12 days til my interview guys!! I am so ready for this!!! I came to the USA 08/28/2000!! and I haven't left the country since! was out of status for 12 years till last year. I was able to apply for Deffered Action. but then me and my now wife decided to get married before she went off to college because we have been dating for many many years. I cant belive this 13 years of nightmares are almost done!!

I hope everything goes well for you. I feel for the Dreamers. Although I am not one of them I met several Dreamers and my heart goes out to them. Hearing their stories just breaks my heart. It is no unfair that government was unable or unwilling to do anything. I am happy that you will be able to adjust status. The nightmare will be truly over.dancin5hr.gif

We were 3 weeks without the Internet (thanks to the storms and changing from one provider to another) but it's so good to read that all of you are doing good!!! :)

I have been extremely busy with my job and tomorrow I will start my 2nd job. I told my husband I will work back all this 1.5 years I was sitting home. Just because I can :)

I got my drivers license week after I failed my first driving test. The officer was really nice and told that he don't even understand why I didn't get it the first time :) Our insurance added me to my husbands policy but i don't even wanna know how big the next bill gonna be...

Now I can just enjoy living until 3/22/2015 when the ROC process begins

PS! It's kind of sad that I don't have a reason to check the mailbox 20 times a day anymore :)
