The Vent

[Sprailenes 47]

Nope not even. He's the oldest and he has a little brother who's 23.

Before when we were moving, she wasn't like this. I mean I have my son here, lucky he's in Canada right now visiting my mom. But its crowded and hectic with all of us here. She should be happy. And stop the low blow comments. Like I just want to tell her: "Okay, its fine that you will miss your son, but you need not act like a teenager about it"

He's moved out before. I think shes nuts. Yep thats it. Shes nuts lol.

Can't wait for you to get the heck out of there Sprailenes so you and your husband and son begin your NEW life free of this MIL! I've read over the year the family dynamics, and can't help but think that everything will be SO different once you're out of there. Best wishes!

So true what Carla said.

No your MIL can't be happy for you, whether it's a control issue or her Son moving out or controlling her Son moving out

Can anyone tell me why some people get their conditional permanent resident card (aka green card) in 3 months and why some people have been waiting for years?

It is not like they even had an RFE.

I hope I haven't fallen through a crack.

I'd like to have this process completed so that I do not need to think of it anymore, and my partner and I will have more options open to us.

Mine took almost 7 months, so you're doing fine. They probably got a hit on your name and have to go through the verification process. It'll come.

Thanks for your response Krikit.

I appreciate someone getting back to me.

LOL

Yes, Krikit's a bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, the rest of the folks here are just swill.

BTW, Mom and Pop got theirs in one month and Pop went through AP so maybe they felt guilty. On the other hand, that would imply some form of a conscience...

Oh no no not swill darling!

There is plenty of love to go 'round.

(Just not for the governmental types.)

No wonder their favourite show was Tetched By An Angel. I think that the natural order of progression goes something like this: 1.) Listen to hours of Pink Floyd music, 2.) Get comfortably numb, 3.) Work at mindless civil service job, where conscious thought avails us nought.

I was being facetious, all the folks here are valuable members of society whose import cannot be underestimated. This applies equally to everyone here, well...everyone here except for my sister.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

I sympathize, SpiritAlight - our AOS took 22 months with no RFEs or anything. It even took 9 months after being transferred to California!

Today seems to be a grouch day for me - Grrrr! We keep getting junk mail from State Farm Insurance even though I have called a number of times and told them to stop sending mail here - the thing is the name they are sending it to is a friend who lives in Canada. She ordered something on e-bay ONCE that the seller wouldn't ship out of the country so she sent it here and I took it to the post office to forward to her. Now we keep getting mail for her from State Farm Insurance. I have called several times to say Stop! Then yesterday, she received something and my husband received 8 copies of the same form letter all from different State Farm Insurance agents in the area! I finally got a hold of head office and they said they would remove the names from their lists after I complained about harassment. We'll see.

Then, I ordered 2 books from Amazon on June 27 and they were both shipped on June 27 from two different suppliers. The one arrived July 2nd but when the other still hadn't arrived today, I tracked it online to find out it has been sitting in Atlanta since July 1st. When I went to the post office to find out why they just said they had to wait for Atlanta to get enough mail to send to them and it would probably arrive in a few days. It has already been sitting there 8 days - I even offered to drive to Atlanta to pick it up. Another Grr - and a complaint on the USPS website.

Then, it started to feel warm inside. We have the a/c set on 78 and outside it is in the 90s. I checked the thermostat and it was 81 inside. There was a star flashing on the a/c temperature so I went outside to check the air conditioner and it isn't working. I came inside, turned it off, checked the manual and there is no information. So I called some friends and found several who referred me to the same Heating and Air Conditioning service, so I have someone coming tomorrow afternoon between 1 and 5 to check it out. Tomorrow is supposed to get even hotter. Tonight is supposed to stay warm as well but there is a chance of thunderstorms - I hope they come because they will cool off the air and then when I open the windows we may get some cool air inside overnight. So, triple GRRS!

And - of course, no one has looked at my I-751 file which is still sitting in Vermont while those who filed in California after we did are getting approved. (Might as well go for the whole hog while I am venting!).

wow i am excited about a place to vent, it is completely non immigration related but oh well....

So, i work for a company, its a call centre, anyway, last monday i get called into a meeting with 2 managers, and they go through this whole thing with me about what i need to work on blah blah blah, normal stuff, then they start telling me that i have been hanging up on people, and not like a couple people, we're talking like 50 calls in 3 days, that is a whole days worth of calls, and they are telling me this like nothing like its just normal and then at the end all calm the manager says "so we're sending you home now on suspension and we will contact you to know if your to come back or not" well, a week and a day later, im still sitting here at home going #######?? and waiting for them to call me, well yesterday i called to ask whats going on and find out what they have decided cause i mean really, does it take a week to decide if they are going to fire me? and i really didn't feel after last monday that they were going to call and tell me to come back, so i just want to know so i know if i should get a job or what (i have been looking since the day it happened) but anyway, so i called yesterday, and this is what they said, "you dont need to call and ask, we will contact you when we decide how we are going to DEAL with you" like im some kind of criminal, and i didn't even do what they are saying.

so thats my vent lol, but on the bright side, i got a call today for an interview on friday

I'd give them the heave-ho and tell them to shove the job. One question though...were you hanging up on 50 people in 3 days?
