I totally forgot to tell you: Three weeks ago, I had my Biometrics appointment and that should have been the last “bureaucratic act” for the next 10 years regarding my Green Card status.
… if they do send me my replacement card in the mail within the next 12 months *cross your fingers*
… if they do approve of all our “evidences of ongoing relationship”
… if they don’t come up with a weird reason to make J and me show up for an interview.
Oh, how wonderful that would be!
If all went right, I should be a permanent “permanent resident” now.
No more ifs, ands, or “temporary” buts.

I guess there are some abuses of the system, but I think most people who have a wedding and leave their families aren’t just doing it for the heck of it. I know that as much as you love J, there are times it is really hard being away from “home” and your family.

November 6, 2008 at 12:11 pm@ Maribeth … yes, it is very hard to be away from my family sometimes, but at least the hassle to prove that I “really want to be here” will be over ;)
@ Ulli … that sounds promising! :)
