Ebony: You guys will always be in my thoughts and prayers! Be sure to tell us how it goes, everything!

Hope I can teach Marlon that he will not be needing a different color pair of Timberlands for the days of the week, with matching shirts!

(L) to my Yardie family!

Congrats Ebony! That sounded so easy :dance:

Congrats Shauna! You should be good to go now :yes:

Well back in April I applied for a job with the county sheriffs office as a records specialist. I went in for civil service testing yesterday (which was pretty hard honestly) but I passed everything with great scores. Now I have to wait to see if I am selected for oral boards (scored interview by a panel including the chief examiner) if I pass that I have to go through background checks and polygraph testing. Then they combine your scores from everything and make a list of the top however many and choose from that. Trust me it is quite the process and they say it will be another 4-6 weeks til they choose someone and it has already been almost 2 months! Crazy!

Anyways I am excited to have passed...hopefully I can pass the rest. Working for the county would pay almost 40% more plus all the great state benefits. Plus once you are in you are in :yes:

For those of you that have recently filed for the CR-1 visa, what forms do you need to file initially? On this site it states that you need the I-130 and the G325 A. On the Dept. of State website it states that you need the I-130 and the DS230 along with the I-864. Which did you guys do FIRST?

First you will need to submit the I-130 and G-325A forms along w/the necessary documents to USCIS. Once you recv your approval your case will se sent to the NVC. At that stage the I-864 and DS-230 part 1 along w/your spouse biographical page will be needed then. Also if he doesn't have access to email then you might want to bring the DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) form.

I'm not sure how often you will be traveling to JA (after the wedding) but it may be a good idea to bring ALL the forms and have him sign them. Make sure he doesn't date them so you can once it's due w/o paying add'l mailing charges.

Thanks...I know this is WAAAAYYY premature since we can't even file again until Oct. of 2009, but I just wanted an idea of the order of things...I'm not really pressed right now about getting anything done, just wanted an idea of how it would go...unfortunately I will have many many trips to JA between now and then....unless, by God's grace some miracle occurs and they actually happen to take a real look at our case again... :(

It's ok I know how it can be. I like to know any and everything about something before I jump into it.

what shipping method does everyone use to ship packages to ja? I have always used the regular postal service which is reasonably priced but takes forever to get there. I want to send a package to get there in no more than a week...but don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money...any thoughts?

I normally sent them FedEx but I get 75% off b/c my brother-in-law works at FedEx Kinko's. I'm not sure how much they normally cost but the packages usually get their within a week.

Congratulations to eric on the green card and to Belwin Mills on the visa. :thumbs:

As far as passports and things, how does it work if I hyphenate? Do I still have to change all my legal documents? What about if I don't hyphenate and do [firstname] [maidenname] [marriedname]? I don't want to do away with my own name, I'd still like to be able to use it.

JLVR - you have to legally change your name hyphenated or not. I didn't drop my maiden name. All I had to show was my marriage certificate when I applied for my passport.

But does that mean all of my documents have to change, also, like my SS card, driver's license, passport? I still want to be able to go by [firstname] [maidenname] when I want or need to. :(

My sister changed her name but she still has her state ID in her maiden name for personal reasons.

For a letter to JA or documents I use DHL i paid $28.00 for 2 day delivery

Ebony - Congratulations!!!!!

My husband can care less about clothes. I try matching up stuff for him all he says is as long as their clean, he don't care. I'm hoping when he comes here he will care a little bit about fashion.

Don't feel bad I'm the same way. As a woman you would think I love shopping but it's the total opposite. I could care less. :no: My daughter on the other hand is something else. I try to shop for her but most of the names she's calling out I have NO IDEA!!! :lol:
