Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 May 2014 Filers

I'm filing late May, so  I'll add myself to the list soon.

 

I'm putting a mailing address that has a different state than the physical one. Anyone know to which service center I'm supposed to send it in this case?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSick and Tired of Just Waiting? Calling All VJ'ers to Action

Oh man.

 

I'll say it again. Immigration is NOT a right, you are asking for a privilege. Therefore, if they screw you over, there's really nothing you can do and very few Americans care about immigration anyway.

 

Also, USCIS is understaffed.

They care about illegal immigration and stopping President Obama, that is enough for us. 

 

Yeah, they want more non-white people in the US.

 

What everyone here needs to understand is that immigration is NOT A RIGHT.

 

It's unfair as hell, but it's the way things are.

PhilippinesWhy do you want to bring your spouse to the USA?
I don't want to bring my boyfriend to the US (especially to my state) because I know he wouldn't find a job... a programmer with just intermediate English? Yeah, good luck. In Moscow we have our flat, the car, good public transport, my uni, it's safe(er) than my state, good friends, etc. If we moved to my state it'd be hell... so now I just want him to visit the US to see the major cities and my state, but moving there? Not in ten years at least.

PhilippinesClothes Advice for My Filipina Wife
Forever 21 has cheap and great prostitute clothes fashionable clothes. And since she's Filipino, I'm assuming she's petite, so it'd be easier for her to find smaller-sized clothes there.

Philippineshelp with mama
Sounds to me like you wanted to get a 19 year old near-slave, and to do so you tried to impress her with money and gifts and so on, therefore getting her family on board with shipping her off to a foreign country while she still hasn't had time to mold her own life, and that now you're shocked it's backfired.

She's 19. Chances are, regardless of where she's from, she will NOT have the same ideas of "budgeting" as you do (but if you're broke and spent so much money, I guess you don't either?). It also means that her mother's influence over her will still be very strong, and that will only increase as she needs help on things only a mother would know (raising children and so on).

Maybe us liberals, as you self-righteously put it, don't 100% agree with a traditional man works, wife stays at home scenario. But your fellow conservatives would agree that it's better that she works, therefore making your family more money, getting rid of debt, and not ever becoming a burden of the state? Maybe you could both learn to manage your money.

Again, she's 19. She doesn't know what she wants, she only knows what everyone else in her "tribe" (personally I'd never marry a man who insinuated my people were less civilized and more barbaric than his but I'm sure she doesn't know you think this way) and you expect of her. If you have any love and respect for her, you'd let her work a bit, be a housewife for a bit, etc. Let her see what SHE wants, because if she gets pressured into something and realizes she hates it and feels trapped, neither of you will be happy.

Exactly why a lawyer is needed, to prove he didn't know.


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-10-24 19:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFiancee visa denied after AP... Please read

 

Yeah of course something triggered this.  It appears that the woman/girl falsified her age and name on Lao government documents.  There is no indication that the op was invloved with that.  And perhaps she is under the age of 18.  But we don't actually know that yet, now do we?  Concerns being raised...the word concerns.  This could indicate that they don't even know how old this girl is.  Many people in these countries have no birth certificate.  It is possible that she fabricated the entire scheme.  Is it not?

It doesn't matter. If he doesn't take this seriously (he is not), he will be in deep.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFiancee visa denied after AP... Please read

I am surprised at the piling on of this guy with so little to go on.

 

As I read his words: 

 

1) He didn't know she  was under 18 (he saw family documents indicating she was older than 18) . . . and still does not know what her true age is.

 

2) He never said he had sex with her.  The words he received only stated they were looking into it since she had changed her name.  Didn't say they knew she was under 18 or that they had knowledge of any sex between the two.

 

Well sure, I agree that shouldn't be having sex with underage persons - - - in any country; but no evidence presented here that it happened, and the authorities didn't even suggest it had; just that they were going to turn the info over to some other agency to pursue it further.

 

Yes, I agree the true silliness was him wanting to go back - - - for any reason and under any circumstances.

 

Of course there may be a real case to be made for this person's involvement in something illegal.  But the poster has never presented such - - - and certainly no one here has presented any such evidence.

 

At least I am not saying he did or didn't do that.

 

I am saying that this is a very very serious  matter, and that the least he should worry about right now is her or immigration or going back. If I were him, I'd get a lawyer and do everything in my power to avoid a minor until this is solved.

I dont know her real age. After she was denied, we broke up. She change her number.
Will I still be safe to travel there for the new year?

 

If you do that, you deserve to win a Darwin award.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGetting frustrated with differences between embassies

Those differences also work out in your favor. CO's know that some things are okay in some countries and others not, so, if your relationship is a bit "off" by US standards but okay by local ones, you're good.

I know it sucks. But, you'll have a stronger relationship for it. Nothing builds communication skills better than talking on Skype for hours every day....


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-10-03 18:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsdont want to wait another 4 or 5 months

Then quit. If a few months is enough to make you consider breaking up, you shouldn't get married, it's not that important to you. It astounds me how people talk about breaking up like if their loved ones are replaceable; I CANNOT imagine my life without my husband... I'd wait the few months, even if it hurt and I was miserable through it.


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-10-03 09:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat do you think?

Let me say it again, the K1 visa is NOT a "get to know each other" visa.


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-12-01 19:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat do you think?

We dont argue. We dont fight.

 

Of course you don't. You saw each other for what I'm sure was a romance-filled week worthy of bad reality TV, and talk some hours a day about your day to day lives, nothing controversial there.

 

Everyone argues. That you're not means; a. you avoid talking about controversial topics or b. for whatever reason one or both of you doesn't disagree in order to keep the peace and attain something at the end of this.


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-12-01 17:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat do you think?

One week isn't enough. Honestly, I can't believe the US government allows and approves petitions for people who've spent so little time together, but alas, how's it different from meeting a random guy and getting married in Vegas? I was lucky... I lived in Russia, so I lived with my husband before marriage and immigration stuff, but had I not lived in Russia, I would've waited a lot longer to get married and stuff, because you simply don't know a person well until you've lived with them and seen them at their best and worst (a week is merely a honeymoon, almost).

 

I don't know if you've dated internationally before, but it's HARD. If he's not from a fellow Anglo-Saxon culture, you WILL have culture shock. There will be fights that were actually miscommunication, misunderstandings, expectations will have to be adjusted, compromises have to be made, etc. It's like any other relationship, except this guy, being from another culture, might have some different views on family, work, etc, that might be a big deal.

 

I'd be careful. Not to mention lonely, older American women are wonderful targets for scams.


AmyWritesFemaleRussia2013-12-01 14:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWe screwed up and got denied the visa
