It is Sunday -- time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke*:

     *Easter, so a church joke

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
GOING BATTY

Three pastors were having lunch in a diner.  One said, "You know, since summer started, I've been having trouble with bats in my loft and attic at church.  I've tried everything -- noise, spray, cats -- nothing seems to scare them away."


The second pastor said, "Me, too.  I've got hundreds of bats living in my belfry and in the attic.  I've even had the place fumigated, and they won't go away."


The third said, "I baptized all of mine, and made them members of the church.  Haven't seen one back here since!"

:P

Hello Family...

As you all know that my GC is just approved but it isn't delivered yet since March 12th. My question is that after receiving my GC if i merry to my Girl Friend but she is immigrant. Do you think if i file for her she will get work permit? It will be great help if you can explain the whole process here.

Thanks in advance.

if approved march 12th, just give it 3 week-ish to receive your actual GC. its a bit slow lately for shipping

 

u can always file i-130 for her but thats about it. 

she cant get working permit, until her priority date become current and she can file i-485. every month you have to check the visa bulletin.
