Now you don't even have to get tested for AIDS when immigrating to the US anymore, so there's no possible way you should get denied for having Herpes!
Mark YES to having an STD and move on!!!

Just because someone is in the military does NOT mean, in any way, that they are an upstanding person. I have known some really aweful people that have been in the military. It really bugs me that people always jump to "he's putting his life on the line... Or....it's because of him that we have all the rights that we do.". Some military are complete asses, lazy, don't give a ####### about their country OR you and me, and have mental problems just like regular citizens.
As with every story we read here on vj, no one will ever know the whole truth.
PS. I'm not bashing all military. One of my best friends is also military. But don't put someone on a pedestal just because they wear the uniform. They are not all godsends.

Love this thread. Here I go....
You know your husband's African when he's able to fashion a "dress" out of a bed sheet. (me: "where the f is the bed sheet????" ..... Look up and see my husband walking around the house nekkid with a freakin bed sheet dress on!!!!)
You know your husband's African when he finishes cooking his food, leaves it in the burnt-to-a-crisp pot, on the stove, ALLLLLLLLL day!!! (holy hell, why do we even have a refrigerator???)
You know you husband's African when HIS PANTS ARE SO FREAKIN TIGHT THAT YOU ALLLLLLWAYS KNOW HOW HE'S "HANGIN".
You know your husband's African when he starts eating THE BONES in whatever animal it is that he is eating at the time! (..."the bones have juices! It's good for your eyes!!!!" - vomit)
You know your husband's African when he drives. (nuff said)
You know your husband's African when he gives you a card but he signs his name at the top and your name at the bottom.
You know your husband's African when he mixes water with his pop. And drinks warm water.
Yep...my husband is most def African. Shall I go on? Cause I could be here all night!

FINALLY!!!!
On October 25, my husband was granted permanent residency!!!! We got his welcome letter in the mail on Saturday and his 10-year green card should be here in 3 weeks.
I've been gone for a while but to remind you, I'm the one with a husband who WAS in removal proceedings, I managed to get my step-sons over here on an immigrant visa and finally we got my husband out of removal proceedings, adjusted status with a judge and a green card on the way!!
What a long, hard, horrible journey this was. One I will NEVER take again in my life! For those who want to read my story, you can find it here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/420628-if-i-can-do-it-anyone-can-do-it/
HANG IN THEIR GUYS!!! Your time will come!

We spent our summer swimming every chance we got. They went from sinking like a rock to knowing how to swim and only sinking like a pebble now (they still need some more fat on those bones!!!). They both did sports camps, met friends and we vacationed in the gulf of mexico.
The boys started school this past Monday. One is a freshman, one is in 6th grade. Freshman made the soccer team and is loving school. The little one is loving EVERYTHING and making a ton of friends and trying out EVERY sport possible.
So far, we are still a happy family! Hope all of you are well!

My visa has been approved. Thanks all

I hope you are having fun spending my money
I will work 60+ hours a week so you won't get tired

I really hope this is just a troll trying to get people riled up.

Just because we only see one side of the story doesn't mean you get to MAKE UP the other side of the story! Jeez.

My case is a difficult case. My husband came here on a 6 month visitor's visa in 2006. He has been here ever since. He is currently in removal proceedings and will have his interview with the immigration judge in July - hopefully sooner. But today wasn't about my husband, it was about my step-kids.
A year ago, I spoke to 5 lawyers about my case. Not one of the lawyers would take my case. They would not even touch it. They said there was no way I would even get an I-130 approved, let alone a visa, until my husband (their dad) got his green card. I even asked questions on VisaJourney and a few veteran members, whom are well respected by not only me, but many people on this website, even said that it wasn't going to happen. I even contacted Marc Ellis...he wouldn't touch it.
I read the instructions for a USC to petition for a step-child and the only requirements were that I was married to their father and that their father was their actual biological father. I read and read and read some more about this immigration process. I was confused as to why none of the lawyers would help me, and why people were so discouraged by my case, as everything I've read was cut and dry....I had to be married to the kids' father and the kids' father needed to be their biological father. Well, that fits our situation to a T, so what's the problem?
I decided to go against everyone's advice and petition for the kids in April 2012. We got sent to California and at that point, California was approving petitions in 3 months (sorry to those at California now... ). 3 months to the day rolled around and when everyone else got approved, we got thrown into Additional Processing. I was devestated and cried for a good 2 days. I was second guessing myself and just knew that I wasted money and should have just listened to the lawyers. We got a letter in the mail stating that if we hadn't heard anything in six months ( ) that we could feel free to call them. Wow. What a depressing 4 months that was!!! I was finally called into my local immigration office for an interview. I passed with flying colors and my IO approved the boys on the spot. Their cases were passed on to NVC the next day!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!! We pretty much flew through NVC (23 days or so) and was assigned an interview date of March 20, 2013.
The past few weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions! I would go from being excited one minute, to nervous for the boys the next minute, to extremely scared that those 5 lawyers were right, and that this was an impossible task and they were going to get us at the interview.
My step-kids had their interview today. The IO said if they had pictures they would have been approved on the spot which really is UNHEARD OF for Nigeria. Since they didn't have any pics, they got sent for a DNA test with approval of visa upon receipt of a positive DNA match. THANK YOU BABY JESUS!!!
The point of my story is... Trust your instincts, reasearch on your own, and have faith that all will be well! Had I given up after those 5 lawyers shot me down, I wouldn't even have a petition in for the kids today. I would be no closer to getting the kids here than I was 11 months ago. Our children will be here in America and be green card holders before their Dad even is. No thanks to a lawyer!
Good luck to all who are still going through this process. You will get through it!

it's sad but not surprising given the demographics, education, and age of many posters here.

Isn't it odd how you can stereotype blacks here but a thread about Muslim wife beating was closed because of prejudice and stereotyping?

Brace yourself for wanna be cops accosting people then killing them knowing that they'll walk free.

Excellent!

She can remove conditions by herself, even after you divorce her.

A quick DNA collection for my boys in the morning! I'm much more calm than I was at interview a few weeks ago! hahaha
GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WITH INTERVIEWS THIS WEEK!!!

The AOS documents were sent to the embassy by NVC. This is just a back up sponsor of needed.
No one going through this process is going to say to a potential co-sponsor, "oh, you don't trust me with your personal info? Nevermind, I'll just search and search some more for someone else to co-sponsor! Sure, it could take months and maybe NEVER happen, but if u don't want me to see some info, then u shouldn't help us!".
Uh, no. They are going to try their damnedest to get it done.

No it is not. Coming to the states on a visitor's visa with the intent to get married and STAY HERE is fraud. OP stated he would go back home when his visa was up. Perfectly legal.
OP - as long as you go back home and don't overstay, all will be well. But they might not even let you in if you state that you are coming to get married. Just be prepared.
GOOD LUCK!
