A POE is a POE.

Reminds me of a nasty RAP song

this part of this process confuses me when does he get the packet that u can not open? will it say do not open on it?

After the interview and once the Visa has been approved - the beneficiary is sent a package (some countries it's to be picked up by the beneficiary) - inside the package is their passport with the visa inside and another envelope that says "Do Not Open" - this envelope is to be carried on the airplane and given to the CBP officer when clearing the POE.

It contains (for those terribly curious) most of the forms etc that you have sent in to this point (so nothing you haven't already seen before).

ok now I have a question do you have to fly into a POE or can you drive to one, see my fiance is in Mexico and I think it would just be easier to drive there and get him since we only live about 10 hrs away from the border???

No reason why not. Keep in mind that they are most likely are not always prepared to do that sort of thing at border crossings. They may make you wait while they review their procedures. LOL!

So you will drive to the border, park your car in Mexico, walk through Immigration into the US, then what? Leave her sit and then you cross the border again to retrieve your car?

Driving up with a person to be processed in the car may make them sweat a little bit.

I think I would seriously make a phone call and get a better opinion.

Once she is processed, I believe that she will need a I-131 Advance Parole before crossing back into Mexico. Hence, stuck in USA until you marry, file for AOS, and get the advanced parole.

Hi all,

I'm a new poster here, but long time reader.

I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying that my fiance petition had been denied due to lack of signature. I've check over everything 100 times and have found no missing signature. I'm starting to wonder if I confused the original with the photocopy (all look the same to me). Fair enough if this is the case, but the letter doesn't state anything to indicate that the problem is due to the lack of an original signature. It just seem to say there isn't one at all. It also only make reference to the petition or application itself. No mention of specific forms (e.g. G 325a).

What I think I should do is resend the package with a new I 129F form with today's date and a brand new signature. Should I fill out a new G-325A as well though? It never made reference to this form, but I'm paranoid now. It just said 'application or petition'. My fiance isn't here now, so I'm a bit screwed if we have to fill those out again. I tried that 1 800 number, but they were no help.

The anxiety is seriously setting in here as I'm sure it is for many others of you.

read the pinned topic above about how petitions are handled. For a missing signature they do not DENY the petition. You get an RFE. When you get the RFWE you will see exactly what is missing...provide what is missing and get back on track. Do not send anything until you have the RFE in hand. Anything you send without that will only confuse matters.

Hey Gary!

In June 2007 that OP used a credit card to pay off a debt collection agency contracted by USCIS to recover funds due to the overdraft.

DHS/USCIS does not accept credit cards for filing fees.

Please read carefully and THINK before posting suggested links to irrelevant as well as probable credit damaging strategies.

How in the hell will you damage your credit by asking?

I can think of several ways one's credit score will be lowered by performing inquires. Filling up loan applications, i.e. asking to borrow money is one.

Could you please post the credit card payment phone number for the benefit of the readership? The original post is about 2 1/2 years old and it may have changed by now.

I should have mentioned, my wife's first language is Mandarin and that's what we use to communicate as well.

We will be interviewing in Montreal for my wife's CR-1 this month. She has been stressing out about her English. She is worried that her speed in answering questions, incorrect grammars, accents, etc. will make her answers seem less convincing. The fear of not understanding what's asked of her is nerve-wrecking as well. I tried to calm her down but I am hoping any advice or tips you may provide based on your experience on this can ease her nerve a bit.

Any advice or tips? Should we get an interpreter on our side just in case? (I have inquired and Montreal allows us to bring interpreter)

Thank you.

I would be surprised if an interpreter is not available at the Embassy and also if the CO does not speak French. Call them and find out otherwise bring your own. You'll be OK.

Whoops, I wrongfully assumed that she was French Canadian simply because of Quebec. My bad.

she is a poor girl without any financial resources.....

She married an American! Just like winning the Lotto.

Apart from him, what about Igor&Veronika in USA who she was visiting when she met him and got married.

