I think not knowing is worse. What kills me is first not knowing when the NOA2 will come and then again turning around and not knowing when the interview will take place.

yeah i get a lil sqweemish areound those but at least they can't hurt you, but those bu fu frogs are poisonus to dogs. some people there lick the frogs back to get high.can you imagine?


Yeah my fiance was telling me about those....apparently his mom's cat got ahold of one and he had to stick its head under running water to wash out its mouth. The cat was ok. I haven't seen any yet but I've warned the kids to ASK before handling any 'critters' they find. The poor lizards around here ....they are constantly getting caught. Least the kids set em free still living...they aren't so lucky if the cat gets them.

i lived in miami too and those palmetto bugs are big and they fly. you know they have nests usually in the trees or shrubs that look like a big mess of cobwebs. I know what you mean about those locusts too they are some horny hoppers and get really big. and the same with the boo foo frogs.



I could have went a LONG time (forever maybe) without knowing that they fly.....now the paranoia just increased tenfold. lol

Yeah I never really seen many in Canada either. I seen two when I lived out in the country and I ran so fast back to the house I don't think my feet hit the ground! Good thing it was near the end of summer because I refused to go back out in the backyard...I got over it by the time spring came. lol

I told him he's better not complain...it was part of the deal of me moving here. All bugs must be removed from the premises, preferably dead, no matter what time of day or night! lol

and Palmetto bug is just another name for American cockroach....gotta love google tongue.gif

So a little off topic here... Florida is great and all, but I saw my first snake yesterday outside the window. It wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have a ridiculous phobia. I can't look at pictures or even see them on TV so to actually see a real one slither in the bushes outside the window was NOT GOOD. I couldn't get a hold of Brian right away, so I called my Mom and she had to get me through my panic attack. I've stopped pacing around the condo.

God help me! I'm moving to a beautfiul, warm, sunny State ---- but snakes!? Eeeks!!!!!!!!! The things we do for love!

Anyone have any good ideas as to how to get over this phobia? And no - I am not willing to face it dead on! Brian suggested we go to Sea World to see the reptiles but I boshed that idea before he even finished his sentence.


Yeah I'm not a snake lover either and like you....in Florida. Cat dragged one on the back porch the other day and I was standing RIGHT beside it and didn't notice it till I walked in the house and my daughter said "Look Mom...Smoky caught a snake" I was not impressed. Good thing I was already in the door or I might have jumped through the window and it was just a baby. I don't think I'll ever get over my phobia which also includes spiders and ...OMG...have you seen a cockroach yet?? They are HUGE! Even the friggin grasshoppers here are on steriods. Yet the mosquito's are itty bitty....go figure.

Don't stress....you should be getting yours anyday now. I think once they do the RFE thats all they need and they want to get you off their desk. You'll have it by the end of the week I think.

We always drove to Buffalo and left from there to fly to Florida as well. Way cheaper! It was about a 3 hour drive but we'd leave the day before and stay at a hotel that had park n fly and it was still cheaper. Especially if you were going for a week or more cause the hotel with park n fly was cheaper then leaving your vehicle in Toronto for a week.


Do you recommend parking anywhere? He is planning on parking at the airport. I looked on line and they have a lot (Long Term cool.gif that is only $8 a day max of $40 a week. In Orlando we have parking places that are just down the road from the airport and take you there in a shuttle. They are cheaper than the airport, although $8 a day is a pretty darn good price.


8 bucks is a good deal for sure. I usually pay about a $100 but that is for a night in hotel plus shuttle and parking for 2 weeks. He's only going for the weekend so $16 bucks is fabulous. I flew out from Toronto and left my vehicle at the park n fly once.....good lord I got royally screwed on that deal! lol never again wink.gif

ugh....we just called because we changed our address weeks ago by mail which is what the immigration officer told us to do. They hadn't even updated our address yet. Nor have we been able to see our status online. They also said that it hasn't even been assigned to anybody yet. She did say she'd send a request to the helpdesk to get us into the online system....we'll see.

People really need to look at the big picture here....should I curse others cause they can get interviews in as little as 3 days while my consulate is saying 4-6 months? I don't think so. Some of us "April" filers are here rooting for you and its mean to say the least to keep knocking us here or coming onto the April thread to do so. I would like to think that if I got my NOA2 tomorrow people would be happy for me but the last week I've seen that it just ain't so...... sad.gif

If you got approved today, I would be very happy for you! I had a bad day and I'm sorry. If I didn't send love your way.... heart.gif heart.gif here's some.

This whole process is just terrible to go through. Please stay and keep on rooting for us!


You know I'm rooting for ya Missy. Usually it doesn't take too long for approval after an RFE and hopefully you won't be waiting long for an interview.

The USCIS is making everybody crazy. I had to change my address awhile ago and still haven't heard nuttin from them...nor can I access my case online.
