    Xanax got a reaction from Mithmeoi in Immigrant illegal mother....American child   
    I agree with this. I am sorry. I really think the best thing is to return to Italy where the child will have citizenship and the mother can work.
    I do not know of any path to citizenship or permanent residency that are available to your friend.

    Xanax reacted to Moomin in K1 Visa Confused   
    Can you please either post something relevant or start your own snacking topic? This is the 5th post I've seen from you which absolutely won't help OP and has nothing but that smiley in. If you think the topic is pathetic, reportit, offer advise or simply don't post.
    We all have to start somewhere and it's completely legit to ask questions.

    I agree with Rebecca Jo and Lynjer (apart from the fuglies comment).
    And when he does get a job, he will probably resent the pay too...
    Australia is very different from the US and we ( husband and I) honestly wish we lived there.
    It seems you based you moving decisions on your monetary factors and your husband didn't really realize what the US would be like for him, maybe he didn't realize the difference between the economic climate or the food or...
    For me, the food sucks, the ability to get a job is horrible, people don't understand my "accent" there are so many things I liked better in Australia.
    Why would you not consider living there? Was it fair to ask your then fiance to move countries and from a country which is considerably better off (no recession) when you would not?
    I think you need to put yourself in his shoes. Maybe you could try Australia for a year or at least try to understand where he is coming from. Now that you no longer have a job, it may be the opportune time to look at Australia!

    Yes, you can get married, that is fine!
    As you already have plans to marry (before your fiancee has entered the country), once you marry your wife will have to return to her home country and you will be filing for a CR-1 visa.

    Double post:
    Just to everyone here, I really wish we could all be more civil.
    If you don't like what someone says, you don't have to attack them or to be condescending! Just ignore them or their comments because by biting back, you become just as bad if not worse than them! AND OR if you HAVE to have a retort, try to be diplomatic in your responses, no need to ever get nasty, this forum is meant to help, not hurt, insult or condescend.

    I really think you need to put yourself in his shoes. There is no way he could have known what life would have been like for him, even if you discussed it a million times!
    You wouldn't move for him so at least try to understand why he is unhappy.
    There are so many things here in the US which are different and I find myself at times (read: often) complaining and wishing I was home.
    No matter what he does, says, doesn't do or doesn't say, he moved for you on your terms and your conditions! He loved you more than he loved himself and risked his happiness. So even if you have to bite your tongue sometimes or redo his resume, nothing you have to put up with is like leaving your family, friends and your life to be transplanted somehwhere seeming almost hostile (from your description at least of his work environment) where you have only 1 friend and know 1 person, no job, etc.
    I am not trying to be harsh and I hope I do not come across as such, but coming as an educated person from another first world country may even be a harder adjustment than from a third world or lesser developed country. You expect more and are more dissapointed with the reality of your American situation when it hits.
    Again, no matter what, he did this for YOU something you would never have done for him, so that at least deserves some consideration.
    ----
    Edit: maybe ask him what would make him happier, what could he do, what could you do, what could you do together?
    If you do this you may have a basis to start from. If he doesn't know, step back, give him time and let him come to his decisions on his own.

    Xanax got a reaction from Dirk in I don't how you guys do it   
    I would recommend a civil ceremony in the US or a small ceremony for your family and then do the big wedding in Russia for your fiancee / wife.
    And I agree with the others who said that.the 90 period is for couples who know each other to marry not to get to know each other.

    Either way, you kill the Mother then you kill the now fetus (at 9 weeks embryo becomes fetus). So it makes WAY more sense to TRY to save the Mother.

    Xanax got a reaction from SmilesAbroad in Husband doesn't want to file papers   
    I am not sure how true your statements are, but I choose to have faith in people, and the fact you keep coming back to this post and to ask for help , to me at-least is a sign that your statements are true.
    This is what I would do, if I was you:
    -- Decide NOW what you want to do, your husband will NOT change once you have AOS- know this and then make your decision!
    Once you have made a decision on that you can go from there... If you want to stay with your husband and live how you are living people here can help you with your paperwork; if you want to leave the relationship and stay in the US there are people here who can help you get in touch with those you need to and give you advice; if you want to return to your home country with/ without your child , there are those here who can give you advice on how to do that; if you want your husband to change, only you can help facilitate that, but it does not sound like you are in a good relationship and I would be picking options 2 or 3.

    Xanax got a reaction from Asia in Pregnant Teen Denied Both Chemo and Abortion Dies   
    How can this even be argued? It is beyond me.
    The mother was evidently sick (noted by the fact she died days later). Though one may question health care in the DR I am sure medical professionals knew the seriousness of her condition.
    With this knowledge there was 2 choices, try to save the mother and hope for the child or have both die. A 9 WEEK FETUS CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT'S MOTHER. Unless the child was almost full term, which it wasn't it cannot live without it's mother! This seems like a concept which is escaping some on this board and clearly in the DR.
    So again. Possibly kill one or kill both on principle...