She was visiting us....

And besides we never supported her decision from the very start. Not to mention that she got married behind our backs on a day we were suppose to return from vacation....

If your sister in-law just wants to get divorced and go back to her country, she can ask someone to take care of her court case. Her physical presence is not required, unless the divorce is contested. She can leave tomorrow and you could mail her a signed divorce judgment later on. Now, the more important issue is that her ADHD husband may not be willing to sign her divorce papers. That is a problem. If obtaining his signature is an impossible mission, then you shold look into divorce by publication. It is a complex procedure, but it might work. You sister in-law then would have to say to the court that she does not know where her spouse is, and that instead of serving him with summons, she is going to publish it (for extra $$) in the newspaper of the judge's choice. The only thing is that she would have to do a search with Board of Elections, DMV, and all branches of US Armed Forces and obtain certifciations from all the agencies saying that they have no record of this individual. With that pile of evidence, she may qualify for divorce by publication which will not require his signature.

my thoughts to you, find the way for him to sign her divorce papers. Much easier and cheaper option. If he is mentally incompetent (as one of Igor&Veronika's posts suggests) the court may appoint a person to represent his interests.

I applaud the young woman trying to do the right thing and get a legal dissolution instead of going back to her country and pretend that it never happened.

Not familiar with the laws of their state, but since the marriage was recent, any possibility of getting an annulment instead? or at least starting the papers ASAP to cement a filing date before she leaves, and then follow up with the rest overseas?

she is a poor girl without any financial resources.....

Apart from him, what about Igor&Veronika in USA who she was visiting when she met him and got married.

I posted a few weeks ago about situation my sister in-law got herself into.

In short, she came to US on a visitor visa back in July. Dated for a couple of weeks and married some slick guy against our will and her's better judgment.

She got married on September 28, 2009 to a permanent resident. He didn't file adjustment for her. As of yesterday they are finally apart and she wants somehow to file for divorce before she goes home to her country next week.

The guy looks like had a ADD since 9 year old (Attention deficit disorder) that started show itself off in the last week.

Question is what can she do either to divorce him or annul the marriage given that she is leaving the US next week?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated....

Seems that she has family in the USA that wants to control her life. Did the husband put a gun to her head and force her to marry him?

Since she has plans to go home next week. Let her go home. Make sure she keeps all her boarding passes, receipts and flight schedules. USA does not stamp passports when leaving the country. This may become important evidence later on.

""Because of his mental state and issues he will not just sign the the paperwork for divorce. He call 100s of times a day and sends txt messages...."

Cell phones are great for that. He loves his new wife and wants to talk to her. Apparently she is avoiding him and his txt messages 100's of times a day.

Bill Gates of Microsoft has ADD as well as many other successful people. It is easily managed even as an adult with inexpensive meds.

Obviously there is a big misunderstanding. She's a married girl now, I hope her family will support her regardless of her decisions.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my past post marriage w/o a green card. Your info has been very helpful to my friend and his new up and coming wife to be.

We all our curious to see when his fiancee will get word from USCIS if she will be approved or not.

Does anyone know how long this petition takes to be approved? We have heard 6 months up to 18 months. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Time lines listed here are reasonably accurate:

My husband was denied his AOS due to a past criminal record (possession of a controlled substance when he was 18). Apparrently there is a new law that gives applicants only a few weeks to file a waiver after their AOS denial. We hired an attorney to help with this process, however this time around I am not clear as to how the process actually works. I know there is a long waiting period, but is there an interview? Can someone give me an idea of what to expect and what the present wait is? We are filing next week, in the U.S. Thanks for the help.

Thirty days, from what I remember, but if there is a new law, well? I believe it would be an I-601 Waiver.

Work with your attorney. Get his butt in gear and file for an extension. Things will work out in due course.

Profanity is a crutch for conversational cripples.

