    sn530 got a reaction from Harpa Timsah in Community college or 4 yr Univ?   
    First i want to start off with, I am not sure exactly how the equivalency company you are using will equivalent her degree and match it up with local collages. Generally what will happen is they will evaluate her education and assess if it meets the criteria for a Bachelors and if it does then that’s awesome. Next thing you want to do is apply for a Masters program at whatever collage.

    In case she is not able to get into a masters program by just applying there is another option. Which is continued studies... it is for Collage graduates with bachelors degrees who dont qualify to get into a masters program.. Essentially you will enroll into the school as a continuing studies student if they have room in the Masters program classes... you will be given the opportunity to take the class. Now keep in mind you are not getting any benefit from this education yet, Unless you can prove that your grade attained in the class is competitive and then you can apply to be accepted with the addition of those classes.

    (I just read what i wrote above it sounds kind of complicated) Anyways in short Get into the best Masters program you can at the best school you can be successful in.
    With the education background of English you will be successful in Communications, Public Relations and Human Resource Career field.

    Good luck.

    (I use to be a Senior advisor for Students in the AP list that not Advanced Placement its Academic Probation)

    Actually you can get a professional job "strait away" just need to have your degree evaluated and see where your educational background stands. Some schools will offer to accept the degree with addition of a few cources and you will have a bacholers or a masters from a local university (if thats the route you choose) CISCO certificates are a little bit more valuable in california I have a few cousins who moved to california from east coast because of a large differnce in pay and value of certificatations.

    so let me get this right,
    1. you have been in an online relationship with this girl for 11 years
    2. Cant go to "Pakistan because of the state of terrorism and general sentiments towards the Americans " (I assume your not of Pakistan decent)
    I also noted other members of the board brought up the financial aspects. I hope you realize having an 11 year relationship does not overlook many facts of life. In fact if you have actually had an 11 year relationship with this individual you would have learned a little bit about the culture and the people of Pakistan. Perhaps you need to watch a TV series aired by BBC called “George Ka Pakistan” It’s about a British guy whom was given a challenge to live in Pakistan and ultimately ended up immigrating to Pakistan. Regardless of what the media portrays Pakistan is not in a “state of Terrorism” if you would like to see “state of terrorism” take a walk through the ghettos of USA and you will fear for your life, even in the ghettos of Pakistan you will not have that same fear.
    Anyways my intent of replying to your post is not to give you a difficult time but given the facts I hope you will consider taking a trip to Pakistan if you do really care for this individual and plan on a future together.
    Another thing you might want to keep in mind that you will be required to show proof of financial ability to support an additional person. Your income will have to be over 21k a year to be able to do so. If you are making more than this there is a good possibility you should be able to finance a trip to Pakistan. Tax season is around the corner and Santa is about to come down the chimney next month perhaps you can wish to find a Airline ticket under the tree.
    Good luck!

    Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
    I see Thanksgiving as one holiday that really is ment for the family to be together and not a religious associated holiday. I hope soon many of you whom are in the AP are able to join there significant other to enjoy the Holidays of Thanksgiving and if not that then the Blackfriday Sales that come to follow... as always i will be going to walmart not to shop but to observe the crazy people that come out and do some very strange things.

    There is no promiss that you will get your visa at any time. The purpose of the updated medical is because the medical expires after a year and if they are able to make a determination on extending you a visa they will need the updated medical. But the good thing is this goes to show they have not forgotten about your case. Just hang in there!

    Rights reserved.... I think the above comments from members you have probably been provided with the legal answer to your question that was asked. I don't mean to pry into your family business nor do I intend any negative accusation upon your cousin . But my question to would be why would anyone want to stay in a country that there significant other is not an origin of? Why would he want to stay in the USA still even when his fiance does not want to marry him?....additionally have you spoke to and consulted with your cousin why after this long period of nearly a year they started treating him badly upon his arrival?..... seems a little fishy to me.... but then again I dont know the full scope of the situation. Majority of the individuals whom go through the k1 process have the ability to back out of a promise at anytime... but waiting for him to arrive and then treating him badly I don't know if that would be common practice or anything a intelegent individual would do. Also the dawry is given at the time of the wedding when the nikkah nama is signed...its your own cousins foolish mistake to give money to the family in advance. Furthermore most families in USA tend to make more money then people in Pakistan... and if your cousin was in a position to give money to them he must come from a wealthy family so why is he stressing about reclaiming dowry money?Also is it not that dowry money is for the girl anyways? thats if things don't work out and it seems they are not working out.... your cousin should have considered that an investment expense not just an asset to recover when and if needed. Once again I mean no pun or ill will... speak with your cousin see if its something he has initiated and try your level best to reconcile the differences.. many times issues like these arrise from a miss understanding created by the involvement of the family.Speak to the girl and ask her if this is what she wants and same with your cousin. Good luck!

    yes exactly, thats why take the info with you as long as she can tell were you worked before and tell them you have changed jobs then its fine! I would consider the interviewing agents at the embassy are human and they would realize people do change jobs and they do move for jobs and over time income goes up. There for if your wife can explain the variance in the question and answer and update them with new information and has backup ready she is in good standings!

    Hey guys just want to encourage the people looking for jobs, Yes market is tough and even tougher for immigrants... work ethics are quite different from many other countries comparatively!
    One of my previous jobs was to hire a large number of people for seasonal employment. Just an fyi there are many skilled people unemployed at the moment many whom are over qualified. Best thing to land a job is tailor your resume to mirror the job requirements... no one cookie cutter application will not work for various jobs!
    I could go on with this forever... anyways I think someone mentioned this earlier... it is true who you know makes a big impact 70% of jobs are being landed by reference right now. So make connections and use them!
    Feel free to PM me if anyone wants some advice, or assistance in looking over a resume.

    sn530 got a reaction from isa30 in Advantage for Interview with LAWYER   
    I dont think its advisable to take a lawyer to the interview. Its almost like taking a lawyer to buy a car, yes they can read the contract and maybe negotiate a little but all you end up doing is spending unnecessary money and gearing up the agent who is going to interview you to look further into details. If you have nothing to hide there is no reason to have a lawyer present. This process was made so individuals could go through this process without the assistance of a lawyer. So save yourself the money and the headeach that will be created with the need to drag in a lawyer.

    It took us four YEARS from the day my husband proposed to me over the telephone until we were finally married. He attempted to file the paperwork for me immediately, but a very kind USCIS clerk mailed it back to him with the cheque uncashed - you can NOT get a visa until you have physically met in person and have photographic evidence to prove it. All the phone calls and emails and internet meetings in the world don't count in the USCIS's eyes. It was three years before we were able to meet that requirement. The day I arrived back in Australia he filed the paperwork again, and things proceeded smoothly, and relatively quickly aside from a few normal hitches. 12 years later, I'm a US citizen, and here we are happily approaching our 8th wedding anniversary.
