Many congratulations CardiffIan!

Does anyone have any recent experiences for going through passport control upon arrival in America? Just wondering how long the process takes with looking through paperwork and taking fingerprints, etc. I guess it's just the luck of the draw, depending on how many people are coming through to get green cards that day. Is it a painless process?

Waiting for the movers to pick up our boxes. Anytime between 11am and 6pm!

No such place as America - it's 50 states and they are all different.

In some they haul you into a back room for 2 hours and in some they stamp you through fast !

I am going for Chicago - thats a nice one - long line but a nice one - I was through with my K1 in less than 3 minutes.

Yes Chicago is the airport we'll be arriving at!

Hooray ! piece of cake - lovely people - I always join the line with a male officer - you just smile pleasantly and its no prob.

Scowling chicks with badges and guns make me uneasy..

Then you will be up those potholed Illinois toll roads until you get to that lovely smooth tool-free road in Wisconsin...

Done it VERY many times

haha ! guess who has an interview date ! my NVC date was before everyone else's but they gave me the last interview date !

MY INTERVIEW DATE IS OCTOBER 19 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's perfect because I dont want to go til 5th November so I would rather my VJ buddies got the october 3...

If I go 3rd november I will get a conditional green card and then have to do removal in 2 years

If i go 7th November I will not have been in country 5 years on my 65th birthday so I wont get Medicare

so it has to be 5th november

I really thought they would interview me 6th nov and just spoil my plans by one day

THIS 19OCT is perfect !!!!!

medical this thursday so i really needed forms too ! so thats great

many thanks to all my VJ buddies and a few I have locked horns with too - you have all kept me going through this utter nightmare

ok opinion please - I married (ok we married) 4th november 2005 on elm street haha !

Do you reckon if I go Sunday 4th November then I am due a 10 year card or has it to be after midnight -ie the 5th - come on you techies and train spotters and experts !
