General update/heads up...

[flyin ryan]

Well...Got word from U.S. Immigration the other day I have been accepted . Haven't been on my laptop at all till now to let you all know. I still have to stick around until sometime next week for my 'Hard copy' paperwork to arrive before I head back to Canada. I'm right in the middle of a big concrete job at my house in PHX anyways I want to see through. So, another step closer...

Great to hear you're legal. We have enough of the illegal aliens =D>
Congratulations.

Hey Ryan congrats just saw the thread for the first time and I have to admit it was quite the surprise to see the change in your life. Talk about going from one extreme to another you da man.

So are you going to someday become a actual US citizen?

My mom held off for 30 years but finally did go the dual route of both Canada and USA citizenship. Maybe you will do that someday as well.

In fact now she is bragging about becoming a Floridian for tax reasons vs Illinois.
She is a snowbirder between the two.

Oh' ya'...They'll be coming...But...We have to get married!! She can come down under my work visa no problem so long as we're married (we've been together for 20+ years), U.S. doesn't acknowledge common law...apparently. So we need to do that & get her passport changed over to my name etc.,...

It's warm enough, no complaints about that.

I've easily put 4x's the miles on my 90 Zee compared to what I've ever put on back home since I've owned it (July 2006). It's my driver down here for now...It know's the way to Lowe's, LOL!

Thanks John...You in for Spokane again this year...?

Thanks B. .

It's my one chance to try to do something like this...or forever accept my fate...Stuck in the frozen tundra.

Not interested in becoming a citizen really, would like to aspire to 'Permanent residency' one day...Only differance is a citizen can vote, I don't need to vote that bad...don't feel that's my right really, to be honest....

Thanks for the props guys...I'm not gonna lie, it's been a painful process for 5 months .

Holy cow. After 20 years you have to get married?

I doubt I can make Spokane this year as we are waiting on a new grandbaby anytime now, she's due at the beginning of September. I imagine we'll be busy for awhile now. Will you be coming through Boise to get to Spokane now. If so let's at least try to hook up for a quick visit.

That makes sense because we're so moral and everything down here. Yah, right.
