Mark + Melissa reacted to djv-tco in Same Sex Fiance Visa
The first two replies are a bit misleading. You asked if your fiancée can petition you if she lives in a state where same-sex marriage is not legal - the answer is YES. Your fiancée can file an I-129F petition as long as you two marry within 90 days of entering the USA on a K-1 Visa in a state where same-sex marriage is legal.
As for process, just follow the same K-1 Visa guide and tips here on VJ and you'll be good to go. Use the Google Custom Search at the top right hand corner of this page.
Good luck!

Mark + Melissa got a reaction from rlogan in dragging feet to come to the US
Not knowing your history, I'm afraid that it sounds like you may have married too soon before knowing his priorities, culture and personal believes. Are you sure this is the behavior you want to put up with for the rest of your married life together?

Mark + Melissa reacted to Ivy. in Lawyer says to delete Facebook entirely...is that really necessary?
I think your lawyer is paranoid. I do not see how Facebook can be used against your case. Actually, many people use print screens of their Facebook interactions as proof of relationship.
I would ignore this particular advice and carefully think about any other ideas this lawyer might have in the future.
Good luck with your case.

People stop confusing the OP,
They are waiting to submit the last documents, i.e PC, and etc. Husband will need his passport for the interview, which he doesn't have yet because husband is dragging his feet. Hubby probably knows more about the immigration process than those who are questioning the OP. He is waiting on the 2 year marriage mark, he knows he will get a 10 year GC when he enters the US.
It looks as if hubby has a plan, which in the end maynot be including you. You have been given plenty of advise and opinions on your previous post. The ball is in your court, only you can play the ending of this.
Good luck.

Mark + Melissa got a reaction from TnJ in RFE to show we met in person. HELP!
They are actually asking how did you two meet the very first time. WAs it over the Internet, through a friend, blind date.. how did you first discover each other?

Mark + Melissa reacted to dstrausser83 in Incompetent Staff
I do not want to sound judgemental, but about 3 weeks ago, the Embassy was stormed, flag torn down, and replaced with an Al-Qaeda Flag... I understand that it wasn't you, but I'm sure that is part of the reason they are the way they are. It's a hostile environment with the hostility coming from both sides.
On a further note, I believe what happened to your husband was a absurd. I would be very upset if that happened to us. I wish you all the best.

You haven't finished high school, and neither one of you can support yourselves, let alone the other person and any children that may come around. Please consider waiting. If the relationship is meant to b at so young an age, it will survive until you are both in better positions.

Mark + Melissa reacted to C-ma'am in got my RFE ..and i need some help to what they want from me
Yes. They need to match the stamps to the passport holders; so copy ALL pages of your passport and ALL pages of hers, and send them back.

Look i've thought of everything. She can't come study in my country as we have no big Universities and if i study in the US it costs alot of money which again i do not have. We made a deal we'll meet when we both make a bit of money and then we'll see what to do. Thanks for all the answers i appreciate it.

Mark + Melissa reacted to X Factor in Do relationships survive this?
Get the book "Culture Shock USA". It is available on Amazon.com for under $10 and will help the immigrating spouse get an idea of what to expect. Very informative.

Mark + Melissa reacted to elmcitymaven in Divorcing my wife
So you're wife's been here for all of three months and she doesn't have a job yet? Divorce that slacker.
Seriously, when I was a new and very young bride, trying to make my way in a foreign country, with no friends and no immediate family but my husband, I freaked out. A lot. I often thought, "I left all that behind for this -- to live in a country where people make fun of my accent, where I am always the last one to get the joke, the one who had to and has to compromise all the time?" And I'd get angry and say spiteful things like, "I wish I'd never come here" and "I want to go home." I'd pack my bags and call my parents and say that was it.
But I didn't leave. Why? I had a husband whom I loved, and who loved me, and who listened to why I felt so desperate. It was never about him, it was about feeling powerless in a situation that I willingly entered because I loved him. I remembered I had vowed to stay with him and support him in good times and in bad. Ours was no great love story, a pretty average transnational romance that ended after ten mostly happy years due to us just growing up and wanting different things in life. But what we were very good at doing was listening to each other and really trying to understand what was going on underneath frustration. It was part of our vows. Did you not make similar vows?
It's one thing if someone is being abusive -- emotionally, physically or otherwise -- and another if that person feels lost, powerless, confused. In the former case, leaving is obviously the right thing to do. In the latter, the relationship can often be saved. This goes for either sex, lest someone accuse me of naturally siding with a woman here. The immigrant spouse is going to take a while to get accustomed to his or her new environment. It isn't plug and play. I would encourage you to seek counselling if things "just aren't working out" before you walk away from a marriage.
While writing this, my boyfriend asked me what I was posting about and I told him. He's Korean-American, and he suggested (as did Mr Smiley above) that your wife reach out to the Korean community in your town. Do you live anywhere near LA by any chance? There's gigantic Korean community here if you live within driving distance. He was also shocked that anyone could complain about an immigrant spouse (whose first language is almost certainly not English) not having a job after three months when there are so many native speakers who have been unemployed for many months in this environment.
In any event, he and I both wish the OP and his wife the best and hope they at least work a little harder to try to make this relationship work. Better to put the work in now and realise it can't be saved than to regret not doing so.

They did NOT close the embassy in Yemen. Just Sudan and Tunisia. There are, however, 50+ US Marines stationed there to boost security. And the protests that took place in Sanaa have been blown way out of proportion. Many of the protesters were high school and even elementary school aged kids. Look at the photos and you'll see mostly teenagers. They burned some tires and tried to climb the outer-most fence so the security forces shot at them. In my opinion the Yemeni security forces acted very professionally and contained the situation. Saturday was calm.
