I hope this is not seriously enough to delay the processing of our I-130. We are going to submit ours soon and this doesn't seem like good news at all.
Making all the legal immigrants like my wife to wait while they process all the paperwork for all these illegal immigrants .... just seems wrong.

I did not meet my fiance online but I find most of the content of your post very insulting and uncalled for. You can disagree with anyone at anytime but being a brute and stereotyping speaks to your lack of understanding and compassion. By the way, what is your preferred method of meeting a potential mate? Your family reunion, a bar, your street corner?

Im on board. Infact, before they sit there and do anything for any illegals they should have made a visa available for immediate relatives to people filing I-130s. Its not like every American is rich and wealthy and can just afford to travel over to the other side of the world and stay with their wife or fiancee.
I get the point of the new visa in effect...sure it makes sense for illegals who have children here. But illegals have been here forever and nothing has been done. Sure its a big issue and probably just all political, but at the same token we all sit here and see our petitions get transferred and have absolutely no idea where our petition is because of deferred action which has to do with children who were brought here by illegals. Completely unfair how we all have to sit here 6-12 months and suffer. As soon as someone posts a letter that everybody is sending, I will send mine to my representatives and senators. I refuse to sit and stay in the back of the line because im trying to do the legal way.

I'm sorry but don't agree with you at all. No one is trapped and forced to do things the wrong way. These people decided to break the law and should be punished like everyone else who decides to go the easy path. What kind of legal system rewards people that break the law by creating loopholes? This affect ALL OF US, one way or another, so you might want to think about it. No one is saying that they should be ban, so please, before you reply, read the post again so we are on the same page. All we are saying is that the law should be applicable to everybody, not only to some people. No one is attacking anybody here, so if you have some unresolved issues with whatever situation, you are welcome to bring it up and we can talk about it, or you can just keep it to yourself and move on to a post you like better, your call. First of all, be respectful. We all have the right to get our cases processed in time, and since you don't know me, I'm going to kindly ask you to stop saying how some cases are not worth what other cases are, that is plain ridiculous, to say the least. This post is meant for people to take action and help move things forward for all of us, hopefully. If you are ok with that, great! Welcome on board! If not, could you just relax and let us be? You don't need to be ok with every post here, but you do need to be respectful.
And for the rest of you, awesome VJ people, don't let things like this get us distracted, it's not worth it Some people just like attention, and we have better things to do, like getting reunited with our loved one!! Can't wait!!! =D

I have met with my Representative's office. All I got in return is a standard response that our case did not meet the expedite criteria. That is not what I was asking for but it was the only response I received. I, too, want American citizens who are following the rules to have first priority.
I'm offended that anyone would think that our relationships are somehow inferior because we are not physically together. My fiance and I have been together for 2 1/2 years, and when we are not by one another's side, we are in communication every day. The distance has ENHANCED our communication and made our relationship strong, not to mention the sacrifices we ALL go through to stay together. Nothing about this is easy and if we ever take each other for granted then it is our own stupidity. We have a joke that if we ever fall out, we'll just look at each other and say "3741" (our distance apart) and petty disagreements will melt away. We truly love and appreciate one another, or we wouldn't be going through this frustrating process. People in less committed relationships would have said "this is too hard" long ago. I think we're all heroes!
Back to the original topic... here's a link for a petition (especially for Vermont Center couples). Sign it if you will. There is power in numbers.
OOOOPPPSSS! Won't let me post a link because I don't have 5 points?????

This thread is not about keeping anyone out of the US or deporting anyone. It's about the USCIS processing cases and that it should be done fairly.

Actually I come from a family of immigrants, every single one has done so legally, so I don't really get what you are saying. My father, two aunts, and a cousin have all immigrated LEGALLY in the last 26 years. My grandmother immigrated LEGALLY to the UK in the 1950s, my mother's parents immigrated LEGALLY to America.
I've immigrated to my husband's country LEGALLY and spent a long time trying to figure out the logistics of navigating the EU/Danish immigration system. We will be immigrating LEGALLY back to America because if we couldn't we'd find a country that would take us on legally. Part of my morality and ethics is not breaking laws and I hope future Americans would have the same values.
Lash out if you want at internet relationships. Yes, my husband and I met online. Yes, he happens to be one of the 10,000 or so practicers of my religion in the whole world. Yes, I flew to meet him in under 2 months from our first Skype date and he is more amazing than any man I could ever dream of. In person was way better than online. Our families love each other and you couldn't meet two people who were more made for each other. But, yah know, hate away.

You took the words out of my mouth, I think that everyone has a right to express how they feel, for some people they dont have any other outlet so why not let them have their say?

Notify NVC by e-mail and follow up with a hard-copy letter.
In regard to USCIS, set an InfoPass appointment to find out what's required and to get your information completely in all the records.
Personal note: Along with others here, I'm gladdened to hear of your decision, and you can be proud of it. Hold your head high, because you deserve to.

'how to withdraw' depends on where the casefile is.
Since it's at NVC -
you need to call into NVC on Monday, and ask for a supervisor,
then put the question to the supervisor.
Usually it's a letter sent off, attention of a particular office at NVC,
but
it's enough to simply withdraw the I-864, the affadavit of support, whilst the casefile is at NVC, from NVC.
Not having an I-864 in play stops all casefile processing at NVC, regardless of reason.
Once you get confirmation from NVC, yer done. That casefile won't get to the IV unit, at all.
to anyone else reading this, before you try to give advice on saving the relationship - I beg of you - make time to read her prior posts. Learn how to use VJ web portal, aye?

