BTW, Hyper, does it feel like you have a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in your gob now? That's how I felt when I had my wisdom tooth and the one alongside it out!
Very sore. They put me on Vicadin, too, and I never felt so spaced out in my life!

For those of those who know me, and my little AOS issue in Seattle... My AOS packet was returned because I only inclosed a single check for the total, rather then the suggested seperate checks for each fee. (Overpay as Seattle does not require fingerfrints for K1)

It explains it pretty well - this is what I looked at when I was completing my forms.

Man girl you have described perfectly how I have been feeling!!.
The vicadin kicked my butt big time.. I took it with a little bit of food in my stomach (I didn't feel like eating.. I could not feel my chin and mouth for 9 hours) and I puked..
I told the Dentist the vicodine made me sick and he said. You need to swallow something with more proteins.. so I did.. and I had a very upset stomach. I am glad I don't have to take vicodine anymore.
Last Friday I got so sick from that stupid medication that I had to crawl up to my bed.. I was so spaced out!!!!!
But I am ok now!!. I share your pain Kate
The good thing about the surgery is that I will never have to worry about it again!!! wooo!!

Re: Aos Fees Increase
Send separate checks and/or money orders for each petition and the fingerprint fee. There is no form for the fingerprint fee. It is the same as the biometrics for the EAD only this time it will be all our fingers and not just one.
The instruction sheet for the I-485 tells you about the fingerprinting fee. If you order via the mail they also send a separate note about the fingerprinting fee.
I believe Scott got his things returned because in Seattle, K-1s do not get fingerprinted. It is their policy and since the check included the fees for everything, it had to be returned to be corrected.

Ouch, that's a big increase in price, figures that I wouldn't file everything in time 
I will have to go through Philly, does this mean that I can't have my to be wife write a check like I did for vermont to pay for the fees?
Thanks
