K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US. What do I need to do to qualify?	go see an immigration attorney. Its obvious that you dont want to return. Im certainly not convinced that you are marrying for love, but for a green card. How is she going to supply the affidavit of support?? ...since she is on welfare. She is already pregnant, has my kid and if still you are saying that i am marrying for green card, then god please help me But she already got a job in Dunking Donuts and previously she worked in there too although quit when she was promoted to the position of a manager May be she aint gonna be able to do that, or the opposite could happen, but i can bring a co-sponsor if you want. I don't want to return and that's true. But it's also true that i am marrying her for love, not the green card. But a green card or the permission to stay and work legally in the USA is needed if i truly love her and provide her with financial support and everything so that she and my future child can enjoy a better life. If I truly love her, then i will also want to live together with her too in a room and apartment and they all cost money. What do you want me to do? You want me to live together with her illegally and starve and die in her apartment? or do you want me to find a job legally so that i could build a better future for the up-coming family?	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-10 21:41:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US. What do I need to do to qualify?	Be either a US Citizen, or Lawful Permanent Resident (Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. ) to qualify to file an I-130 http://travel.state....types_1306.html "You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US. Not everyone does, and in some cases doing so can be considered fraud and result in being deported and banned from re-entry into the US for a period of time. If you attempt to file and you do not qualify your legal status in the US can be placed in jeopardy. J1 Visa holders will almost always require a waiver and should consult with an immigration lawyer or the USCIS for more information. If you have any doubt, consult an immigration attorney. If your fiance/fiancee came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, and you are not yet married, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the K-1 visa should be filed (using an I-129f) instead of the I-130 to avoid a denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. If you are already married, and your spouse came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the I-130 (or along with an I-129f for a K-3 Visa) should be filed with the relative outside of the U.S. to avoid denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. The above conditions are serious and can result in the separation of families for many years if not taken seriously" My future wife is an US citizen by birth. I came here on tourist visa and expired. She wants to file for me two-three months after we get married but she doesn't want me to go back to my home country. She wants me to adjust my status living inside the US. I didn't come to the US with the intent of immigration and marriage. I have come to the US before on 2005 and stayed for 5 months but this time i am staying for more than 7 months, although i was supposed to leave in 6 months after the entry to the US. So far, i have calculated and figured out that i have overstaying for more than 45 days. The expiry date printed on the i-94 card was november 05, 2006. It strongly states in Guides that if the couple are already married, and the spouse came to the US on tourist visa with the intent of immigration, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the I-130 (or along with an I-129f for a K-3 Visa) should be filed with the relative outside of the U.S. to avoid denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. But it's just that I can't afford to go back because due to the lack of work permit i didn't look for work, although i work 6 days a week only to receive food and shelter from my employer. and since i haven't been receiving any money, i certainly can't afford to pay for the plane tickets, which would cost more or less than 2500 dollars in total. Also i fear that i will be denied reentry to the US because i have overstayed and two. in my country, even a legal marriage to a US citizen is considered fraud since so many people in my country would risk their lives to make it to the US by any means. hence i'm too afraid and she is too, which is why she wants me to get married to her in the US, then she will file for my EAD and i-130 and adjust status sitting in the US, not outside the US. is it possible at all?	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-10 21:07:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US. What do I need to do to qualify?	"You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US" << That's what i found in Guides. The question is: what do i have to do to QUALIFY?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Can K-3 visa be denied	I would not worry about a visitor's visa being denied since some countries do not allow visitor visas but other visas are approved without any problems. I know a male coming from Pakistan cannot get a visitors visa to the USA I personally would not worry about the B2 denial and wishing you good luck on the remainder of your journey. Mary this is not always true. i know of a guys whose boss is from afghanistan and he is a millionaire us citizen now but he came here on visit visa and 4 dollars in his pocket	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-08 21:05:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	i think from now on i ud just keep my retarded mouth shut and read what others are saying instead of describing my problems from fast to last asking for help. i bet that would help me solve whatever i'm going through. it doesn't feel good to be laughed at at all nowadays. i'm in lots of troubles and kinda frustrated when i see people drive cars in the streets and even though i can drive faster than any NYC cop, i can do squat to get me a driver's license. sometimes i feel that those who actually have got green cards through any means are god-gifted talented people and they are born