    Caryh reacted to Harpa Timsah in K-1 Fiance travel question after entering USA   
    She can travel after a bit, but the bigger picture is that family visas exist for family reunification and you will not be in the USA. Might be best to refile in a few years.
    If she lives in the US without you you will have a difficult time proving a bona fide marriage. You would also become unsuitable for the I-864, and you would have to travel back to the US for an AOS interview. If you live apart I would expect you to be called for one.
    It's just going to be an uphill battle if you are not living together as intended.
    Instead, she could come to the US to marry then you both could go to your job overseas, then you could pursue a spousal visa later.

    My sister is spending a week at the Baltic sea.
    So I went to visit her for a weekend.
    Well, for Saturday only to be specific, since I spent one night to travel up there (10 hours by buses and trains!), spent whole Saturday (12 hours) with her, Patrick and Bart, and spent the next night to travel back home (next 10 hours by buses an trains). Gosh! I was SO tired! But it was SOOOO worth it! ANd it was a big surprise for my godson, Patrick, who didn't know a thing about my coming Well, I decided to come on Friday's afternoon, and the trip started on Friday's evening, so it was quite spontaneous

    I just passed on her shared wisdom to my wife this morning.
    Morning report, wake up wife and take temp, which is only .01 degree different from it has been for the last 4 days, staying above the halfway mark on the FF app chart. Again this reporter wishes we had started charting earlier. Help wife out of bed and she takes two steps and starts retching and runs to the bathroom. This reporter was no brave enough to enter that field and see the results. Spouse showers and gets dressed then proceeds to primp in the mirror. Intrepid reporter showers and dresses, and wife is still primping in mirror while announcing she's sure she feels like she'll have her period today. This is the 10th morning the wife has reported such with no sign external sign that is will be true. This reporter points out she has announced this every morning for the past 10 days, as he has pointed out for at least the last 5 days, and the wife moves on to step two of claiming she is serious this time, as she has also claimed seriousness the last 5 days. The reporter just laughs and sips more coffee. Wife finishes primping for the moment, grabs this reporters cell and opens FF app and starts demanding the reporter answer questions based on a weeks worth of charting on what her fertility or pregnant status is and when her period will come. Wife does not want to accept that with just over a weeks worth of temp charting, its impossible to know. Wife is now grumpy and assuming this reporter is an idiot for not knowing

    Caryh reacted to iwannaplay54 in Removing conditions, LPR out of country longterm, divorce waiver pending   
    It is not you who has to set up and provide an address for USCIS (or anyone / anywhere else) it is him. Send a letter in to USCIS with the case number and a copy of the divorce petition, add that you are no longer handling his mail and he no longer lives there and return all of his subsequent mail to sender. Remind him that he alone is responsible for arranging a mailing address with USCIS and filing his own waiver after the divorce has been finalized. It's spelled out in the little package of goodies that came with the green card.
    If he wants to live in the US he needs to come back, pursue his dream, and take care of his status himself. Not your problem anymore. Hate to see things like this happen but when it does the responsibility for continuing through the immigration process is on the shoulders of the immigrant. One thing to not hold a job, quite another to be too lazy to make arrangements to cover your own business.
    All bets are off when it comes to divorce. Including verbal agreements to handle delivery of mail. You should not keep it or open it or destroy it, you should simply return it with a note "no longer lives here", He wants it bad enough, he can track it down and get it himself. Good luck.

    Caryh got a reaction from Cheezees in What to do, fiancee came on K1 visa, now leaving   
    None of which will matter one bit to USCIS, she has no legal path to stay. His case was closed when the visa was issued and used. Had she filed to adjust status after marriage then a new case would have been opened. At the current time there is nothing for him to do. There are no open cases. The only thing open is her I-94 which allows her to legally stay in the USA for 90 days if she marries or not. He didn't marry her, what she does now is up to her and not him. Even if she chooses to stay illegally, he can't force her onto an airplane.

    I understand why you would want to make sure she's gone, if just to know her shadow will never cross you path again. I don't think you'll have too much of a problem seeing her off. My wife had the same home sickness and culture shock when she got here. No sounds, no nosy neighbor heads just popping into the window and saying hi, what are you eating, no people all over as soon as you step out of your door. American life is very isolating compared to life in many Asian countries. As long as she has no support structure to help her stay, she most likely will just fly home. And you certainly have no intent to be her support structure after finding out about the cheating.

    Caryh got a reaction from Harpa Timsah in UK Biometric passport change??   
    It says you need a visa, if you don't have the electronic chip passport and you cannot travel on Esta or visa waiver. You're a resident of the USA, you're not traveling on Esta and you do not need a visa to travel back. So I don't think this should affect you at all. Although its still a good idea to renew your passport for the new biometric passports.

    I'd like to see the proof behind this advice and know who gave this advice. I'm not saying it's not true, between the law and court rulings some pretty strange stuff can be legal even if not moral, but I'd like to see what backs this up.

    Look firebird, I'm a person who fights for keeping a marriage together. I don't often suggest getting out of one, but instead recommend trying and find a way to make it work. Heck I did that for many years in my own first marriage even. But once I was out of that nightmare, I realized what I had put myself through. I wasted a big part of my life, and suffered a lot of pain with deep mental scars I'll always carry. Stay married to her if you really want to try to make it work, but don't stay in the same house with her. Tell her the only way you'll return and not eventually file for divorce is if she accepts she has a problem and gets help. If she can wake up to what she's doing and realize how she's hurting herself as well as everyone around her she might actually get help. Don't fall for the con game of getting suckered back in with promises and fake action. As you're already learning, they can be extremely charming and convincing when they need to be, they had to learn this in order to get along in life, but the anger or fear that drives the destructive side is still sitting there and biding its time to come out. Unless they learn to recognize and keep that under control, it will bite you again and again and again.
    I think my ex finally accepted what was going on inside her and got some help, because one day when I went to pick up my daughter she said she was sorry for everything she had done to hurt me. You could have knocked me over with a feather. That was certainly something she had never said in our marriage, or something she really needed to say once we were divorced. So something had obviously changed within her that she felt she should say that. I hope she has gotten help and can avoid the destructive patterns of her behavior. But I'll never trust her enough to get close enough to find out. Even though my now adult kids still live in her home, I only stop to pick them up and leave, rarely even seeing her when I do.

    You can validate feelings without agreeing with those feelings.
    Your wife feels hurt and says her sister and mother are bad because they didn't invite her
    You respond, I understand you're feeling hurt, and it must make you feel bad not being included. I think I might have felt bad to not be included in something like that with my family. I guess they just weren't thinking. Maybe when you talk to them next, you can ask them to give you a call or text next time they go out like that.
    You challenged her feelings, and basically said she was wrong to have them. People can't control their feelings, what they feel is what they feel, even if you might not feel the same way in that situation. The example above shows empathy and caring for her feelings. Yet you're not agreeing her mother and sister were bad people and you're not challenging her feelings.

    Caryh got a reaction from IcezMan_IcezLady in What did you do while waiting for work permit arrival?   
    When my wife was waiting, and she had worked for many years in her country, she mainly went crazy waiting. There was only so much cleaning, watching tv, and looking on the internet for possible future jobs she could do in a day. I'd drop her off at the mall on my lunch break sometimes, then pick her up after work. I was lucky enough to work close enough to home to be able to spend lunch with her.
    No matter how much I told her she just needs to relax and enjoy the time for now, as it wasn't going to come back once she started working. She kicks herself for not following that advice now. But then it wasn't in her nature to not work.
