I'll say it again: HAVING CANCER DOESN'T EXCUSE ONE'S NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR.

In my opinion you are right and wrong at the same time.

I read this post earlier and out of impulse i posted a harsh comment. I couldn't get this "story" out of my head and i came back to read the OP's initial post. When i've seen your "HAVING CANCER DOESN'T EXCUSE ONE'S NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR" i realized why i couldn't wrap my mind around this sad situation. I could see his "negative behavior" and you were pointing out hers. The magic word for both our initial opinions is CANCER...

Now, let me tell you why i said you are right and wrong (and why we are all wrong by taking sides)

This woman and this man, both, know there is a treatment for her condition. There can be hope one day she will be cancer free, but this treatment is not available to her due to the circumstances. The only option left for her is death.

So, in a few words, right now, both of them are going through THE STAGES OF GRIEF. I will give you the examples for the 5 stages in the OP's own words. Keep in mind that the stages are not always in this speciffic order, the person might not even know at the time he/she is in one of these stages and the time to go to the next stage is different from person to person !

For HER:

1. Denial and Isolation - This is the first wave of pain as a terminal illness patient (Denial - "she can not afford a treatment cz she was covered by her father's health insurance and she was excluded from it cz of her marriage to me"; Isolation - "my wife did not even let her in the house you know why .. just because she doesn't like the way my sister was dressed up"

2. Anger - she is resenting him for causing her the pain ( See the Denial stage + "started treating me badly cursing yelling at me calling me names infront of my family and friends.")

3. Bargaining - She needs to get control of the situation, but since she can't control her cancer she is trying to control her husband. ("she makes me pay all the bills and rent plus i have to give her money for her perseonal expenses . if i dont she hold threat of withdrawing i 130 and get me deported since illegal immigration law has been passed in alabama")

4. Depression (See stage Isolation + "she has quit her job")

5. Acceptance (She is not there yet and I hope she will never reach this stage. In my opinion i would seek treatment, go in debt and face bankruptcy than know i will die).

For Him:

1. Denial and Isolation - the " i will be fine stage" - (Denial - "i perseonally think she is suffering from a bipolar disorder" .(making excusses for her behavior); Isolation (from her) " now a friend told me about vawa self petition")

2. Anger - (" this marriage is so over i can not be with this woman any more .. if my vawa approved or not if i get deported or not i am over with this thing.")

3. Bargaining - it might sound a little bit of a streach but bargaining stage = the big "IF" - ( "she was diagnosed with ovary cancer"... "she was covered by her father's health insurance"..."she was excluded from it cz of her marriage to me"..." vawa self petition can be my way out of this " )

4. Depression: (" i have been going through a lot of stress and anxiety"... "and letter from my therapist")

5. Acceptance - Not there yet, either.But he is trying to "run" away from pain.

PS... OP...Sit down with your wife and have a discution about eachother's feelings when it comes to her illness. Try to find some options. I (finally) understand your anger but the last thing she needs right now is to loose you, too! ... And... one day, when all your anger is gone, you don't want to wake up each morning asking yourself "what if"...

Take care....

i have seen an attorney she think that i do have a case but i m still confuse about vawa i need to make sure that i do have a strong case before i file for it

WOW!!!

Sorry but this is a bunch of BS!!! You had the time to contact a lawyer but you didn't have the time to call the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY on behalf of your WIFE!!!

Dude!!! She has CANCER!!! without treatment she is DEAD!!! You scram ABUSE because she is blackmailing you with INS papers and because she was rude to your sister? Again BS!!! She is not MANIC~DEPRESSIVE but just a woman scared out of her mind, facing her own death! Put yourself in her shoes! Yould you be all kissy kissy if you were the one about to see your maker in a matter of time?

If i was her, i would be the one to SCREAM ABUSE because my dear husband doesn't give a ####### about me, and by the way he is acting I would also think about calling ICE and report our marriage as FRAUD before i DIE!!!