magicians. how do you people do it? also so many people have won the diversity visa lottery but so many haven't. this whole issue has already made many illegal people commit suicide because there is just too much difference between the legals and illegals. for example studying should be encouraged and for example if i say i wanna study in college, compete with fellow students and get scholarship and stuff, the teachers should be happy. but if i say that to any teacher in any college in the US and express my willingness to study in his/her college, he/she gives me a form to fill out and in that form what i should write in the SSN field is something i'm asking god to tell me. i know some people before 9/11 came here and got taxi driver's license and making loads of money but after 9/11 noone can make fake documents anymore. things have gotten stricter. can anyone tell me wheather or not i should wait till the bush government gives me the amnesty? or should i go back to bangladesh and start to lose the willingness to live on that i earned in the US? this would be my very last post in this website and i thank you all for your assistance, encouragement and discouragement. but before i leave, i hope someone experienced would tell me wheather or not the government would give plain amnesty to us....please!!	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-13 19:28:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	hmm this is frustrating. i'm probably going to move to finland in a couple of weeks then. my brother married my finnish aunt and got papers over there, although in my last and only trip to finland he was able to do for me squat. let's leave US and try to find a girl in Finland, although i tried that previously but with no satisfactory result. how do you study in Finland if you are a tourist? last time i tried to do that but they directly asked me wheather or not i am married to a finnish citizen and have a passport with a finnish study or work visa	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-13 18:48:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	I honestly cannot pick which part of this thread is my favorite. From the quoting of tupac, to fax the police, to all of the insane, hypocritical Lohanesque babblings of cessna, to I AM A ROBOT, I just don't think I can ever choose which part is my favorite. I can however say that this is a very strong contender for my favorite VJ thread ever. thanks. but who quoted tupac where and when? pls notify asap	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-12 23:50:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	WOW - there's no way I can even READ that post.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	Somehow this thread went from making sence and being helpful, to a bunch of retarded things being thrown in that had no help for the OP at all u r saying this thread isn't making sense while you failed to be sensible enough to at least perform a double-check on the word 'sence' that you're using to attack me. next time you want to write something that makes sense, please spell it s e n s e, not 'sence'. Yes I admit some 'retarded things' have been thrown in but to us illegals it's all normal since we do live a retarded and tortured life in the US while you lucky people who were born in here or got married to a USC would simply call it 'retarded'. i wouldn't blaim you and I hope even my arch enemy gets somebody to get married to if he is illegal because the pain is simply over-powering	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-12 22:12:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	By the way, who's lazy? is it the person who has been living here for the past 2 years but can't afford 500 dollars for filing and etc etc or the one who is bound to send 500 dollars home for his mother's treatment and still can afford to buy dell's latest AMD line of laptops for his gfs? who is lazy? the one who is abusing and calling the immigration process '#######' or the one who truly loved america and can sing like tupac proudly "to live and die in US, the place to be, you have got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see" ? Your posts aren't very consistent, depending on what thread is read. Aren't you the one that has been receiving financial assitance from your aunt for months? That you've only been working for food since you didn't have a work permit and you couldn't possibly borrow the money for return tickets because you couldn't repay? Who was "stuck" here because your planes are no longer allowed to land in the US and instead of buying a return ticket just decided to stay...while the love of your life American girlfriend "somehow" got a hold of you by the internet just by coincidence....that you have suddenly decided to marry and is now pregnant with your child...while she already has other children, is on welfare, but is working 35 hours a week (because that's all she's permitted to work so she can still get welfare)? yep. yep i'm working for food and shelter. yep i can't and will never be able to borrow the money for return tickets because i wouldn't be able to repay if i have to work in my homeland that has been ranked number one in corruptioon 4 times in a row, because we are too poor and in order to get a job not only you have to be educated but also you need hidden and internal links with various people of the government to get a good job that would be able to pay me the money that i would have to borrow from my aunt or whoever that is. read up more about our bankrupt and poverty-ridden country by searching for the term 'bangladesh' in google. in my country 65 is equal to one US dollar an average educated smart handsome eligible guy over there earns maximum 6000 BDT per month (as a starting salary) which is 92 dollars in US currency. plane ticket from NYC to Zia international airport would cost 1300 dollars (i have searched continously for two months and knocked on doors of almost all cheap miserable but knowlegeable and trustworthy travel agencies in NYC but they have failed to provide me with a cheap price. if i earn 92 dollars per month in bangladesh, do you want me to just send the whole amount to my aunt or whoever lends me the money and die nameless and foodless? why don't you better tell me to commit suicide