Oh boy...

Thanks My experience with immigration was/is painful and frustrating, so im just doing my part to help with whatever little i learnt about how this system works.

To all the gurus here....a big bow-down for helping me and every1 else in time of need.

To everybody in the "Pending AOS" boat, hang on there... This system is slow... but ultimately works... Good luck.

Thanks for all the hard work Ari4U. And the maintenance of the AOS interview timeline is most helpful.

count me in...

I am sorry to bring this old thread back to life. I couldn't pass this opportunity to thank the one person who helped me so much in my times of need. Thanks so much ari4u, I wouldn't have survived half the immigration process without your help and thanks for the patient replies to my endless PM's to you. I know I bothered you a lot, my apologies.

Just so you know... My former employer did not follow up with the threat of his lawsuit and its already been 6 months and I havent heard from him Thanks so much for building up my confidence with the non compete lawsuit. I know I used the word 'thanks' a lot in this post, but I guess they aren't enough to express how much I appreciate your help and may God bless you!

Nothing to be sorry about, this is a good thread, which should be continued!
As I said before, I think you make a lot of us feel safe by your mere presence in this forum!! So thanks Ari for sticking around even though you've already got your GC. You're awesome!
And I don't only say this because it's mother's day... forum-mom!

I'm wondering how much Ari paid you to reactivate this old thread
.......................
Yeah...despite his ugly and mean face, Ari is a guy with a big heart and very helpful to us here.

I hope he will stay as long as possible among us, we appreciate his help, we like him, we love him...but he has to do something with his face...I suggest cosmetic surgery, even though I don't believe any change is going to make a difference to his look which is beyond repair

Note for the ones who don't know my message/exchange history with Ari: Don't jump to conclusions

Hi,

Yes - ari4u has been one of the most helpful ppl here in this forum. I guess a lot of us ppl get knowledge by reading his threads but I really appreciate that he spends so much time helping each one of us of here. Though I still havent finished with my process - all the help he has provided has been really great and hope he keeps doing the same.

Thanks

Almost all the things that I wanted to appreciate in Ari, you guys have mentioned it already. He is such a gentleman and a great help on this forum.

Have you all noticed that he probably is one of the few who doesn't expect or demand "thank you-s" for all the informative posts he has made? I'm yet to see any hurtful comments posted by him, even if someone is vengefully targeting him.
Great job, Ari and hope you'll stick around for the benefit of all of us for years to come!

Ari,

Thank you for your efforts and all the help in these forums. To a great extent, family based forum is what it is (very valuable!) because of you.

Good thread!!! I would also like to thank Ari for his time and answers. Though most of the time, I only did the search on this forum. I also think everyone here is also very helpful. More helpful than you think. Some people had already gotten their green card, but they still took time in their daily life to come back this forum and spent lots of times helping out people that are going through this difficult time. In my opinion, Cherr1980, Suzy977, and so on and so forth, (I apologize if I did not name all of you), they are also very helpful just like Ari in all different ways. I don't want their effort to be let out in this good-hearted thread. People that are still in the process, their questions, answers, sympathy and encouragement are also my best friends. Thanks to you all. Of course in this thread, specifically, to Ari!!!

Fonzie, you are right. There are a couple of people here, who are constantly helping out others. Jenimmi, a_usc and ocworker for example. Hooray especially for our Cherr1980 for all your help and also Suzy who also never fails to make the whole forum laugh. Stress-relief at its finest!

Just when i thought this thread was safely buried in an unmarked grave...
... But that felt nice and embarassing too.... had i known, i would have paid to NOT have this thread reactivated... lol.
non-compete.... grrrrr.....instead of posting here, you could have sent me a PM, just like the million PM's you sent me... LOL but good to know you survived

I would like to thank you all for the kind words though i really did nothing more than what others did. So i would like to take a moment and thank Cherr, Jane, Amishah, Anahit, Suzy (I just cant figure out her obsession with chimpanzees), Lucy (I dont see her here anymore), Jen, a_usc, Pintu(though he is being very sarcastic and crabby lately), Payala, Patty, needurhelp and all others (I apologize if i missed anyone's name, its not intentional) for their invaluable contributions and support in keeping this forum active, friendly and most helpful. A big bow-down to y'all.....(This is the part where the APPALAUSE starts...)

There is no doubt that Ari here, and Publicus in the Citizenship forum are/were the most helpful guys.

Maybe this is is why I tease them all the time (besides considering them my friends ) these two "chimpanzees" apparently are descending from the same tree, the tree where are growing apes with big hearts...and ugly faces

Anyway, like a few guys said it before, without minimizing a bit the contribution of Ari and Publicus, most of the people here have their own contribution. An answer to a "dumb" question (there is, by the way, no dumb question) a simple congratulation, an encouragement note is going a long way...and sometimes, for some people it's worth more than 1,000 words message, like some, so called "gurus", are posting.

And last but not least, in my opinion, a good laugh, may save your day...especially when dark-gray clouds are hanging over your head ...and of course, Ari, Publicus are first quality material (with their ugly faces) to make fun of

OK Ari, for the last time I accept $100 to bump your thread up to the first page of the Forum...next time is going to be $200...and make sure you don't give me counterfeit money again...

And NO, for the last time, we don't accept payments in bananas and coconuts
