That is a WOW!!!!! CONGRATS!!! everything has surely moved very fast for the two of you. I just hope our AOS will be just as fast when we file... as of now, we are still saving for the $2,210 (we will most likely skip EAD and just wait for AOS approval before I start working) that we would need for the AOS. It is high because there will be three of us applying.. but I am sure God will make a way since we are also doing our part of the bargain.

Congrats again Amanda and Stephen. kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

Hello dbears smile.gif
Why are you going to skip EAD? If you file for the EAD at the same time as the AOS, there is no additional fee, so if it is a money issue, you don't have to skip it.


Thanks a bunch for the heads up Cez, that will be cool if there is no additional fee. I guess I have to be active on VJ again coz I am still totally lost on AOS matters.

Just an update ...

We went to the AOS interview this morning ... 1 hour waiting, 15 minutes in the office, a few questions (how did we meet, how long we had known each other, when did we get married, how is married life?) ... more time spent in silence as he flipped through the original I-129F application and AOS documents we submitted. I saw him stamp it approved. He then asked for a copy of the marriage certificate (they seemed to have lost it in the file). He went to photo copy the marriage certificate and our drivers license. When he left the room I told Stephen to look where the approved stamp was (he was like, oh, WOW!). And that was it. He gave us a document explaining in 2 years we would need to apply to lift the conditions and that in three years Stephen could apply for citizenship. It was much easier than we expected. Should have the GC in 2 weeks.

Hope everyone is well!!

I'm hoping we get a transfer to CSC but it doesn't much matter I wouldn't have thought....

Right now i'll be glad to get my EAD so I can get a job. I don't care what it is, I just need to get out there and meet some people. I love Toby but only having him to talk to all the time is not something i'm used to...


I am hearing you Saff... we have not filed AOS yet, maybe next month and though there are still so many things to fix and arrange in the house, I want to go out and work and earn and be able to help out with the finances now.. it is so hard and just thinking of the $2,500++ that we need to give to USCIS for my and my kids AOS and EAD, it is just... hayyy..... well, i just want to be able to help out soon and be able to mingle with other human beings also. I used to live in a city with many people and now, I am here in a town with only 1800 people including cats and dogs... I like it here because Ricky is here but it is still different.

Sorry if I have not posted in the longest times... the past weeks has been so hectic around here with the kids going to school, the many thousand things that needs to be fixed in the house, working out the re-test for my kids coz they were positive with PDD test which means they are considered to have suspected tb infection even though they only had false positive PDD result because of the BCG vaccine (anti-tb vaccine) they had when they were babies.. still they need to re-evaluated.. we are going back to dept. of health in smithfield this afternoon for the xray reading... last week they had the xray and they also had blood extraction for HIV just for routine check up they said.... we will find out the results today.

and we are getting married on oct. 18, less than 2 weeks.. just a simple exchange of vows in the church with ricky's relatives.. we would have the full wedding ceremony next year coz we don't have enough time nor enough money for a full ceremony this year. Gosh, everything just seems to be spiralling soo fast and I might not be able to really breath well till after the wedding and the filing of AOS.

I am glad almost everybody seems to be moving along fine.

Kim congrats on the visa and the reunion... I am sure you are both still in cloud 9 by now. I am sooo happy for you and Russ.

Nicole congrats on the AOS, hope we get approved just as fast.

Amanda, another congrats for the ceremonial wedding, you are now Mrs Stephen 2x good.gif .. waiting for the photos... and good luck in advance for the AOS interview...

Susie, hope everything goes well right after you submit your reply to RFE. I know everything will be ok. You have both come this far, things will work out in the end for the both of you. (((HUGS)))

Dawn, sorry for losing your cat... maybe that will be replaced by a little cutesy Darwn (darrel and dawn) soon. Congrats on the EAD and AP.

Mounia, I hope there would be good news from you soon. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS)))

Hope everybody else is doing fine... miss you all. (((BIGGEST HUG)))

it is my son's 9th birthday today and rick's mom and relatives has prepared a bday party for him... hope the coming hurricane will not affect the celebration, there are 2 hurricanes coming our way:(....

That is a gorgeous dress! I love the fabric, and the colours! The cut is very similar to mine, too, so I'm biased there. wink.gif

Sorry to hear that the MH dress is a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully that is the worst you'll have to deal with and the rest of your wedding will be perfect!


I certainly hope so.. i'm getting stressed out about everything already.. if the MH dress won't fit Ashley (Ricky's daughter), we will need to buy another dress for her there. sad.gif

But before the wedding... i have to deal with the stress of moving first, as of now, I am not yet done with the packing.. well, i still have 7 days left. whistling.gif

Grats Kim! I noticed your timeline, how do you find out when NVC recieved and when it leaves?


I forgot who was the petitioner and who was the beneficiary between you and Keith, neiwez, the petitioner needs to call NVC to ask if they receive your case, ask for the new case number and also ask when it will be sent to embassy. Call them at (603) 334-0700, 1, then 5. They will ask for info on the petitioner and benefiary, such as the beneficiary's name and date of birth, and your case number (VSC case number). You cannot use the automated system to check K-1 Visas as they do not load these into their automated system. You must speak with a customer service representative. They said the best time to call is 7:31 AM Eastern Standard Time.

Hi everyone! star_smile.gif

Hope everyone is doing well. We are down to the last two weeks before he arrives. His last day of work was yesterday, so he is officially unemployed. In another week, he will be unemployed and homeless (but staying with his aunt until departure).

I admit I'm getting a bit nervous now, about all the changes that will be happening in our lives soon. Of course the biggest worry is money, and his getting a decent job here. But we have faith that everything will be fine in the end. It always is!

