Congrats Shrwedgal!!!

I think Nicole is busy with her hands in the air.
If you didn't hear, her bank got robbed a second time about a week ago.
Hang in there Nicole.


LOL Hands in the air!!! We have 2 security guards now... so it is a little more safe...

I am saving up for the $400 visa fee bill, I also have a second interview for a job in San Diego, CA So I think we are going to live in Tijuana together until this immigration ####### is over. We have been seperated for over a year and who knows how long until he can come here. Since we have to file the waivers and all... I am happy I am so ready to be with him again... together...

Damn Nicole..sad.gif You're telling me you'll be posting on this forum for another year..?

Brutal.


I'll do whatever it takes... What is even more brutal is the fact our government makes it so difficult for me to be with my husband. Brittany Spears can marry and divorce whoever and whenever she wants but I am constantly having to prove my relationship with one person with showing that I am a US Citizen with rights that are being denied because I happen to fall in love with a non-US citizen...

Sorry... it has been a bad couple of months...

Congrats to all the recently reunited couples!!

CHD is correct. You can't just put your case on hold. If there is no action within a certain period (I believe it's a year) your petition will be terminated.
If you really can't find a decent lawyer, PM me and I'll give you the names of 2 immigration attorneys I actually would trust to give out their names.


You are correct about that... partially... I can keep in contact with NVC and our case will stay active as long as there is contact every year. I plan on moving for the moment and I will look for a good attorney to help us... if they think that we should move on, then I will move forward with the case. I am out thousands of dollars already from this so I don't want to spend it all over again until I hear good sound advice from an experienced attorney. This has been a very difficult decision to make, and I appreciate all your thoughts and concerns, it truely means the world to me. No one in my family of circle of friends have any idea what kind of toll this takes on you, so it is always nice to come here and share and vent.

Thank you all for listening!

Nicole, since nobody in the world can probably tell you what the US will do, wouldn't it make more sense for you to continue with the process to *see* if he does indeed have a ban? Yes, you could lose money, but wouldn't it be a worthwhile investment? It seems to me getting a definitive answer from the US government would be a stronger answer than any lawyer could give you.

You're so close, just go for it.

The alternative plan sounds fine -- do you have to do anything to move to Mexico?

But finish this process. What's the worst thing they can say? No, right?

Or is there some additional punishment that could occur for trying and being turned down?



If we continue and we are denied for 10 years, we have to file a whole new I-130 and everything and who knows how long they will take to process at that time. At least if we hold off where we are now, the wait should only be a few months from when we start it up again.

hey all... just wanted to give an update... my husband and I are planning to move to Tijuana, Mexico and wait out the 9 years before we can continue this process. I will commute to the US and work in San Diego. I have a job interview coming up and have been looking on Craigs list for apartments to rent. I have also applied for the SENTRI card which will allow me to get through the border faster.

i guess I missed something blink.gif I see you're timeline and it looks like you're almost done???


It is very likey that my husband has a lifetime ban with the possibility of a waiver after 10 years outside the USA. The laws are very shady and I want to find an experienced attorney in the matter, but no one in my area has that expertise. So we are going to just put our case on hold for the next 9 years and then continue it then.

I am not sure where you live but there is a really really good immigration attorney in dallas. She even comes on the radio and does an immigration show for an hour and people call and ask questions. You can also email her and ask her a question and she is good about replying back. Here is her website address it has her phone and email on there. I would definetely try it out with her. http://www.kinserlawoffice.com/



Thanks for the info choochoo, I will have to check her out. I am from Ohio so I cannot hear the radio station, but I will try and e-mail her.

I don't have any updates to give. I have been calling immigration attorneys for 2 weeks now and no one knows the system for waivers and such. It is sad when you go into an attorneys office and you know more about it than they do. I am going to start searching out of state for a good sttorney.

It is funny how many people think that if a USC marries a foreigner that the new spouse can just come and live w/no problem. Clueless these folks are. If it were easy, why would there be so many illegals here? They'd just do it legally.



LOL don't get me started on that... people can be VERY clueless... Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or get angry when someone says something to the effect of "Your married now, so he's a citizen right?" or "why is it taking so long, you are married, doesn't that make him legal?"

I believe all of us have amazing strength and determination. Sometimes I sign on to this board and I am amazed at the stron people on here. Really this place is an encouragement because no one else I know even knows how to relate to our situation. But here, there are tons of people who know exactly how to respond and know the fears I have.

My husband has been gone for 11 months. It is so hard to adjust to that. We have been together for 5 years and then one day, he is gone. He is in Mexico right now, no where even near the border. I have seen him once in December 2007 for 5 days and Once in July 2008 for 19 days. There is no possiblity to see him for another 6 months or so. I call him every other day using a phone card. There are so many things that happen that I wish he could be here for, like my sister passing in March, he never got to pay his last respects, going to places where we used to go all the time, it makes my heart hurt. I don't know of any other way to describe it. I cry a lot when I am alone, and put on a brave face around everyone else. Just know that you and your spouse can come through this, probably stronger than you were before.

All relationships are difficult, but when you put the different cultures, different languages, and long distance relationship all together, it is extemely difficult. But just remember, that your spouse is worth it. Love them unconditionally, even through patience in this immigration process is strained. My motto lately is: "You can give me a million reasons I should not have to go through this, and I can give you a million reasons why I am proud to do it"

I'm now paranoid that I didn't send in DS-230 pt 2 (unsigned).
So I think I'm gonna send it from here tomorrow.


Yup, got my new PCC without any hassle. Just walked in, filled out a 30-second form, handed over photo ID, explained it has to include both spellings of my first name, smiled for a photograph, and walked out 10 minutes later with the certificate. It was couriered to the NVC 15 minutes later. I think I had the wrong 'ATTN' on the envelope though...I vaguely recall something about different initials for RFE's...but oh well. May delay it by maybe a day to get to the right person. as long as it gets in the building I'm happy. smile.gif

yes, the same thing happened to me. We received the e-mail telling us the Agent (me) was assigned. Then the IV bill was available. You are movin' MsZ!!



Dear Platinum Member:

So are you going to pay your IV today? I remember you said on 19th. You don't mind if I ask question? If you do just tell me.



Oh Mr. Gold Member! LOL

I wish to pay the IV bill, but being poor makes that hard. How sad is it that the bank you work for won't even give you a loan?! whistling.gif But seriously, I am holding off for a week or so, I want to consult with an immigration attorney about our situation. I am not sure if my husband will have a 10 ban or a lifetime ban with a waiver after 10 years. I want to know what the options are. Because if it is the lifetime ban, we plan on holding the paperwork at NVC where it is and then continuing in about 8 years. I will move to Mexico on the border and travel to the US to work. That way we can still be together...

Hi everybody,

I have just passed the Medical Exam in Prague, Czech Republic.

I have all documents ready for the K-3 visa but I want CR-1 visa. My husband has already paid AOS bill and IV bill online and he will send I-864 EZ and DS-230 as soon as NVC finishes processing of these bills.

There is no problem to schedule an interview at the U.S. Embassy in Prague. You call them and you get an interview in about one week. The embassy in Prague isn´t busy cause Czech people don´t want to live in the U.S.
I will wait until my husband sends I-864 EZ and DS-230 to NVC. Then I am going to schedule an interview at the embassy in 3 weeks.

I can always change the K-3 visa interview to CR-1 visa interview.
