I have to say, the person who stepped up for Avery = DOLL!! What a lovely thing to do.
and to the people who didn't acknowledge gifts? Mal put a lot of hard work into hers -- it's super uncool not to even pop by and say thanks.

I can't even imagine...
Oh well...

All in all, SS was super great..
:)



I love puzzles! In fact, I do the daily puzzle online. :lol:

I'm truly puzzled :hehe: at people who weren't brought up to acknowledge receipt of a gift. I hope their wedding guests are prepared! :lol:

Rhiannercakes (#######??)
;)

I HAVE used it -- I used it to chop pecans for my pecan pies this year. It works okay but yeah, it came with no directions really so... you're kind of on your own. While I find it useful, I found cleaning it a bit of a pain in the #######.
I do, however, really like the GRaty that it came with -- that's a very, very useful tool.
For the price and such and especially if you catch the two for one deal... you should consider it!
:D



Hey Lgg, how's that Slap Chop working for you?
I'm interested in getting one, but I'm unsure if they're worth it.
It is worth getting?

I do love it though. Love the Canadian flag patch as well at the bag.

yeah, I too also have a 'credit' card with my husband's bank. It's a secondary holder card but you know... it's a start, right?

It wasn't that hard at all. They also wanted to see our marriage certificate too which is not a big deal.

Me too. The card has my name on it, and is a MasterCard debit card / bank card with HSBC.

Works for online purchases too. good.gif

You've been there for a couple weeks. You could probably go get your SSN and open a bank account as a non-resident alien. Heck, I opened a US bank account last week with RBC USA and I don't have a SSN.

well, according to Canada Post my SS gift was supposed to be delivered on the 11th!! But so far, my little SS hasn't made himself or herself known.

Hmmm....

I know who you are but you don't know who I am!!!!!

Oh hai!

That'd be me. Sorry, friend as of Friday not yet and I wont' be home to check the post until later tonight . But I will let you know the second I do! I promise!

You know, sure...I'm looking forward to getting my gift and all, but honestly? I get SUCH a thrill out of people liking MY gifts to them that it's like receiving a gift myself! That probably sounds sappy and twee, but it's true!

I'm in SUCH a good mood now that I know Lgg got my uh...first gift. unsure.gif

CanadaFour Years Ago Today We Were Married :)
Awesome!
Love hearing things like this -- hope is good to have...
Nice to hear it, bowflex...
:)
LGG


Sure is crazy how fast time starts to fly after your SO/wife/husband and you are finally united and able to live together :) Four years ago today we were in Windsor, Ontario at a Romanian Orthodox Church walking around in circles and vowing to try and not piss each other off every day for the rest of our lives lol.

I remember getting engaged in a lawyer's office by calling her while my dad was sitting next to me and telling her what we'd need to do to be together again. My dad was smiling and just shaking his head and then said something to the effect of "Figures this would be how you get engaged you weirdo."

I just want to tell everyone that's going through the waiting part of the process that although it sucks INCREDIBLY now, when you're finally together it's more amazing than you can even hope for :) Good luck to all!!

Ah... thanks CanW....

Feels like it's been so long since those forms were filled -- I read it as something else...

CanadaI-130 question
Hi Heather and Matt!

Welcome, this place is awesome for help and such along the way..
15. Yes, list self-employed, occupation
17. Yes, list your husband's name.
21. You don't live in the US, right? So just put N/A for that then.
22.Put N/A for that as you're not adjusting status right? Use N/A for anything not applicable to you, btw



Hi,

Looking for some help with a couple of questions in section C. of the I-130 for my husband to fill out.

Question 15. Name and address of employer: I am self-employed as a therapist, should he just list self-employed and my address? Should we list my occupation?

Question 17. List husband/wife: I assume this is to have my husband's information (just double checking)

Question 21. Give last address you lived together: N/A? As we have never lived together...

Question 22.
Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status...etc.:
I am kinda clueless as to what to write here...

Thank you. I'm sure there will be many other questions along the way.
