It’s not too late to change your mind Sallie (LOL) Hey Hum, I wasn’t invited! But I thought that was real nice of George to agree to be your best man (ROFLMAOCUMLTNTPIMFP). 1. Get Married She can work as soon as she has the EAD and Social Security Card. Some local INS offices will give her an EAD the same day you apply for AOS (on a walk-in basis) and some will take up to 3 months (?) http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/howdoi/hdifiance.htm http://www.kamya.com/aos/index.html For more info, call your local INS office or ask Dave H.

[This message has been edited by Dave H] Hey Matt, Sorry to hear that!!! We haven't received my wife's card yet. When did your wife get hers? If we ever get the card (lots of immigration and SS cards stolen in mail here and sold to illegals), I kind of expect a name or date problem. "Mi no espeaky Ingles!" I'm sure you can relate! People haven't lived until they've been through Miami INS! Good Luck! Dave H. Title: Re: My Miami!

Hey Mateo, LOL That really sucks!!! I'm not sure what they do at Davie INS, other than finger printing and sitting around talking all day. Even their rack of INS forms are old and most of them are no longer usable according to the INS website. The "neighbors" (mostly Colombian) in line at Miami INS were the best thing about the whole experience for us. They protected us with their umbrellas when it rained and gave us food and cafe Cubano. Somewhat fluent in Spanish, I told them about the Philippines being controlled by Spain for over 300 years and they were thrilled. My wife was able to understand a few words of Spanish, so they compared Bisaya and Tagalog words with Spanish. It made the wait more pleasant. I felt ashamed about the conditions at Miami INS and for the rude treatment of the legal immigrants by security and INS employees. Title: Re: My Miami!

Hey Steve, That's great! When we went for the Advanced Parole interview, (rescheduled to Thursday)security would only let the immigrant inside, no "translators." I was a little worried, because anything and everything does go wrong at Miami INS. There was another American standing outside who was really pissed and wanted to talk to an INS officer "NOW!!!" Security didn't know what to do and looked nervous like they were about to pounce on him. More security and a supervisor came. I felt the tension! His wife and I tried to calm him and the security. He wanted to know "who the F" I was and said he would only talk to a lawyer. Finally, he realized that I was on his side. Once security got their feathers unruffled, they brought out an INS employee. I found out that it was his second trip there (3 hour drive) that week. He was told by the INS clerk when they filed for AOS and Advanced Parole that his immigrant wife's 2 children didn't need to be there for the Advanced Parole interview (really just to pick up papers, no interview) because they were minors and their photos were turned in with the paperwork. Different story when they arrived on Tuesday. He was told by security that he had to wait outside, even though his wife spoke little English and they had no Russian translators available. He went to go put more money in the parking meter and when he returned he found his wife sitting on the curb crying. INS refused to give her the Advanced Parole documents for the children because they were not present. Confused and not sure what to do, she began to cry. With little knowledge of English, she couldn't get her point across to the non-native "English speaking" INS employee. She was told to return with the children on Thursday. Security was called and she was "escorted" out of the building. The husband was upset and asked to speak to an INS employee. Security refused and told him to leave or they would have him arrested. They left and returned on Thursday with the kids as she had been told. On Thursday security wouldn't let his wife and children inside the building because their appointment letters said "Tuesday." He threatened to sue and demanded to talk to an INS employee. Where I came in. Finally one came out and talked with him. Then the INS employee escorted the wife and children inside and they returned a short time later with the documents. Dave H. Title: 3 more weeks...

...and there won't be any more INS. HOWEVER, the same bozos will still be working there, at least in the short term. I think the Homeland Security Dept got off to a good start though by slashing all the INS fees. We'll see... Ray Title: Probably Get A Pay Raise...

Hi Ray, I hate to say that anything is better than what we have now, because whenever I do...I am often proven wrong! But let me just say it looks promising. I hope they don't loose all of our files.
