All I can say is WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD, Congratulations

I'm sorry to hear you're stuck in the decision for 2 days now. Don't lose faith, I'm sure in no time it will change to card production! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

After 30days make info pass and if u don't get answer make Service request..that's what i did until they update my case

God has blessed America with a Christian President over a Mormon. America is saved from the clutches if satan again. Hallelujah!

If God wanted Romney to win, he would have. But obviously God favors Obama. That much is clear. Rejoice, for God has spoken.

Thank You Amen to that! Everything will be fine for both of us as long as we keep faith!

I'd like to thank everyone on VJ who has helped(especially Ibee, Mrs. Gore and my August AOS filers family)me in one way or another in this process. I had my interview yesterday at the Holtsville office, interview was initially scheduled for 12:45pm but we weren't called in until about1:35pm. We were escorted to the office by a white female in her mid to late 50s. When we got into her office she asked us to remain standing until after she swear us in. After we were sworn in, se asked my husband fir his ID AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE and me my passport old and new. She looked at my husband's ID and right away the issues started because my husband's ID still states his old addres(my husband is the biggest procrastinator in the world). She looked at his ID then at our file and asked him where does he live he responded with our current address. She asked him so why does your ID say XYZ(old address) he responded because I'm a procrastinator and fr the longest while my wife asked me to change it and I kept dragging my feet. She told him "that has nothing to do with her cuz by law he has 10 days to notify the government of his change of address and according to your file its been more than 6 months since you've been living at your current address so you had more than enough time to get it done. I was like oh boy here we go, I was pissed as hell cause I've been asking begging even my husband to get his ID updated, every time we have an argument (even before we were married) its about his procrastination. He was like I'm sorry, she was like don't tell me you're sorry do you realize that you're in a federal building technically lying to a federal agent because here you are telling me that you live at so and so but your ID say something else?
Then she turned to me and she said so I see here that you lost your I-94? I said yes ma'am. She asked did you get a replacement, I said no ma'am but I do have a FOIA report with my I-94# and the name of the officer who inspected (basically my entire arrival record) me. She said to me we can't accept that, there's a form for this on our website that you needed to file and we'd send a replacement. So I started to explain to her why I did it that way and she wasn't interested. She said you really cut corners with this, you went around the whole process of obtaining the replacement. She picked up my passport to look at my visa and she said to herself " and you were only issued a 3 month visa, that's interesting I wonder why. At this point I said to myself I'm definitely not getting approved today.
Then she turned her attention back to my husband and asked him whether he has met any of my family members, he answered yes my grandmother and my aunt. She asked how about her parents have you met them? He said No, she asked why not he said because they're back in her country. She asked him whether he's visited my country he said No. She then said to him so why didn't you visit them they're your in-laws. He said because my wife wouldn't be able to go with me. She asked him so why don't they come up here to visit, I would imagine that they'd like to meet their daughter's husband? So he said I don't know I would imagine that they'd have to go through a process like my wife did and obtain a visa. She said to him so what your wife got a visa it shouldn't be that hard for her patents to get one. My husband just went quiet, I could tell he felt so defeated he had no idea he to respond to her. Before he got with me he didn't know anything about the immigration system(he still doesn't know). At this point the poor boy is so flustered, I looked at him and he was as pale as a ghost. She then asked him what was the reason your wife came to the U.S he said she did occasional babysitting in his mind he heard what has she been doing? She then said I see.
She turned back to me and said well Mrs. Jordan I must tell you that the burden of proof is on you. You must prove to me that this relationship is real and give me a reason to want to approve this petition. Did you bring me any proof today? I said yes and took it out the folder and handed it to her( lease, bank statement, utility bills). She asked whether I had any pictures to show her? I handed her our (small) album and she asked me do I know his family. I told her yes, I've met his mom and sisters (even lived with them) and showed her pictures with us hanging around the house for our weekend family/game nights. She then said she had to do a background check and we'd find out later today or at some point whether we were approved if everything checked out. She inserted some stuff into her computer then turned back to me and asked did you go to college? I said yes ma'am but not up here back in my country. She asked what did you study I said computer science with a minor in child psychology and electrical engineering. She asked do you work? I said occasional babysitting. She asked would you like to work? I said absolutely. She asked doing what? I said either a physical or occupational therapist for kids with special needs. She smiled at me and said you're all over the place. I said I know have to keep my options opens. She asked me whether my husband and I had any plans to travel. My husband(finally getting his tongue back) said he'd love for us to go to Mexico since our 2yr anniversary is coming up and it'd be our honeymoon also
She then said I'm going to approve your case so you guys can go take a trip. Enjoy your honeymoon and you go get a job and help kids. I couldn't believe my ears. What started of seeming to be a nightmare turned out for the best in the end. She said that we were gonna have to sit out in the waiting room while she updated the system and she's going to put the seal in my passport so I could leave the country and get my SS#. She explained how i need to go about with the ROC, she shook our hands and said have a great day and welcome to America

First You need to go to the DMV and pick the handle book for the permit...study it and get prepare for the test. The test is about 30 questions, and you fail either 5...i am not sure on that...but the learning permit is good for 0ne year and during this period you have three chances to take behind the wheel test...i passed on the 3rd. It is all about nervousness and following the rule of the road...stopping completely at stop sign...giving right of way and taking right of way....stop completely at red light look fro coming traffic in all direction before making a right turn...in california you can make a right turn on red light but you have to stop completely and see if upcoming traffic permit you to turn before taking the turn. So, just walk into the nearest DMV and pick the handle and study all the signal and go online and try the test before going in to take it...Search DMV california and get more info. Hope this will guide you.

You can schedule an appointment online if you don't want to wait forever-never in line. Bring all required documents with you. Here's the link; https://www.dmv.ca.gov/foa/clear.do?goTo=officeVisit&localeName=en
36 questions on the test. You'll have to read in the manual to know how many questions are about signs and how many are about general driving and traffic rules.
Yes you can as long as you bring required documents with you. When applying for state ID for the first time, please don't underestimate which documents are needed. These are explained in the California driver handbook on page 2 and 3.

hang in there sweety. My prayers are with you

My husband's grandfather had 6 divorces under his belt.
There was a catch tho - they were all from the same woman

why do the US citizens always claim marriage fraud because the marriage didnt work out.Think about you could have been married to another US citizen and the marriage didnt work too,so then what would you have said.
This thing is getting too ridiculous with these US citizens.Why cant you say you all had a good time while it last.Some of these same US citizens go to the other countries and fool around with them and make a fool of them and they havent been complaining.As long you've been married to a US citizen and they did your papers and it happen that it didnt work out,you hear that it was a scam.What about the alien who continue to be treated cruel for years,even before and after marriage and still cant prove it to the officals because lacking of evidence.
Seems like its all about the US citizens and some of them want you to clean their #### or they report that you defrauded them for a Greencard.
Im so tired of hearing them complain about fraud when its them who are defrauding people because they have one over the alien.
There is a saying that you can do as much as you want but not as long as you want.Its time these US sposes stop crying FOWL.

Thank you... I will definitely count my blessings before the interview.... I'm not sure if is the expedite request that helped. But for sure God listened to my prayers yesterday.... Now a different kind of stress....lol....
