I did my biometrics on the 20th. Hours of driving for 10 mins of stuff. Indianapolis is over 2 hours away. At least its done though.

Today My status was updated for residence and I am pleased to say my application was sent to California! Keeping my fingers crossed because I can almost see that finishing line.

Heck yeah it posted! Good sign! Lol. Ok as far as my update goes AOS is filed..checks cashed..receipt letters received and last touched Dec 23rd. So I may finally get to join you finished with uscis for two years people! Hoping no rfe etc. I get kenyth to take my phone to work now and I keep the blackberry ..so if these posts keep working I should be able to stay in touch more! I missed all of you. We have started house hunting and found one or two that interested us but then found out the neighbourhood is questionable..so we are still looking. Not trying to be too picky but we are looking for something that we can stay in for a long time. That's about all that had been going on with us that is major.

Krystle I love your faith and positivity..you're right..it Wilk work out because of it. Frenzy I hope it all works out..good luck. Ok..hitting post now..fingers crossed Lol

Hi Guys!!!

Sorry for not being on here... all we have is Kenyth's Blackberry still. They don't have cable/dsl lines where we are lol...and try finding modem drivers for windows 7 for dialup internet.. omg. lmao.

We are hoping to move after christmas. We've been staying with his grandparents since we moved here. We got all our paperwork done for AOS and we're filing this week.

I am very sorry for not being able to keep in touch... I haven't forgot about any of you. I hope everything is going well. Kenyth is still working hard. Hoping that our package goes through smoothly.

It is best to reach me by email or facebook though. mystic.scientific@yahoo.com

I hope you all are ready for the holidays and have a wonderful (for those who celebrate it) Christmas as it being your first as husband and wife!!! xoxo

great news frenzy! Everything works out!

How did the biometics go Krystle?!

We are moving to Indiana next week. Kenyth is out of the Marine Corps... someone ahead of him accepted the package - if they didn't Kenyth would have gotten it. That was the only option he had to stay in at this time because his contract has been up for awhile. Either way, hopefully he will get a job when we get to Indiana (I'm sure he will) and worst case scenario is he reenlists back into the marine corps. (He'll start at the same place he was when he left, so not a big deal). Though I have been very sad, I don't really want to leave South Carolina.

We still have the money for AOS..but still can't apply until he lands a job in Indiana, as we need the employment proof as you all know.

I am so glad to hear everything is going well for everyone ... and Kayla I hear you guys are house hunting..I hope that works out!!!!

Kenyth goes for his test tomorrow for re-enlistment...after that I think an interview. Hoping he does well. We would really like him to stay in for awhile. Still holding off on AOS because of job and well very soon here an address change lol.

Kayla, today is your biometrics yes??? From what I hear it's pretty straight forward, finger prints and photos again? I might be mistaken...lemme know how it goes for you guys though!!! Best of luck =)

Frenzy!! How was POE????????

Oh frenzy, I hope POE goes well today and I really hope the rest of the stuff works itself out. I would ignore the MOH and Mother in law. It's your wedding. Do whatever it is you guys want and need to do!

I hope financially it all works out in the end though and that you both have a beautiful wedding day...WITH FAMILY. How odd for the family to say they don't think they are going to make it to the wedding... geez.

Oh, I didn't even think of checking the expiry date on the forms! TY Kayla, I'll make sure they are correct before we send it :D

tick tock, 6 more days for you sweetie, !!!! Interview..It's going to be great!~!
Maggie_KenythFemale02010-08-05 06:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Congrats on approval Jenn!!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kayla, yay on the interview...GOOD LUCK!!!!

As for us, we still haven't even applied for AOS yet..still waiting to hear if he's still going to have a job at the end of this month...lol...and I have yet to apply for my social security - which is too late now - I have to wait for my EAD to be approved during AOS to apply for it..good thing you don't need it for AOS. We have AOS ready.. it's just his end of employment date will be on his Commanding Order Letter that we have to give for proof of employment.. so we will probably end up with a RFE or denied because we won't meet the financial aspect of having a perm job .. We'll know in a few more weeks.. and either way it'll be fine - it's just we're stuck in waiting until he's re-enlisted or out so he can land a civilian job...

We finally got a car last night too..because he finally got his licence lol ...nothing fancy but it was cheap and runs.. This is going to save a lot of headaches. Financially we had the money when AOS was due at the end of june start of july - but we had the miscarriage and then His original contract was suppose to be up last month..but we got an extension.. so we were in the same situation we're in now..waiting.. LOL

It'll all work out though.

Again - I haven't been ignoring you guys... just a lot trying to get done still.- Dealing with my bank in canada is giving me a headache too.. I wish they had a branch down here. Apparently they didn't receive two checks I sent in for payment.. so they froze my account..which didn't go over well considering the girl who sublets from me has to deposit money into my account to pay rent...The apartment people said it has to come from my account UNTIL my lease is up.. It's very hard to keep an account open when you have no income going into it or way of depositing money into it.

Other than all that stuff though, living here has been amazing, and I love being married. Kenyth is an amazing husband. I'm very grateful that everything has worked out for us..and for all of you guys.

