Hello members,

I just wanted to see how all my fellows who filed for their adjustment of status in November 2013 are doing. I am spending these days studying at home for the third part of my CPA exam, Meanwhile I am waiting for that magic email/notification with the date when we will go to the interview.

My hubby and I are betting on whether I will get my CPA license before or after I will receive the green card. I promised him if I will get my licence before I will become a permanent resident, he will have to take me to dinner! dancin5hr.gif

What are you guys doing meanwhile?
