I have been "lurking" :whistle: these forums for quite a while now and I must admit.... Your questions and answers are so useful, I never felt the need to ask any myself. But I do feel guilty :blush: about all my lurking that it prompted my first post ever just to say "Hey!" and "Thank you" :thumbs:

We've filed our 485 & 130 end of November and right now we are 'waiting waiting waiting" for things to unfold. No touches for me since Jan 3 :( Bios all done... justa waitin anda pacing the floor :dance:

So there you have it and I can go on not feeling so guilty! :innocent:

Cheers!

Lurk all you want.

If you do not want to spark a public debate, you may want to try and send people a private message to get their opinion.

If you have been lurking that long, I am sure you have a good idea of who and who not to contact.

Thank you, actually, for taking the time to lurk and absorb.... so many just find us and start firing off questions, which wouldn't be so bad if at least SOME initiative for research is indicated.

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Jen

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Nothing wrong with lurking! Honestly if most people spent some time reading this forum 99% of the questions posted on here wouldn't need to be asked. One thing I've noticed here is that the same old stuff gets asked over and over again. Day after day. ;)
