Well I finally got my EAD and AP and I'm now home with my family. I've been under testing and interviewing stage for over a month and a half but since that's normal for NYC I don't really fret.

I feel so sorry hearing about people who has lost their cards in the mail thanks to USPS! Seriously, I'd go frickin apeshit over that and not rest til someone took responsibility for it.

It's really sad how complicated this process is, I feel it shouldn't have to be like this in 2013. The whole AOS process that is. At least, they could make it digital...

Oh well.

Congrats on your card!

I will be stressing until Dave's card arrives. It should be here Friday.

The thing is ... I haven't told him. He has no idea it's been approved. He's in for a H U G E surprise :)

Wait until he calls my MIL, he's gonna get another surprise when she tells him that she already knew! LOL

(I hope he doesn't read VJ within the next couple of days ... EEK!)

glad u arrived safely to ur family ! how was the partysmile.png

thats really sweet carla! good way to keep the love flowing the household! but it would be hard for me to contain myself much less to keep a secret like that from my boo!

We quickly realized in our marriage that only 1 person can stress out at a time ... If we're both stressing then it's no bueno.

It's been hard keeping this from him but I've only 2 days to go. Whew!
