Only 2 of 4 divorces by my USC husband were written in my adjustment of status request. These were supported with corresponding divorce papers.

Upon interview, USC husband only remembered 3 of four dissolved marriages when confronted by the IO. IO asked him to provide divorce document, which was then accomplished.

Adjustment of status approved.

For my N-400 application, USC husband does not want me to include 1st of 4 dissolved marriages since he does not have the divorce record, also, it will become CONFLICT to what he stated during the AOS interview. Furthermore, he does not remember the date of marriage, date of dissolution but is able to remember the ex-wife's name, and the state he got married. He has already forgotten his unhappy past, that's why.

Help! Please tell me what to do.

What exactly was this military school?

Ie did you just wear a uniform and do drills, or did you learn how to shoot, were you officially part of the military?

Philippine Military Academy, the Cadet Corp Armed Forces of the Philippines, was the military school I got into. I learned how to shoot the M-14 and M-16 rifles.

Was your denial a good idea? Was lying to the US government a good idea?

I'm going to go ahead and say no, it wasn't a good idea.

Did you have weapons training?

Good luck

Yes, I had weapons training. Please see below the list of descriptive title of courses I took up when I was in the military school. One of them was weapons training.

Canadian wife, please tell me what to do? I need your help.

Sometime when I was 18 years old I attended a premiere military school in Asia but I resigned for the good of the service after four months of training when I was found cheating in academics. I did not divulge this in my adjustment application process at age 34 from being a tourist to a resident by virtue of being married to a US citizen. I marked "no" anything that involved in military stuff like military training, weapons training, etc. Luckily my application was granted in 2011. In the middle of 2013 I will have to lift my condition as conditional resident. Was my denial of military training the right thing to do? What if I plan to pursue a career in US military later on; will it be a red flag? I need help please.

Here is the list of descriptive title of the courses I had taken during the summer term when I was there in the Philippine Military Academy:

1. Aptitude for the Service 1, 1 credited unit

2. Basic Military Knowledge, 2 credited units

3. Basic Unit Training, 2 credited units

4. Individual Combat Skills, 2 credited units

5. Military Science Laboratory, 3 credited units

6. Weapons and Markmasnhip Training, 2 credited units

It is clear to me now that lifting of condition does not have anything to do with medical at all. Thanks for your quick response, inky and sjr09.

Hi, I already completed the preventative treatment for latent TB. Next year I am bound to lift my conditional residency to permanent residency status. Should I see my doctor and have him sign a paperwork that says I am finished with my treatment? Will I turn in the paperwork when I file for my lifting of condition?

Now that I have my EAD, I keep looking for jobs here in Phoenix, AZ. A friend tells me that an alien hunting for jobs in AZ is discriminated especially if this person has an Asian race. My first interview for a QA position was this morning. I did not feel any discrimination at all. My friend further explains that the interviewer does not show it to the interviewee. Only then one can find out after everybody has been interviewed. Qualification is determined not by the skills but by the color of the skin. Whoever can shed light to such predicament will be very much appreciated. Yogi Bear

Hello, Emmy! I am preparing to adjust my status from B2, too, however, I cannot help you about giving tips during interview. All I can say is that do not be scared. You will be alright. You are doing the legal thing.

I can't believe this. I am allowed to adjust my status here according to the immigration officer. There is no need of returning to my home country neither fear of being deported.

Thank you, Scott, for your quick reply. My hubby and I will see an immigration officer tomorrow to iron things out. I will get back to this posting afterwards.

My USC hubby, a visiting consultant, and I, then a supervisor, first met at a site inspection of my local processing plant on Apr 2009 . He came back on Oct 2009 and stayed for few weeks doing consulting jobs and pursued my heart on the side. He left his US company on Jan 2010 when recession became tough and decided to venture as a full time consultant in a local company he had been working for. Furthermore, he wanted to deepen our relationship by being with me everyday. We would have wanted to get married in a church, however, the church has been stringent with documents. Eventually his boss and my hubby did not get along well in business deals; initial agreement was breached by the boss. Having a B1/B2 visa beforehand, my husband and I packed our things and left for US on Sep 2010. We got married on Oct 2010. He got a new job this year.

I just learned that Direct Consular Filing (DCF) is allowed in Manila, Philippines. It is granted foremost to USC spouse who has lived there for more than 6 months. For this matter, my hubby just did it.

My questions are:

1. Does the Phil. Bureau of Immigration allow if I apply residency for my husband while he stays in US? I know that acquiring a legal resident status is a proof that he complied the 6 month residency requirement.

2. Can he apply DCF for me at the USE Manila by just mailing the requirements assuming that he will be granted a Phil. immigrant visa? He cannot file a leave yet because he just got a new job.

3. His 2010 income seems to be below the 125% x poverty guideline since most of the time he was out of the country and did only odd jobs. However, his previous incomes in 2009 and 2008 are way above the threshold. Does his latest low income tax return affect his petition even though he has a good job now?

Our first option is for him to process CR1 here when I go back home on March 2011. However, the process will take 9 months; too long for us to be apart from each other.