I had more pitty for my dog when she pulled a muscle, than you have for your spouse. The puppy was supposed to take 1 tiny pill/ day for a week and i was ready to send my husband and kids on that expensive vacation that we planed for 3 years just to be there for my pet when she was in pain! My neighbors convinced me to go but i drove them nutts by calling 10 times a day to check on my "baby". All i wanted was to be back home to hold her tight in my arms and hope my love and affection would ease her pain!

I have some rhetorical questions for you!

If you married her for love and she was the ONE. What good is that GC when she is long gone?

What are your plans in the US, because i don't think you want that GC to go visit you wife's GRAVE and cry at her HEADSTONE!!!

October 4, 2011

Hey guys,

I had my interview yesterday in Pittsburgh and... It was the funniest day of our lives. This is a long story but funny if you want to read it...

We were supposed to wake up at 2:30 am and get ready since we had a 3.5 h drive ahead of us, but of course we didn't roll out of bed until 3:21 (strange...). I ran to the kitchen (i can't function without my coffee) and on my way downstairs i snatched the iPod to go through the questions again. My hubby told me i was making to much noise so after a mean look on my end, i slammed the door behind me and went on the front porch. Next info is gross and what i call "too much information", but i will share it anyway...I started reading the questions and i felt sick to my stomach, i guess you all know what happened next... oh lord, my poor flowers (it's important because the only times i threw up was when i was pregnant with my 2 kids - and NO, i'm not pregnant again, i was just way to nervous).

I took a fast shower, gave my husband the second mean look of the day, told him to get his bottom in the shower and I woke up the kids. Even if i was scared of this moment, everything went great. They didn't complain and behaved like angels. I finally got ready and we were off the door at 5:00 am sharp.

The drive was smooth until we hit the last 6 miles. Dead stop traffic because of an accident. I was watching the "arriving at destination time" on the GPS and it felt like i was going crazy with each "update". In no miles (i should say) it went from 8:29am all the way up to 8:55 am. When in a desperate attempt to calm me down, my husband said "We are ok, it doesn't matter if we are a little late!" i had my breaking point.

At 9:00 we were waiting at the last red light 0.2 miles away from the office (according to the GPS ) and i grabbed my high heels to put them on, when i realized my tights had run threads from my heal all the way up (i have no idea how this happened). There was only one thing i could do!!! Take them off. I looked at the car stoped beside my window. Thank God it was a woman! I could hear my husband asking me what the heck i was doing while the lady stoped beside me looked like her eyes would pop out of her head. We arrived at destination according to our stupid GPS but it was not the place (imagine that). Thank God for Google Maps Street View because i looked around and saw the actual building. We got in the parking lot and my door was open before my husband was done parking. I told him to leave his darn cell in the car and MOOOVE... FASTER (he is an angel and smiling told me "really? here in the parking lot in front of the kids?")

Now... the true interview experience...

We walked through the front door at 9:02. We were greeted by 3 smiling security people. One of them asked for the letter and we walked through the metal detector... We took the elevator to the next level, walked 50 ft and saw the interview room waiting area. There were 18 chairs (my husband said) and i just froze in the door since i had no idea what to do. A lady ( that was working there) told me to "place your letter at that window" and pointed to it. I did so, and found 4 chairs, but my husband was already seated somewhere else so, i sat behind him. I wanted to ask him if he will go see if the kids need to use the bathroom while i was taking the interview since i knew the "demons" would scream for mommy, but he didn't want to come sit beside me. So, with a sweet smile i told him "we will talk about it when we get back home". I wasn't done "smiling" when the door opened and a smiling man called my name.

he introduced himself, invited me in his office, i asked him if i needed my husband DL (he said no).

He swore me in and asked for the letter, GC and my DL. He started asking questions from the file (name, address, phone number).

