First off to say that a marriage won’t last is way off, there are so many factors and just because the man is homesick is not a sign of divorce. Sometimes the happiest couples are the ones that end in divorce, not always, but I am sure the BTK killer’s wife had no clue that she was married to a serial killer. So never think you have all the answers, your own marriage could be in trouble and you have no clue. Marriage is hard enough without someone telling you that your marriage is not going to make it. No one knows, unless you are a wonderful psychic. If you are indeed a psychic, should I just throw in the towel on my life? Just wondering, cause right now it looks very dark in here.

Well I have read many many of her posts and I know the type of woman she is. And by the last post in this thread my prediction is correct. I don't wish this on her, I wish she would change and maybe he marriage could work.


So true, we are the evil American women, and he is the man. You should respect him and lie on the ground while he walks all over you!

Did I get that right Gaby&Talbert? wacko.gif
You are really confusing Gaby. First let me inform you that I come here to talk to spouses of MENA people. I am really not sure why you come here. Second, I have NOT been acting like the stereotypical "American ######" as you call all of us. I have been actually extremely compassionate and forgiving of him . I am trying to help him go to school. I am getting the food he likes. I have put him first in every single way. His mom is aware of this. So is everyone else. We have our good days. We have bad days. We have amazing days. Its been hard the last few weeks, I wont lie. He is having a hard time adjusting. I am really hurt. But I love him more than I care that I am right or justified. We love each other. But its been real tough. I think you need to get the stereotypical view of the women on here out of your head. To stalk us on our boards and hang out around here just seems downright weird..Why the interest in our lives when your spouse is from Mexico and you hate American women and everything we stand for?

No that is not what I am saying. She should have walked away from the relationship before he ever came here but no she complained about everything and still brought him here.

If someone is going to b i t c h about everything then marry someone who will put up with it and will kiss her a s s all the time. You can't pretend to be someone you are not. She needed to lay it on the line to her husband what she expected and if not then walk away. She should have seen exactly what he was like back in his home and accept him for that and not expect him to change.



Being forgiving and compassionate isn't coming here and complaining all the time. The women here are not helping you if they are blindly siding with you and saying he is the bad one are you are always right. It is hard for me to believe he would be telling his family you are a horible person if you haven't done anything wrong. If you were being a perfect wife he wouldn't have reasons to say and do the things he is doing. I am not saying he is right, he should be doing everything to make you happy regardless of how you are acting.
What I am saying is that the signs were there before he came to the US and you should have seen them and not brought him her. Maybe you have a pattern of being attracted to abusive men?
Abusive relationships are never abusive in the beginning. If they were, women would dump the abusive men immediately in search of a good man.According to the American Psychological Association Force on Violence and Family, over 4 million American women experience a serious assault by a partner each year! Who can forget when heavy-weight champ Mike Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington and sentenced to six years in prison. Tyson served three years before being released on parole. Thereafter, he married Robin Givens but they divorced on Valentine’s Day only a year later because Givens claimed Tyson abused her. Abusive behavior touches all ranges of society.

We have broken down the top 10 signs of an abusive man. If your partner exhibits one or more of these signs, it may be time to reevaluate your relationship and seek help or get out.

1. Jealousy & Possessiveness – Becomes jealous over your family, friends, co-workers. Tries to isolate you. Views his woman and children as his property instead of as unique individuals. Accuses you of cheating or flirting with other men without cause. Always asks where you’ve been and with whom in an accusatory manner.
2. Control – He is overly demanding of your time and must be the center of your attention. He controls finances, the car, and the activities you partake in. Becomes angry if woman begins showing signs of independence or strength.
3. Superiority – He is always right, has to win or be in charge. He always justifies his actions so he can be “right” by blaming you or others. A verbally abusive man will talk down to you or call you names in order to make himself feel better. The goal of an abusive man is to make you feel weak so they can feel powerful. Abusers are frequently insecure and this power makes them feel better about themselves.
4. Manipulates – Tells you you’re crazy or stupid so the blame is turned on you. Tries to make you think that it’s your fault he is abusive. Says he can’t help being abusive so you feel sorry for him and you keep trying to “help” him. Tells others you are unstable.
5. Mood Swings – His mood switches from aggressive and abusive to apologetic and loving after the abuse has occurred.
6. Actions don’t match words – He breaks promises, says he loves you and then abuses you.
7. Punishes you – An emotionally abusive man may withhold sex, emotional intimacy, or plays the “silent game” as punishment when he doesn’t get his way. He verbally abuses you by frequently criticizing you.
8. Unwilling to seek help – An abusive man doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him so why should he seek help? Does not acknowledge his faults or blames it on his childhood or outside circumstances.
9. Disrespects women – Shows no respect towards his mother, sisters, or any women in his life. Thinks women are stupid and worthless.
10. Has a history of abusing women and/or animals or was abused himself – Batterers repeat their patterns and seek out women who are submissive and can be controlled. Abusive behavior can be a generational dysfunction and abused men have a great chance of becoming abusers. Men who abuse animals are much more likely to abuse women also.