in the US instead? that way i could say to the gatekeeper of hell that i didn't die in a country where you can't go outside without fear of getting shot by muggers in daylight right in front of the cops, where electricity goes out so often that innocent tender students have to lit candles in the evening to resume their studies while using a hand-made hand-driven fan with their hands to keep them cool while reading and getting bit the f*** up by mosquitos while the government just sits inside his/her royal air-conditioned and electricity generator run place (in case electriciy goes out in his/her place, it will be restored immediately in the blink of an eye by the million dollar generators imported from US) and laugh at the poor homeless jobless foodless citizens, where natural calamities is almost an everyday issue and road accidents, gang-raping of children and women is a very common scenario. more than 2000 children have been gang-raped so many times in paddy fields of the rural areas of my homeland and got killed after the retards were satisfied physically, so that the child can't live to tell the tale to the authority. in some cases people come forward to deter the raper and take the child to nearby hospitals given that the criminal ain't armed or vicious. but after the unarmed retard flees the scence, he bribes bigger gangstars of his local neighborhoud and tells them to threaten the child's mother and father to kill and set fire on their homes if they go to the cops, where cops stand by as muggers loot thousands and thousands of dollars from small business jewellary stores and flee but not before sharing some of the loot with the cops in question, where the high-up officials of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, for which i was able to travel more than 27 countries on free tickets and got to stay in 5 star hotels with my father since he is a chief purser of the airlines and finally got to sleep with the girl of my dream that i have been chatting with online for more than 1 and half year, are so corrupt and misused so much fund given to them by the government that even after FAA banned the old, malnourished, fragile, inefficient dc-10-30s from landing in the US, they can't buy new aircraft and instead now they are planning on selling the whole airlines to a third party client which will eventually mean that my dad will be forcefully fired which will also mean he is going to starve to death sooner or later, god forbid, where woman can't go hang around with their lovers after 6 o'clock cause corrupt bribe-loving undercover cops act like the guy hired a prostitute and being a muslim country prostituion is banned and showing such a reason they arrest both of them, handcuff them and imprison them until and unless their relatives come up with at least more than 1000 US currency or BDT equivalent, where education is meaningless and worthless in other first world countries and last but not the least, where right now the army has been spawned to kill on sight anyone who is seen wandering about in the street without a valid reason. and on the contrary, in NYC, even if i am forced to commit suicide for marrying a white american girl cause i am illegal, then at least before death i can ask my girl, as a last wish, to hang around with me in a bar and have a couple of drinks, get out and kiss her and show the whole world my passion for her without fear of getting f***-up by cops. Who was "stuck" here because your planes are no longer allowed to land in the US and instead of buying a return ticket just decided to stay << it was ME. while the love of your life American girlfriend "somehow" got a hold of you by the internet just by coincidence << um what do you mean? i have been chatting with not only her, by numerous american, british, japanese and thai gfs and male friends of mine for years. and i am an ok person and have enjoyed my share of girls in wherever i went. remember that i am not like any of you. i am a professional traveler and i have visited countries that are far more better than US for people to live in with peace, harmony and enjoyment. everywhere i went i was treated with respect and money due to the fact that my father was a chief purser of an international airlines and airline crews are not ordinary people. they risk their lives every single nano second and also for your info, if you keep on travelling and at the same time working by air at below or above 25000 and 30000 feet altitude on an extremely constant basis, then it slowly and steadily takes away from your body some vital ingredients required to stay healthy and for that crews receive something called 'jet allowance'. this is not your dunking donut's job that you do once you marry your wife and get legal and get work permit that so many illegals like me will never get in this lifetime, pj1959us. this is about struggle, hardship and facing death and every kinds of wicked and all kinds of retardedness and i don't even want my arch enemy to face what i am facing now as an illegal being threatened by his indian employer and not getting paid in time and when asked for money the employer tells him to shut up and buys him a 20 LB bag of white rice and something called 'daal', a liquid-based food. but i feel so proud that my father was legal in his homeland and was able to keep my mother happy with money and everything, while i might have to do the same thing for my wife also but with an illegal status. i am proud that at least my father was honoured by so many other employees and pilots at his workplace for his brilliance, talent and hard work, while in my case the only difference is that everytime i ask him, my employer, to pay me the salary, he tells me that he will have to pay the government a big fine and his business will be closed down shut if i get arrested by cops for working illegally by any chance and for that reason only, he is taking my salary and gathering it in his bank as a security deposit. if i get arrested for overstaying and working illegally, he will use the money to pay the government the fine. and everywhere i went they took a little interview and i passed almost all of them except one in a bar but in each instance, at the very final moment, i was told to show a valid work permit or proof of permanent residency and failure to