Immigration Update

Friday, January 25th, 2008

We found a lawyer. He’s a Harvard Graduate and is only charging us $900, which he agreed to accept in a payment of $500 along with further monthly payments. Unfortunately when we were in the lawyer’s office filling out the forms we found out that USCIS increased the form fees from around $700 to a total of $1,365.

So we’re currently waiting for Sheila to get her tax paperwork back from one of the companies she does photography for, once we have that we can file her taxes and hopefully get back enough to cover the fees of immigration. All the paperwork, medical, etc. are done, we’re just waiting on the money so we can afford to go through it all again…

Other than the above, there’s no further information than that I gave on December 1st.

Lincoln Park Zoo Video

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Here’s a video and a couple of photos from Sheila and I, featuring our trip to Lincoln Park Zoo yesterday. In the video you can see Red Wolves, Lions, Gorillas, Baboons and some Monkeys. It was a cold day (-6°f / -22°c) but it was worth it. I love the place and it’s great when it’s quiet like it was yesterday.

The Baboon didn’t seem to like Sheila very much…

An accidental killing while I was testing the capability of my Warrior II’s with current skill levels. The test conclusion was that they do indeed do some damage – and actually do it so fast that I didn’t have time to stop before blowing Kaldira up… I felt really bad about this, but Kal seemed to take it in his stride.