I just stopped into work because I cannot post from home and I am picking up some papers but all in all I have done the best I can. In the face of being sick, I patiently waited for 2 months for my husband to get to see his mom.. even though I had a medical expedite. I have dealt with family infighting. Homesickness. I now have pre eclampsia to boot. I am working full time until I give birth as well as taking classes. I have put every single drop of blood into making things work. He has his greencard, his ss and his id and can get a job at any time. I have gotten up to take kids to school, cleaned the house, driven myself to every ob appointment, spent thousands on immigration and phone bills, put up with more than could ever be imagined. I have just done everything I can at this point. I am now 31 weeks pregnant and not one time have I felt catered to or taken care of. If our marriage doesn't last and I am abandoned with this baby sick and alone and working full time and keeping my life afloat, I can say I did the best I can. In all good faith, I will not be surprised if he returns home, nor will I fault him. He has had a difficult time adjusting. I have bent over backwards 15 hours a day to make things halal.. to make things right... to drive him to English school.. to have arabic tv for him. To buy his special foods... all along with ankles 4 inches thick and I cant breathe. I am not even free to use my home computer as I want. Still I face constant criticism that I am not as good as , as smart as , as clean as women back home. All the while I have to somehow keep a job when I am told I am not attractive to him anymore, do something about that hair, your food doesnt taste good... etc. I have done the best I can. If I cant tell you guys .. I cant tell anyone.... this is the end of the road for me and the sadnes has just gotten overwhelming.

I am deeply sad and starting on tranquilizers tonight to help me sleep because my heart is beating out of my chest at this point. I love him. Maybe I am not good enough. But I didnt need to go through all of this to find out. I needed a little love to compensate for all the #### I have had to put up with. At the end of the day< I take responsibility for my stuff but when You hear someone talking about you in Arabic to their mom and they say horrible things when all you do is cater

KHANZA MOUSSA MAHBOULA and you have given all your money and all your love, your credit cards are maxed out and your health is failing. You reach your breaking point. I have reached mine.
I told my mom today that I want my aunt to take the kids when I am induced and I want to be alone when I give birth. I no longer even want him with me in the hospital or in the drs office. I just want to end this journey alone because when you can t take care of the things that matter and you arent getting sleep or help and you really did the best you can it kills you
The having the baby alone thing is more because at this point, I dont even want him in the process of having the baby with me. I feel like I am at my breaking point because I have given all I can and I cant do anymore. I just think If I face the rest of this alone, at least my bp wont be 160 and maybe the baby will be better for it.

AGAIN.. I am not blaming him for everything. I am saying we did not know each other enough. He had an unrealistic idea about here and over idealises back home so much that he wont make the adjustments to make it work here like he needs to . I love him. I just may end up delivering the baby alone.. completely


I hate to say "I told you so" but you got mad at me when I said that all the anger and doubts you had before he ever came here was a clear sign that it wasn't going to work out. I will be blunt but you need some serious conseling before you get into a relationship again. It is never a good sign to have so many complaints about someone before marriage and then go through with the marriage. Everyone always says it takes 2 to make a marriage work or fail but this isn't always the case. One person can ruin a marriage but it is true that it takes 2 to make a successful marriage.

I would like to say I am sorry and I hope you can get your life in order and find peace and happiness with yourself.

I am just curious....We are having ups and downs which is to be expected....

I noticed my husband is very attached to "things iranian." For example, he has a year planning calender with little Iranian quotes on the margins. He sits a reads and rereads them. A lot of conversations are dominated by the subject of "how Iranian people are, behave."

