Hello Everyone!

I am enjoying a quiet afternoon with my husband. We went to a party last night but I was driving so we came home early. It was like a Jamaican party really. The music, dancing and food was delicious. The weather is beautiful--like a spring day with the birds chirping and sweet breeze.

Anthony will be registering for class tomorrow and I will be finalyzing my car purchase on Monday or Tuesday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Congratulations to Jamie on the AOS interview and EAD card!

Hi Woogietail. How are things going with you and Trevor? Have you filed papers yet?

Joanna,

I posted this question on the K-1 forum too. One poster got their EAD in less than 60 days, so it worked out well for them. They did get married shortly after entering though so for someone who waits toward the end of the 90 days I'm wondering if there would be a lapse? I thought I remembered reading that the regional offices, we have one in Hartford, will issue temporary interim EAD's until the permanent one came??? Even so; as you said temporary working for a couple of months is better than not working at all. Since I live in CT; JFK is not really that much of an inconvenience to me.

Michele

Yes Michele, I saw your post on the K-1 forum.

If Adrian could get some type of temp job that would be better then nothing, I am so worried about him coming here and sitting around the house for 3-4 months and not being able to do anything and being bored to death. I have already checked into GED prep classes so that will keep him busy for a little bit, but he really wants to work when he gets here....If we get an interview in May he will come here within a week of getting his visa and then we are going to try to have the wedding July 9th. and then send in AOS and EAD as soon as possible.

So Michele, how are things with your other half? I see you are going for a visit soon...are you going to file when you get back? or are ya'll going to wait a while longer? Good luck with everything

I flew Anthony in to JFK and got the stamp. He got a job as a car salesperson and it lasped. We got married two months after he arrived. We have filed for AOS and EAD and are waiting. It helped us because Anthony has two children in Jamaica to support. I wish they had a law that could extend the temporary work authorization to last until the EAD is processed but then I'm not making the laws governing immigration but it sure makes sense to help marriages and families to reunite sooner.

How did things turn out with that big fire you mentioned yesterday?

Yeah, you'd think...I thought that I read somewhere that you could extend it but I can't find it in anything "legal" that says that an interim one can be issued. It's ridiculous to have to quit a decent job because they can't extend the temporary EAD. Those laws just don't make any sense

Joanna,

Lee

A big mess...no houses were damaged but we lost a fire truck. We had another fire truck stay out there all night to make sure it didnt flare up again.

But right now we are working another brush fire that was endangering a gas station, but they now have it under control.

I really wish it would rain soooooon...it is so dry here.

I was just wondering. Thank God no one was hurt or no homes damaged. I sure hope the current brush fire burns out before reaching the gas station. We know what type of problem that would be.

I'm trying to get him to enroll in the advanced GED class. He took the pre-test and they told him he could take the test but he wants to brush up on algebra before he takes nursing classes.

Good news from Leo on the poker class and driving license.! Every success keep us going. We hope his daughter gets well soon and we are sending up a special prayer for your family.

Jus checking in. We had our 1st out-of-state soccer tournament in Virginia this weekend and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Our team didn't do so bad, considering we have 5 new players on our team. My son played in 6 games because our coach needed him as a guest player for our other team and we are both exhausted running around all part of Virginia all weekend. I took a nap when I got home and here it is

1 am and I can't sleep !

Congrat to everyone on their continuing cases, marriages, pregnancies, etc and to those that are in need of prayer...my thoughts are with you.

Rhonda that stinks that you guys got sick. I can't remember which hotel you stayed in, but I know it's was one that I've never sold to any clients before. What makes people sick in the Dominican Republic and Mexico is the water. You cannot even brush your teeth with it. Bottled water for everything !! The beaches are beautiful and the food was outstanding where we've stayed. Yes it's a spanish speaking country and there are some hotels that "cater" to the spanish speaking, not Americans. Punta Cana is the most requested destination that I sell, then Las Vegas.

I'm hoping and praying to head to Jamaica next month....just depends on our darn soccer schedule because we may be playing in yet another tournament. We have tournaments in Richmond Virginia and Manassas the next 2 weekends.

Have a great week everyone !

Kelly,

We stayed at Ocean Bavaro Spa & Beach Resort. It's supposed to be a 4 star. Except for the food/water issues, everything else was great. We didn't touch any of the tap water - yes, we even brushed out teeth w/ bottled water! - but still got sick. I really think it was the food. Also, there weren't really a lot of Spanish speaking people staying there - there were a lot of French though both from France & Canada. Language wasn't really a problem as the key hotel workers spoke 4 or 5 languages Where do you mostly send travelers who are going to Punta Cana? What resorts are the most popular? I don't think we'll be going there again though There are too many other places I'd rather visit and of course our annual trip to Jamaica