show them those resulted in a polite apology and denial, although in one dunkin donuts branch in 28th street broadway manhattan the boss got pissed off and asked me to get outta his sight since he belives that illegals are taking away jobs from normal citizens. while the love of your life American girlfriend "somehow" got a hold of you by the internet just by coincidence << i kept contact with her from my homeland in online and by phone and when i came to the US and i believe i was in a rush when i posted my first-ever post in VJ but what happened is that during my second and last trip to the us she actually trusted me enough to reveal her house address and sent it to me in one of our phone conversations. she is a scared-type person and fully believes that it's not safe to reveal his personal information and stuffs to unknown people online. after she gave me that address, she just asked me to know wheather or not i want to honour this relationship of ours by patronising her house whenever i can and i gladly accepted. after we met each other, we spent time together and then i came back to nyc and went back to VT again after a week cause both of us felt that it was kinda irritating and impossible for both of us to live seperately, since we liked each other's performance and everything else starting from personalities, smile, face, appearance, ambitions, accents and everything else. multiples times we asked each other wheather or not we have any problems with each other and the answer turned out to be no. and most probably in my last meeting with her she got pregnant which is a normal thing to happen, isn't it? that you have suddenly decided to marry and is now pregnant with your child...while she already has other children, is on welfare, but is working 35 hours a week (because that's all she's permitted to work so she can still get welfare)? << yes i have suddenly decided to marry because i am a man of 24 and she is 27 and i realized that she needs mental, emotional and financial (if i ever really get paid for the illegal ####### that i do) support and the prime reason behind why all her previous three children was forced to be given up for adoption is that she chose to stay single and the state observed that since she aint got no husband or anyone to support the children and she herself being unable to work because of her severe illness in her feet, the kids were forced to be adopted. yes she is on welfare just like so many other people in various states and it's nothing to frown at, since government just doesn't distribute the welfare with his eyes closed. a thorough investigation was performed on my fiancee by doctors when she couldn't stand anymore and had to drop unconcious while working as a manager of dunkin donuts. i have it all written on papers prepared by lawyers and state officials and i brought them all to NYC just to keep a record with myself and if you're so curious about my case, they will be sent to you by email only to help you refrain from being so curious and jealous of the welfare she receives. i don't mean to be rude but if you are so jealous of someone gettting welfare, then you do the investigation on him/her yourself and go to the f**** government officials and show them the proofs that she is getting welfare by showing false documents. do something about it. she is a US citizen and the government himself made the law to provide support to citizens who are sick, unable to work for true reasons and need help. And she herself told me that she needs someone loving and caring enough to stay with her at all times and that way she believes she will get around soon. and being a person born in bangladesh who used to wake up in the morning in his dad's house and looked at the newspaper only to find out in big headlines who got killed and raped and who set fire on who, i decided to stretch my hands and embrace her with my everything that i have as of now (which is not green card, money, SSN, work permit, driving license or a job that doesn't even pay a single cent per hour except white rice and 'daal', but simple love, care, passion, trustfulness, honesty, respect and the willingness to stick to her wheather or not i get deported in future.) i believe that even she believes that love, care, passion, trustfulness, honesty, respect and the willingness to stick to her is meaningless unless i can bring her money, but if she is okay with a person who can't earn money, then she won't be bothered with me staying around her. most of the girls in the US are selfish, as my fellow illegal indian/asian labourers say, and they can't stand asian men and even if they hang around with asians, they make their lives a living hell by asking for money, cars and stuffs but she is not really like that, and she also understands what i really get from my workplace. is on welfare, but is working 35 hours a week (because that's all she's permitted to work so she can still get welfare)? << at this point i think for some reasons you weren't either given education properly willingly in your childhood or you spent your childhood smoking crack. and please next time you wanna talk about something you have simply have no knowledge about, please warn me beforehand so that i can use my valuable time on something else, such as working towards my GED, the only thing that they don't have any problem with allowing me to study without the need of your green card that you already have or will have and i pray to god you will get! The government provides her with welfare and that's true but still knows that what she is provided with by the government isn't enough to pay for her last child that's not been adopted as of 2006 and for her basic needs such as food, phone bills, cell bills, cable tv etc etc. she is allowed to work 35 hours a week not only because she needs to properly take care of the child, her education and everything else, but also because she can't work more than that anyways since the doctors have certified that if she does exceed that time limit, the condition of her feet will get worse. and before i dismiss the case, i want to reveal that i did work for money for the first 4 months in a photocopy center in 1st avenue, manhattan but later failed to show to the owner that someday my SSN will arrive. nowadays even cops are arresting people