I won't deny there have been two dramas because he said and did one or two things I found highly insensitive.
(He called me "average looking" when I asked him how I looked and he was stingy on my birthday and bought me 2 flowers after I asked him to, not a full bouqet).


Everyone will miss things familiar to them, my wife misses many things about her home country but they never cause fights. I understand and I miss alot of the things she misses too like her family and the food.

The issues you brought up about his oppinion of your looks and not buying you the gifts you want isn't an adjustment issue with America but with you.

Add her on your insurance, and anything else you can.

Our interview may have been an exception to the rules. She took all kinds of pictures, emails, phone records, insurance, etc. but nothing was needed. They checked her record and my income and that was all. The POE officer made a comment about her being pregnant but these guys are jerks always.

Unfortunately I have seen advice concerning CR1 vs K3 and being the same time roughly.

MY ADVICE IS IF YOU WANT YOU WIFE HERE ASAP DO THE K3.

It isn't that much more money really. The money you will save on the phone and travel during the extra time is much more than the extra cost of the K3.

Once the Consulate received our K3 it was only a month to have the interview. The whole process from filing our first documents with USCIS to interview was 6 months for the K3. I called the consulate when they first received our papers from the NVC and they told me that K visas were usually about 1 month for the interview when they receive from NVC but CR1 take much longer to get the interview, up to a year.

Because not all consulates are the same, it is specific to the consulate. In CDJ it is 9-12 months for an interview once the papers are received from NVC on a CR/IR1 but on K-3 it is only about 30 days from when they receive from NVC.

You may not have a real choice. If the I-129f goes to the NVC first, the I-130 will be put on hold. When that happens, the only way to get it put through to the NVC is to file a I-824 and pay $200 but it takes so long you might as well get the K3 and then adjust status.


the problem with K3's nowadays is the exorbitant fees for Adjustment of Status -- and seems the waiting times are getting to be pretty much the same. I say go with the I-130 - but that's me, running out of coffee wink.gif
Good luck, L.



Be careful advising people the wait times are the same, it depends on the consulate. If you originally chose K3, was the decision make because of a faster process?

You could have A# assigned to you without ever applying for GC or AOS. I have one, because I applied for employment authorization (EAD) while being in the US on F-1 visa.
I suspect that A# would be assigned to you if you request any kind of document from USCIS.
So yes, may be this part makes sence...

Which we have not done since I am still in Canada waiting for my visa. Does this make sense?




But we haven't applied for anything other than submitting a I-130 petition and a I-129F. The only thing we ever requested was a replacement IV bill since the first on was lost.


You will get an A# from your I-129F application approval. Look at the approval notice, it is on it.

I don't know if this helps.

My baby will continue to qualify for medicaid until he/she is one year old. So if you come to US to deliver your baby then I'm sure you will qualify especially since you are a US citizen. It also does not interfere with your aos. Good luck.


Are you sure this won't affect your AOS? We just went to an interview today for AOS and they asked if we ever received any assistance. We never have but isnt that why the USC has to sign the support form?

it takes a while for the NVC to process. USCIS sends it to the NVC and if you look at the guidelines for CR1 and the NVC shortcuts you will see an approximate timeframe. It will probably take at least 3 more months to get to the consulate. Check others timelines that go through your consulate and you may see how long your consulate takes to schedule the appointments.

Why didn't you file the 130 and 129 together at the same time?

It shouldn't take 2 months longer, I did this last year and got my refund about 30 days later than normal. What the state refund though because some states won't allow to count your spouse without a SSN even if you filed the W7. This is because States have passed laws that only allow a SSN and not an ITIN for dependants.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespending nvc wile in the US as visitors
QUOTE (twolove @ Mar 26 2008, 12:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Can my spouse adjust astatus in the US wile awaiting NVC disition in forign country. Or can she finish the interveiw part wile she is here on visit. say she came over on the visa waiver program. please help

Did you marry while she was here in the US? Do you currently have a petition being processed by the NVC? I assume you have USCIS approval since you said the NVC is processing? If this is the case then she will have to return to her country for the interview. If you were married abroad and she traveled her while you are married there is no way she can adjust status here, she will have to return for the interview, get her visa and then adjust status if it is the K3 you petitioned for. If it is the CR1 she will get her greencard after her interview and she returns to the US.

After seeing your timeline, yes she has to return to here country for the interview, make sure she does not overstay her I-94.
