No way for you to expedite this process, sorry. I would contact the airline to see if they will change the departure date for free if need be.

Not being holier than thou but why should your divorce and spousal obligation be any different than if you were divorcing a USC? Life is short. If you're absolutely sure that your marriage is dead and there's no revival then suck it up, cut your losses and move on so you can put this chapter behind you. You don't want to drag this out and prevent you from looking to your future. Wasted years and bitterness is more costly than a few dollars...but yea man it's up to her whether she wants to stay.

Boiler, not specifically at you, but others (I was not going to quote the other responses).
This forum has lots of good info, but one reason I don't post often is the attacks/judgements that come from ppl like HK12 and bowens44.

An insulting comment has been removed, and draconian administrative action has been taken against the offender. Post constructively, or don't post.

Focus on your relationship than the age. This is where I don't understand the constant worry about age gap when everyone says age is just a number. I never once thought/asked about if my interracial marriage to my wife will be a concern for immigration purpose, especially when it's uncommon in my wife's country. I just focused on documenting that we are a real couple.
Think of it this way, if you are worried about age then you will give the CO the same vibe at the interview and you don't want that. Work on showing them that you are in a real relationship, and keep it at that.

I stand corrected, but I thought DHS issued the green card and that is your authorization to work

You complete one Customs Declaration form per family, so if you are a family you go together--husband and wife and go thru the USC and resident line. If you are travelling with your fiancé(e), then I would ask the person directing traffic if the two of you can go together. Since you are not yet a family, two Customs Declarations forms need to be completed and the CBP may separate you.

Here in NYC customs is automated machines for US citizens. When my wife entered the first time we went together to the first time entry line. we went to the customs booth together, they took her fingerprints, took her sealed packet, welcomed her to the USA and we was on our way to baggage claim in had to be about 8 minutes , we actually spent more time at baggage claim than we did at the customs desk.

It's always a good idea to send important papers like that through registered mail, then you log into a website and can see the exact date and time the papers were accepted. That way you know that NVC got your papers. Normally you also get an email from NVC about a week later with your scan date. The scan date shows that your papers have been scanned into their system and that's also the date the "review clock" starts ticking, aka the 30 days.
I haven't gotten any replies on our emails either, I just figured they were ignoring my emails as they had no update but maybe they're still having a technical issue?!?!
When you call NVC, just hang up and redial until you get through. Yesterday, I called at 8 am their time and got through straight away. I was so shocked. But just keep on calling calling calling till you get through because two months without so much as a scan date email don't sound normal. I assume you've done the DS-261 and paid all the fees?!

Just redial until you hear the rings before the message then go through the menu and it should put you on hold.

IMHO, consider calling off the engagement and not marrying him. Your post is filled with scenarios that you believe will make you unhappy. You mention your fiance a couple of times and associated with the expectation of a bad experience. It seems obvious he won't change his lifestyle for you and expects you to make all the concessions. IMHO this is a recipe for a very unhappy marriage.
I don't mean to be insensitive or cruel and I apologize if that's how I sound, but it seems there is nothing in this relationship for you. Pragmatically, people need far more than love to make a happy union.
Good luck whatever your decision.

We all see the 5 month or 6 month mark and get excited... But then 5 months and 6 days go by and we get worried... LOL
My fiancé is from Philippines and I'm a July 2n filer at CSC... Getting a week from 6 months for me and still nothing.

In my profession we are taught to write notes so we know for future incidents.
I'd recommend writing to the USCIS and telling them what occurred. This way, if it happens again the man will have difficulty doing it ever again.
I am sorry for your troubles and I wish you luck in the future.

July 2 filer here.... Nothing heard

With my medical background... I'll say this:
These 2 months of treatment followed by a negative test later, will result in MANY years if happiness and healthy living. Should you be positive and not get the treatment it will truly mean a short life for you.
Be patient, get your treatment and get healthy!!

Deeboe-
It is sad that you have to wait longer... But believe me- that extra time will be worth it to know she is healthy!!
I work in the medical field and I know as a caregiver what is going on in your minds in this matter... But it is SOOOO much better to kick this health issue to the curb ASAP!
I wish you both well... And the best of luck!
I've been to Phil 2 times in the last 10 mints also- I love it there!!! And yes, the cost hits hard but seeing her smile and feeling her touch is worth every penny!

I would stay in the USA until divorce is getting close to finalized. Your GC gives you privilege to travel - don't worry about that. But divorce is harsh as others have stated. If the divorce is filed and you are served with papers while you're gone, that can make a huge difference in the outcome of the divorce.