The Devil you say, si man! As a sobering thought, what about the use of antifanity?

Dunno, but quadfanity is a building with four apartments.

Nut,

return to previous life is rarely possible (housing - sold to pay for immigration, children born, jobs and opportunities given up). It costs a LOT to go back to life as it was, and who's going to pay that bill? If justice is what you want, oblige the USC to split the cost. Then watch how many couples will stay married on paper just to avoid consequences of such law.

Otherwise, sure, just let the USCs to run the mail-in bride scam, use them aliens for two years and send them aliens back with nothing but clothes on their back. Children kept by the USC, if wanted, of course.

Marriage is a ####### shoot, 50% success. Be lucky that you found out NOW so that you may return to your previous life with the experience and knowledge that you gave gained from your experience. You are entitled to very little, if not nothing at all.

You rolled the dice against 50% odds, you lost. Stop your crying, take it like a man and continue on with your life, as it was, prior to this mistake. You are not the only one who has suffered such a disappointment, nor will you be the last.

Rika,

Two different people from different cultures meet each other, fall in love/lust, and/or recognize an opportunity to fulfill themselves by accepting a notion of commitment, and marriage, relative to the standards of their own individual expectations and cultures, for better or for worse, and happy ever after. Good luck.

Opposites attract as per the laws of physics. However domestically, each need to compromise and tolerate the differences of the cultures with the love and acceptance which comprised their wedding vows. No scientific formula is applicable to this "science", hence as dependable and as risky as any other wager of substantial significance and magnitude.

What happened to personal responsibility? You may be familiar with the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket." In this day and age it is both impractical and foolish to do so without reserving somewhat of a safety net to fall back upon. As pessimistic as it may seem, the only person whom you can really depend on is yourself. There are no guarantees in life with the exception of paying taxes and dying.

Every time you step out of your home you are taking a risk. Bravo to those of adventure!

It would be truly sad to learn that an intending immigrant had no choice but to sell their own house so that their USC fiancee could pay the fees for their immigration costs. Please tell me it wasn't so.

Nobody "wins" in a divorce. Both parties are losers. The family courts have the responsibility to ensure the equitable division of marital property and if necessary, award payment by one spouse to the other for future support for a given period of time for the purpose of re-education and/or day to day living until they are able to stand on their own.

Back to personal responsibility, marriage is not a guarantee with a 50,000 mile warranty, it is a risk. People change drastically every seven years on average. Moreover, marriage takes a lot of work, some decide to quit that job and move on. That's life, you cant change anyone but yourself and that's where compromise steps in, how much are you willing to bend to make the relationship work 50% of those married have made that decision.

The disposable mail order bride situation was addressed by the implementation of IMBRA in March 2006. Still, the majority of premeditated green card fraud comes from the Eastern block, Russia, for example.

The immigrant is as responsible for knowing their USA petitioner prior to contracting marriage as well as the USC is to know their Petitioner.

The family courts ensure that both parties in marital termination proceedings have had the opportunity to to have an attorney represent them in court, and if not so desired, i.e. pro se, a signed waiver of council is executed. This includes immigrants and citizens both.

Bad things really do happen to good people. But bad people get what they deserve in the long run.

Hang in there

Let's pray for our country - let's start change with ourselves.

Subject: THE ONLY HOPE FOR OUR BELOVED PHILIPPINES

THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINES

by Father James Reuter, S.J.

By her own admission, GMA (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) rightfully assessed that over the last decades; our republic has become one of the weakest, steadily left behind by its more progressive neighbors.' Forty years ago, we were only second to Japan in economic stature, and way ahead of Singapore , Hong Kong , Malaysia , and Thailand . Today, at our present growth rate, it will take us 30 years to get to where Thailand is.