without a valid permission to live and work in the US here in manhattan and people who are illegal are getting arrested on a daily basis. after seeing an arrest right in front of my eyes, i immediately quit the job and told the owner about my overstaying and left him and found a job that i can do in an underground basement, like the one that i am doing now. and with the four month's earning that i kept with myself, i bought a Dell Inspiron laptop for my gf outta love, and most of the rest of the money was sent to Bangladesh for my mother's illness in kidney. She was treated in the US before and they found out both of her kidneys were not functioning and she received treatment for free for she had no money but had to buy medicines for 40 dollars per prescription at Jacobi Medical Center, bronx, NYC what's up piqu? funny and cute pic thanks	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-12 21:40:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	Oh ####### 500 dollars only? ####### Is that a lot of money? ####### what do you do? ####### I have seen so many people in NYC do crappy illegal job in perfume stores and earn a ####### load of money as salary and add to that commission, benefits etc. ####### so many illegal people in USA use other people's social security number and earn a ####### load of money too! The permission to legally remain and work in the USA itself is worth more a billion dollars. US is the most powerful, richest and strongest country with a strong economy and her education, culture, fashion, langauge accent, movies, actors and actresses, technology are envied and mimicked in numerous first world, middle-eastern and third class countries as well. My Aunt in Finland is teaching her kids to speak in American English so that someday they could come to America and get admission into schools without confronting too much problems and language barricade. And speaking of your 500 dollars...I believe (although i am not sure) that the money will be spent on conducting investigation on you, your wife, her records, employment, bills, tax etc etc and come on! the immigration people are human too and they need to get paid for what they do. I have been to 27 countries so far including USA and in each visa interview everyone starting from the cops standing guard at the gates to the interviewer were happy with me in every ways since I did pay my honest respect to their cause, which made their work easier. Respect the country you want to live in, respect her citizens and respect her laws. How would you feel if you are not getting paid for what you are doing? Ya you're cool.... Seriously, you need to grow up, or find somewhere better to share your "intelligent" insight. Btw, regardless of how much you brag about america being the best country, that's YOUR opinion, you act like im coming from bosnia or something. This may be a shocker to you but Canada is a 1st world country and Im here for 1 reason, and that's my wife. If it wasnt for her, I would never ever ever have moved here. To the other people: Thanks for all the help! Im getting a free consultation with an immigration attorney and hopefully things will work out! 1. I never claimed that canada was a third world country, 2. I believe I am cool, although I don't really try to be, and if someone says i am not, i don't really have any problem with that, but thanks for the compliment 3. I'm grown up, can work harder than any men more grown-up than me and i single-handedly, without depending on either the government or relatives, payed for my mom's food, rent and medical treatments when she was in the USA. And for some reasons I have never earned more than 1000 dollar per month no matter how good i am or how well i have done my job at workplace and i'm working as an assistant of an electronics business tycoon in Manhattan but being threatened and black-mailed consistently whenever i tell him to pay my salary in a timely manner. I have been through all kinds of hardship and struggle you can think of in your wildest dreams and even after all these, i am tough enough to afford to pay more than 250 dollars for JetBlue Airtickets to meet my gf in VT and buy her expensive gifts, laptop (recently she needs a dell XPS laptop which is worth more than 1999 dollars) and yeah for the love of a woman in this lonely life of mine I am going to buy her that (many of you might think oh okay she is gonna marry you and file for you and hence you are doing all these? cool! but She is not gonna marry me that's what she told me and may be after 4-5 years she will make such a decision) and still i would have never frowned if i was born in a first world country like you and had to pay 500 dollars for filing purposes. 4. I have been to more than 27 countries (and yeah most of them are first world countries) and many girls dated, slept, had sex and proposed me and i have done what a grown man always does but in none of them did i ever overstayed in a country for the love of a woman. no matter how strong your love for a girl is, when you overstay, you break the immigration laws, to begin with. And yes i am grown-up enough to pay for my wife/gf/love's plane fare also so that she can come visit me in my home country and stay there if needed. I don't have to overstay to be with her. 5. I have been living in the US for the past 6 months and i i have been able to afford a room (not shared), 20 inch monitor, dell's latest AMD dual core computer, a dell inspiron laptop, bed, new clothes, food, alcohol and everything i always dreamt of possessing by spending my own money instead of depending on others and i know of so many grown up persons who haven't been able to be living in so many first world countries what i am today. look at the homeless people in NYC's subways. And look at you too! 6. The universal fact that canada is a first world country aint no shocker to me and I am educated enough to not be shocked when i have to send more than 500 bucks to my home country for my mother's medical purposes and it might be a shocker to you if you can have a close look at the pages of my passport and find out tourist visas given to me by so many visa officers of so many first world countries starting from USA, UK, Japan, Finland, Italy, Germany Norway to Sweden. and If you have any doubt, i will mail those pages to you, just in case you don't wanna believe somebody you apparently are hating on so much. And in each of those countries i didn't have to live like a homeless and worry about 500 dollars. I was born in a third world country but yes i am not lazy and i believe if i had the permission to study in any first world countries, i could have done and earned way much more than any average white or black by-birth americans or canadians. 