At The Border

[Nancy and Ramos 0]

WOW i don't know where the time has gone. Ramos has been after me to make a post about us crossing and i haven't had more than 2 minutes to spare.

But the prossess went ok but for you crossing in Detroit, do not go at 4pm. Its their shift change and we had 4 officers come up to us to help us and when they found out that we had a K1 Visa to process they said " Na I ain't doing that i am going home in a few minutes and the visa takes a abit of time to process." The officer we did get was the least scary of the rest. He didn't quite know what to do, so it took him a bit of time. I had my list of what was in my boxes that were in the truck and the list of things that were in the 5 boxes that i mailed from HK. They didn't even want to see it. Thank goodness. That was on the 15th of July. we were married on the 23 of July and adoped a dog on the 24th ......lol. Today I went to apply for a Social Security # and it was pretty painless. They suggested that I wait to get my drivers licence untill i get my card in the the mail. They said 7 to 14 days. Pretty smooth so far. We are currently working on getting the adjustment of Status, Advance Prole ( It makes me laugh that they call it that.) and the other one that i always forget......lol I think thats it for now. Everyone enjoy your day. I need a cup of tea after that.

Have fun all

Glad it was a relatively painless crossing!

What kind of dog did you get? Are there photos of the cute puppy?

I'm assuming you cross the border in your husbands US vehicle???? I know there's a post some time ago, but am contemplating bringing my vehicle over, which I think meets the standards. Thanks.

Yep, we crossed over in my truck, Nancy doesnt have a vehicle yet, we are trying to see how long we can get by with just one vehicle.

We adopted a cocker spanial from the Houston SPCA, he is about 5 years old and was "lost and found", he is sooo cute, I will post some pics this evening. He is a very socialable dog and listens quite well. We had him groomed last night as they did a terrible job of cutting his hair at the SPCA place.

Overall we are about 80+ % finished with getting the AOS,EAD, and AP documents finished, I think the only things we have left are signing everything, making a cover letter, and some photo copying of tax returns.

Sincerely,

Ramos

The kettle is SOOO important!! haha I had to take one with me from Canada and a tea pot as well. No one I know here in new jersey does a kettle or a tea pot. In fact, I have a hard time even finding tea bags that aren't single servings!! Some one once tried to serve me lipton tea and it was almost a cause for spitting out!
