This is not right! Get a hold of your husband's CO or Ambudsman and get things straighten out ASAP. How can he not tell his command that he is married? You are missing out on all the Military spouse's benefits like Medical, Dental and BAH. Trouble or not, get a hold of his CO right now so you can at least get a military ID. I'm sorry to tell you that your husband doesn't care for you a bit, so you need to take care of yourself and act soon.

Get a hold of the Inspector General, or the legal team on base and explain your situation to them. Do you know what service is he in and what base is he stationed at? I will get you their phone number.

Thanks Dave

I have just recieved my NOA2 today thank God. Do u guys know if the number written next to my fiancee's (The beneficiary) name is or will be her permanent alien number ? Thanks in advance.

Nothing you can do to make it quicker. Just sit back and wait for it to happen.
Adjustment of Status, removal of conditions, etc. are all just paperwork processing. Takes time, nothing to stress over. The visa interview was the toughest part.

I'm sick and tired of the stupidity of moderators on Visajourney. You guys are bunch kids. Please Cancel my account now. I'm done putting up with your BS.

I have just checked the USCIS website to find out that my NOA2 is approved. No Email or TEXT message. Thank you to all VJ members for the invaluable information you shared.. I love you all

OK, but I have to say that the movie lacks impact when the foreign beneficiary is from a VWP country and can come visit anytime they want, and vice versa.
Why not from a country whose good citizens are treated like reptiles when they apply for a tourist visa to the USA? Or one where you are guaranteed a year of AP on top of everything else? I mean, c'mon, UK? It is hardly even a foreign country, relatively speaking

I don't see anything wrong with that. She is 21, she is mature, you love her and she loves you; that's what matters. Some people might not like the idea, based on their own personal believes and cultures, but who cares. They don't pay your rent nor put food on your table; they have no right to judge you. It's your life, marry her, be happy and make her happy. Good luck

PS: Adding that youtube patriotic video was very cute..

It is an emergency because military members have to leave everything in their life behind, on a short time notice, to go fight and maybe die for your freedom. So the least you can do is to show some sympathy instead of being so ungrateful questioning their eligibility.

