    My hubby

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Guven arrived on March 28th. Everything is going well! He was hired for a job after his first month here as a laundry attendant. He wants to join the navy after he conquers English. Things are going good! I can't believe it. I mean I was single for 35 years and had lived alone for 10 years so I was scared. However, we get along very well! I hope everyone experiences the same when their spouse comes over. Good luck to all and I just wanted to give an update :)

    I need help.

    Hi everyone, so we received Guven's ssn in the mail yesterday. I decided to file our taxes today and Turbo Tax says our return is rejected due to name and number not matching. What should I do? Is there a wait time for the ssn to become effective? Thanks!!

    We were chosen for AP. They wanted more photos, emails, phone logs, and documentation showing "in kind" support. We had submitted a years worth of emails (80 pages), 15 photos, 3 months of phone logs and no "in kind" support because I support myself and his mother supports him. The only way to go was with the affidavits. They stated they are processing our information and they sent back his passport. If I had known I was going to marry him four years ago, I would have saved everything I ever had with him. However, I was living and travelling through Turkey and I dated him for 6 months. I did not know it would develop into this and I didn't even know anything about this process until I started this last year. I HATE this!! Thank you all for letting me vent!

    Can anyone guestimate??

    the percentage of visas that are approved if they are put on AP? Guven has been on AP now for 35 days (yes, I know it could be longer). I emailed them if they received our affidavits and today they sent an email saying they received them and are processing them. I am so ready for the hubby to be here with me. I would not wish this process on an enemy. I hope everyone is doing well and their journeys turn out positively!!

    I need your help :(

    Thanks for the wishes! Well, I had emails going back to 2010 but he said it was not enough. I am hoping his computer has been automatically saving our chats and that would help us so much! I contacted the DOS and asked them if I could submit statements beginning when I lived in Turkey from people who knew us and our relationship from beginning to present (they said yes!). I also emailed the consolate to tell them I am able to fly out there if they need to interview me. Soooooo, heads up, try and get some photos of you both together. This is just a nightmare. I cried so much this morning! Now, my head is clearing and I am deciding how to handle business :)

    We received AP today. They want older documentation. Guven gave them 60 pages of emails (1 year old), 10 photos (I am not a photo person. Never have been, and probably never will be), and five months of call logs. I did not keep emails or phone records prior to this because I did not know this would be needed. He was a boyfriend I had while I was in Turkey for six months that I did not know I would 3 years later marry. I called MSN to see if they saved messenger chat logs, they do not. I called ATT to see if they have my phone records from the last 2 or 3 years. They stated they only go back 6 months. I truly do not know what to do. I wrote my congressman, Obama, and Biden but I know nothing will stem from that. I wrote the embassy and now I am just waiting. I am seriously crushed and I need help!

    How did everyone meet their special one?

    I am just curious. I moved to southeastern Turkey for a teaching position. My new boss put me into a guesthouse. My husband was part of the housekeeping staff. He was the only person there that was genuinely nice to me. I moved into my own place and we hung out daily, watching movies, listening to music and just talking( He is now learning to speak English but he taught me Turkish). After dating for 6 months, I left this city because my boss was starting to pay us extremely late (2 or 3 weeks late and just throwing 30 dollars here or there to shut us up). I went back to Istanbul for a year and me and my husband continued to talk then I moved back to the States. We continued to talk and decided we should be together. Neither of us were interested in anyone else and really want to spend our lives together. We got married in January in last year and his appointment is on the 30th (my b-day, I hope they put it on this day for a reason :)). I am intrigued to here how others met and how they decided their person is the "one" they want to be with.

    help... Im depressed now..

    I haven't replied to any of these threads and I have been reading them for days. However, just telling an individual to go home kind of sickened me. I moved to Turkey for a man (it did not work out, he left me to go to "work" my 4th week there). Before I left, my stepmother told me that I would be home in 2 months. I had a pride I had to uphold. I was raped in Istanbul my sixth month there. I wanted to leave but I was ashamed that my stepmother would be correct and I would come home like a dog with my tail in between my legs. My friend (female), encouraged me to stay in Turkey. I went to the southeastern region. I met my husband there. One of the most wonderful people I have met in my life. I stuck it out. Sometimes home is not the answer. I am sorry but sometimes, you have to prove to others and yourself you are strong enough to make it in a foreign land. I stayed in Turkey for 2 and 1/2 years. I moved back to the States because Turkey is too different for me. However, if someone is comfortable in a place they are in and want to stick it out. I say more props to 'em and good luck!!!

    I am obsessing while waiting for the appointment date to be set!!!

    I appreciate all of your responses! I was feeling like such a weirdo! My husband's name is Guven and we have not seen each other since we were married in January. It didn't bother me until now. I guess because we are so close but the uncertainty is killing me. I have been trying to watch movies and kill time. However, I have a 2 week paid holiday when the college I work for closes down for Xmas and I was sooooooooo thinking his interview would be before then but... dang it :(I don't think so.... I have a question. How did you all do this?? I am married and I feel single. I don't cheat or anything like that but I envy everyone that is with their spouse and I feel insane for waiting it out. Almost a year without him and I am still alone :( I am just so confused at this point. I want him here, I love him, and talk to him weekly with daily phone calls and emails but I don't feel married

    I have kept my cool during this whole process except now!! This is the most difficult part for me. I have never realized I have an obsessive personality until this part of the process. I am now calling the NVC 2-3 times a day! Am I the only one that has called the NVC this much while waiting?? I wish I could call all day long to see if they have done anything with my file (but I must work) :D