Then he said "i know your family is in the waiting room, but, now you have to prove to me that you are married and living with your husband". I showed him the house insurance, car insurance, health insurance, a letter from the bank and some rewards letters from the bank (my name doesn't show up on the statement), the only CC that i have with my husband, again, doesn't show my name (but i printed a page of the website - the page where you can add names to the account) and added a change in policy letter that magically had both our names on it, our paypall account statement (do i need to say it? my name doesn't show up in the statements), then the medical spending account cards statement, and of course the tax transcripts. ALL THIS WAS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. He looked at them and gave them back to me.

After this he only asked me how many kids i have and he went to the YES and NO questions (he didn't ask them all).

When he was done with the questions he asked me to sign the N-400.

He reached under his desk and grabed 4 pieces of paper and told me "Now, we will start the second part of the test".

Reading:What state has the most people?

Writing: California has the most people.

History and Civics:

1. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?

2. Who is in charge of the executive branch?

3. If the President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

4. There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.

5. What is one reason colonists came to America?

6. During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

I signed another paper and then he gave me the N-652 "Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval."

He said I will have the Oath on October 28th at a Courthouse that is about 30 mins away from where we live and that i will get the letter in the mail in the next 14 days.

That was it! I walked out and a desperate father/ husband said "Thank God you are back! These kids are impossible! Where do we have to go next?" I told him "Next, we have to go home,i already had the interview and i passed" he thought i was joking. LOL

When we were walking out the front door i asked him what time it was... 9:14am... We got back home at 2:30ish, since we hit more traffic on the way back. On the way home i changed my suit for a comfy pair of jeans in a gas station parking lot (because their restroom was just too nasty). We also had to stop at a Rest Area because my 5 year old boy needed to use the bathroom after eatting McDonald's. I had a hard time keeping a straight face while my son was using the ladies room. Since it was really busy, a sweet old lady (that worked there), would tell women when something was free using this expresion "I can take one in the front, please! I can take one in the back, please! I can take two in the front, please! i can take one in the front and one in the back, please !" When i told my hubby he started laughing and told me i had a dirty mind...

Last night I was just to exhausted to get online and share my experience with you, but here i am now! LOL

Congrats sheila526 and chatnoir. I'm so happy for you!

jethro how was your interview today?

And last but not least... Boston_Girl, good luck tomorrow!!!!

September 2, 2011

If the marriage is invalid, or dissolved, then the five year rule applies. The USC is not part of the process, except now they require copies and originals of both spouses' state ID cards, or Driver's License at the interview. If she won't cooperate, then you have wait the full five years.

Thanks, for pointing out my "missinformation" and correcting my answer. :blush:

September 2, 2011

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a "dual alien number"?

I AM NOT THAT GUY · September 2, 2011

You are the only one that knows what you want to do with your marriage, either go to counselling or get a divorce. Anyway a situation like this is hard to overpass.

When it comes to N-400, if you are the GC holder and you want to become an US Citizen then go ahead and apply!!!

If you had the GC for 5 years than you don't need anything from your wife. But, if you had it only for 3 and you can't work things out with your wife, you might need that divorce paper before you apply (i don't know this for a fact - is just my oppinion).

Good luck!

Congrats everybody!

For the sake of this forum and our matching timelines, I hope my husband gets the email soon!!! Congrats to you guys!

Why for the sake of this forum?

Are you loosing your mind already? :rofl:

I didn't want to post "congrats" until there were more good news because our thread has 28 pages already. For goodness sake, we didn't even get started with the interviews !!

"We the people" of June talk too much!! :devil:

:ot: Anyway...You won't be hearing from me for a week! We are going on vacation and my husband decided to "teach me a lesson on survival without a lit screen" :bonk:

August 12, 2011

My opinion is mine alone and decided she is as about as incompetent as one can be, and being nervous is a non issue, as this is the second time around and should have been a "piece of cake".

I think this is a little harsh. Of course she was nervous, maybe even more than the first time. Is human nature to be scared of an outcome when you "failed" in the past. She is probably devastated right now, and you blaming her doesn't help, no matter how mad you are.

