I will have to start taking some folic acid and other vitamins so this morning sickness stops. I didn't even eat anything in the morning and when I woke up spew. Then to make it worse two of my students spewed on me today. My lovely day.

Thanks everyone for the congrats. I really didn't think it would happen so quickly. Rhonda how is everything going in your kneck of the woods? :luv:

Be aware that some prenatal vitamins can actually make morning sickness worse. Some women can't stomach them. I had no problems - I take a prescription one called "Prenate Elite". I also took additional vitmain B6 during the 1st trimester to help with the morning sickness. Also, I found that I was actually sicker when I didn't eat! I had to keep something in my stomach all the time - crackers, toast, pretzels - to keep the nausea at bay.

Things are good with us. I closed on my house on Friday (Aug 31) and we will close on the new house this Thursday, Sept. 6. Then Tony has a lot of painting to do :whistle: and we have to get new carpet before we move in. I'm also trying to get ready for my baby shower which is going to be at the end of October. I'm registering at Babies-r-us which is fun, but also stressful trying to figure out everything that I will need :wacko:

Here's a question for the Yardie vets:

Have any of your fiance's been out of status before filing for AOS? If yes, for how long and were there ANY problems?

Are you thinking money issues, Sarah?

You have a year to file for AOS. The only problem I can think of would be EAD as I'm guessing you will think Marlon needs to work. I don't have the answer on the EAD cause we filed with our AOS. I'm sure someone on here will.

BTW.....got your call over the weekend and yes, I was working. I'm going to call you one night this week to wish you luck on Friday. I'm sure you are just splitting with happiness. I'm excited for you.

Sarah, I'm thinking you should talk to kelly (luvT). I think they just filed for Craig after almost a year (?) I could be wrong, though.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

yes they waited a year to file....from what i have heard/read there really is no time limit on when to file...as long as you get married within the 90 days everything is all good...you met your obligations per the k-1 visa..

I've been so darn busy lately that I haven't had time to jump on and see what's been happenin.

Yes, we waited .....it was 1 yr and 1 month, but we waited because I truly didn't think we would be together and then the flippin rates were changing!! There is not an actual deadline to file and trust me I've researched this extensively. As long as you're married within the 90 days of him stepping foot into the US. He will not be able to work "legally" until you file for the EAD, but now ...you can't file for just that, you have to pay for the entire kittenkaboodle which is $1010.00 !! Some have even waited up to the 2 yrs and filed for AOS and had no problems.

If money is the issue, you should never bring that up ever to immigration, because once you file for AOS...and put your name on that dotted line, YOU are "financially" responsible for him for up to 10 yrs. Now, Craig has NO IDEA about this nor will I ever tell him!!

As of today, it's been 35 freakin days..............STILL checks have not been cashed !!! I know they received my package, because I have the name and signature, but that's how far behind they are with the K1's.

I think you should both take a trip and spend a couple weeks there, I bet he will want to come back here. He might be a bit nostalgic, nostalgia only remembers the fun things.

Does he have his green card yet to go back? Does he have any family in the states to visit?

She filed for the K1 visa so he wouldn't have his green card yet. I believe she's waiting for the AP.
