and let the milk spoil what would she do, and she implied that she would just put the seat down again without a word and she would pour the milk away and buy more the next day...just to have him back.

So, you are right., Ms. Squitto. But, on the other hand, I think folks are venting so they don't go crazy. I hear the same complains at work from americans married to americans whom they met in a bar and lived with for years.

Very well said. I agree that a lot of it is venting and even more so trying to determine if you are "normal" and going through "normal" things. It is awesome that we can support each other here and get it all out and cuss and scream and all that good stuff. You got to get it out sometime and getting it out around your man can be costly.

I think many of the issues that we face are 'abnormal' for your typical relationship (typical relationship meaning someone you met here, who was already living and established here). Our relationships are anything but typical. Most of my boyfriends here had jobs and cars and apartments and lives! I feel that all of our men, though adults, are starting from scratch--having to get licenses, and geds, and jobs, etc. I often say, these relationships are not for the weak of heart. It takes a lot of patience, dedication and love. It's the times that I feel weak that I lean on the Lord the most. Believe me when I say that he is the glue keeping my relationship together

This is the only place that I can come to find people that REALLY understand the situation that I am in. You all have no idea how grateful I am for each and every one of you!! Vent away ladies, this is what will keep us all sane

But, on the other hand, I think folks are venting so they don't go crazy. I hear the same complains at work from americans married to americans whom they met in a bar and lived with for years.

Well put...VENTING is a must have.....

You guys have no idea - well I am sure you do - how this network of sisterhood (and Eric LOL) helps us. I do need to know on certain days if I am nuts....like Jamie said if I am normal or if our situation is normal. Just visit the other regional forums and you see the same discussions as we are having. Everybody trying to identify and assess the differences that we see now that we are together? Is it gender? Is it cultural? Is it religion?

I feel very blessed to have you all, because I have some female friends who don't have anyone to talk to. My sisters only have me....there is NOBODY they can trust....they don't trust each other even (each wishes I would not discuss their business with the other). Scary.

And for those of you who believe - never stop praying. Today before Henry and I discussed the banking and finances, we prayed that our tongues and voices remain respectful and that we don't harm each other with our words (like the song says).

a lot of our thoughts are parallel

I agree. It's eaiser for me to discuss with people who are in the same boat. Some people are waiting for us to fail. A co-worker asked if everything was good at home because I never say anything about Damien. I think she wanted me to complain about him like she does her husband .

I only discuss the good stuff about Squito and my relationship with people--even my family! I hate to hear "I told you so". It makes me very very angry so I'd rather not bother. I take it here or to the Lord!

How bout this... I Had a coworker ask a good friend recently how I was doing.....when she told him I was happy....he replied "I just wanted to know if he'd gotten his green card and left her yet"

Uh uh...see that's some fighting words... . I don't really talk to ppl much about my business some ppl who don't know me think I'm stuck up or mean but I'm neither. I always kept to myself, just can't be bothered. I've had my engagement ring for some time now but the other day someone at work saw it and she started questioning me. First of all, I don't like ppl doing that esp ppl I don't talk to like that. So I told her it was a promise ring and walked elsewhere. So now I hear rumors in the office but me na bizniz no body a tek care of me...

Well ladies, it has been a great topic today...I'm going to get my daughter from after school care then I'm off to my step aerobics class. Have a great night and talk to ya'll tomorrow.

Anna

a fightin' wud yes

yuh see how people brite and bareface

Hi I have a few questions ( srry it does not pertain to your discussion at this moment my veiws on this is 'If you don't ahve anything nice to say, don't say anything)

I recieved my NAO1 a few weeks ago and becuase I have been feeling like my husband is cheating I have decided to go the CR1/IR1 route, however, I have no clue on htis route. Can some one who has gone this route assist me kinda like a seeing person leading the blind , please?

Can a person who sends in the I130 withthe intentions of getting the K3 Spousal visa switch with, or do O have to notify the USCIS (VSC)?

My husband has a B1/B2 is it possible for him to travel to Canada on it even though the petition has been ented already? ( I do not want him to go to Canada but)

Hi marsha,

Where is your husband? Here in the US? The person to ask is Ricardo'swife - but she is pregnant and has not visited in a while. Her hubby arrived on a K3 and they took their time and went the CR1 route. They had thier interview in JA in December and were successful. Its not so much that you are switiching - you have a valid K3 and you have the right to adjust status here or travel back to JA and interview at the embassy in Kingston.

