Wow, 4 years ago!!!

Thank you for remembering us! We filed ROC in November 2013 and hope to hear something soon.

Thought I'd stop by to say Hi and wish you and all 2010 Decemberite K1'ers a smooth ROC journey!

Anybody else lacking utility bills together? Luckily, we have life insurance, he's the beneficiary of my 401k and medical insurance. But all the utilities are in my name! Gotta get on that

Holy cow! You did ROC only a year after AOS? How'd you pull that off? I thought we had to do it within 3 months of the date on the green card?

And yay! You got it done. Pretty straight forward?

Here is another great post of what to include in your ROC: What To Include In Your ROC

Of course you don't have to send that much but, you know, just ideas

And please don't send your Credit and Debit cards!!!

We filed AOS on 2011-09-27 and received Green Card on 2012-02-11. The Green Card expires 2014-02-01, so our 90-day window opened on 2013-11-03. We filed ROC on 2014-11-04

We sent bank statements (joint checking account) for every month since September 2011, car titles with both names, home title with both names, property tax with both names for the past 2 years, IRS tax transcripts for 2011 and 2012, airline boarding passes, and our driver licenses showing same address. Sent about 6 photos since they're not important from what I read.

Pretty straight forward I guess. We'll see if the USCIS accepts what we sent

Ahhh! My math was totally wrong. I'm thinking our joint accounts, tax transcripts, birth of our little boy and driver licenses should be pretty good and a few pictures!

Woohoo! They will accept it!

Hello DizzyLox!

[lee&jeniebee 23]

Hi Dizzy, thanks for creating the thread!!! We are just starting to work on our ROC good timing!!! Do you ever hear from Marie?

[kristen_maroc 126]

I have been thinking about the Decemberites a lot lately! I still can't believe we made a friggin' Decemberite cookbook. Talk about over-the-top.... and at the same time, completely and utterly epic. Whatever happened to Mariye??

We filed for ROC last month-- so again, not just K1 but also ROC Decemberites... three years later almost to the day!

I don't think we sent in enough evidence... we sent tax records from last year, car insurance, a lease agreement, pictures, proof of our honeymoon cruise (a year and a half after getting married, ha!), and a few other things, but didn't really show co-mingling finances. I think we might want to go and get more proof of this from the bank and send it in with the receipt copy.

No babies yet on our horizon. Y and I are both 30... but in some ways with immigration stuff, I feel like we are 10 years behind where we should be. I'm finally getting my master's degree, and the US doesn't accept Y's degree, so he's been working and going to community college and hopes to transfer to a 4-year schools soon. With two tuition bills and only working part-time, no time or money for children for us yet, though it'd be nice sometime in the next few years.

Anyway-- great to see so many familiar faces.

Heeeey everyone! So glad to see everyone is doing well and still hanging in there. Ola and I sent our ROC packet on 12/19 and he has his biometrics appointment next week. Wishing everyone a quick approval so we can put away all the forms and proof asap and just enjoy life.

As a October 2010 K1 filer, I can say that I remember your posts! It's amazing that it's already been four years!

Hello DizzyLox!

Hellooooooooooooo gyselle!!!! <3

Hi Dizzy, thanks for creating the thread!!! We are just starting to work on our ROC good timing!!! Do you ever hear from Marie?

You are sooo welcome! I actually last spoke with Marie a year ago! She was doing just fine. I think she forwarded me her details, I'll try to find them and invite her back in to join us! We'll upgrade to a Facebook group soon!! We gotta KIT!

I totally think you sent in plenty of evidence!! That sounds perfect to me! And talk about over-the-top, we were crazy! But man, those were crazy times. lol We all needed that morale boost. I think this december 2014 will be our 4 year VJ anniversary, guys! Crazy crazy crazy! And I totally understand about tuition. My hubby has faced that same struggle and it's really difficult to adjust when you had a 14 year successful career and credentials, and they don't mean squat over here. He's actually taking the GED test right now as I type this so he can start a 2year degree program and the community college. I'm hoping he will go into business for himself. He's so bright and sweet. I think he would be really really great business owner! We just need time. It feels like it has been forever already, but really...starting all over again: credit, education, finances, etc when you're in your 30s and beyond is something that takes time, no matter how demoralizing it is. BUT you are not alone! That at least makes me feel better. We're not alone! AND I'm applying to nursing school! Just wanna do something different. We have a son, Loxley, 19 months old. It's going to be crazy! But we're going to be just fine. Life has a way of just working out, and take it from me, there is no perfect time to have kids!! lol it doesn't matter how ready you think you are...they will turn your world upside down in the best way ever.

Heeeey everyone! So glad to see everyone is doing well and still hanging in there. Ola and I sent our ROC packet on 12/19 and he has his biometrics appointment next week. Wishing everyone a quick approval so we can put away all the forms and proof asap and just enjoy life.

Heeeey GSummit!!! So good to see you again! And YES!! I am SO ready for this to be over!!! Are any of you guys going for naturalization? I'm pushing hubby to! I don't want to deal with this anymore!! That's when we'll need the FB Group so we can all KIT as we say ta-ta to this process! (at least until the in-laws want to come over) lol

Aw, I remember you, too!!! Isn't it crazy? 4 years this year!!!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe it's already time for more paperwork. I can't say I missed it and it's going to be much more challenging as I have to chase after a 9 month old boy that doesn't like to sleep. EVER.

I'm glad to see that DizzyLox created another group for us though. Who needs to pay a lawyer when you have Decemberites to help you through the process!

[Lise+Michael 13]

This thread sure put a big smile on my face! I will say that I am 90% used to living here. It was a bit more adjusting that I thought it would be but all is well and I am staying! Michael is the love of my life We can file our ROC between March and June. I am doing a quick trip to Canada tomorrow to see my beautiful grandchildren and then will hunker down with preparing our package. Did I read correctly that this thread may continue on facebook? I also am interested in hearing about plans/thoughts on naturalization....I know one step at a time but it doesn't hurt to learn more about it

All the best to speed processes for those who have already filed and positive vibes for everyone who is in the process of getting the paperwork together and funds....ouch!

Have a great day!
