My first Birthday and Christmas with JD

This is my first birthday and Christmas with the hubs. First together and first as married couple. Well, this is not the kind of first na very memorable. I am sorry, but I was expecting too much. That is wrong. On my birthday, I wanted to do something special. (Bukod sa first namin together, first time ko to be in a relationship after 20yrs). I asked him to take me to a Japanese restaurant. Well, he did. When we woke up that morning, I was video chatting with my family and I ran to the kitchen so I wont disturb him. I found a card and a little box in the counter. Kinilig ako of course. I didnt open it until he got up. It was an earring that looked very similar to the one he gave me on VDay. He bought same time pala and he's been keeping that earrings since February. Pano kaya yon if di kame nagtagal? Or kung umuwi ako ng Pilipinas nung April diba?! Hahaha After breakfast he just sat in the sofa playing his game again on his phone. Parang, ah ok lounge day kame I guess. Around 11, s

SS

Two days ago, I called the SS Henderson office to make an appointment to get a SS. Background story: It says on my notice letter that if I included in my form that I needed SSN I just have to wait 7-10 working days for my SS card to arrive. But I was not sure since it was the lawyer who filled up the forms for us. I called the Lawyer's office to ask if they asked for SS in my form, the assistant said if I filled here in the US, they didn't include it and I have to apply personally. After days, on hold and keep dropping my calls someone finally answered and gave me an appointment. He gave me a date and time, asked for my name and number. And fast lang, isang linggo lang may appointment na ako. But I am still hoping that the lawyer requested for SS, kase hello?? isang question and box lang sa form yon para lampasan pa nila. Everyday I asked my husband to check the mail. So yesterday I told him we'll check the mail, coz you know.... He didnt say anything and handed me to envel

UPDATE on my Green Card Journey: Combo Card

Image
Good news arrived yesterday. Ever since I found out my I-765 and I-131 cases were approved, I do check the USCIS Tracker app for updates. Yesterday around noon, I got a notification that my card was out for delivery and will be expecting to arrive at 5ish pm. But since excited ako, panay check pa rin ako, ETA lang  naman yon eh. 3pm, it says on the tracker app, my card was delivered at my doorstep ng 2:41 pm, dali dali ako tumakbo sa pinto at ayun, nasa pinto na yun envelop. I picked it up right away and opened it. Yey, I got a combo card. And then when the husband came home, came in with USCIS notice letters (cases approvals) So happy!!!

Update on my Green Card Journey

It's been 4 months since I last updated my application post. I have been checking updates but since walang bago, ayoko mag post. Haha But today, alam na this baket ako may entry. LOL So, last night bigla ako nag-check ng case ko online. I think it's because Domz sent me a MISSU message on FB. Then last week Aunt Debbie asked me about my status here. I checked last week wala pa update and I checked again how long ang processing time ng bawat application ko.And 8-1/2 months pa ang Travel. Kahapon I was talking to my sister about it pa kase sabi ko in case mauna ang Travel permit (Form I-131 a.k.a. Advance Parole) ko, before I receive my Change of Status (Form I-485) or Working Permit (Form I-765 a.k.a. EAD) uuwi na lang muna ako ng Pilipinas para asikasuhin lahat dapat ko gawin. Around midnight last night I decided to just check my status. Aba bongga, approved na yun Forms I-131 and I-765 ko. Yey! Thank You Lord! Now I can look for a job. Na-excite ako masyado at di ako nakatulo