7. you brag about america being the best country, that's YOUR opinion" << 1) Yes i bragged about it. And at the very same time I am honoured to practice my freedom of speech given to me by his honour the government of the United States of America and protected by the first amendment to the united states constitution. Many americans deeply truly and madly cherish this right and take it for granted. 2) you have been living in the US illegally for two years but have you ever listened to any Dr Dre rap song where he said 'F** The police' ? No you haven't. Yes America is not only the best country you will ever find in any planets in this solar system and this opinion has been expressed by not only me, but millions and millions of highly qualified, educated scientists, NASA engineers, mathematicians, workers, labourers, doctors and people who have done so much hard work to uphold the image of the US in the eyes of other countries. So many books have been written about america the best, strongest, powerful, mighty and richest. Those millions of people and me are entitled to our own opinion but truthfully speaking, it's not a mere opinion anymore. it's become an universal truth. 8. Next time, before you decide to make a fool and immature person outta yourself by saying to someone that he/she is bragging about America's this or that aspect, at first go verify the claim and figure out why this aspect of america is to be found nowhere in this whole world and why and then if your brains can't calculate and analyze enough and you do tend to flame that person, just go ahead and tell him/her that he/she is bragging. otherwise take a deep breath, admit that you were born in a first world country but compared to what God and his creatures have bestowed upon the US of A, Canada is nothing and stay calm. Slow and steady wins the race! I'm sorry your mother didn't tell you that rabbit and tortoise story, so didn't my mom. but again I am GROWN UP enough to have heard that story from real life's struggle and hardship as a person coming from third world to live in first world without any back-up of any kind whatsoever. 9. you act like im coming from bosnia or something" << Nope i never did. I am not an actor, although i wish i was. If you were really from bosnia i would have even gone to the extent of donating you a dime or something like that to you and my sympathy and empathy would have also reflected in my posts. But if you really had the qualities and manner that the government and learned folks of your 'first world country' always expect you to possess, you would have at least tried for a split second to understand my sense of humour and noticed that like the poster who made fun of your '#######' word a little bit, i was also emphasising more on your attitude and that word, although i added some more sentences after that, just to release and express my love towards the country who have donated billions and billions of dollars to third world countries to save millions of lives affected by natural calamities and disaster. Last but not the least, I wish you all the best with you life with your wife. Enjoy America and worship the statue of liberty, respect America and her government and stay free with freedom, cause freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. -Dwight D.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	Thanks alot guys! I have another question. Let's say I was walking the street and a police officer pulls over and asks me for information or whatever in a routine check, when I show him that I only have a Canadian ID would I have to goto jail and then be deported after jail time for being illegal? Also, would the amount of time ive been here show up in their computers? I used to give a f about cops long time ago but nowadays whenever i see them i feel tired and if they ask me for any ID i just tell them "my ID is in my home. let's go to my home with me and you will stand downstairs and i will go upstairs and bring the ID back to you" (i did this thrice so far LOL) and upon hearing this and having a close look at my face, they say alright. But i wanna ask you...why do you think the police officer will pull you over? do you drive a car illegally also? lol...well and if you dont, then are you implying that you are committing any crime now? Cause in NYC they will ask you for your ID only if you have gotten yourself into something that involves a crime	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-08 20:41:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	[quote name='fwaguy' post='609917' date='Dec 8 2006, 12:04 PM'][quote name='pleh' post='609902' date='Dec 8 2006, 11:00 AM']I just looked into the forms for the I-130 and the I-485. Apparently it will come to around 500 dollars and then god only knows how much it will be for the lawyer.. ####### what have I gotten myself into :/[/quote] Oh ####### 500 dollars only? ####### Is that a lot of money? ####### what do you do? ####### I have seen so many people in NYC do crappy illegal job in perfume stores and earn a ####### load of money as salary and add to that commission, benefits etc. ####### so many illegal people in USA use other people's social security number and earn a ####### load of money too! The permission to legally remain and work in the USA itself is worth more a billion dollars. US is the most powerful, richest and strongest country with a strong economy and her education, culture, fashion, langauge accent, movies, actors and actresses, technology are envied and mimicked in numerous first world, middle-eastern and third class countries as well. My Aunt in Finland is teaching her kids to speak in American English so that someday they could come to America and get admission into schools without confronting too much problems and language barricade. And speaking of your 500 dollars...I believe (although i am not sure) that the money will be spent on conducting investigation on you, your wife, her records, employment, bills, tax etc etc and come on! the immigration people are human too and they need to get paid for what they do. I have been to 27 countries so far including USA and in each visa interview everyone starting from the cops standing guard at the gates to the interviewer were happy with me in every ways since I did pay my honest respect to their cause, which made their work easier. Respect the country you want to live in, respect her citizens and respect her laws. How would you feel if you are not getting paid for what you are doing?	