2010 Decemberite K1 ROCers!

[lee&jeniebee 23]

Ok, I have to ask, has anyone watched "90 Day Fiancee" on TLC? If so what are your thoughts? I enjoy watching the show, we have seen episode 1, 2 and 3. Somethings I don't like is it seems they selected the couples to ensure drama. The other thing is they place a lot of emphasis on the "90 days" like they are making it feel like you meet and have to get married within 90 days. I would guess the average K-1 visa recipients have known each other close to 2 years from the time they meet until the time they are married? The other thing the show has done is really resurrected the term "Mail order Bride." I use to find this term funny, but twice now someone has suggested that I have a mail order bride and I now find it offensive, believe me, they get an education when I hear that.

Despite my gripes, I have to admit that I am enjoying watching it, Jenie likes it as well.

Hi guys, I have a real question not about some tv show this time: We are getting ready to file our ROC and I suspect that we are not going to have the new green card by the time the old one expires. My question is will Jenie be able to work in the time between the old card expiration date and the arrival of the new card? Oh and happy valentines day in advance friends!!

Yes, Jenie will be able to work. Just show the employer her NOA1 (1-year extension letter)

wOOHOO! Sounds like more babies have been born to us!! I'm finally printing out the I-751 and catching up on what you guys have been chatting about. Holy cow! There's a show based on the K1 ?!? I have GOT to watch that. Is it on Netflix?

I totally think we should continue on to Facebook. I'm definitely encouraging hubby to naturalize so I don't have to deal with the paperwork anymore!

I'm pretty sure everyone can keep working. Or, at least, I'd hope so! Mr. Lox is on his way to becoming a manager at Best Buy! He first took up a job there because finding something in IT Training field was proving difficult in the area we live. He took it as an interim job, and it's turning into so much more. I'm so happy for him. Gems are sometimes found under rocks

Speak soon!! xo

Do you guys think we need to send affidavits from family and friends? I know it says it on that instruction form but...ugh, really?

We don't have a home title together because the house is in my name. I bought the house before Mr. L was officially over here.

We didn't do the affidavits, as I understand it is just one of the evidence possibilities and to be honest, it doesn't sound like good evidence to me.

Our check was cashed on the 19th, I am hoping to get NOA #1 today or tomorrow..

[DiZZyLoX 114]

Yeah, I declined the affidavit myself. I did send post-marked envelopes and cards from family and friends, though.

I'm kind of getting nervous that our check wasn't cashed yet. They received the packet on Mar 27th...no check cash yet =\

Did it take a while for you guys, too?

I'm wondering if the check was a little too hidden for them. Our packet went: Cover Letter, Blank page, Check attached to I-751 page, etc etc. And it was binder clipped at the top.

I'm hoping they didn't think it wasn't in there and it's just taking a little extra time! Something told me to put it right on top, but I didn't think it would be necessary since it was binder'd together.

DAHH!

DAHH!

Any news, Dizzy?

Also, I am so bummed that Vermont is so much slower than California AGAIN. I swear, it's like we're 2+ months behind the CSC folks on ROC! Oh, well!

Hope y'all are well!!

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well. I am preparing our packet, should be mailed out by the end of the week or early next week. Has anyone heard back yet that has sent theirs in? Is it just me, I thought this packet was easier to put together. Anyone thinking of naturalizing next?

Enjoy your evening,

Lise

Wow, 4 years ago!!!

Thank you for remembering us! We filed ROC in November 2013 and hope to hear something soon.

Thought I'd stop by to say Hi and wish you and all 2010 Decemberite K1'ers a smooth ROC journey!

Bobby

Congrats on your ROC approval!!!

Thank you Lise,

Congratulations on your quick approval! I found out today that my biometrics are waived, but told that it can be up to 7 months to be approved. Keeping my fingers crossed that I do not received a RFE this time

For those who were approved and have their 10 year card...are you considering naturalizing?

Hi Lise, looks like Uncle Sam needs to return your biometrics fee, yea probably not.

I will encourage Jenie to go through the the naturalization process so she can sponsor a family member to come here, it takes 10 years for that so the sooner she gets started the better..
