Thanks!
How are things for you? Did you adjust well?

I think we are still adjusting but we'll be fine. I'm tired of being stuck at home but I'm going to continue studying soon, so I won't have time to be bored

Can't believe it's been 1 year to the date since filing I-29F! It is taking longer to get AP/EAD approved than the I-29

Congratulations! I wish your beautiful family all the best and a very happy life together!

@Diego&Dianna: Congratulations! You look beautiful! All the best for your future!

@pajobra: Haha, good to know someone saw I'm gone! Nah, it was really busy here. We flew around, then we moved, time flies! How's life treating you in CO?

@Eric&Olya: Oh, I feel you! I'm not in a hurry to get to work, because after all the stress in the last 9 months I finally get to just stay home. BUT... staying home is not healthy. So I'll look into taking the GED for now.

@gob332: When did you file AOS? I did middle of December, but I just looked on my timeline for fun and saw my estimate got kicked back to the end of March. Before it was beginning/middle. Seems February has a curse on, since last year in Feb all the delays in the K1 started. So many of us got soooo lucky to slip through with such a short processing time.
I feel so bad for people, seeing they wait 220+ days for NOA2 now, while my ENTIRE process took 139 days.

Pretty good so far. I finally got a 3 year temp Colorado License by showing them my NOA1 from AOS. I started volunteering for the non profit organization that runs the local public libraries used bookstores. Other than that just a lot of housekeeping. lol Time sure does fly.

OMG congratulations!!! That is wonderful news. *jumps up and down* Great to hear.  I love hearing about people getting pregnant. I can't so I live through others. LOL Yay baby pictures.

Hello dear March whiners! 

Long time no see! But I'm happy it's all for the good reasons, I hope everyone is doing well and life is so much better next to your sweethearts

 

Has anyone had any developments with AOS (or more like EAD?) The 87 page thread is overwhelming, so I hope y'all forgive me for asking without reading LOL 

 

Cheers! Congrats everyone on all the weddings and even babies!

Yes, this went a lot faster than I anticipated. Our personalities and senses of humor are just so perfectly compatible. It feels like being with one of my life long friends. I had to watch my words with my ex, but not anymore. 😂 There's a wonderful sense of freedom in it.

 

As for the process, they cashed my check yesterday and I'm waiting on NOA1 again.

Hello fellow March Whiners!

Long time, no see! I thought, since there are new March people going to start a thread soon I might pop in and say hi to you all! :))

It's gotten silent in here - understandably, since everybody moved on with their path!

Congratulations to everyone who got married, had POE and and and... since I was here last! <3 

As for us: We sent out AOS in December, have moved to a house in the meantime, still have no dog... all good!

Keep up being great, you all!

Greetings and hugs from Virginia!

Hey girl! So happy to see good old fellow Marchies posts here! 

Don't think we are whiners after moving to our beloved 

Good to hear everything is good with you! Keep on going! 

 

 

As for us: we sent our AOS package on January 26th and our NOA 1 date is February 6th. Also this weekend got a mail with biometrics date set on March 6th. 

So happy! No web-site/application or e-notification update though. 

 

And in the meantime we are preparing for the wedding in fall, late October to be more precise. A lot of stuff to do and not so easy but we keep moving to make our dreams and plans come true. Sometimes I feel sad and miss my Ukraine but I guess it's just a matter of time staying home alone doing nothing in particular and absence of super tough work schedule I had in Kiev for the last 7 years.

Thank you! I was officially called an "old pregnant lady" at the clinic, now I am using it as an excuse to delegate some chores to Eric

Wedding preparation must be exciting! Is it going to be a big reception?

I miss Ukraine too, mostly because I'm stuck in a little town that is very unfriendly to pedestrians. Ugh
