yes, Nebraska is our Center too.... according to INS timeline I can submit papers for citizenship, but not sure if I can do it before removal on conditional status.... :( Title: Regarding I-400 Post by: T P Cornholio on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Thanks, but that is depressing!, posted by RW on Feb 2, 2004
Although we could file naturalization papers now (3 years if married to US citizen), we're waiting until this time next year. That way, it will be five years at the same address and won't have to worry about Ukrainian addresses and/or work info explanations. Also, on I-400: you're a bit on the younger side, but if you were a Pioneer or in the Konsumal then you have to enter YES regarding communist afilliations, and then may later be asked to provide an explanation. Sometime in '92, after Ukraine became a free nation, Natasha sent a letter resigning from the Konsumal on her own accord (didn't want to pay the dues), so we explain that she did not desire communist affiliation and that it was forced. Better to be honest in admitting the affiliation (especially if one never made it to being an actual party member), because the BCIS know that such affiliations & training were required of people at the time.

Hi RW... I just took a glance at the N-400 requirements on their site. If needed, I will provide the direct URL. Anyway...removal of conditions does not appear as a condition...if that makes any sence at all!! Permanent residence begins at the issuence of the initial 551 (green card). Karl Title: 28?

...you are 28?! Now? Is your profile up to date? Title: Re: 28? Post by: RW on February 09, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to 28?, posted by LP on Feb 3, 2004
wow, I missed the whole discussion that's what happens when you have a baby and don't read the board regularly :) Yes, I need to update my profile. I am 29.

[This message has been edited by LP] Deleted. I was mistaken...among other things. Title: Re: Re: Re: 28? Post by: RW on February 11, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Re: 28?, posted by LP on Feb 11, 2004
[This message has been edited by RW] You don't even know me or my "prince charming" story. Kinda convenient stereotype to pin on anybody you come across here, isn't it? Thank you for words of experienced man, but I am afraid everything you said ain't news to me. And no, I don't take offenses from anybody.

[This message has been edited by LP] D*mmit, now don't go pulling pull that soft touch girl thing on me. I hate it when they do that, makes me feel like I was a jerk and I've got no defense against it. ;) Hey, I can edit too. I need to listen more to who I once was and what I've become and you remind of that. You need to learn how to avoid becoming like me. Lol, let's call it even. Nah, the least I can do is go out without taking a swipe at what is really an OK gal. Don't take it personally, it's just the way I talk. I really think you're kind of sweet in an innocent sort of way. Classy also, but a tad too gushy for my tastes. I'm just jealous I'm not 29 again, or that I could be and know what I know now. You'll always have that youth thing to rub in my face, better enjoy it while you can ;) In truth me thinks your guy did pretty well for himself. In some ways I wish my mate had a little bit of you in her. Dosvidanya... Title: Re: 28? Post by: Zink on February 03, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to 28?, posted by LP on Feb 3, 2004
Only off by a hair by my sources. And don't you know better than to ask a lady about her age, LP? Title: No, I don't... Post by: LP on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: 28?, posted by Zink on Feb 3, 2004
...women are not just "ladies" (whatever that means) Zink, they're people just like you and me. They deserve no more special treatment or courtesy than men should expect. Besides, she posted it for all to see. Thanks for the confirmation, it resolved something that had puzzled me for some time. Title: Re: No, I don't... Post by: Zink on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to No, I don't..., posted by LP on Feb 4, 2004
Everybody deserves respect until they've proven that they're not worthy of it. Besides I was only teasing you. RW posted many moons ago that she was the same age as me. My profile is up to date. Title: You misunderstand.... Post by: LP on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: No, I don't..., posted by Zink on Feb 4, 2004
...I agree completely. I never said people shouldn't receive repsect. I have a reactive personality and treat people with an "equal force" attitude. I treat them well if they treat me well, bad if they treat me bad, ect, and every level in between. It remains very fluid and can go from one extreme to the other over time. It's why I rarely hold a grudge. (Btw, "proven not worthy of it" is subjective and can be in the eye of the beholder.) But in a general sense I make no distiction between women and men during verbal or written interactions other than the use of profanity. I do not place women on a pedestal and other than their physical attributes consider them as equals. I give them the same initial respect I give everyone and go from there. They are simply people. I do not give them anything "extra", nor do I consider them entitled to it. Of course, I treat my squeeze and friends well because they treat me well. If they didn't, I wouldn't. I'm oversimplifying a bit but in the final analysis I'm not much different than anyone else. Title: Actually, I understood. Post by: Zink on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to You misunderstand...., posted by LP on Feb 4, 2004
Our thoughts are the same on the subject. I grew up(and still live) in a place where everyone pulled their weight. Being female doesn't mean that you can sit around and have things handed to you. And being pretty doesn't mean that you can be a using beetch. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and I don't expect people to do what is beyond their abilities. But I do expect them to do something. I'm actually very equal rights oriented. I know women who are better than me in various feilds and feel that we should have a meritocracy. But I don't think that a woman should be given a job just because of her sex. I don't believe in lowering standards in the name of equality. As for the subjective part of worthiness, for me only my opinion matters. But it is tempered somewhat by the opinions of those that I respect. I do hold grudges and it's a bad trait. But I force myself to not actively go after those grudges. But neither do I do anything to help those that I dislike. I try to be as fair and reasonable as possible. Unfortunately, the world isn't usually fair or reasonable in return. So much me trying to stay on the Russian topic. It'll be better once my wife and I are reunited. Then I'll have better things to do than write about myself here. For months I never missed the PL group but when I'm bored and have free time I get drawn back in. Good luck in your upcoming attempt to break away. Title: I agree.... Post by: LP on February 04, 2004, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Actually, I understood., posted by Zink on Feb 4, 2004
...with 98% of everything you've ever written Zinkman. We're all more complex than what possibly can be revealed here but I have told you before I feel that, considering your youth, you're one of the most savvy and thoughtful men I've ever come upon. As for me, there'll be no luck in my "attempt". I'm a control freak when it comes to my own life (as much as possible) and it's definately time to move on. It's why I set a date, I'm a closure kind of guy. I will say that if there were more like you and a few others here it might not have come to that. I wish you the best of luck with your new life and hope your wife appreciates what a good specimen she's managed to snag. After being involved in this crazy business for four years I think it's obvious she could have done much worse.
