@LoveMyTico: was your interview date moved up as well or is it still the same?

I hope not !! I already booked my flight. I am fine with the 15th. I haven't heard anything.

SO incase anyone has noticed,,, I have been a quiet lately... Well.... I will give you the short version...

Last Tuesday I was laid off from my job and I was al little freaked out until my daughter saved the day and said she would sponsor my husband. She filled out an AOS and gave me her transcripts for the last 3 years. We have a copy of her birth cert and SS card. She makes plenty for 2 people. dwheels and saylin gave me excellent advice. I just hope the interview goes well and they accept the new AOS. Our lawyer told me we should be fine. I just hope a copy of her birth cert is enough because she can't find the original.

Has this happened to anyone else? What was the outcome? Any help would be appreciated !!!!! :cry:
