11/27/04 the sequel.....

[CurtS]

with 6 kids I guess you would have to have a good sense of humor.

Thank you, Kim, and you're right...I'm going to have to get one of those "sense of humor" thingies for home.

[april riddle]

Hi Tracey, I am at work so I am not looking at the documents I-94 that you are talking about but isn't that in the section about non-US citizens living in the US? I could be wrong but I will check on the US immigration web site for you and let you know. Glad you got your documents I am waiting for my Canadian Passport to get here. It has taken forever - I don't really need it to get on the ship but it would be nice to have it. I will let you know what I find out.

 

[april riddle]

Applicants should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. Immigration authorities have the authority to deny admission, and determine the period for which the bearer of a visitor visa is authorized to remain in the United States.

At the port of entry, an Immigration official must authorize the traveler's admission to the U.S. At that time the Form I-94, Record of Arrival-Departure, which notes the length of stay permitted, is stamped. Those visitors who wish to stay beyond the time indicated on their Form I-94 must contact the USCIS to request Form I-539, Application to Extend Status. The decision to grant or deny a request for extension of stay is made solely by the USCIS.

Find out more information about the differences between a visa and a Record of Arrival-Departure on the CBP website.

CurtS don't feel too badly, we too have not recieved our documents either. I have even tried to hang around the house around the time I usually see the UPS truck in the neighborhood. Pretty pathetic huh? I think it will all seem so much more real when we get them. It feels like when your a kid waiting for Christmas. Well lets hope everyone gets their's real soon so we can ALL do the document dance.

 

[dtuleya]

OUR DOCS!

Oh yeah, oh yeah, doin' the doc dance, doin' the doc dance!

Anybody else get theirs today and want to join me?

 

[april riddle]

Denise Yeah!!!!!!

 

[tink1663]

Welcome Holldoll and family!

Denise- your post was too funny! I loved the dancers!!! Glad you received your docs

Tracey- If you still have questions about the I-94 form, you might be able to get some clarification from Disney's Documentation Service Desk at 1-877-566-0967. I hope that helps.

Did anyone find a place to buy an autograph book that has a place to put a picture on one side an autograph on the other? The books that I found had a plastic sheet covering all pages. I can't imagine a character being able to lift that plastic sheet and then sign??? Sorry if that's a moronic question. I haven't done anything that creative before.

Off to watch election coverage. Bye for now.

something like this??

 

[CurtS]

Denise and Tink--Yeah!!!!!

Still waiting on ours. I chased the UPS truck down the street yesterday--he wasn't amused. Just kidding, but I feel like I'm getting THAT desperate.

Popovich--my DW went on an excursion yesterday for that exact same thing and couldn't find one. I'm heading for Staples at lunch today to get lanyards and something to put our KTTW cards in (pending docs arrival, of course). Failing that, I'm going to try a craft and hobby shop. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Ok everyone, I think I have all the changes made. Let me know if anything is incorrect!

 

[CurtS]

My TA called, the docs finally arrived!

My UPS driver will be so relieved to know his safety record will stay intact by not running over that crazy guy who keeps throwing himself in front of his truck!

--Curt

 

[Scrappy520]

Oh my goodness, what a bunch of nuts we have on this cruise!!! And proud to admit that I am one of them!!

Yeah, I am doing the Doc Dance too - !! I'm picking mine up @1pm today -

I have not a thing packed. How about you?

Millie

 

[kim bremner]

Curt - so happy you're getting your docs and we won't be seeing you on the evening news
"crazed Indiana man arrested for stalking UPS driver...."

As far as autograph books go, I couldn't find any that accomodated autographs and pictures or any cute autograph books for that matter. What I did find was a really cute Mickey small picture album. I'm going to bring some kind of paper like card stock cut to fit to slide into the picture sleeves. Then I'll put a picture of him getting the autograph on the left side and the autograph on the right side. Does that make any sense to anyone?

Ivy - how was your brother-in-law's surgery?

Kim

 

[CurtS]

Millie--packed??? I KNEW there was something else I needed to do! This is probably a good time to look and see if we have any luggage.

--Curt

 

[CurtS]

Thank you, Kim. When he caught me in the back of his brown truck wildly opening packages he promised not to press charges.

--Curt

 

[Scrappy520]

Curt - don't laugh! I can't access my luggage!
We're redoing our dd8's room & unless we finish it - SOON! - I will have to buy a new set or dh won't be allowed to go!

 

[april riddle]

Curt you know down here in NC we weren't talking about the election - the headlines were something about a man with six kids in tow stalking big brown trucks - know anything about it? Happy that you got your docs!

 

[CurtS]

April--I swear, the kids were only there to create a diversion!

--Curt