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-08 20:35:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Screwed up big time	I suppose its possible you could adjust without problems. I would seek a qualified immigration attorney to help me, though, or just go back to Canada with your wife. Good luck in whatever you decide. How in the name of God do you find a qualified lawyer in, for say, New York City, NY, where I live? How can i be sure that the lawyer in question has helped people like the canadian guy before and was successful? How do I entirely rely on him and stop worrying about this and that related to immigration? I am afraid of talking to lawyers. everytime i visit one, i just think he is lying and giving me false hope, no matter how hard he tries to convince me by saying that he has done it a lot of times and how many times he wants to show me proofs of his previous cases. May be i am suffering from extreme paranoia, but again i don't dare to even dream of completing the forms and doing all the work myself, although i will confidently claim that i do have what it takes to do the work of a lawyer in marriage-based immigration related cases. If the thingy isn't approved by the government, will i be able to sue the lawyer or ask him to take next necessary steps or appeal or tell him to give me back my money? i bet these questions have struck newbies like me a million times. But one thing for sure. If you really can't find a qualified lawyer, then simply don't go ahead. Fake crooked lawyers without valid licenses and experience can entirely wipe out your future in the US. I don't have a rough and bitter experience yet since I have never tried to be an immigrant in the US, but i have seen my relatives who put their trust on unreliable people who falsely claimed they were lawyers and lost thousands and thousands of dollars in the process.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I'm illegal alien and she is on social security welfare. Who would pay the fees and how?	I thought you were gone forever . . . You already know she has to prove that she can financially support you. Obviously she has to pay all of the fees associated with your petition unless you can give her money from home. Hey kitkat what's bro/sis how's life? long time no see? Are you a green card holder yet? Yes I already know. Okay I will tell her about it. thanks	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-17 00:45:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I'm illegal alien and she is on social security welfare. Who would pay the fees and how?	Hi, I'm an illegal alien, don't have a work permit and the US citizen who's supposed to marry and file petition for me is on social security welfare. In this case, if she wants to file petition, who is supposed to pay it? how? Social security welfare isn't going to cover the fees, she has to. And she also has to be above the 125% poverty line... not sure that is possible with what social security pays out. Since you are here illegally, you do know that if you've overstayed your visa by a considerable time, you may be forced to return to your home country for 3 or 10 years? Thanks. I haven't been overstaying for 180 days as of today. If she is unable to be above 125% poverty line, then I have relatives who can come forward and provide a co-sponsorship. If all my relatives turn their backs on me, I will go from door to door to find me a sponsor. I believe it's not gonna be a huge problem. But I heard once somewhere that if the US citizen receives social security benefit/welfare then the government would consider it and may want to waive the fees. Forgive me if I'm wrong. It's not a big deal. If she can't come up with the money, then I will most probably sell this dell desktop that I'm using at 12:41 AM in the morning to come up with the cash. But finding a co-sponsor is going to be tricky anyways. Thanks again for giving a damn about my post. I really need a lot of information but don't have money to consult/take professional help from a lawyer.	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-17 00:43:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	K-1 Visa Denied!	I agree with other who have replied. You should have viited your fiance sooner. Going forward I would suggest you visit your fiance again (take lots of pictures keep all receipts and plane tickets) Refile your I129F. Some people are saying I should refile, some are saying I don't have to refile, Some are saying that I should contact the embassy. I don't know who to listen to??? Everyone in here is talking different. If you have not recently visited your fiance or you have no intention of visiting your fiance anytime soon in the future, your only hope is to try to appeal your case with the consulate. You have not cured the condition in which your original petition was allegedly denied upon and any refiled petition will be denied because nothing has changed. Does that make sense? personally i would go crazy if i can't go visit my gf and just slam her down on the back and have <censored> after every two-three months. she lives in Vermont and i live in NYC and the plane fair is like 200 dollars up and down each time but anyways three years is a damn long time i mean damn no sex in three years what's wrong with you all? "(take lots of pictures keep all receipts and plane tickets)" Um what about videos? which one works best? videos or still pics? I got lots of videos of my gf taking shower and walking with me in Burlington and while we were going to the city clerk's office to purchase the marriage license, it was all video-taped.	