48? Are you saying Hawaii and Alaska aren't allowed until you have Advanced Parole?

You can travel to Hawaii and Alaska. The poster who said this is wrong. Even Puerto Rico is allowed.

Your last post makes it clear to me that you haven't an ounce of humility to even admit that you did something wrong. Rather, you insist on making your case against a "broken system."

Good luck with the lawyer, they'll say anything to get your money.

As for their living here illegally, they were not; they came here with tourist visas, so they were living here legally. The only problem was her going to school. If they were given a 6-month permit and returned before the 6 months, it is not living here illegally.

Understand that you believe that this is a technicality, and to some degree, it is. But, you enrolled her in a school, you must provide a residence, here in the US, in the school district. Therefore, to us, and more importantly, Consular officers, they were living in the US.

Good luck with the waiver.

Also, you seem to be a sharp guy. Understand that language can have a tremendous impact on things. Think like a lawyer, somebody cannot live in the US with a tourist visa. A tourist visa is for visiting, meaning that you come for an allotted period of time, visit, and then return to your residence, in your country.

Catch my drift?

Married. Marriage certificate says "New Surname: ***** ". Went to SS office, changed social security card with new surname. Filed AOS with new surname. After, she received her EAD, we went to the DMV and got a state ID card with the new surname. GC with new surname.

I will stop calling it new surname, because it is now my wife's surname.

CBP rarely hires people for their intelligence.

There are idiot doctors, idiot lawyers, idiot politicians, idiot law enforcement officers, and surprise surprise, idiot CBP officers. Doesn't mean that they are all idiots. Don't generalize. These people keep our borders safe. Do you keep our borders safe?

OP, it sucks that you were treated like that. But you know what, when I travel abroad, I keep my pride down and answer questions respectfully to the immigration officer. Keep doing what you did in the future.

I love the blunt answers to questions like this one.

No.

It seems that you haven't left any wiggle room. You never know what may happen. Flight could be delayed, weather, police activity. You never know. I advise you to arrive a day before, splurge on the hotel, and you can leave your luggage there.

Don't get married. Women are nuts, yes, but this seems completely out of line. Either send her back home or have her leave your home. You don't need crazy in your life. Again, don't get married. It does seem like she's using you.

Glad you were able to resolve the problem. Guayaquil truly is a hell hole.

Congrats guys. Weird that they made him wait outside. I was allowed in immediately.

Yea, I don't understand how people send money on a monthly basis for food. How did she eat before? Makes no sense.

Dude, withdraw and move on with your life. You don't need crazy in your life, be it from her or her ex-boyfriend.

Huh?

Gracias and bless you, Dear. After 5+ years, I'm still planning to write an after-visa complaint about what went on there. They need to be given a chicharron, si man.

But chicharron is a good thing! Crispy pork skin, mmmmmm.

Maybe you meant chichón? That's a bump in the head. Bump.

Congrats! Glad it went well.

How did it go?

It could be a problem at the consular stage. Time spent together in person carries a lot of weight in the eyes of the consul.

Like TBone said, it could be a problem at the interview, but it's country specific. USCIS will approve your petition because you satisfied their requirement, the consulate can ask more at the interview and not be satisfied with just one meeting.

Before you forcibly evict the brother (ie. change locks, cutting off utilities, remove belongings in front yard), find out the law says. In New York State it is illegal to forcibly evict a tenant that has been living in the dwelling for over 30 days. Even if he is not paying rent. The landlord can be arrested for doing this. They deserve their due process through landlord and tenant court.

Find out the laws for Michigan.

Take care of yourself, go home.

I'll add also that I had a stroke back in December. My wife arrived in July of '12. It was very difficult for her, but she managed, but then again, she didn't have the extra negatives towards her like you have.

Don't just read the VJ guides, read the INSTRUCTIONS that accompany the forms on the USCIS website. All the answers are there, VJ helps with the rest.

Take it easy. Look at my time line.

sigh,

I never thought this would ever happen, but it did.

long story short, got into an argument with the missus, she got really loud and the cops showed up.

I was not taken into custody or none of that, neither was she.

she called to say sorry and i believe its over but i decided to go over to my uncle's for a few days, or weeks.

I just want to know if things like this( arguments, cops, me being away) will have some kind of negative impact on the process.. i already have an AOS interview.

Was a report taken by the police? I ask because in some states, just the fact that the police showed up would make it a domestic incident.

Cool off, make sure she is calm, talk about it. And try to go out for dinner or something, forget about this mess, and keep pushing forward.

The first card should be for two years. You should call and explain the mistake. They made the mistake, not you. My wife got her card, and it expires 7/26/15.

Indeed. Hahaha.

I was able to renew my passport via mail. The cat only got some pages, the page with the info was intact, so the clerk at the post office said it can still be renewed via mail. If it had been the page with the info that was mangled, then I would've had to renew in person.

In cat news, we are cat-sitting my best friend's cat while they go on their honey moon. This guy is bulimic! So I expect to clean up quite a bit of barf.