I just arrive home after having a successful interview. Tired as I may be, yet I am still full of energy. Maybe it's because today was a great day where I received a very wonderful gift from Heavens, I got approved - Anyways, just rejoicing but here's my review to give ideas for the rest of the VJ's who is yet to undergo their consular interview.
My schedule is October 11, 2011 @ 6:45am. I am from the Leyte and stayed a week here @ Bagong Silang, Caloocan. Not that close at the embassy so what me and my aunt did was we woke up around 2am. Did the regular stuff to prep myself for the interview. Left the house at around 3:30am and arrived at the embassy at around 4:30 (or close to that time). There were already applicants lined up close the Baywalk, which is where the applicant have to wait till they are called in by the guards. I met Tonnette, another K1 applicant like me, we stayed at the side where the rest of the applicants stayed which had 6:45 schedules. The first batch were called to fall in line at the embassy around 6 and after them we were told to fall inline next. We were told to fall in line outside the US embassy already around 6:30. This are the steps that happened after then:
1. Fall in line at the left tent which was under Immigrant/K1/K3. There will be somebody there that will ask for your passport, DS156(2), DS157(2), DS156K (1), and appointment letter. The person will arrange the forms accordingly and will look at the sticker infront of him. The sticker hasthe applicants name and passport number ( if I am not mistaken). He will stick it at the back of the passport then after doing so he will place the passport inside a ziplock bag and will tell you to enter door number 2.
2. Upon entering door number two, you will have to place your things at the scanning machine and us ( applicant will passby the other way where it does metal scanning 9 hmm, I forgot the name of it but surely you will know ). Oh btw, please don't bring electornic device, no perfumes, no candies or food nside. they wont allow you to enter. They also do not have any section where you can leave those things.
3. Ticketing area - you will follow the line and hand the passport and DS forms to the pre-screener. she will return only the passport and give you a queue number.
4. Waiting area - It took me about 1 and 1/2 hours to wait until my number flashed.
5. Door #2 - It's time for us to enter the main consulate building. Applicants will go through inspection again. Applicants were told to open their bags and place it at the desk where the guards inspect whats inside and leave it there while we passby the section where there is a body/metal scanner plus a guard to check if you have brought unauthorized things with you. After you pass the inspection, get your bag.
6. Waiting area - there are chairs inside the premises. Apllicant will stay there while waiting for their number to flash.
7. Biometric - It took me again about 1 hour before my biometrics were done. What do do: Say your FULL NAME and DATE OF BIRTH. Then place the first 4 (four) fingers on the green light ( left first followed by the right) then after that the thumbs. after biometric is done, wait again
8. Filipino pre-screener: after another 1 hour of waiting to death ( kidding) I was called at window 57 where a male Filipino pre-screener asked for my passport and other documents. I.E ORIGINAL ( birth certificate, divorce decree, annotated marriage contract (CENOMAR -if single), Annulment decree, NBI clearance, I-134, 2010 ITR, 2010 W2, pictures of me and my fiance)
*** the guy read my annulment papers. Asked me the following:
- Who was my petitioner
- How did we met
- When did we met
- When did he last visited me.
- How many previous marriage he had
- When did he got separated and divorced?
- Was I married before?
- When did I got annulled?
- How many children I got?
- Their names and age?
- Will they go to the US?
- Why did they not schedule their interview together with me?
After that, he looked at the pictures and hand it back to me and told me to hand it to the consul later. ----Then told me to go back at my seat my wait till I die - hahahhaha - Kidding!
9. Consul - After close to an hour of waiting, YEAH my number flashed and I was called at window 58 ( actually its not just a window but a room ) The place feels more private and I was able to sit comfortably - Greeted the consul. She was a young lady, so friendly, thanks God. She smiled at me and greeted me Good morning which I returned the courtesy likewise. Infront of her was the I-129f and other documents which the first Pinoy pre-screener took from me. She asked me the following quesitons and typing same time at the computer, not sure if she was jotting down my replies Here are the questions she asked me:
- Name of the petitioner
- How did I met him ( well ofcourse thorugh the yes - DUH..hahhaha - no I didn't say that)
- When did we first met? ( I told him 2003, and she said WOW! - with again a nice smile which makes me atleast ease the tension )
- Were we dating that time? ( I told her no, we were best friends since 2003 until 2007)
- How did you both became serious? ( At 2007 there was about a year of no communication, we were both busy career wise - until I finally received an email from him asking me if we can talk..then the romace begun - she smiled..a smile which makes me feel like she liked what she heard )
- Was the petitioner married before?
- Do I know his x-wife?
- Is she from the US?
- How many marriages did the petitioner have had?
- Was I married before too?
- Does he have kids?
- Do I know that should marry him within 90 days?
***Then the magic word came out...she congratulated me and told me I was APPROVED. I was almost emotional and did thanked her. She smiled at me and told me to wait at window 72 for my visa delivery instruction.
10. Waiting area at the close window 72. I waited for like 30 minutes till my number flashed but oh no, it wasn't window 72 but window 68 But it's ok. I went at window 68. Greeted the guy there and he greeted me back. He asked my full name and told me I was approved and just to wait for my visa to be delivered. He said no exact time - He kept the passport but handed me the appointment letter This is because St. Lukes already got me a copy of that and it was the ones they kept on the record.
Thats was the end of the grueling yet successful visa interview I have at USEM. We left the embassy at exactly 11:45. HAPPY!
FYI: To other applicants:
- Read the Do's and dont's when going to the interview. There were applicants who brought electronic gadgets, like cellphone and laptop..they were not allowed to enter and there's no section there to leave the things. If you have nobody whom you can leave your things, better not bring them at all.
- Just relax, I know its typical to be nervous, but always stay positive and keep in mind they are just asking applicants question which we sure know
- Like what my fiance told me don't forget to be courteous and Smile
- I noticed there were applicants who wear slippers and sleeveless outfit which for me doesn't really suit well even for a job interview. Not saying this may help or not, but I think we should atleast dress appropriately. This is a way of showing respect to the person interviewing us. Just my opinion.
- Don't forget to glue the pictures and sign the ds form.
- Be attentive. Some applicants were called many times

Thank God USCIS doesn't hire ignorant people like you to approve I-129F and CR-1 petitions.

Since when does military enlistment became immigration law evasion? That 's his legal right to join the service even though his Green card is not permanent. The military always need good people to serve our great country. It's obvious you have never served, so you wouldn't know. Peace ....

http://www.navy.com/joining/qualifications.html The link proves my point in the paragraph: "You must be a U.S. citizen or, if you’re a non-citizen, you may join the Navy if you entered the United States on a permanent residence visa or have an Alien Registration Green Card and have 1) established a bona fide residence, and 2) established a home of record in the United States"
So who is ridiculous now?

LOL.. that 's very funny

Unlocked Cell phones are widely available in Morocco for prices starting from $30 (sometimes even cheaper) . I would not recommend sending him a phone from the US because he will have to pay a ridiculously expensive custom fee. But if you really insist on getting him one :

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you can't afford a lawyer to get your permanent GC, then you have the option of Enlisting in the US Military. I could be wrong but, you might get your GC extended on the spot and you can apply for citizenship within a year of your enlistment. Just make sure your divorce her first; otherwise she will be entitled to your military benefits. The military pays good money in the long term, but it requires a lot of sacrifices that I think you can handle, considering your situation right now. I'm not trying to recruit you; I'm just saying that this is an option you might want to consider.
Good luck Buddy.
