Thanks all for your input. As upset as I am, I am going to remain positive. If it does go back, as it is likely to, I guess I have about 2 years from today before she will be sitting down for round 2's interview right?

American, ME may be in the States right now. When I was in his office in May,I thought I heard him say he was going to the U.S. soon. I would wait until you talk to him before sending the consulate your letter. It isn't too late for him to get involved. I believe you have time to respond to the blue slip. It may say how much time you have on the bottom some where. I don't have mine with me so I can't tell you for sure. Relax and take your time to do it right. It isn't over yet.
Hang in there!

Sorry to hear of your trouble American. Contact the person Wideawake was referring to as soon as you can. In my experience, a congressman or senator can not do much other than obtain information about your case or request they meet with you. They do not go to battle for you with the consulate. Atleast mine didn't. You need to that yourself. It would be helpful to know exactly what the blue/green slip states as reasons for denial. I hope you can overcome this. You want to do all you can to keep the case at the consulate.
Good Luck American Gentleman.

Sorry to hear that Tyrobe. I ran into the same problem. We drove to Saigon from Ben Tre to pick up the visa and they said they could not issue it to Thao. We were on our way to Da Lat,so we just continued on for the weekend. A week later, on Friday morning, I called them and they said they are ready to print the visa but they didn't know if it would be finished that day. We took a chance and rented a car to go to HCMC to pick it up. Just as we got there, they called and said come pick it up next Tuesday. That left us with only one day to have our celebration before our flight. Sometimes I think the consulate enjoys messing around with our head. Once you think everything is fine, they do something to like this to make you worry. Keep calling the consulate. It could be as simple as they couldn't print it out on Friday because hey were too busy. You may get it early next week.

Do your best to enjoy Da Lat! We stayed at Ngoc Lan Hotel, in a deluxe suite with a nice belcony facing the lake. It was a little expensive, $95 a night, but what the heck.


Good Luck!
Think Positive!

Asia: SouthDoes US spouse of Indian passport holder need visa?

I believe so. I remember reading about it on the Indian Consulate, Chicago website.

http://www.indiacgny....php?linkid=183


Hmmmm.... I see that requirement. I'm planning on calling the Chicago office today to get some clarity around the PIO and entry visa requirements. If I'm able to get a hold of someone, I'll post an update here.

Asia: SouthDoes US spouse of Indian passport holder need visa?

So from the sound of it, it's best to just have my husband, the USC, apply for a PIO. We'll be married one year this August and I think he'll be eligible for it then.

Thanks for this 'entry visa' tip--had no idea!


Is there a clause that you have to be married for at least a year for your husband to be eligible for a PIO card? If yes, then my husband won't be eligible right now, since we got married in February this year.

My head is spinning :wacko:
fabulous02FemaleIndia7/7/2010 10:28
Asia: SouthDoes US spouse of Indian passport holder need visa?

If he has the 10 year, he's good for now. Once it expires he will have to get Entry visa or apply PIO.

(of course, indian govt changes laws frequently so who knows)

btw if any indian citizens here take US citizenship dont forget to "surrender" your indian passport for a fee.. new rule


So that means as of now, my husband can no longer apply for a 10 year tourist visa and be done with it? Damn these new laws :angry: Out of the two options that he has - entry visa and PIO card, what is a better option? He won't be leaving for India before mid October, so we should have time to apply for a PIO card. Even for the entry visa, he needs to apply and receive it before he leaves US, correct?
fabulous02FemaleIndia7/7/2010 10:17
Asia: SouthDoes US spouse of Indian passport holder need visa?

Not sure when you guys would be traveling but if you have enough time in hand before your travel dates, you should look into PIO (person of Indian origin). Being married to an Indian he is eligible for it. PIO is valid for 15 yeras.

Also once you get your US citizenship (if you ever plan for) look into OCI (overseas citizenship of India) when the time comes.

Best wishes (F)


Thanks for all your input. I have some follow-up questions:

1. I will be leaving in mid September and my husband will leave a month after. Since I will not be with him when he enters India, does that change anything?
2. Can my husband still apply for a tourist visa and enter India on that visa? He thinks that may be an easier route so I wanted to know if he is eligible for a tourist visa.
3. How much time does it take for the PIO card to come? What all forms, documents need to be submitted? I couldn't find too much info on the site.

Thank you guys...

Asia: SouthDoes US spouse of Indian passport holder need visa?
My husband who is a USC, and his parents and siblings (all USCs) are all going to India with me for a traditional wedding ceremony. I know that his family will need to get tourist visas for India, but just today I read the following:

Per requirements of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, persons of Indian origin, his/her spouse and dependent children will be granted only an Entry visa and should not apply for a Tourist visa.

I received my green card but I still have my Indian passport and I'm a person of Indian origin, so will my husband not be required to apply for a tourist visa to visit India? If yes, how does that work for multiple visits?

Thanks in advance....

Asia: SouthSlightly over one year after BWI travesty, desire fulfilled

Followup; we finished the box on June 3 after my dad arrived here (he was sent here from CA by my sister so she and her family could go touring NYC, and will stay until 6/26). I tried that day to pick up another box--but there weren't any in stock.

When we returned from a retreat (6/4-6/6), I bought another box (10-count) on 6/8 which turned out not to be as nice as our first one (some of the fruits had soft or black spots which needed to be removed)--it would have been nice if the price had been reduced somewhat (say to $25.00) though admittedly it was a "not-happening".


Ohhh I so long to taste Indian mangoes.... I hesitantly bought a few at an Indian grocery store, but they turned out to be so sour and un-ripe. Now here I am searching for recipes for aam-papad/mango fruit leather, so I can at least put them to some use :)

Hello Jorel&meme, Now u will begin waiting for the letter from the NVC telling u they have finished processing your case and send it to Manila embassy in philippines, this will take 2 - 4 weeks. After u recieve letter from NVC i would begin using this site and other venues to help u prepare what documents might be needed for interview, but right now Manila is taking about 6 months for interview dates from time u recieve letter from NVC, so take that into account.

United KingdomMarriage Cert. for K-1 Interview
My fiancé' was previously married nearly 20 years ago. The Check list in packet three claims they would like copies of all marriage certificates from prior marriages. This seems to be a problem. According to my Fiancé, as soon as she was issued her divorce absolute 18 some years ago the UK government takes your Marriage certificate. Does anyone have any experience with this situation? Can my fiancé obtain an old copy of her marriage Cert. ? Is it Needed if she has her divorce absolute?

LOL about the Twinings Breakfast Tea, it's so true, although weak in appearance & lacking in that "tea" taste it was only slightly better than the "black tea" they had! I did however discover PG Tips in the CUB Food supermarket when I was visiting MN last year and it tasted exactly like ours :)

Applogies in advance if I have offended anyone on here about the American Tea! I'm just too fussy when it comes to me Tea ;)


Cub Foods does carry PG Tips. Cub foods is only in the upper Midwest to my knowledge. They even carry Batchelor's Mushy Peas!!!
Otherwise this is the site I use. They sell rashers !!

United KingdomEntry troubles?

Anyone have any issues getting into the UK to visit their fiance(e)? I'm going next week. This is the first time I'm going to see my fiance and not my boyfriend. Though the difference is only one of a state of mind, really, I'm suddenly worried about issues at passport control. Anyone had any trouble there before? I mentioned this in another forum - but I thought I'd bring it up here too. Should I have a letter from my employer. Not say anything? I'm still visiting friends too, so saying so isn't a lie. Why am I freaking out about this now? There's 0 reasons to be turned away . . . . :blink:


I went to visit my fiance' over Christmas and New Years. They asked me what my plans were while in England when I arrived at passprt control. I told them I was there to visit my fiance' and her family. I had brought a copy of my NOA2 incase they were suspicious I was planning to marry in the UK. I also brought my property tax info on my home. They didnt ask for anything and didnt even seem the least bit concerned I was visiting my fiance'. The only thing they asked me after I told them was if she was a British citizen. I said yes and she stamped my passport and let me through.

United KingdomIn theory......

Nikki, you are seriously deluded about the rights of non-USCs and coming to the US tho. :)


Not Her rights, MY rights to bring her using the VWP as the tool at the time. However maybe your right. I also think that if someone meets the qualifying conditions under the VWP it is their right also. Having lived along the Canadian border for 3 years I can say that the economy and peoples lives would cease to exist there if it wasnt a right for Canadians, and Visa Versa. The border is Fluid and it makes no sense to stop and all of a sudden be forced to do a K-1 Visa. Just to walk into the country and start all over again as if you entered under the VWP. If you needed a visa to get into the country in the first place then fine. You might as well go the K-1 route, but if you didnt need a visa in the first place then whats the year long wait and a whole lot of extra $ for?

I'm also on the side of the camp that believes that if USCIS is going to take my money to process my REQUEST, they need to give me my money's worth. If they want to make this a 'customer' process, then they need to treat me like one - not a beggar.


Thats exactly it. If they are going to run it, then do it right!

Wow what a thread. Fun :)

I guess as you can tell Im from the camp that thinks it is a right. Things have not always been mircomanaged like this. I dont expect immigration to work like 1819, but I still believe its a right. If its not a right then I think we have given up part of what the constitution was fundamentally written for.

That aside. Im doing the K-1 visa like most people here. I think the process is over the top. Infringes on what I think our rights as a USC should be. Hopefully the governement can find a better way in the future. Until then I'll play the game like everyone else. Unfortunetly it doesnt stop after the K-1 as T&D pointed out so well in a previous post.

and yes LisaD my fiancee does have the right to be here under the VWP. Your also right I dont like waiting. I dont think we should have to when anyone can come to the country legally or not. I think its punishing people who play by the rules, like us. I dont expect everyone to see it like me. I dont expect the government to be effiecient. ( I can dream can't I) I was just commenting on what you said in referance to me. Just wanted to explain myself and where I was coming from.


Her coming here is a privilege, not a right. She could be denied at any time. It is up to Immigration whether or not she is denied entry.

Not exactly probable, but being pedantic to prove a point.


But thank you for your response. I may not agree with you, but I appreciate the effort in replying.


He he, we can agree to disagree.

I believe a the VWP is a right because as long as you met the qualifying conditions and bring what is needed to prove it, your golden. People just dont come prepared if a officer is suspicious you dont met the VWP or have some other issue. Unfortunetly you get those people behind the counter who are pricks and can find a reason to deny anyone. Who could carry all that proof on them at anytime. We all just hope we dont get that person when we get in line.


But you're technically wrong because it it NOT a right. Go do some research.

I went into the UK on the VWP for 6 mos (their limit). I had proof of onward passage (my return ticket), I had verification of my bank account funds (cos that's a long time to stay with no job), I had my health insurance card with a printed list from my company of where I could get covered treatment should I get sick whilst on hols (which shows I'm not there to get the NHS) and many other pieces of evidence.

I was detained for 9 hours and almost deported.

Was it 'MY RIGHT' to be allowed entry into a foreign country? No, it wasn't. If British officials had decided to send me home, there's absolutely nowt I could have done about it.

You seriously need to research the difference between 'rights' and 'privileges'


That is because a officer has the right to refuse anyone at anytime for any reason. That still means you have the right to come to the USA under the VWP. If you want to pick my post apart that is fine. However my point to begin with is that you can come legally to this country on a VWP and get married. It is legal! If it was not legal people would never be able to adjust status afterwards.

Anyways if its something you want to do. Just take a "holiday" from work. Come over. After your here buy a ticket to Vegas with your fiance'. Dont plan ahead. You wouldnt want to come into the country on a legal VWP and have to lie if they ask you if your getting married. If nothing is set in stone, then nothings 100 percent planned until you do it. Its not something I would risk. Once you piss off the government your SOL.

United KingdomIn theory......

As for entitlements - I have a lot less trouble with people expressing a sense of entitlement over THIS than I do over artificially low tuition payments at state schools, not having to pay taxes, the right to a $1.50 gallon of gas, etc. . .

The right to marry is recognized as constitutionally guaranteed (let's leave out the creativity with which it has been interpreted with regards to same-sex couples or a variety of other areas - no really, leave it out!). I absolutely feel entitled to a speedy process here. I extra absolutely feel entitled to a process similarly speedy to that enjoyed by our North-Easter brothers and sisters who file through VT.

He's still going to comply with the laws here. He won't be stealing American jobs. Doesn't sound like he's moving here for the welfare benefits. He won't be an undocumented worker or illegal alien. Sounds like victimless crime to me.

Again, like I said, my opinion. Which has nothing to do with the laws or anyone's need to follow them.


Thank You for saving me the time to type that out.


The OP is asking a reasonable question. I assumed you should be able to go about immigrating this way. The OP would be coming into the country legally, and the Govt would have his fingerprints and he could AOS as normal. I dont think this is a sense of entitlement. They would be marrying a US citizen to AOS. I dont find that morally bad in any way. Anyone can come to america and not leave. Regardless if they wait 6 monthes or more for a K-1 visa. I made the personal desicion to use the K-1 visa route. I like to play things safe. I think that "My sense of Entitlement" as someone has said is completely normal and how I think the government should be working for us as citizens.

The constitution was written for the people. I think everyone should read it and understand WHY it was written. I could use a refresher myself.

( This post is 100 percent my Opinion and if I offend... Well no harm intended. )
Dan+NikkiMaleUnited Kingdom2007-03-16 17:30:00

I'm saying you should be prepared to answer those questions which could be asked. Do I think it is a problem - either practically or morally - no, not in the slightest. I'm fine with it. But again, whatever I'm fine with isn't something anyone should base a decision on.


I dont have a problem with it either. If the OP wants to give it a go knowing that there may be a chance of a problem in the future, that is his choice.