1.. A population of 160 Million;

2. Of those, 70 to 90 million (equivalent to our current population) will live below the poverty line;

3. Our national debt is estimated to be at US$200B (compared to US$28B when Marcos fled, and US$53B today);

4... We will be competing, not against Thailand or even Vietnam , but against Bangladesh ;

5. We will be the most corrupt nation in Asia , if not in the world (we're already ranked 11th most corrupt nation by Transparency International) ..

The signs are clear. Our nation is headed towards an irreversible path of economic decline and moral decadence. It is not for lack of effort. We've seen many men and women of integrity in and out of government, NGOs, church groups & people's organization devote themselves to the task of nation-building, often times against insurmountable odds.

But not even two people's revolutions, bloodless as they may be, have made a dent in reversing this trend. At best, we have moved one step forward, but three steps backward.

We need a force far greater than our collective efforts, as a people, can ever hope to muster. It is time to move the battle to the spiritual realm... It's time to claim GOD's promise of healing of the land for His people. It's time to gather GOD's people on its knees to pray for the economic recovery and moral reformation of our nation.

Is prayer really the answer? Before you dismiss this as just another rambling of a religious fanatic, I'd like you to consider some lessons we can glean from history.

England 's ascendancy to world power was preceded by the Reformation, a spiritual revival fueled by intense prayers.

The early American settlers built the foundation that would make it the most powerful nation today - a strong faith in GOD and a disciplined prayer life. Throughout its history, and especially at its major turning points, waves of revival and prayer movement swept across the land.

In recent times, we see Korea as a nation experiencing revival and in the process producing the largest Christian church in the world today, led by Rev. Paul Yongi Cho. No wonder it has emerged as a strong nation when other economies around it are faltering.

Even from a purely secular viewpoint, it makes a lot of sense. For here there is genuine humbling & seeking of GOD through prayer, moral reformation necessarily follows. And this, in turn, will lead to general prosperity. YES, we believe prayer can make a difference. It's our only hope.

Today, we launch this email brigade, to inform Filipinos from all over the world to pray, as a people, for the economic recovery and moral reformation of our nation. We do not ask for much. We only ask for 5 minutes of your time in a day, to fwd this email to your close friends and relatives.

This is the kind of unity which can make a big difference. Of course, if you feel strongly, as I do, about the power of prayer, you can be more involved by starting your own prayer group or prayer center.

We have tried people power twice; in both cases, it fell short. Maybe it's time to try prayer power. GOD never fails. Is there hope? YES! We can rely on God's promise, but we have to do our part. If we humble ourselves and pray as a people, GOD will heal our land. By GOD's grace, we may yet see a better future for our children.

'If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land...'(2 Chronicles 7:14).

If you care for your children and grandchildren, PLEASE pass this on...

Let's not just abandon the Philippines ..

Hi all -

I was wondering if someone could provide clarification and insight for me. I recently heard through a source who has said that starting March 2010, USCIS will make the I-751 waivers more restrictive (ie, they will be getting rid of the divorce/extreme cruelty waiver). Is this true? I have done much research on this, and all I've managed to come up with is that the I-751 waiver laws seem to be LESS RESTRICTIVE and are more pro-immigrant.

I also asked an immigration attorney and he said that he hasn't heard anything of that sort. Any ideas anyone?

More information please, this is very interesting. Its about time they tighten things up.

So from your research, they would be eliminating the good faith marriage and extreme cruelty options for an excuse to hang around the country?

What about battered spouses under Box E of the form. Would that language remain in the I-751 or would there be a new form to address exceptions relative to VAWA?

The idea of, "I came here to USA to be married but it didn't work out, but I wanna stick around anyway" garbage has got to go.

I'll stop there.

Any links or more info would be appreciated.

Nutmagnet, thank you for your reply. I did not find out this information through research - I found this information out through a 3rd source. The source told me that according to a tv program he watched, USCIS would do away with the good faith marriage waiver and what I assume is the extreme cruelty waiver. I asked an immigration attorney about this; he said that rumors are rampant regarding these kind of laws but that he hasn't heard anything of the sort. What I researched was whether or not there was an iota of truth to what this source has said - so far, all I've managed to find is that the USCIS has come up with guidelines on what to do when you have a person in pending divorce proceedings/separation who doesn't yet qualify for the "good faith marriage" exception. And that stance is very pro-immigrant.

