My daughter has been going to school here in mexico since she was 3. Is it too late for her to start kindergarten in the USA? Is there any official papers we need to bring to the USA to prove she went to school here in Mexico? We are moving to the USA Oct 17th and my daughter is 5. 

I don't think so if she qualifies, but best to contact the school district about their policy. Usually its about the age of the child when they turn 5 years old to start K. My kids needed to be 5 before September.

When my wife first got here, I brought her to a few buffets as they don't have them in her home country. It's interesting for folks to experience if you've never been to one. She said those places would be out of business if they had one at her country.

I always went to a buffet while in the service for lunch, whether it be pizza, BBQ, Thai, Mexican, and Chinese. Now that I'm older, I don't need the extra calories.

Why can't you be added to your husband's health insurance? Is it through his employer? if so, marriage is a qualifying event.

That's at least some good news from your husband.

My wife went to a birthing center for our two boys. Insurance picked up the bulk of the bill. I think I paid $600 for the 3 night stay for our first son as he had complication, and our 2nd son was just $200. The contracted bill was over $15k and $12k that the insurance paid back in 2013 and 2015. Both delivery were all natural birth (my wife had epidural done both times), so I don't know what the cost would have been if it was a C-section.

Overall care was great, my wife had her own birth room and recovery room. Pretty much everything was taken care during her stay there. Security is tight as the baby is kept in moms room and electronic monitoring.

From 90 day fiancé: the other way, another couple is no more if true.

"Evelin, who is currently in her native Ecuador, shocks fans when she takes to Instagram Stories to share that she is blocked by her former fiance who celebrated his birthday recently."

State By State

My mother is a midwife in the UK with over 30 years of experience. In the UK almost all births are attended by midwives, doctors only if a C-section is required. Midwives in the UK are qualified differently to here (it requires a degree - all told my mother spent 7 years in a combination of university and "on-the-job training" before she was qualified) but I understand that midwives here are not as medically trained and it's not much different from an unassisted birth. That would concern me here, especially for a first-timer.

 

My mother has attended hundreds of home births over time and there's no way she would have even considered allowing a woman to birth or labour in a pool like that. How did they keep the water warm? How did they keep it clean? And what happened to her rhesus factor? I didn't see the baby being tested. If the baby is Rh positive she will need another shot right away. No time for lounging on the bed and saying how cute he is.

 

I was also disturbed by how they said (more than once) that they hope the baby will mend or improve their relationship. That is NOT a reason to have a baby.

Not sure if that's state dependent in regards on how one becomes a midwife. Both midwife my wife had for our two boys were nurses. One was actually pursuing her PHD.

He did end up going to Mexico, and the victim is in protective custody. The judge is a moron, and it's going to cost the public more in $$$$$.

So sanctuary cities/counties are good?  Maybe if they had cooperated with ICE.....

 

A rapist was released from jail on the promise he’d return to Mexico

What makes it worse is that he's homeless, so they really expect him to report back on the June 25th deadline.

The legal system failed the victim in so many ways.

You can defer it to another date within a year (allowed to do this up to 2 times - based on King County, WA). I had to due to my kids school schedule conflicting. It also helps that my employer pays me for jury duty. When I did a deferral, I was able to select the date of my jury duty based on what was available that month.

Very few exceptions to get excused, can't read/understand English is the most common excuse I see being used. Basically gets you off the mailing for jury duty. One of the juror was in my pool and the judge dismissed her for lack of understanding English and funny thing is she wanted to serve. Trying to get out of the jury pool isn't as easy as it sounds. The judge can/will grill you why you can't postpone such event.

There's enough issues going on in California, what about their huge homeless population. They cannot even take care of their own legal resident, but got funds for this. Someone's priority is messed up.

We did K1 visa path. We arrived to US, got married, I went to my employer to let them know (life changing event) and added her to my health insurance. Did the same thing when we had kids.

What's your wife's current status in the US? I'm guessing she/you haven't applied for permanent residency yet as you just got married. Until she applies, she won't have the document that qualifies her to use the marketplace.

Immigrants with the following statuses qualify to use the Marketplace.

It's been a long time, but I'll ask my wife as she had all her Belarusian documents translated by a 3rd party in Belarus. I think she used a government translator, but I'll get an answer tonight. Warsaw wasn't a difficult embassy back then, not sure what's it like now.

What visa did your friend get here on (or is he not in the US yet)? Sounds like your are talking about the I-864. When he gets permission to work, the money he earns will count toward the household income which may affect his wife's government assistance (it depends the assistance she is receiving).

OP please clarify a few things. Your wife still has her GC right? If so, has she been using that when going back and forth between the two countries? I guess she could just try to get back into the US" permanently" with the GC and hope CBP doesn't grill her (as it's up to them whether they let her in or not).

I'm trying to figure out if she needs to file the SB-1 visa in the first place. I agree with other in regards to the reason if you need to file the SB-1 as a stretch beyond one's control. It's been almost 7 years.

The embassy in Phnom Penh allows the petitioner to be inside, but it's at the CO discretion if they allow both at the window. 

 

Not a dowry, she is an architect there, but still only makes around $400 USD per month, so in my eyes it was to help support her. To me, it was showing we are a couple in love. I didn't start sending her money until we were a year or so into our relationship. And she never asked for it, I just did it. 

 

And it wasn't just a quick few month relationship and file.  It was a year and a half after we first started talking I went to visit her and proposed. 

My wife only made $400/month as a teacher. To each their own, but my take on it is that she survived before meeting me so she didn't need my support. I guess what folks probably question on (or maybe just me) is why send anything prior to meeting up with the person first. It can cause issues in the future.

I'm not sure if that embassy allows you to be at her interview, but something to explore as well. Sending money before meeting is odd, was that some form of dowry?

Well what are you going to do different to address this issue? You will run into the same issue at the interview stage if nothing has changed.
