Thanks guys,, We are going to go by the rules in the book. Get married within the 90 days of the K1 visa (Lets hope it will go smooth). I'm also going to be hiring a lawyer who can help me throughout the process. Make sure I don't make any mistakes. I'd rather pay the money for someone who is experienced and save time, than trying to figure this out myself. We want her over here ASAP. I know it'll be a long and "infernal" process. but we are both commited to doing so.

You probably don't need a lawyer.

Sydney will be nice to deal with. Most people on these forums will be extremely conservative with their advice, but keep in mind most of these people have fiances from non English speaking less developed countries. Most of the Visa-waiver countries are very easy to deal with, because there is very little visa fraud from them.

Ditto the above

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I have a question. I petitioned for my fiance from the Philippines on a fiance visa. We arrived here in Texas on April 15, 2008, and were married April 18, 2008. By the 1st year anniversary, she decided to leave me because we would have arguements. She has left and is with her oldest sister in Arizona. Right now her case is in Adjustment of Status. It was in deportation court because we traveled to California to see other family members in the summer. We were detained at the Border Patrol in El Paso due to not having filed a Conditional Resident Application, which Catholic Services didn’t advise us we had to do. We just recently (January) got out of the deportation proceedings. And the judge transferred the case back to Adjustment of Status court. My question is: WHAT HAPPENS IF I WITHDRAW MY SPONSORSHIP? I don’t what she is doing, and she hardly answers the phone when I call her. Can you please help me. Please email me at txheartbreaker2000@hotmail.com also if you can. Thanks.

You should really start a new thread and not hijack this one.

COME ON SOMEONE I NEED SOME TYPE OF HELP HERE. PLEASE.

Hi-jacking a thread means you post a question in someone elses thread and take over the thread. It is very rude and uncool. As I have stated already in the 2-3 threads you have hi-jacked, withdraw your AOS and move on.

hire a lawyer to save time???? no IT WILL SLOW YOU DOWN!!!

THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE!

That is 100% true. You have to send all the paperwork to the attorney and then they attorney files it with USCIS. So just by the nature of the USPS, it is impossible for a lawyer to speed up the process.

Also, you have to pay them up front, so they really have no incentive to do anything quickly.

I'll say this for the 50th time. If your case is straight-forward, an attorney WILL slow down your case.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

Bringing my old post back on topic.

I've read and read. Looks like I'm stuck with the Income Taxes. I have my tax returns, but I'm not sure if I reached the $18k level. (that's if it hasn't changed) Anyway, I can't even find good info on co-sponsering. Since I'm living with my parents, I'm sure my father will most likely agree to do co-sponser. If someone can nicely explain to me or point me at the right link to it.. it would be great help as I am going to fill out the paperwork soon. Once I figure out if the co-sponser will help. I also found a thread that explains you can combine income, both you and your "fiance". but I'm still stuck with information.

Thanks!

I stumbled upon on the information. Looks like I will be getting a co-sponser and since my father owns a business. Most likely this will pass through. Yay! gonna start on my paper work now...
