We plan to have lunch there and watch the other luvvy dovvies meeting for the 1st time. Afterwords we are going out to dinner and dinner is on the Boss (Kimmi’s Boss) Peg, stay tuned for what we got up to afterwords.

Zed’s green card came in the mail today!!!!!! Needless to say I am THRILLED and to just be able to enjoy being married to such a wonderful man with no immigration worries for 1 year and 9 months. . . . ahhhhh its the best feeling ever! What a wonderful Monday! Thanks to my incredible husband for being so supportive and loving and keeping me grounded when I otherwise would have lost my mind, and to our families for all their love and support! KISSES & HUGS TO EVERYONE!

I received a letter yesterday from immigration regarding our application for my permenent residency status asking us to come in for an interview. This is absolutely fantastic news. The appointment is for July 20th, 2 months away. After that as I’m certain it will all go just fine I should be granted permenent residency status an allowed to stay in the USA indefinately an come and go as we please. I can hardly wait and am not the least bit anxious. I’ll keep y’all posted as to the result, we are nearing the end of my immigration journey.
Wish me luck!

Today we received a letter from the USCIS asking me to submit a ‘Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record’. Upon receipt of this report the USCIS will issue my Employment Authorization within 90 days.

I have an appointment tomorrow (Friday April 17, 2009) for the medical and we have to return 2 days later to pick up the report so we can submit it back to the USCIS.

That’s all for now, Stay Tuned!

Our counting of days since immigration received our papers.
