It should have no effect. California's budget crisis affects the California state government. Things like the DMV offices, state parks, highway departments, and such.


Unfortunately it is also affecting county governments unsure.gif

I took Claudeth to the social security office after she had been here for two weeks. She received the card in the mail a week later. It seems to work best for us because once she received the EAD she could go to work. If you wait until you are married the social security waitings to get confirmation from the USCIS which could take several weeks.

QUOTE (Cailyn15467 @ Feb 20 2009, 10:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Me and my fiance are very honest people. We are going to say it was "experimentation", which is exactly what it was. His tests would come up negative but we would still be lying, and after a long thought, I'm not sure I could do that.

I have heard so many stories about how people are separated from their loved ones for 3 years, even if they are clearly not a threat. I fully intend on writing to the president about this sort of thing. Our own president has used drugs in the past and see how he turned out? I'm sure he would understand.



It is a difficult decision but one must live with the choices they make in life. I wish you the best in whatever decision you make because you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.

As Goverment office surely timeframes and SLA's would be their priority and which they are measured on?

A few months after i files the I-129F, my fiance in Vietnam gave birth to my baby boy. It has been one month since the baby was born. I already booked an appointment for Consular Report of Birth in 2 months. My fiance going to get a Vietnamese birth certificate for my son. The question is, both of the child parent's name can be on his birth certificate. Should i put mine on there too or i shouldn't? I am thinking it's better to put my name on it. Therefore, on the appointment date, they will see that my name is on the child birth certificate as a father. That will be one of the biggest evidence that i am the father. Which will give me more chances that i don't have to take a DNA test. What do you guys think, please help

ps. i have other evidence such as pictures of my fiance and i were together before , during and after she was pregnant. Will all of the stuff i've mentioned good enough not to take a DNA test?


why would you not have your name put on the bc?

My fiancee I129 F has been approved and it said it will expired in April.. the US embassy in Jakarta received our file. the problem is he needs to get police cert from Germany cause he used to live in Germany and its going to take about a month or two to get the police cert according to Germany embassy... I am afraid we wont have time for the interview... does anybody how can he get an extension for the I 129 so it wont be expire? Does he just go to US embassy and ask for the extension? thank you
I wonder if they can give him a waiver for the police cert? does anybody know? any suggestion?


The US Citizen can request the petition's approval be extended. Just send an email to the Embassy indicating you need a little more time.


Normally, as long as the petition is processing normally the embassy extends the date but I have heard that Jakarta, amoung others, can neglect doing this so it would be wise to request an extension

QUOTE (ThaitoUSA @ Mar 2 2009, 09:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Here is mine:

I, one luck guy, and the sweetest lady first met on Blank, 2004 in Disney. I was a traveling salesman and she was a siren. Sweetie was visiting her brother in Epcott Center when we first became acquainted. We maintained a relationship over the next two years while I lived in Disney and during the subsequent two years I have been in America.

On Blank, 2007, I returned to Disney to spend time Sweetie until Blank, 2007.

During the month of Blank 2007, Sweetie came to America to try clam chowder. I went to visit her in the Magic Kingdom over the weekend of Blank 7 to 9. Sweetie visited me in Neverland during the weekend of Blank 14 through 16.

I returned to Disney from Blank, 2008 until Blank, 2008 to ask for Sweetie's hand in marriage. She accepted and our intention is to wed once she is able to come to America.

Obviously I replaced details with substitutes. I tried to establish the original meeting, as well as having fulfilled the requirement of having met within the past two years. Some folks talk of presenting a timeline for the interview, would something like this suffice, I wonder?