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-04 23:29:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Pictures for interview	Hello, I want to know if it is absolutely necessary to have a picture of the married couple (K-3) during the embassy interview or other evidence will suffice. I have bunch of other information (E-mails, greeting cards, money transfer receipts, letters through snail mail, phone records etc), but no pics. Will this be a problem. Any comments will be highly appreciated. Hello, Why you do not have pics? They are the biggest and sure shot evidence that you both are married to eachother. hello, i have videos of me and my gf taking shower nude together in her residence in VT. they were done with a sony dcrpc30 camcorder. will this be a problem? )	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-08 20:57:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Letter from employer about my employment	Should I ask my boss for the letter stating my job title, start date, salary, and full-time status tomorrow, or is it too soon? (See timeline in my signature for where we are in the visa process.) My 3-month "probation period" with this job will end January 26th, I'm not sure if I'll get a raise then (hehe I hope so)... but I'll probably have my NOA2 by then anyway... so... I may as well get the letter now, I guess? Especially in case it takes them a week or two to actually print and sign it for me? Or would the date on it be too early? Is there anything else the letter should say? Do I have to specify for it to be on company letterhead? Thanks! raise? thank god! i am so proud of you. lol illegal people in USA can never think of a raise	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2006-12-10 22:10:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Got to take my leave	We sold the house last year and now the new people are ready for moving in. We are renting a house on a month to month basis but there is no telephone connection and so I will not be able to get on the internet as much as I normally do, so will not be able to keep a check on things in here. I will be using a friends computer once a week or so, just so I can keep an eye on the list and to see when we get the case complete. I just hope it is not too long as just about everything we have is going into storage apart from a bed and 2 sofa's, our tv, which we are not taking to the states anyway and some of our clothes. It is not going to be much fun living like that but we have no option at the moment. It was a risk we had to take, selling the house, with the market the way it has been in the UK for quite a while we could not risk not selling in time. Push comes to shove and Alan gets a denial, we will just have to buy a new house here We are of course praying that that does not have to happen. it has been and still is a stressful time for us and having to move into another house rather than be moving to the states is definitely not helping, but we will cope no option have we Anyway, just wanted to let you good people know why I would not be on here as much and to say that as soon as I find out we are case complete I will get back on here somehow and let you all know. Take care Sweetie, will be routing for you and for everyone else who is waiting for the waiver Val and Alan Hi Val and Alan OMG I am so sorry that I can't talk with you nomore everyday. Wonder how I can contact you if something should happen. But I can tell that I did the same for 1 year ago and now only live in a 1 room apartment with a little kitchen. A shower cabin next to my bed and toilet at the outsite hall. I don't have any furnitures only a little sofa, coffeetable, a double bed, my tv and my pc with internet connection. Just to save up I did this. There will be a while in US where I am not allow to work. I am use to work everyday and still do. Don't like if I cant support with my part to start up a new life together with Mike. At least you will check once in a while at VJ Thankyou so much for your attention to me Val. Anette Ok to correct my sayings it's actually since April 2005 I sold out everything and from May same year I was homeless until this little apartment from September 2005 which I live in now. I still survive Anette hey how do you actually become a homeless if you're a f us citizen goddamnit? i'm an illegal alien and i have never been one. pls explain	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-18 00:20:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	visa denied 01-16	So sorry to hear but hang in there, I hope that now she will be approved with all the extra information! listen! don't despair okay? everything's gonna be alright. find a competent lawyer. at least you had someone kind enough to marry and bring you to the dreamland whereas nobody will ever file anything for me ever. i just don't have anybody to ask for help. dont take your marriage to the USC for granted! nowadays they won't marry even in exchange of huge amount of money!	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-20 23:37:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	visa denied 01-16	Barry, I am very sorry to hear of your situation! And I realy understand how your girl feels... Spam them with the e-mails and send them all of your photographs. Looks like it is never "too much" of proof. My girlfriend, who i am gonna marry in february doesn't have a laptop/desktop. I can't email her. She is in VT and I'm in NY and I'm an illegal alien. What am i supposed to do now?	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-16 23:41:00
Africa: Sub-Saharan	long distance relationship	P.S. I have never relied on a woman to visit any country. That would be simply too lame. If you are a man, then be it. It's easy to be a woman, but not a man. If you are a real man, be strong enough to stay on your own and achieve your goals by relying on your own power, education, money and wit. Falling in love with a woman in the internet and acting like 'oh my god I'm in Nigeria and you're in the US and I love you so much and I will kill myself to satisfy you' while thinking to yourself 'oh if she falls for it and comes to Nigeria and helps me flee from this hell I would be so grateful damn' is the most lamest thing you could ever do! Most of the times you will not be successful.	cessna_inspiron	Male	Bangladesh	2007-01-09 18:55:00
