That was my little buddy Mo... he's a Jack Russel and severely mental.. I love him!

I looked at that site too... it was really funny and quite addicting.

Morning all! Off to physical therapy soon then maybe going to get Doom Car washed! It will make me even more proud to drive around a gleaming Doom Sheep (hehe to those of you that saw the pic)

EDIT: I'm fortunate I'm staying with my parents for now with this economy situation.. I only get 20-25 hours a week at my job and it's hard to save up for anything in this area.. it's expensive to live in DC suburbs..!

Hey all...!

Question about the DS 230 part 1. When he is filling it out.. does he put NONE for spouse as we aren't married yet? Or does he put me for the spouse then all of my info and then "N/A" for marriage date?

Thanks!

(post question icon tongue.gif)

The way I see it. It should be none or N/A as he is not married. Remember this form is used by many other visa types.

Thanks Richard. I thought that also and the example form on here is the same stated as "NONE" then everything blank for spouse.

Naito congratulations BIG time.. wooow long time for long distance, I'm so happy for you it's all coming to an end! Been busy working and am finally off for two days in a row. Lampros will be home for 8 days before he goes to the VERY North of Greece for his next station biggrin.gif We'll be able to talk freely (for free too) and loads.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Just to let people know I got my Visa in the post. so happy to finally have it in hand. got the secret envelope that is not allowed to be opened also, so I will just be waiting for 23rd Sept to roll around.

Does anyone know of good sites in the US for flights to Europe. Myself adn Jeremy are trying to organise for him to come over and then fly back with me, only possible if we get a decent priced ticket, so if anyone knows of any good sites, please let me know. Thanks Guys......

Enjoy the rest of your weekend star_smile.gif star_smile.gif

Congratulations!! That is so exciting..!

I've always used www.kayak.com as well. They have a compile of other websites so you get a pretty good idea of the best price you can get! Good luck and take care!

Well.. black is one thing, black and tarry is another. I don't know how the car is running, but I sure love to zip around all the Hummers and F150's biggrin.gif.

Zip meaning.. slowly accelerate and get by without crashing into their hulking mobiles.



LOL...love your definition of "zip"!


I think i make drivers of F150's and bigger trucks mad...lol...I have a Ford Escape and not only can I accelerate faster than most of them, I am small enough to fit into little spaces when they can't..LOL!

That's the best quality of this car.. it's itty bitty! I go around cars at traffic lights and end up one of the few in the lane smile.gif. This car doesn't really accelerate.. period. The transmission is a bit sketchy so getting up to speed is always a fun game.

Liz... you dont have to like it!!!! Do you think men REALLY like getting flowers... shaving twice... putting on dress clothes... going out for girlie dinner... buying flowers... HELL NO... but we do it all because we love YOU!


I didn't say I didnt like it...handcuffs and a riding crop are two of my favorite things.!! devil.gif whistling.gif innocent.gif


Jamie - I'm a country girl at heart...I can rope, ride and work alongside the best of them but tell me your going to take me out, buy me flowers, something like that and I'll go all girlie in a heartbeat..LOL! Oh....and where are you in the midst of all those brothers and sisters? I'm the baby of five myself..lol!

Haha.. that sounds about like me. I can hang along with the boys and keep up pretty nicely.. but Lampros makes me feel like a little girl that just got a baby kitten with a big red bow.. hehe.

I'm the second youngest of the Five.. my little brother would be the youngest. I have another brother directly above me in age then the two sisters are the oldest. We all have 3 step-brothers too.. so I'm technically the second youngest of ALL of them.. very littlest girl smile.gif

I'm kind of an easy going tom-boy.. but I melted when Lampros sent me tulips for Valentines day.. !

When you apply for the SS # you can then apply for a drivers license too... then of course the marriage license.

The AOS is to be filed ASAP after marriage with the cost of $1010. The AOS needs to begin being filed before the 90 day period so when the k-1 expires the beneficiary is still legal inside of the states. The EAD cost is included in the AOS packet and needs to be refiled every year until you receive the final AOS paperwork but allows you to work until the AOS is finalized, which is a very important fact in my case.

The AP is a different set of papers and I think is another fee NOT included in the AOS packet.

I hope that made sense with my terrible lack of grammatical sense and sense in general happy.gif


My understanding is that when you file the AOS, you can as an option, at NO COST file both the EAD and AP request. You can choose to file them later, but will then have to pay the fees for them (NOT cheap). So when you file your AOS, file for BOTH the EAD *and* AP.

When will the fees end? not until LONG after we are dead...death and taxes...

Ok well that sounds good to me, then we won't have to pay that later and also we'll have the AP just in case something goes on at home.

At the moment he's very ready to get OUT of Greece after he's been dealing with the lovely military officials there for 6 months now. More than half over! kicking.gif

As for when the fees end... I don't think they ever will.. but at least once he's here we'll have each other and I'm certain it won't be as difficult as the "waiting/saving/fee" mode now.