Thanks,

My husband is in Jamaica we just recently began the process bu tI am thinking I need a little more time( it will be hard-we have been separated since we got married last December). I just don't want the K3 anymore. I have gone as far as not to send in I129F. I just want him to wait out the process and interveiw in Jamaica for the CR1, bu tif that is too much I will just go the K3. I am just a little overwhelm and slowly sinking into depression from stress.

Thanks for your response.

Please don't get depressed. I'll be praying for you honey

Dee - I just got used to going to the gym with Damien. He used to tell me what to do and how to do it. We are known at the gym as the "crazy couple" because we would fuss at each other. Now he does his thing and I do mine. He'll help me when I need it. I like it better that way. Looking at my three chins in the mirror got me motivated .

I know this is sicking..but he has gotten me so comfortable with my self I don't see fat any more...until I step on the scale that is. We enjoy when the kids are not here we walk around....and don't laugh...naked Yall better not laugh.

sorry i chuckled a little

me too but not really at you, more because I'm kinda sorta going through the same thing. I have developed a slight "spare tire". I know it's because i'm not as active as I used to be and I'm taking birth control (which really makes you retain water) and even thought I don't feel very comfortable in my own skin, Squito tells me that I'm beautiful every single day and that he sees no fat (even when I think it's EVERYWHERE!) It's for reasons like this that I deal with the hardships...

Don't worry about it if you're comfortable. I was a cow and a half thanks to the visa process and the first year of marriage. Now I'm just a cow .

I'm in tears....

a nuh you one too funny!!

Some Good Nite news. Anthony received an e-mail today that his EAD was approved on May 9. Hope it arrives soon. Also, his AOS was touched the same day. Hope we get an interview soon or maybe they will approve without an interview.

Yay!! Congratulations

Good Marnin' Everyone!

A dark and semi-gloomy day in New York City, but we are alive!!LOL Give thanks!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day despite everything.

Just wanted to share the words of my wonderful brother:

Before your marriage you loved each other because of....from the day that you say "I do" you will love each other in spite of..."

I carry that with me - I know he was quoting someone, I just don't know whom.

Thanks for sharing. Now that I am all caught up...GOOD MORNING!! Yes, it's dark and gloomy in the city but I woke up feeling blessed!! I've got the Lord on my side. Today, Squito is sending back the information for the RFE that we recieved. We included my entire tax return for 2005, with w-2 included, and an updated proof of employment letter from my current job. If that's not good enough to verify income, I don't know what is

A friend just sent this to me via email, I just have to share:

Malachi 3:3 says "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what

this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of

the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get

back to the group at their next Bible Study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to

watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for

her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining

silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the

fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one

needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames

were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot. Then she

thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and

purifier of silver. She asked the silversmith if it was true that he

had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was

being refined.

The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the

silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it

was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the

flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith,

How do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled at her

and answered, Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it.

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has

His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in

you.

Pass this on, because right now, this very moment, someone needs to

know that God is watching over them. And whatever they're going

through, they'll know it'll be ok

no they are going to recall them back ...and look at it all over again....

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith,

How do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled at her

and answered, Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it.

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has

His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in

you.

Pass this on, because right now, this very moment, someone needs to

know that God is watching over them. And whatever they're going

through, they'll know it'll be ok

Good morning Ladies:

It truely is a damned day in the city. When I came out I had to wonder what is going on.

Mrs. Squito thank you very much and I loved that, I am tearing up has I type. It is so beautiful.

Elizabeth: Thanks for everything.

aahh Kim and i are freaking out!!!!

i guess the new Marriage Broker Law has come into play and they are re-calling all of the K-1...with the NOA 1 after March 6th....well i got mine march 17th...i am in a serious state of confusion!!!! wondering if it is EVERY single k1 visa OR if it for certian countries that are known for the whole mail bride???? i'm about ready to cry

I am so sorry to hear, they are re-calling the K1s? wow btw Jamaica is not known fo rhaving mailorder brides is it? I know alot of the citizens trty to run off but not mail order. I might be close minded about that.

I am really an truly sorry to hear, so what is going to happen now are they going to outright deny you?

no they are going to recall them back ...and look at it all over again....

i am pretty sure JA is not known for mail order brides...so that is why we are not sure if it will effect people with Fiance's in JA or not....

I was just reading these topics and they seem to be saying that there is a posibility that if your NOA1 was sent after March 6th then you will be subjected to the new security checks bu tif your NAO2 was recieved or marked with a MArch 6th date you will be fine. I am going to try and find the posts so you can see themfor yourselves. This sucks big time, so apart from the already long wait now you are subjected to a much longer wait because they want to be stricter on letting people in the country. This is a real piece of $%^&