At the end of the interview she was "recommended for approval"

On the other hand, in that little info video USCIS has on the site, the IO is checking the applicant's passport. Maybe the IO saw the stamps or maybe she/he didn't but in the end your wife was recommended for approval. Either way you can't really wait and see what's next and SHE has to inform them of the missunderstanding. If i was in her shoes i would make an INFOPASS asap and explain to them what happend. Something like "I was really emotional and when i was asked about trips outside US i thoght it was ment as trips between the two N-400 applications i've submited"

Also, i think you rushed to send that letter (but this is my opinion) before talking face to face with someone working for USCIS.

August 12, 2011

I don't think anybody can tell you how long you will be "in line". It can be days, weeks or a couple of months.

Look at every "most updated list" for the last 12 months (usually you can find the list on the last page of each thread) and see how long it took for other memebers in your area to become US Citizens. This can give you an idea how long it will take.

If you live around Fairfax, i know there is an office right there. I don't know if they normally have interview and oath the same day... and i didn't know you can request one when you send the papers in.

Also, if you decided to change your name - from what i understand, you have the oath through court and this can delay the process.

August 12, 2011

You are probably right since Citizenship Day is coming up.

BTW, I was just looking at the lists for May and April and there are still a lot of members that didnt get the interview letters (May) or Oath letters (April). But you never know, maybe some of them didn't update/share the info anymore.

All this waiting feels like FOREVER... :unsure:

I feel like there hasn't been much news lately, which I am taking to mean there is going to be a huge flood of interview notices coming soon!

August 11, 2011

thank you so much for ur suggestion.. i am just collecting the document now coz my AOS bill is not generated yet,my case was just approved yesterday.. one more question plz, should i get the employment from HR or get the employment verification letter from my own employer..????? ( and what does HR stand for - Human Resource?????? )thankx again

Yes, HR = Human Resources.

I can't remember if my husband called HR or asked his boss for the letter and his boss got it from HR.

Just tell your boss/suppervisor that you need a letter for immigration purposes that states your name,the type of job you have, the date you got hired and what your salary is. He is either going to get it for you or tell you who you need to contact to get one.

Good luck!

Can I get updated? I have 2 applications filed (self and daughter) Both are in line for interview scheduling (dates of updates are July 26th and Aug 1st). Thanks.

We don't add the dates when the updates say in line for interview sheduling, but maybe it would be a good idea. I will go through the forum and make a list with the dates when we got these updates.

Great news :thumbs:

Nes81,

As my mother in law would say...

BLESS YOUR HEART!!!

Why don't you get your husband to request a copy of his birth certificate from vital records. It's about $20-25. You can't ask for one, only the person named in the certificate or his/her parents can. This way he can take one with him and you will have one with you at the interview if you are scheduled after he leaves.

in my opinion, maybe it wouldn't hurt to get your husband with you and go for an INFOPASS App. if you have an office near by. (other members here can give you better advice on this)

BUT...I really hope you will get your interview and oath before he leaves because a moment like this has to be shared with the person you love!!!

P.S. A big THANK YOU for your service(to your husband and you) from my family.

July 30, 2011

You have to go early!This way you will be on the same waiting level with us!

Finally - I received an email with the biometrics appointment.... Glad I didn't have to wait till the 5th of August...

July 28, 2011

Did they give you the interview date in the email or is the date only in the letter?

I would like to know this, too.

I live in WV and they can send me anywhere from Baltimore Field Office (where i had the FP), to Pittsburgh Sub-Office (where they send people for an INFOPASS), or Charleston Field Office.

When this email will reach my inbox i will go crazy again (the same way i did when i got the FP update), if they don't tell us when and where and i have to wait for 2 weeks.

:help: Does any of you know where they send you if you live to far away from your actual field office?

July 27, 2011

nutmarg, welcome to our thread. I see you are scheduled for FP today; HAVE FUN!!!

July 26, 2011

I just did a google search for "your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling" and it looks like we will get the interview letter in about 2 weeks (more or less). Let's hope for the best!!!

July 26, 2011

I, also, got the "On July 26, 2011, your N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION was placed in line for interview scheduling. " email.
