KLS2010

In Texas (and several other states, but Texas for sure) the marriage licence, once received and recorded by the local county clerk's office after the marriage has taken place, automagically becomes the marriage certificate. There is no separate document called a marriage certificate in Texas.

*UPDATE*

I sent back a one inch package in response to my RFE that contained nearly every statement for one bank account over a 20mth period, nearly every statement from a second account for 12mths, Tax Return Transcripts for last 3yrs including W2 statements, a couple of facebook messages between me and some of his family.

Package was delived March 17. Today I received this in my email :

Application Type: CRI89 , PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED
Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
On March 24, 2014, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you.

I'm sorry for your situation, but I'm not sure what your point is in posting it in my thread.
If you are trying to imply that my marriage was not in good faith on my behalf, that I was 'faking it', then I respectfully request that you no longer comment in this thread.
All of us here in this forum are aware that many, many people who engage in relationships in order to gain immigration benefits. But I assure you, I am not one of them. I gave up a good job, my family and friends and life in Australia to move here to be with the person I loved. But despite my moving here initially for him, I now have established a new life and friends here.
I merely asked for some suggestions of evidence that I may not have thought of, so that I can hopefully prove to USCIS that I was genuine in my intentions and in my marriage. I've already been through the hurt and distress of the break-up of my marriage... I'm trying to avoid further upheaval in losing my GC and having start a new life AGAIN.

I don't pretend to be an expert either, and it's quite possible the coverage anomaly for low income immigrants is why the OP is having difficulty (particularly as you have firsthand experience with the marketplace system and signing up).
But for what it's worth, my understanding is where lawful immigrants are earning 100% or less of the poverty line and are not eligible for Medicaid (because they have not completed the five year waiting period), they should be eligible for marketplace plans and the premium subsidies (and the reduced out of pocket provisions): https://www.healthcare.gov/what-do-immigrant-families-need-to-know/
based only on my limited understanding of the issue, the coverage gap affects individuals (citizens and lawful immigrants with 5 or more years residency) in states that have not raised the income threshold for Medicaid eligibility to 138% of the poverty line (which was the original intent of the Affordable Care Act). The gap occurs when someone is earning below 100% of the poverty line but is still above the upper limit for Medicaid (which is around 48% in those states). The result is they are not only ineligible for Medicaid but they don't earn enough to qualify for a marketplace plan or the premium subsidies.
I'm sure the OP will be very interested to hear that your husband was able to access the marketplace plans with his EAD.
But I'd also welcome others to comment and hopefully provide greater clarity on the issue in order to assist the OP.

We're really thankful for all the help, and suggestions for documents everyone is giving us.
Four months ago we provided copies of joint health insurance, car insurance, savings accounts, phone bills. In short we provided 'everything' they asked for and we were mindful to follow their request to the letter. We didn't attempt to cut corners or concoct false documents.
So, even though we gave them exactly what they asked for they're now saying that's not good enough. That's the point of our frustration.
So, we're pulling documents of taxes, boarding passes from trips, more phone bills, club memberships, etc. Heck, if I have to I'll send them videos of our home with all of her stuff in the dresser, garage, the shows she watches on the DVR.

I already owned the house before we were married. That means that the utilities were already in my name. We have separate credit cards. We have our own auto insurance.
Having been married before it's just how I've done it. I didn't see any reason why to change. If the government wants to pay for the fees I'll be happy to refinance the house for the sole purpose of putting her name on the deed.

Wow, it only took until post #10 before someone gave an answer to the actual immigration question without adding their own personal opinion of how relationships should work.

Bad idea. It was not his license that was suspended so much as HE as an individual lost his driving privileges. The issue is that he is not allowed to drive for 30 days regardless of which license he carries. He was cited, not his license.
If he gets pulled over by a cop and shows his foreign DL he will also have to present proof of residence by means of his green card or passport. If the car is registered in his name it aggravates the situation even more for the data base will show against which document the registration was issued.
In his case, driving at all outside the permitted route or hours is a violation of his suspension and he may end up facing more severe charges. For all purposes he will be driving while on a suspended license.
In the end he should do what he wants but he may end up making a bad situation that much worse,

hmmm this just reminded me of a moment when my fiance visited me, he had trouble with the language and I had to translate a lot, especially when speaking with shop clerks and waiters taking orders. Not saying that its difficult, we both found it funny that while we speak the same language, we also don't. I actually pride myself on being able to speak several dialects of English; Canadian, New Zealand, Australia and American (thongs, flipflops or jandals anyone? icebox, cooler or chilly bin?).
It just takes getting used to, I met a Canadian girl around 4 years ago who moved to Australia with her boyfriend and for the first 4 months hated it, it was way too different and she wanted to go home, she hated the food, the lifestyle, the people - everything. part of the problem was that she missed her friends and family, so I started hanging out with her more, making an effort to invite her places, she become one of my closest friends and now shes torn between staying and going home.
I guess my point is, it doesn't matter where you are from, or what language you speak - everyone has unique experiences, some people will adapt quickly, like me, but then I've lived in 3 countries 3 already and I love all the differences. Some people will take longer and find it harder. There is no one size fits all approach.

