Today was shaping up to be an incredibly frustrating day. When Ross and I dropped by the DMV to get license stuff done, we found out that the place didn't open til 8, when Ross had to be at work.
So after I dropped him off, I went back only to find out that if I did get a license today, it'd only be a temporary one, with no photo. Since I need photo ID for the I-9 form, I kept my Ontario DL, which will do for the I-9. I'll just have to go back later for the Florida DL.
Then, I dropped by the SSA. Still no verification from CIS about my work authorization, hence no SSN. Stupid CIS.
But then, I got home. And got an email from the nice people at CIS to tell me that our I-130 petition was approved, yesterday. Which means, for those of you following along at home, that I can choose to adjust status (which is long and painful here in Tampa) or I can go the foreign consulate route, and make a trip to Montreal sometime in the next six months.
either way, I'll have my immigrant visa (ie Green Card).
Whoot I say. Again, I say whoot!