So many people ask why we didn't delay it until 'the time was right'. They don't understand that when it comes to the waiting involved with immigration, you can never totally plan, so there is NEVER a right time. So I just tell them it's like deciding to have a baby... if you wait until the time is just right to start, that time will never come. smile.gif


good.gif good.gif good.gif

You are almost getting ready to officially start your forever without the goodbyes.. times moves so much quicker now.

I have 3more weeks left here in the Philippines before the BIG move, there are still anxieties, like you we are also (or I am) worrying about money since I won't be able to work for the next few months but as you have said, everything will be fine.. God will make a way. rose.gif So I am lifting up all my anxieties to God and just focusing on the excitement of seeing Ricky again after more than a year of separation. luv.gif

I'll just be glad when all of us are completely done with this mess!


AWW, this is sooo sweet of you... All of the January filer has been like an online family to me and I also wish to file AOS same time with all of you guys but my AOS won't be til October. Most of you, if not all of you might be done with the process that time.

Just came home with my 2 kids absolutely exhausted after absolutely sleepless night.

The CO asked me how, when and how many times we met, also where Randy works.

I was giving him detailed answers ....but he stopped me and said that our visa is approved.

I am not sure why so soon hehehe...maybe because my kids misbehaved and he wanted to kidly let us go laughing.gif

Can't believe it happened........OMG 6 full months from January 8 to July 9, tension, tension, tension....

Will get our visas in a week. Planning to reunite with Randy by the beginning of school year, August 18.

Aww thats sweet, it is Jays birthday on the 4th and if it wasnt for that medical rubbish I would have been there with him for it, but never mind many more birthdays to celebrate together.


Very true.. it was Ricky's birthday june 30 (he also proposed to me june 30 last year)... it was possible for us to be together on our birthdays since i already recieved my visa last month but due to financial constraint and my kids insistence to stay here longer, we were forced to postpone the trip till sept... but as you have said, there will be many more birthdays to celebrate together. good.gif

advance happy birthday to Jay! kicking.gif

Hope you had a nice birthday Gaye


Thank you Sally, I just spent it with my family with my 3 year old nephew insisting I should have a cake coz there is no birthday without a cake, thus he forced his mom and pop to buy me a cake and he didn't want us to start slicing the cake without singing happy birthday first blush.gif laughing.gif

Nicole, I didn't know that about the insurance either. Bummer!! And I have a teenager about to drive too! I think i'm going to buy everyone a bike! laughing.gif

Gaye ..big hugs to you my friend. I can't imagine leaving the world I live in now but I do know that if I had to... I would do it for my love. I hope you soon realize that this is just a new adventure for you and your kids... that will bring you many new things and new people to love. smile.gif You'll probably be able to order anything you want/need online if you can't find it around you. We're quite spoiled here in case you haven't heard. hehe blush.gif

Hope the rest of you January's are blissfully wrapped up in the arms of your love and enjoying your new lives together.... or close to it! smile.gif


I do consider it as new adventure and time to know new people and also time to be with the love of my life. I will surely be making new friends and creating my own family... but of course, I would never forget the family that God has given me: my parents, my siblings, nephews and nieces... and i'd definitely miss the close friends i have had since gradeschool, the one who has seen me and been with me at the lowest points of my life... those whom i have shared silly crushes and cartoon favorites to real relationships heartaches and real life issues... those whom I have shared so much laughter and tears since childhood days.... well, at least my kids will be coming with me, if not, i don't know if i would really be able to leave.... but of course, i'm doing this because i love Ricky, and it was a choice i have made the day I have allowed him to enter my life and my heart.

Dawn, you must be getting so excited. smile.gif Very happy for you!

Gaye, all your pics are adorable. The put a smile on my face. smile.gif Happy Birthday(s) to you and your love!

I hope the rest of you guys are either living your bliss or close to it! smile.gif


You make me blush blush.gif .

Thanks for the birthday greeting, it is early morning of july 1 here so I will be cooking a special birthday dinner for me and ricky (though he is not here).. my birthday won't be until tomorrow but then JULY 1 is OUR birthday--the day in between our birthday.

I am excited to be with Ricky soon but at the same time feeling really sad that I would be leaving my family, the friends i have known since grade school and the warm weather here, the beaches and the Filipino foods that i won't be able to find in the US. Yes there will be asian stores but they wont carry everything... yes the beach is just less than 2hours ride from ricky's home but it would be cold to go swimming, esp. in October... I am just starting to miss home even though I have not left yet. sad.gif I am just glad that Ricky understands and as early as now, he has been preparing things to make me feel more at home when me and the kids get there. blush.gif

On a lighter note, it is morning of June 30 now. It is my Ricky's 46th birthday.. and it is officially one year since we got engaged blush.gif .. I will be celebrating tomorrow though, July 1. I will be buying a cake with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICKY & GAY" (i just don't know if i should put from: myself laughing.gif )... july 2 will be my 31st birthday. Last year, he was here and we did have a joint birthday celebration on July 1 (the day in between our birthdays), i figured it will be best if we join our birthdays from now and in the years to come, it will mean only one cleaning afterwards cool.gif .. it is just too bad we will be celebrating thousand miles away from each other this year... but at least this will be the last year and we are looking forward to many years of joint birthday celebrations. luv.gif

It seems almost all of us January filers are just moving along great, some are already married, some preparing for the ultimate reunion, some waiting for visa and some preparing for medical and interview. It gives me great feeling to hear stories of medical and interview passed, visa recieved, weddings and reunions. We have all gone through a lot and we all deserve our just rewards yes.gif ... but I am a saddened by the fact that there are still January VSC filers who have not received NOA2. sad.gif

Herolmounia and Keith&Lynda, I hope and pray that July will bring that long overdue NOA2 for you. Pls stay strong. rose.gif rose.gif rose.gif