You seem to be missing the point, working illegally and working illegally with fake documentation are not the same thing. The latter is a cognizable felony unlike the former which even the White House has shown a preparedness to accomodate. I do not think anywhere on this board anyone has ever said it is okay to work with fake documents.

The extraordinary naivety that the OP is displaying is astounding.
Admitting on a public forum that she broke the law and "got away" with it...
Makes me think of the boys who taunted that poor bus monitor and posted the video online.
OP, what ARE you thinking??

The OP is just a silly girl. I think that was evident from the title
OP: You will learn at some point during your life that it's not about what you can get away with, and that you shouldn't really post stupid and/or illegal things online for all to see.

Makes me sick.....hopefully she will be found out and justice will prevail.

Which one of you were sponsored for the EB-2 visa? If it was your husband then you've got problems. If it was you then your husband has got problems. The person who was sponsored for the EB-2 visa remains eligible to adjust status based on the EB-2 petition. The spouse of the person who was sponsored is eligible to adjust status only because of their marital relationship with the EB-2 visa holder. If that marriage is terminated before they adjust status then their eligibility ends. They can't get a green card, and the EAD is revoked.

First, why do you even wish to accompany your husband during that late stage of pregancy, unless it was to have US taxpayers foot the bill? Why do you need to remain in the US for 6 months? Who is supposed to pay for daycare for the other child? Did you, eh, forget to mention this little sidetrip to the VOs when applying for the visa? (I am guessing that you did)....this is why the 14th Amendment needs amending...no more anchor babies that cost the taxpayers millions and no more free green cards for the parents.

I find it interesting that you've already asked about so many different kinds of visas to the USA. Just my own observation

Marrying someone solely to get an immigration benefit is fraud.

What's the rush? You got an appointment or something?

Country of origin has nothing to do with ethics and morals, just saying. The same American that you loved enough to marry one day has not changed his nationality. Just his claws came out. I will marry a Peruvian man soon, but I will always defend my American men ! What I wont defend are low lives who mistreat their women.
Instead of thinking about suicide and feeling sorry for yourself, I encourage you to be proactive.
#1 decide what you want in life -- TO BE HAPPY
#2 decide what is keeping you from #1 -- SCUMBAG LOW LIFE
#3 decide how can you get away from #2 -- ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS THAT HE GOES TO THE BAR, GRAB 2 OR 3 THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT LEAVE BEHIND (DONT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT) AND RUN !!! -- dont turn back !!
#4 please dont do what countless other women (of ANY nationality) have done in the past and return, because yes he will tell you he has changed and things will be better. But NO they will not, if he wanted change and he wanted better he would have done it while you were still there.
In your shoes, I would consider going back home and surrounding myself with people that love me and care about me. But I dont really know you or your life or situation so all I can tell you is good luck.

Great topic!
I'm pretty tall by any country's standards for a woman at 5'10".
Lucky for me K is about the same height thanks to that Punjabi blood.
I do still wear heels sometimes because I like them even if they put me at Amazon height.

Is everyone a legal adult?
You cannot be responsible for the attitudes of others.
People can take our freedom, our money, our livelihood, our possessions, and whatever else... but they can take our attitudes only if we let them.
Si, man?

As a professional nurse I am amazed at how many patients do not speak the english language. Many have been here for 30 years. It makes it so difficult for them (and healthcare workers) when they are sick. I wish everyone that was planning on living in the USA would learn English. I cannot educate the patients on their disease process or medications or prevention of exacerbations. I do know how hard it is to learn another language. I have tried to learn Arabic and I have failed and given up for now. But, I know if I decided to live in another country, I would learn the language in order to protect myself and help myself.
Learning the culture is a whole different story. Embracing the american way is not for everyone. And I accept people as they are. As a nurse I am educated on certain cultural difference in medical care and beliefs so I respect other cultures and the way they want their diseases treated, with herbs, with prayers, with medicine... I respect the way families want to grieve and whatever they believe. I am here to support them and educate them. Many foreigners have educated me as much as I was educating them.
So, I believe they need to learn English for their own safety. And america is a melting pot so they can jump in and melt or stay away from the heat and live their life anyway they choose cause we are in America and that is their choice.

Just as long as he is not disappointed with the TRYING...

I agree with this 100%. There are plenty of twenty-something year old Indian males perusing the internet in search of unsuspecting vulnerable American women whom they can scam for a quick ticket to the U.S. It's common enough today that COs will look at out of the norm cases through very suspicious eyes. Online meetings, significant age differences, minimal time meeting face to face all throw up more indications that this relationship is a scam and is only seeking immigration benefits. The more the relationship veers from a typical relationship in India, the more your relationship will be scrutinized.
It's important to step back and look at your relationship from an outsider's perspective. It was hard for us to do this and VJ has helped a lot in that regard.
I completely agree with previous member's posts who have suggested going to India for some time and building your relationship with your fiance. It's not the easiest decision to undertake by any means, but we all must make sacrifices in such complex relationships. I suggest preparing yourselves now for a back-up plan, in the event that a visa to the U.S. is not a possibility. IMO, India is an amazing country. I enjoy every second I spend there with my fiance and would be up for moving if things did not work in our favor for immigrating to the U.S.
