My DL and Texas ID cards arrived in the mail today! I will have to renew them next year since I used EAD to apply for them and they are valid only for a year. And renew them again when I get my 10 yr CG, but it's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall good

Been running around. Got my hard copy interview notice on Thursday. Went to SSA to change to my married name and got my DL renewed. I'm feeling great!

Now to start beefing up my packet for my interview.

Those of you that had interviews... How did you organize your photo album? I have to go buy one because all my photos are stored on the computer.

Flying fish - you could print an album on shutterfly or apple or Walmart etc. we've done that for wedding photos for our own use and it is lovely.

I used Walgreens and searched for discount coupons online, I save a lot of $ since I printed close to 1,000 pics. I did not use them all for the interview but because it was time to have a decent photo album of our trips, holidays, etc to enjoy any time we want rather than have them store in the computer for years. Our IO went through our wedding photo album page by page, and for the other one she just flipped thru the pages and made few comments.

Thanks! So they ship the album with the photos already inside?

Thanks! Did you use tabs to separate the events?

Not at all, there were way too many pictures I spent 3 days sorting them out and placing them in the photo album. I did my best to put them in chronological order but at some point I did few pages of Christmas over the years, same thing with birthdays. I did some theme embellishments and some color background for some as if it was a scrapbook and they turned out really nice.

She flipped over the first pages and gave it back. She didn't get to see the birthdays, Christmas, camping trips, vacation, etc.

I wanted to be safe than sorry and prepared ourselves as if where to be scrutinized.

I also recently ordered a photo book from Walgreens of our vacation for my MIL, it was very cheap to my surprise, but I wasn't too thrilled with the quality of the pages, the look cheap tho. Next time I will try OfficeMax and expect better quality of paper.

They are basically a photo book. The pictures are printed in pages, the neat thing is that you get to choose the theme for the pages background and use captioning for each picture. You can also chose what cover you want. They are worth it, but like I mentioned in my other reply, I won't use Walgreens again for photo books, I want to give it a try to OfficeMax hoping for better quality. Walgreens photo album looks like you printed your own pictures in a glossy sheet, the color is not very bright and rather looks blurry.
