biggish data

I just want to point out that exposing oneself on webcam for money might be considered a "crime of moral turpitude" as it relates to visa issuance. Beneficiaries will be denied visas if they are convicted of such crimes or admitted to them under oath.

See 9 FAM 40.21 N2.3-3
http://foia.state.go...m/0940021aN.pdf

That depends on whether it is illegal or not, actually, and is a very valid point. In the US, while such practices as cam shows/creating pornography on the web are VERY, VERY heavily regulated, they are not illegal. However this might be different in the country the beneficiary is from.

I went back and can't see where the OP stated anything about a second convo. Did I miss that?

Or did he just go back for a second show?

'k Gwen. I got the cast list. I just think we have somebody playing a dual part and he's PO'd cause he got caught.

He is engaged to the filipina fiance's sister.

not that the american fiancee should be unfaithful but maybe he misses being with a women so cam sex is a release for him.

So it's okay for a man to view a cam show, just not for a woman to give one or she is a "cyber-prostitute"?

Hooray, double standard.

How much time between NOA2 and interview

Thanks a lot!

I had never gone to portals before. It looks like roughly 2 months and maybe up to 4 months, assuming all goes well and according to schedule.

have you studied the timelines IN YER PORTAL ?

Click the word 'PORTAL', above, then once it loads.

train yer eyeballs left and down, find the timeline section IN yer portal
and then
study the CR-1/IR-1 thingie.

Good Luck !

NVC Gives us SECOND RFE!!

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss....

Yep but I have to admit that the RFE came at the right time because the wifes side of family was in chaos. Mother in law health took a turn for the worst and wife was only person there to care for her. We didn't need to be focused at that point on the paperwork but on caring ensuring mother in law was comfortable in her last days on this earth. Life showed us once again to not be obsessed with trivial things but to enjoy the real things we have. So I'm not worried about the RFE it will take care of itself. It's not putting all focus on this process. Not worrying about when the paperwork is going to be processed. She buried her last parent and it put everything back into prospective on whats important and to take life as it is and to stop rushing what we don't control. it's not when she will come to be here, but that she will be here with me when the time is right and not a second earlier than that.

NVC Gives us SECOND RFE!!

Gosh I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope things will get worked out soon for you...

I'm so upset right now. I think the NVC is clearly handing out RFE's to stall the process. First they gave us an RFE because my wife listed all the addresses she lived since age 16, when they just wanted one address for a 6month period instead of multiple. Although they got the same information they sent it back. We call today and they tell us, my wifes Birth Certificate wasn't accepted. When My wife asked why, the person says she isn't sure. We spoke to a supervisor who than said it is most likely an error on their part. She said they don't know why it wasn't accepted but asked my wife, if it was the large Birth Certificate, which is printed on currency paper, with an official seal. My wife of course upset said YES OF COURSE IT IS!. She said was it properly scanned showing all border. My wife again upset said OF COURSE IT IS!. Im looking at it right now!. Supervisor said well Ill have to send an inquiry over to that group. It can take 10-12 business days before we can tell you why it wasn't accepted. She than proceeded to say, if all you say is true. They could of been having computer issues and downloaded the document wrong. How the hell does that happen in the 21st century? In this technological age, they downloaded the document wrong and so we get RFE'd? How is this even fair. These RFE's are bogus and BS. I just don't get whats going on with NVC right now. How can the people picking up the phone there have no clue or be unable to give us even any hint as to why it wasn't accepted or even know whats happening with our file. Now they are guessing what could be problem not giving us a clear shot answer.. Frustration is an under statement for how I am feeling right now.

Any Suggestions?

Sending Pictures with I-130 Petition

I put mine in divided photo sheets with writing on the back of them so all they had to do was turn them around and read them, without taking them out.

Hi VJ, did I tell you that I love you lately?

Question:

Is it best to put all the pictures in a ziplock bag with the dates written on the back of each photo, or should I put them in a photo sheet protector so that each picture can be viewed individually without having tot take them out?

thanks in advance for your experience/thoughts!

need advice / dont trust my husband anymore

Hello..the first thing I want to say is that I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

You have been given a lot of good advice here. My suggestion is to forget trying to call the ex in NY because I think it will be a waste of time. If something happened or is going on with her and your husband, chances are really good she is not going to be honest with you. If on the chance he is planning to come here and be with her, she is defiinitely not going to be honest with you. And if you ask your husband for her phone number she will probably already be forewarned and maybe prepped on what to say before you call.......

In my opinion, he talking to her in the U.S. without telling you is suspicious, and even if it's innocent, it's wrong. If he told you he had a friend in the states that he wanted to keep in touch with and you were ok with that, that is one thing. But to be calling her when you have no idea about it, is another thing. I also wonder about the three days in NY, did he say why he stayed there instead of catching his plane?