Additionally, before you refer to things as "garbage", please take a step back and take a second look at what you say. If you look at the immigration laws very closely, they favor the USC very much. It leaves alot of control and power in their hands - for instance, when to file the adjustment of status once you have a qualifying marriage on a K-1 visa. And try this one too - the USC has to sign the joint petition on the I-751 to have the conditions on the greencard lifted. If all USC spouses were good, it would not be an issue. But, the sad reality is there have been many scenarios where the USC have used these laws to exert control and abuse their immigrant spouses. If that is what you refer to as "garbage," I wholeheartedly agree that THAT must go. However, I believe what you are referring to is taking away someone's livelihood and their right to be in America simply because the marriage didn't work out or the USC refused to cooperate. If there is a hint of immigration fraud, that is a different scenario. BUT in cases where people have bonafide reasons for entering into the relationship and for whatever reason it doesn't work out, than yes, I believe that immigrants should be afforded protection and a chance to stay. Imagine what the immigrant had to leave behind to come to America, and imagine how much more they stand to lose by not having the chance to protect their futures. I believe what you suggest is to remove all protections - and essentially, that is what the waivers are - for the immigrant and to give more power to the USC. That's sad, and I wonder whether you would feel differently if you were facing these same situations that some immigrants face....

Hello blistex27,

Your profile information is blank and a previous post of yours suggests that you are a foreign man on a Conditional Green card who married to a USC, and are having problems in your relationship.

hello all. I already have my 2 year conditional green card, which I was granted august 30, 2008. We can't file to remove conditions until may 30, 2010. I don't think we are going to last that long, no matter how many times we try. I keep quiet as much as possible to keep the peace, but my wife picks fights with me often about trivial things, and she lets her family interfere way too much in our affairs. This woman has treated my family members with disrespect and repeatedly threatens to kick me out of our home. She insists she will be moving out of our home soon and refuses to file for divorce. I doubt when it comes time to remove conditions that she will do it, so i am in quite a pickle.

I will reply step-by-step.

"I found this information out through a 3rd source. The source told me that according to a tv program he watched, USCIS would do away with the good faith marriage waiver and what I assume is the extreme cruelty waiver."

So this is based on a 3rd party who saw an unmentioned TV show. I should save my breath here.

"If you look at the immigration laws very closely, they favor the USC very much. It leaves alot of control and power in their hands - for instance, when to file the adjustment of status once you have a qualifying marriage on a K-1 visa."

Of course! Why would you think the immigrations laws would favor anyone else BUT the USC? This is America, the USC is American and the USCIS, a division of DHS is in place to protect the USA and its citizens.

"And try this one too - the USC has to sign the joint petition on the I-751 to have the conditions on the greencard lifted."

Fancy that. but not necessarily so. Remember the USC started the process for the foreign beneficiary. Why do you think their involvement would suddenly stop. They did sign an contract guaranteeing their support for you. Perhaps a bond also.

"If all USC spouses were good, it would not be an issue. But, the sad reality is there have been many scenarios where the USC have used these laws to exert control and abuse their immigrant spouses."

If all intending immigrants were good................... The sad reality is that is not always the case. There have been countless scenarios when the USC was duped by the intending immigrant in regards to their sincerity of a marital commitment for the sole intent of obtaining immigration benefits. DHS/USCIS exists for the ultimate benefit and concern over the USC and the USA. They can pick and choose.

"I believe what you are referring to is taking away someone's livelihood and their right to be in America simply because the marriage didn't work out or the USC refused to cooperate."

The buck stops right here. "Their right to be in America"

My friend, The USA has granted you a privilege, currently Conditional, to exist to this county. ITS NOT A RIGHT. Never assume differently or forget that.

