Kendall,

That was good thinking.

Good luck to all of you February Filers!

Thanks -

At the time I was really freaking out and kicking myself for missing it... I thought I had read the form 3 or 4 times and had everything... but apparently, I was focusing on the first page of the I-129 and of course the wonderful 325A ....

Best of luck to you!!! :thumbs:

Guess what... I can not write in THAI! :wacko:

So... after panicking a few minutes and kicking myself for not having Suphee write her address for me a few days earlier when I was still in Thailand, I remembered the local Thai restaurant... they of course congratulated me and said 'Of course one of us would be glad to write the address in Thai for you..."

:dance: : :dance: : :dance: : :dance: : :dance: : :dance:

Hahahaha. Thats some quick thinking. I think we should recommend that for people who ask about things needing translation. Just take it to your local ____________ ethnic restaurant and have your docs translated while you eat!

Question for y'all:

How did you organize your papers? I punched two holes in the top and planned on attaching them with one of those metal fasteners, but it turns out the holes are too far apart. Any alternate suggestions?

And I was going to affix sticky tabs to the bottom with the different types of info so they could be flipped to easily...but then I was thinking that they might not like having a sticky tab on things like the I129F form. Any ideas?

Or does this sound okay?

After wrestling with the fasteners and realizing that the holes were too far apart, I started writing the check. Hadn't noticed that I had given myself a papercut and proceeded to bleed all over the check. Unbelievable.

Staples has a squeeze clamp report notebook. It has a spring loaded metal camlock that latches and holds about 5/8" of paper.

Hope that helps!

Aloha all,

Just sealed our I-129 packet and post office bound tomorrow morning. I work for the County government here and had the luxury of having the immigration department two floors down. My friend who reviewed it said it was the best he had seen - so I hope that is a good omen.

Can anyone give me a rough idea on what to expect time-wise to bring my ku`uipo from the Philippines?? I see lotsa conflicting and confusing numbers out there.

Good luck to all us Febbers,

Bill and Joan

Howzit braddah!!

Nice to see other Hawai'i folks on the board - I'm a misplaced kama'aina in currently bitterly cold(10 degrees F when I walked out the door this morning) NYC, damn it's on days like this when I miss the islands... :(

Kinda ironic an island girl like me finds a love from a landlocked country no? :lol: We tease each other about whose homeland really has the world's tallest mountain... :P

IMUA!!!!!