Dont even get me started on "Big Brother"

The real issue here is how sad it is that people are forced to consider ways to trick the system. Why should it take up to a year to bring a US citizens fiance' or Wife back home. Its pathetic!

United KingdomPosession of cannabis on police record

Ok, let's think about this a different way.

Let's say I enter the US on a visitor's visa, with no intent to marry. However, whilst there we realise that we do not want to be apart again and love each other so completely that we want to get married immediately. So, I propose (remember, we're not engaged in this hypothetical situation) and a week or so later we get married.

At this point, what's the score? Can I apply for AOS without having to leave the country first? You see where I'm going with this.

Thanks guys,

I would do what you have to do to be together. Besides the 10-20 Million Illegal immigrants that have crossed the border thru Mexico never have had criminal background checks. I don't understand why the government would be so hard ### about a old marijuana charge. Especially when someone is trying to do the process the legit way. Thats my 2 cents worth and I'm sticking to it.


Considering this is a forum for LEGAL immigration it is a bit rank to encourage people to do it illegally IMO.


Yeah, I figured as much.

So much red tape, so little common sense.


Is there no way for your fiancé to immigrate to the UK instead?


I didn't say to do it illegally. There are other ways of immigrating without a K-1 Visa !!

United KingdomWestern women with husbands from FSU countries
QUOTE (emmerkins @ Feb 29 2008, 07:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi there,

My name is Emma Sheridan and I am doing some research for a major broadcaster in the UK at the moment. I stumbled across this site and I'm hoping there might be some members on here that can help me shed some light on this project!! Let me explain a bit about the documentary...

At the moment I am working on the development of a programme looking at women increasingly assuming roles more traditionally associated with men, and in this specific case looking at women seeking foreign men for marriage.

We are hoping to produce a documentary that looks at women turning the traditional roles of seeking foreign partners on their heads, and getting online or otherwise to find their future husbands outside of the their home country. On the internet Russia and the Ukraine have almost become synonymous with marital introduction agency websites and it seems that brides from every corner of the globe are seeking western men on the internet. But what we have been interested in finding are western women seeking foreign husbands. According to various blogs and international dating sites there seem to be a growing number of marriage-hungry women becoming disillusioned with the western dating game and looking for happiness further away from home, however there don't seem to be any specific sites offering western women the chance to search for and meet a foreign husband.

We are extremely keen to discover whether any existing couples are out there, where the women have actively sought a foreign (Russian/Ukrainian) husband and asked him to relocate to their home.

I wondered whether anyone out there is aware of any such couples who are co-habiting/married/divorced. I would love to talk to anyone(confidentially of course) willing to help!

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Sounds like an interesting project. Why isnt there sites for woman looking for a foreign husband? We all know theres plenty for the man looking for a foreign bride. Good luck. Dont listen to the easily offended people who probably dont even understand the idea behind your project.

BTW Julezabelle whats wrong with being hungry for marriage. usually thats the way most people start a family and have children. You sound like an idiot imo. Marriage doesnt always fall in your lap, sometimes you need to find a like minded individual who has similar goals in life. I.E. match.com and many others help men and woman connect. Why isnt there the web presence for western woman to find a foreign husband on the web like there is for Men.

I use Northwest Airlines. You can buy tickets online for your fiance' with no problem. All he/she needs is a print out of his/her E-ticket and their passport.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaRio consulate and Citibank receipt
Hi All,
My fiance will have his visa interview at the end of February, and we are trying to sort out a few details that I'm hoping you can help us with.

I understand we need a receipt from Citibank for US$100 paid to the consular account. Can my fiance take care of this in Salvador (where he's from) and bring the receipt to Rio, or does it have to be the Citibank located near the Consulate?

Thanks in advance to anybody who can shed some light on this!
Peace,
M

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaFinancial documents--PLEASE HELP
Hi All,
Thanks again for all the information folks have shared on this site...it's been invaluable.

I'm finalizing the paperwork for my fiance to take to his interview in Rio. On the official guidelines it seems that the only necessary fiancial paperwork is the I-134 (affidavit of support) and the two supporting documents (letter from employer and letter from bank--i'm not self-imployed and dont have any bonds, so those dont apply to me). However, in the list people are given at the consulate, it appears that last year's tax forms are also requested.

My question is whether these tax forms are suggested or required. I ask because I've got a well-paying job and have sufficient money in the bank, but my tax forms from last year show me making significantly below the poverty line (I was in Brazil for half the year, and then spent several months looking for a job upon returning to the states). If it's not absolutely required, I'd rather not submit the tax forms.

Does anybody have insight about this???

I really appreciate your help.
Take good care,
M
