    Thank you, Britsimon, for helping us! We really appreciate it. I'll be talking with my employer about the possibility of getting an insurance from the school where I'll be teaching. Hopefully it will work.

    Health Insurance for Immigrants

    OMG!!!! It's a miracle that it all happened on October 5th!!! I guess form now on we will be doing all health related activities in Turkey. It's cheaper to fly back and forth than to get an insurance in the States (which actually doesn't cover everything and you end up paying crazy bills...

    Health Insurance for Immigrants

    That is simply horrible! I'll tell you why I asked: We had our airplane tickets for October 5th, we sold our house, packed all of our stuff... And then my husband had a heart attack on Saturday, October 3rd. On October 5th he had a bypass surgery. We did it in one of the best hospitals in...

    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    I am not familiar with the old procedures. And it sounds horrible. I guess we have to be very happy now, not having to go through all that!:) Personally, I'm satistied with the answer I've recieved from USCIS over the phone. So I'll just wait.

    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    If you don't receive your green card within 60 days after you payed your immigration fee, then (60 days after the payment) you will get a "receipt notice" with your receipt number. Then you will be able to track your GC and check your status online. If you have made a payment, and all of your...

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    I have the same problem. I've called USCIS and they said that anyone who made a payment after August, 31, 2015 will receive his/her receipt number within 60 days after the payment. If you don't get your green card by that time you will receive a "receipt notice". But if you are already in US...

    Today we've received e-mails with PTT tracking numbers and passport delivery details (all family members received an e-mail). About 15 minutes after that they've also sent sms to both of our cellphones. So we went to the post office and received the passports and the immigrant packages. I have...
