I know...waiting sucks ;( I just want my AP so I can go visit my family back home.... I want to go visit my family too. But were so close to our interview we are just waiting until after to go. I'm hoping to surprise them for either Canadian thanks giving or xmas! Hope everyone hears some news this week!	Starburst	Female	Canada	2009-08-27 11:38:00

I've only been there once but it's really close! Are you living there? Starburst-I will be living there by the end of September! darnit Im horrible with quoting...LOL hahah!! The plains are such a HUGE difference for me! Coming from Toronto to Sioux Falls, SD was like a culture shock! The one advantage is it's cheaper! The downside is that I have to drive ALL the way to St.Paul, MN for my interview (4 hours from here) I have heard that Omaha has a kick #### zoo though!! Yes it is a much lower cost of living! Homes are much more affordable than where I live right now. I heard the zoo is great too, its supposed to be the best in the country! Eeek I am sorry you have to drive so far for your interview!! Why wouldn't they just send you to Omaha?? That's only 2.5 hours away!! I heard Omaha has a field office that does AOS interviews?!?!? Humm maybe different states have different jurisdiction? Well on the bright side if my fiance was still living in ND.....we would have had to travel 8 hours to St. Paul if we had an AOS interview! 16 hours of driving! Not to mention 4 hours of driving to Fargo just to get fingerprinted!! ...another 8 hours of driving:wacko: Yeah homes are insanely cheap here! The house we really are looking at getting built is only around $150k for a 3 bedroom! I def need to visit the zoo sometime! I was honestly hoping they would send me to Omaha, but then I looked up the USCIS office and the St.Paul Office serves MN,ND & SD. ack 8 hours to St.Paul! I would die! My husband is NOT a fan of driving so we booked a hotel room the night before our interview literally right across the street from the office. So we plan to drive up the night before so we are at least breaking up the roundtrip drive. I was really scared that I would have to drive to St.Paul for fingerprints, but lucky me they have a office downtown here!	Starburst	Female	Canada	2009-08-26 12:25:00

Canada	AOS'rs...	QUOTE (poprocks @ Aug 25 2009, 05:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Star....welcome! We both post in the July thread too! Glad things are rolling for you I'm a couple weeks behind you, and hoping to see my AP and EAD in the next couple weeks... So far no touches since my bio appmnt... I've been reading all this stuff on the outside forums on package preparation...binders...clips...etc...I never put so much thought into it..I did use a whole lot of paper clips...here's to hoping i didn't piss anyone off on a Monday morning....lol... I wouldn't worry too much about it. I used A LOT of stuff. I'm talking tons. I used paper clip to separate the application from the evidence then each "type" of evidence I sent it was separated, then each "package" I sent in had one big monster clip. So In total, I had 3 big clips (one for I-130, one for I-485 & one to hold the entire thing together) and then I would say another 30+ paper clips for everything in between! I bet in the next week or so you'll hear about your EAD. They seem to be moving fairly quickly Edited by Starburst, 26 August 2009 - 12:32 AM.	Starburst	Female	Canada	2009-08-26 00:30:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Travelling during ROC	All I needed to hear - thanks everyone!	Starburst	Female	Canada	2011-06-27 11:35:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Travelling during ROC	Does the NOA1 for the ROC not serve as an extension for a year? I figured that I would just bring that long with my GC. I just renewed my passport so no worries about that expiring. Thank you!	Starburst	Female	Canada	2011-06-26 19:22:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Travelling during ROC	Hey everyone, Tomorrow my ROC package will be mailed (we were able to mail it on June 24th/11). My questions is, from August 27th to September 11th I will be out of the country in Europe. A friend is getting married and I'm heading over there with a friend from Canada to celebrate and do some travelling. My husband will be remaining home however. Could this be a bad idea, with my ROC in progress? I most likely will have my bio in July, and my local office allows walk ins so I should have that done quickly. I didn't worry about an RFE's because my husband is home and can deal with. Should I worry at all? Last time (about two weeks ago) when I came through customs the officer warned me not to travel close to my green card expiration date (why, I don't know). Thanks everyone! /starburst	Starburst	Female	Canada	2011-06-26 17:45:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 June 2011 Filers	Anyone travel with only their GC and NOA?

Anyone else have any recent experience traveling? Just little nervous here. Just got back from Europe a few weeks back with no issues! Just make sure you have a photocopy with someone in the US, and bring one with you as well! Have fun! /Starburst	Starburst	Female	Canada	2011-09-23 19:25:00

I just need to assemble the piles of stuff I have! Question: Does anyone think it would be a bad idea for me to go on vacation in late August/September overseas while ROC is in progress? I'm highly doubting that we'll get called for an interview, but I don't want to assume we won't either. I'm about to book my tickets (the hubby is staying here though, I'm going with a friend so he can check the mail, deal with any RFE's ect.)
