Thanks! And by the way, VJ not only limits the amount of thumbs up you can give per day but they also limit the amount of emoticon you can put in one post. ( I went a little crazy in my cc post!) LOL!!! I had to delete some before I could post it! :rofl::rofl: :rofl:

Oh, I knew about the emoticons restriction years ago, lol. When I replied to you (and a few others at the same time), I had to take out a couple of your emoticons in your post, so I could post my reply :P:lol:

All this talk lately about kittys, I decided to change my pic and show everyone my Sweet Pea! She's a big supporter of my workouts! As you can see. She just needs some pom poms! She can't wait to meet her Kitty Daddy! LOL

Hehe, so cute!

I'll post a picture of mine too once we decide on which cat to get (and then actually get it). Should be in the next few weeks :yes: Gotta pay the landlord the pet deposit first though :bonk:

When posting, the toolbar at the top, on the first line, third item, it says 'Special BBCode' (to the left of the font). Click that and choose 'Spoiler'. Then write what you want in the spoiler ;)

I only use IE when I (obsessively) check this visa stuff, so I figured I might as well have that page there when I open the darn browser :D

Well brilliant idea, never use IE and wouldn't have even thought of it if you hadn't suggested it. Not there yet but sure will be checking daily many

times when my time comes. Thanks again. :)(F)

So here's a question... I unexpectedly had a job interview on Friday and it went extremely well. Playing the hypothetical game, if I take this job I'd start no sooner than May 5. My husband's interview is May 19. I could update the I-864EZ to reflect my new employer and current income, and include any paystubs I manage to get by then -- probably just one if I'm lucky. I included tax info from 2011, 2012, and 2013 on the original form so no worries there, and my income was well above the requirement for all of those years. My thinking is that if my husband is asked about my work during the interview he can simply say that I've recently started at a new company doing the same work, and provide the updated documents if requested. Does that sufficiently cover our butts?

I would say a big YES, send all you can and cover all basis. I for one think it's a great idea. :)(F)

The US government exclusively uses IE for everything. If you don't use IE when paying or checking or filling out forms, you risk having it not save, not work, etc... If it works in another program you're lucky. :)

If you start a new job you are REQUIRED to do this, it's not just a "maybe we should." :) So yes, this is an excellent idea. :)

Thanks. "Could" was more "this is really all I can do; will it suffice?" rather than "Maybe I'll do this if I get a free minute." :lol: I'm just hoping they wouldn't throw a fuss without an employer letter, for instance, and that a single pay stub would be accepted to back up my new salary. I know London isn't tough stuff and I probably won't be scrutinized much because my income is consistently above requirements anyway. I just really do not want to make a false move this late in the game >.<
