As you have read on the webpage finally some progress is being made on the paperwork part. As a matter of fact I have received my EAD (Employment Authorization Document) and even got a notice that they began processing my I-485 (change of status) application. So it surely seems we're making some progress in that matter. An second aspect is my thesis, which, finally, seems to have moved to the second to last phase. There is still much work to be done, but the sun is shinning at the horizon. 

Similar positive news can be told about Traci. After having tried numerous times to get a job in Dallas, finally she's invited for an interview in Dallas. It seems that all the other interviews were more a formality for the other party, and therefore not a real chance for Traci, but finally it seems we got an entry to go to Dallas. 

Next weekend (February 17th - Saturday) Traci has this interview and we'll be heading to Dallas on a little trip. We'll be using this trip for Traci to have her interview and to look for accommodations.
