You can’t quit… you’re fired!
Friday was the last day of camp. I was absolutely exhausted and had a really long, rough day. I came home and there was a piece of mail waiting for me. It completely made my day! What was it? MY NEW ZEALAND VISA!! Josh and I went to Olive Garden to celebrate and were so ecstatic for the entire evening!
If you don’t already know, whenever something really great happens there is always something else to come and rain on your parade. On Saturday, we received a piece of mail saying that Josh hadn’t filed paperwork for his United States residency card and, since it had expired, he was being deported.
It’s as if America saw he was leaving and said… “You can’t quit! You’re fired!”
Sure, it doesn’t sound bad because we were planning on leaving anyway… however now this means that we need to wait for a court date so he can straighten all of this out before we leave. We don’t want to leave and then never be able to come back!
The waiting game starts again.

yay for visas! and eek that deportation letter was in good timing XD
Ah, I hope everything works out for him! Congrats on your visa though.
Ah, so you didn’t petition to lift the conditional status on his green card. Yep. That’ll do it.
Aww Caity, you made America angry. It saw you were leaving and was all like “Oh, so you think NEW ZEALAND IS BETTER THAN ME HUH? You can’t leave! I’m kicking you out!”
Well, congratulations about the visa anyway! Hopefully everything else will get worked out – I’m sure it will. :)
oh golly. so much hassle
Congratulations on getting your visa approved :D But boo for the court date =/ I don’t suppose it’s the kind of date where you stand up the other person… lol (just joking!)
There always seems to be something to go wrong when everything else is going good. I hope he gets every thing straightened out! I am glad to hear, though, that you finally got your visa. :) I am very much looking forward to your blog entries of you in New Zealand! :D
Congrats on the visa! But yikes about that court date. Hope everything goes well.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear – I hope it all works out!! But yay for your visa :)
Btw: I heard on the radio the other day about a survey done around the world, asking where someone would live if they could move to any country they’d want. New Zealand was on top of the list and would have over a 200% increase in habitants :)
Yay! Congratulations on getting your Visa :)
Congrats on getting your visa hun :)
Holy crap. Congratulations on your visa, but man, that sucks. I hope that you guys get everything straightened and sorted so you can some day be able to come back if you want! When is the court date? In the meantime, are you guys going to start planning the move, or are you going to wait on that?
Yay on getting the visa! :) I hope everything works out. >< That really sucks for something to happen so last minute… Best of luck though!
Oh, immigration…highs and lows!
Grats on your visa, Caity. Its kinda ironic how all that happened, but I’m sure things will get straightened out, and you and Josh will be heading out to NZ in no time.
I will definitely have to visit you guys one day in NZ as that is one of my top places to visit. ;D
Oh my, seriously?? I could sort of see myself emigrating from Australia in the right situation, but never being able to return would be so daunting. I hope everything works out just fine!
Congrats on the visa! and I hope everything works out for you guys!
Congrats on the visa, and here’s hoping everything gets straightened out sooner rather than later!