In my opinion, there are too many questions, too many suspicions, and you said there are even more. You are questioning his honesty and faithfulness to you. Those are HUGE factors in a relationship......without them, there isn't anything left. A person can't love someone and be dishonest and unfaithful to them at the same time.

One of my suggestions to you is the same as a few other people here....tell him you are thinking seriously about moving there with him, come up with some reasons that you would like to do that. See what kind of reaction he has to that. If he comes up with every reason in the book why you shouldn't do that, I wouldn't go any further with him (just my opinion)......Just keep in mind that if he is being dishonest with you about the other woman, then what else is he capable of? Signing the I-864 carries ALOT of financial responsibility, for many years............Supporting someone that you're not even with would be a nightmare, in my opinion. You have time right now, take this time and try to figure things out. You can pull the plug on the petition anytime if that's what you choose to do. My best to you and good luck in whatever you do.quote name='maria67' timestamp='1296653194' post='4448429']

hi all

im so hapy i found this forum because can get maybe your opinion about my case!

Im US citizen and recently got married. My husband is from brasil but temporary live in australia.

We sent our I-130 / cr1 in august last year and waiting for it to be approved.

My hubby is nice person,every day is sending me messages about our love and saying how he can not live without me!

Recently,my australian friend who works with him told me he saw him talking on the phone with someone in US and it was not me.

I dont want to go into details now but found out that my hubby's ex.girlfriend lives in NY and he visited her last year,1 month before our wedding date.

He acctualy came to visit me here in US but i know he stayed in NY 3 more days, instead just changing the plane.

I talked to him recently about it, he admited his ex live in NY but hes saying they are just friends now and i should not worry.

There are also some other indications about him keeping in touch with his ex.

Now i am so worried, i love him,but im very suspicious now he want me to use just to get into US and then leave me.

I know that i have to submit affidavit of support soon and after he gets to US im responsabile for him. But what if he leave me after comming here and accuse me for something and then go to live with his ex?
Will i still be financally responsabile for him?

He is going back to brasil soon and he is asking me to send him statement from my friends saying our marriege is in bona fide. I asked him why he needs it he said he will need it to show at interview in US ambassy.
Im just worry that he wants it so once gets into US he can prove he entered into marriage in bona fide.

Maybe im just paranoid about all of this,i love him very much, but there are some strong indications (i have not listed them all here) that im not only person he loves.

any advice?

I called and talked to someone that was very helpful but didn't know anything other than that a document was mailed on January 28th. He couldn't see in the system what the document was that was mailed, and said since we have already been approved and our case is at NVC then maybe it's just a duplicate NOA2 or something.....he really didn't know. So I guess we just wait to find out what it is. :huh:

I think you are right to be confused. I'd advise that you contact USCIS and make some enquires. Your case might be getting mixed up with someone else's. Yes they do have their generic letters, but it would relate to your case. Getting the text you described when you are at NVC is out of the norm for IR1/CR1.

I just saw this part: Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

I'm completely confused.....

I tried to edit and it wouldn't let me, but there is also this:

This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole). Applications will be in this step from the time the order to produce the card/document is given until the card/document is produced and mailed to the applicant. You can expect to receive your card/document within 30 days of the approval of your application.

If you do not receive your document, please contact our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results
listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current
processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

*Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov under Check Processing Times.

Maybe this is just a normal part of the USCIS process??

Is this enough Bonifide marriage evidence?

There have actually been several people that got the same RFE, filing for beneficiaries in Morocco and Egypt, that I know of. Those are just the ones that I know of, there may be more from other countries, including Pakistan. If you haven't already sent in your documents, I would load it with more proof of your relationship, including letters of affidavits from his family.

Sounds like a unique situation. When people claim to have lived together in the same country, they do tend to ask for more sometimes. Usually there are specific red flags to address when this happens, so no generalized one size fits all answer to this.

Is this enough Bonifide marriage evidence?

It wasn't enough for me, and I sent more than that. But once I responded to the RFE with a ton of more evidence that they asked for, they approved us very quickly.

Pakistan is definitely a high fraud country but she's got enough for the petition filing stage.

Check to see if Pakistan is a high fraud country. If it is, you need much more than that. If it isn't, you're probably good to go.

Yes I did my homework this time, Pushark, before you ask.

Me and my husband don't have any joint properties or bank accounts or anything as I didn't live in my husband's country for more than 2 months at a time. For proof, I have photos of us together, phone call records, flight tickets of me visiting, and an affidavit from my mom stating that our relationship is true. Is this enough or do I need more? This is for my I-130.

Today I received an email notice that our I-130 (NOA1 7-7-2010) was being transferred from CSC to The Texas service center. I wonder how many others got the same type notice?
I hope this doesn't start the clock over!