I am sorry that you marriage is not working out, unfortunately, it is a fact of life with statistical odds against success. Try getting your money back from a Casino when you loose - through no fault of your own - the dealer must have cheated- security wont look at the video tape - the police don't want to make a report. In that situation, it would appear that you have no choice to go home without your money. It the way the game is played. If the rules differ in your country, the better you go and abide by them.

To continue.

"BUT in cases where people have bonafide reasons for entering into the relationship and for whatever reason it doesn't work out, than yes, I believe that immigrants should be afforded protection and a chance to stay."

Protection? Sorry, based on eligibility. Immigration is a benefit, not a right.

" Imagine what the immigrant had to leave behind to come to America,"

Consider what the USC had to do you get the immigrant here. Marriage is a risk.

"and imagine how much more they stand to lose by not having the chance to protect their futures. I believe what you suggest is to remove all protections"

Why would the DHS/USCIS entertain your desire to protect your future, when it is not in accordance with the desires of the qualifying petitioner, and circumstances regarding your appearance and presence in this country?

"and essentially, that is what the waivers are - for the immigrant and to give more power to the USC."""

Amen. So mote it be.

"That's sad, and I wonder whether you would feel differently if you were facing these same situations that some immigrants face...."

And that some do not face. And what some USC's face and deal with as a result. It goes both ways.

Marriage is a ####### shoot, 50% success. Be lucky that you found out NOW so that you may return to your previous life with the experience and knowledge that you gave gained from your experience. You are entitled to very little, if not nothing at all.

This country owes you nothing, no rights for permanent residency whatsoever Only the privilege to be a beneficiary from a qualifying US citizen/permanent residence. How much could I get away with in your country? Hummmm?

You rolled the dice against 50% odds, you lost. Stop your crying, take it like a man and continue on with your life, as it was, prior to this mistake. You are not the only one who has suffered such a disappointment, nor will you be the last.

And this girl didn't know she was pregnant, she just thought she's eaten too many burgers, hahahahaha, yeah right - when there are so many Bulgarians starving because the economy is getting worse and worse...

Not much different here. Wait until you get a job in the USA and start paying taxes. You'll soon see the same sort of thing going on here. There is always someone else who is making a profit from your wages.

If Visa makes you happy - stick with it. Windows upgrades to new versions and Service Packs have been a P.I.T.A. since DOS days. Your chances for a successful OS upgrade improves considerably if you have the upgrade CD/DVD and are not updating via download from Windows Updates, like everyone else in the world would be doing simultaneously putting a stress of servers and network, more chances for a hiccup. Vista upgrades to SP1 come to mind, XP to SP2 can not be forgotten.

Windows can most certainly affect the motherboard.

Recent experience include the false notification of new USB and Audio drivers available for a certain MSI motherboard, and a fan speed regulator for an 3-4 years old Asus board. In the MSI case, USB xfer rates decreased to a snail's pace and in the situation of the other, the Asus 'Cool N' Quiet" driver, the fans simply stopped running and the PC would overheat and shut down every 45 minutes.

In these situations, Windows specified and directed the users to install the wrong driver update which affected components on the motherboard.

Be especially careful when Windows suggests new drivers or program updates, especially for stuff they didn't make. Instead look to the manufacturer's web site, read about the upgrade, and decide whether or not you think it would be an advantage to do so. Notwithstanding, if Microsoft or others suggest an upgrade that addresses security vulnerability, its probably best to install that, as well as always keeping your anti-virus/malware/security up to date.

If I recall correctly, you as a Philippine citizen were Petitioner on your last USA divorce, which is not recognized under Philippine law, hence you are still married in the RP.

Now you are hoping the USEM MNL will let you slide through with full disregard for the laws of your country and give you another Fiancee Visa while you are still married under Philippine law.

It is because of people like you, that.......................

Good luck and God Bless