Double post:
Just to everyone here, I really wish we could all be more civil.
If you don't like what someone says, you don't have to attack them or to be condescending! Just ignore them or their comments because by biting back, you become just as bad if not worse than them! AND OR if you HAVE to have a retort, try to be diplomatic in your responses, no need to ever get nasty, this forum is meant to help, not hurt, insult or condescend.

I'm not really from Australia. I'm actually from NZ, but I've lived there for 12 years. I'm stunned reading through this thread, however, here is a possibly helpful unbiased suggestion;
There is quite possibly a similar online community for Australians, but I found an NZ one that connects professional Kiwi's living overseas. for an idea of what I'm talking about, this is the site: http://www.keanewzealand.com/
there are regional portals, there is a register of New Zealander's living in various places and positions in companies that Kiwis have around the world. which equals professional networking opportunities. you register on there so you can network.
there must be something similar for Australians globally too.
another suggestion, a very real conversation with him, perhaps telling him some of what you have said here, might open up some unsaid frustrations.

I really think you need to put yourself in his shoes. There is no way he could have known what life would have been like for him, even if you discussed it a million times!
You wouldn't move for him so at least try to understand why he is unhappy.
There are so many things here in the US which are different and I find myself at times (read: often) complaining and wishing I was home.
No matter what he does, says, doesn't do or doesn't say, he moved for you on your terms and your conditions! He loved you more than he loved himself and risked his happiness. So even if you have to bite your tongue sometimes or redo his resume, nothing you have to put up with is like leaving your family, friends and your life to be transplanted somehwhere seeming almost hostile (from your description at least of his work environment) where you have only 1 friend and know 1 person, no job, etc.
I am not trying to be harsh and I hope I do not come across as such, but coming as an educated person from another first world country may even be a harder adjustment than from a third world or lesser developed country. You expect more and are more dissapointed with the reality of your American situation when it hits.
Again, no matter what, he did this for YOU something you would never have done for him, so that at least deserves some consideration.
----
Edit: maybe ask him what would make him happier, what could he do, what could you do, what could you do together?
If you do this you may have a basis to start from. If he doesn't know, step back, give him time and let him come to his decisions on his own.

Something to think about. Why do you say "never in a million years" would you do what he did? Giving up everything you have and moving abroad, I mean.
I think until you get yourself in a mindset where you would give it all up, you can't possibly comprehend his adjustment cycle.

Thank you believe it or not I found out on Facebook.
She does not know he is married I am sure he is lying to her as well.
All I know is I will not be used or disrespected for all that i have done.
He wants her can have her and yes he still had every intention of coming here
I last spoke with him on Thursday and found out Friday. He still doesn't know that I know yet.

Someone is not telling the truth. Either the attorney or the husband.

I think the obvious thing, at least to me, is that there are some jobs, but OPs Husband feels that they are beneath him. The biggest thing that needs to happen is a reset and for him to understand the impact that it's having on the family. I work on a team here in California where at least 5 members are from out of state (New York, Oklahoma and Florida) and they travel home every weekend. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
PS: With a New Zealand accent I would have thought he woudl make a killing bar-tending.

Comon I was not expecting this from you.... K1 has a legal path for AOS, illegal immigrant have no path.
I would not expect you comparing someone on K1 and someone who entered country illegal.
I can sympathize with the kids who have never seen any other country and US is the country for them, we need to bring them into the society but $465 is free giveaway.
Atleast they should be made to pay same fees CR1 or K1 applicant is made to pay plus a penalty.

$465 ??????
All of the immigrant on here should have their blood boiling.
This is a joke legal immigrant pay several thousand dollars + Affadvit of support and for illegals $465.00

quite the contrary. What Reagan did was wrong and what Obama did was wrong.
THe Big part that is lost on all of you is >>>>>>>Reagan signed a bill into law that was passed by both houses of Congress!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Obama issued a presidential order after a bill failed in Congress.
Can you see the difference ???

A free pass to stay here. Too many people tend to gloss over the fact that they are not here legally to begin with.
These are the types of things that make it so much tougher on the people who come here legally like yourself. Not only does it spur resentment amongst US citizens and immigrants, but it gives reason for people to think they don't have to do things the right way. That in turn leads to more illegals, which leads to stricter immigration laws that hurt the people that aren't breaking the law to begin with.

With this tough economy and very few jobs available, I wonder how many of the folks that are waiting to do things legally will lose jobs to the beneficiaries of this Dream Act.
What visa did these "not really that illegal" immigrants come here on? They did not enter the country legally like one does with a K-1 visa.

Whether they made the choice to come here or not is irrelevant, they are here illegaly, plain and simple. While I can sympathize with them, I do not agree with allowing them to stay here and giving them a free pass. The buck has to stop somewhere.