<3

yeah, we're going to be filing here this week anyway..but just in case, i was glad to hear this after 90 day thing.

Jenn I am glad to see you're doing well, and I think I read only 3 more chemo sessions left??? I wish you all the best and I'm always thinking of you <3!

Krystle, you're right..everything happens for a reason..and I need to just dive right back in.

I didn't realize that advance parole is another 300 on top of the 1010 :P lame!
Maggie_KenythFemale02010-07-16 08:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
OH thats good to hear about the 90 days... How long do we have exactly? :P

Ahh Krystle... It will happen honey (babydust wishes!).. I think I would have punched the girl that told me it was positive but not my test :P

Well, after a miscarriage, it depends on the type of miscarriage, your doctor, how far along and how well you and your body recovered. If you have a d&c - that's a lot for your body and it does need time to heal! It can be up to a 6 week wait or more depending if you are still bleeding/spotting. They want you to wait until that stops. Reason is because you can get an infection.

I had a complete miscarriage, and the blood stopped within an hour afterwards (with spotting for about 2 weeks). It was natural and the baby came out in tact on its own

They examined the baby to make sure everything came - usually they will do an ultrasound on you to make sure - i didn't have to... reason is some women still have tissue that comes out a few days later or even a week or so later.

Most doctors will ask you to wait because it's emotional.. also it can take weeks for the pregnancy hormone to get out of your body.., and they want to make sure your body heals. They say 1 - 3 cycles to wait before trying. My doctor told me that once I stop spotting I can have sex again...and if I feel up to it there is nothing medically holding me back from trying this month - however, they would recommend i wait to have my first period after the miscarriage.

But I had 2 nurses and 2 doctors tell me the same thing.. but I am a little scared to try again...but if it happens..it happens.

Hi Everyone

Sorry I haven't been around. :P .. Been pre-occupied, but thought of you all often.

Kayla, I am so glad you are married, and I LOVED the wedding photos.

My AOS Package is also almost complete (ha..good thing since my 90 days expires here really soon) - had so much going on that it also went on the back burner for awhile :S

We may be moving here really soon too. Not sure. Kenyth's Military Contract is up at the end of the month. He applied for reenlistment but we are not sure if his package will be approved or not. If it is we still have to move either way lol. This makes filling out the financial form needed for AOS very very interesting.

I've also finally cleared up the last bit of spotting yesterday since the miscarriage.. yay. It means we can officially start trying again. =)

Anyway, I really hope you are all well, and please know if I am not here often - it's not because I no longer care, it's just because I've been so occupied =(.

Karen BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I'm jealous of you and mathew Kayla... I still haven't found the time to go apply for my social or transfer my drivers licence yet .. lol grr.

I did however, start the AOS Forms. Which I did read you need to fill out part of the 693 and have a civil surgeon verify vaccinations or something...

Forms don't look too bad... we're hoping to have them mailed in by my dead line, which is July..though I heard if you're a late that it didn't seem to be a problem..

We just got the money (im still upset about the cost).. its finding the way and time to get to the civil surgeon .. we're trying to get our car..but kenyth and I and the lady selling it to us need to get into the legal department on base in order to get it.

We're going to Florida for a little getaway next weekend, for a week, then when we come back we're having two guests for awhile - kenyth's brother and kenyth's military friend..and I finally got my two doctors appointments, one on the 29th and one on the 1st of July....

Jenn... lol what an interesting story. Lose 2lbs...lol ..#######.

I miss you guys, and I'm sorry I haven't been checking in much. Once july hits - I SHOULD have more time. Until then.. I am usually updating on facebook.

No sickness...somedays I feel gross..but no sickness thank goodness. So far I barely feel pregnant lol.

Oh Krystle..I had no idea, thank you! I will have to call and check to make sure!

Kayla - yeah stress can play a big factor.. I know ive made mine late for those reasons sometimes. But im glad Mathew is arriving tomorrow!!!!

I knew I was pregnant.. Idk how I knew but I knew.. I turned to Kenyth a few weeks ago and said.. I'm pregnant just so you know.. and we both laughed.

Then 3 days I woke up extremely tired and not feeling good.. and I started to doubt it and think oh its from the move.. and waking up so early. Then the next day I was fine but I saw two dots of blood (sorry if im being gross) ..they were the size of this . so then I thought okay maybe I am wrong and my period is coming. Then yesterday I had a bigger spot but brownish..and thought okay my period is going to come in a few hours..but nothing.. so when Kenyth got home from work I said.. lets go get a test

Read the instructions.. and I got him to count the seconds as I stuck it in a cup..and i said okay ..2 mins now.. go away...and then I went and asked is two mins up. He said yes..I went and looked..I kinda threw the test back down ..backed into a corner and screamed.. WHAT IS THIS.. KENYTH ..WHAT IS THIS..

lol.. so we found out together..we're both happy.. nervous.. but happy. I can go into the doctor as soon as I get a way over there, I pee on a stick for them to confirm and then they refer me to an OB.

It feels weird... like its not real yet.
