    I think with DCF and a low fraud embassy, it will not matter much. You can go to the interview together and you can bring more evidence then. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Kaylara reacted to Pinkrlion in USC on deathbed, Filipina wife on CR1 Visa... Need some advice..   
    If daughter went to court, she is not POA, but was given by the courts legal guardianship. There is a difference. Legally daughter has the right over the wife as determined by the judge. There is nothing she can do about it unless she gets a lawyer. In addition, judge still can appoint someone else the legal guardian.
    Daughter believes it is fraud due to huge age difference of about 35+ years. Also, that she still came when she knew he was in a nursing home.
    That is not true about school, the child can still enroll in school. Federal law states that any chid whether illegal or not can be enrolled in school without the school mandating records or proof of residency. Its the McKinney-Vento Act
    Regardless, she can still ROC, she has been issued her GC.

    Kaylara reacted to Hypnos in USC on deathbed, Filipina wife on CR1 Visa... Need some advice..   
    The government of the Philippines is unlikely to be much help now that she is out of their jurisdiction and living in the US.
    As Boiler said, she already has a green card because she entered on an immigrant visa which grants a green card automatically upon entry. Provided she's paid the $165 immigrant visa fee through ELIS then her physical green card should arrive in the mail in a few weeks. In the meantime the endorsed immigrant visa in her passport will serve as temporary proof of a green card for up to one year.
    The daughter's power of attorney is going to make things a little complicated. A good attorney's assistance will probably be needed to resolve estate issues after the husband passes away.
    She will need to file for RoC at the appropriate time, and will need a certified copy of her husband's death certificate for that.

    She has her GC as soon as she entered.

    Kaylara reacted to AustinCanada in NVC Filers - August 2014   
    Dude, I have an idea for you. Why don't you apply for an expedite for a medical reason?
    Before you send an email to NVC applying for an expedite, you want to see a counselor or psychologist to get a letter stating how mentally unstable you are now and you need your wife's support ASAP. Then, you can scan the letter and attach it with your email to apply for an expedite.
    I hope it works. Even if it doesn't work, you'll get to talk to a mental health professional so you'll feel better (I hope!). Fingers crossed!

    My friend is your family not worth waiting for? You know they are and would be lost without you so just take a deep breath and know in the end you will be together for ever and be annoying each other until your both toothless. So these are the memories that will make your love stronger not weaker. I two will be celebrating my 3 ed wedding anniversary Oct 16 Th without the love of my life. But I wont give up no matter how long it takes because I wont let them win. I refuse to allow them to tear us apart. They lose we win now be strong we can do this! But in a loving way.

    No! Please don't say you want to die (again)! I really hope you're joking!
    Can you fly to India to see your wife? If not, can you two spend some time together in a country where you both can go?
    I also suggest that you talk to your friends and family and possibly a counselor.

    Hi there! I filled in the information of the Amsterdam consulate, except for the contact person, which I didn't know. Left that line blank. The gemeente said the accompanying letter from the USCIS that I printed and gave them was enough evidence that the consulate was really requesting my police certificate.
    Good luck!

    I am a July 2013 Filer, and my journey is finally complete
    My process was pretty straightforward for my wife, but was a lot more complicated for my step-son. We obtained the visas in May of 2014, but we did not have the biological father's consent to travel (for my step-son). Through much drama, enduring, and lots and lots of praying, we finally obtained the consent from a judge just a few days before my step-son's visa expired. My wife had visited me in September just in case so she wouldn't lose her visa, but they both finally travelled on October 15th and are now home.
    The only small problem we ran into was in Peru at the check-in counter. The American Airlines attendant was not aware that my wife could travel with just the visa stamp (since she has not yet received her green card). It took about 30 minutes but the attendant was able to confirm with some immigration office that my wife would be able to enter the US with just the stamp on her passport.
    I want to thank everyone who has selflessly supported and continue to support each of us throughout this process.. I namely remember Saylin and NLR, and of course, all of my fellow July 2013 Filers. Without the VJ community, there would have been a lot more stress involved. Thanks everyone!!

    Kaylara reacted to LoveMyTico in Helpless situation   
    My lawyer filled out our AOS incorrectly and I was beyond furious. I sent the corrected AOS myself 2 days after I realized he sent the incorrect AOS after I begged him to make corrections before sending. I did end up getting a checklist for the incorrect AOS but thank god my corrected version was only scanned 2 days later. I feel like you have to stay on top of the lawyers AND NVC. Saylin's WIKI really helped me. Hanging out on the NVC thread was really helpful too. Just being able to see when others were getting CC's eased my mind. The more you read , the more you educate yourself. Most people who hire a lawyer, either complain that the lawyer made many mistakes and/or the lawyer worked slower than molasses. Mine did both. I ended up doing the whole NVC myself.
    If it makes you feel better... Call NVC several times and ask the same questions. I used to call 3 times a day. Calling them saved me valuable time.
    There are some veterans who hang out on the October NVC thread. I am sure there are a few who had multiple people being processed and can ease your mind. Go over to that thread and post this question. SAYLIN has been around for many years and has seen many different situations.
    Good Luck..

    You might also want to see if your husband's congressmen can do something. Asking their office for assistance has helped other members, especially if you plead your story correctly.
    I would read all about the NVC process here on VJ, especially Saylin's wiki here and try to review all the material that your lawyer is sending. It looks like many lawyers make simple mistakes that could end up costing you another 60 days. If you notice a mistake, you can be proactive and send the corrected material/forms without waiting to receive the checklist.
    Finally, call NVC and ask for a supervisor review. The representatives who answer the calls are only call center workers who don't actually review your file. From what I've read, supervisors are very good at calling back and helping to get things in order. I certainly think a supervisor review is justified given the amount of time you've already waited.
    You could always try to get an expedite, but that might make things even more separated and lost! In any case, good luck to you. Keep your head up!

    Kaylara got a reaction from Maya&Matt in Please Help- Pregnant and US Husband cheated   
    Screwing another woman is not a "mistake". Unless they were walking around naked and he accidentally tripped and fell on the other woman... over and over again. On multiple occasions. That "boys will be boys" ####### doesn't fly. Men should be responsible for their own actions. That's not hateful, it's called being an adult.
    He chose to cheat. He chose to be abusive. He doesn't deserve another chance. No forgiveness. No second chances. Why should she continue to give a man who has been cheating on her during the entirety of her relationship and now has become abusive, more chances to cheat and abuse her? Forget that. She needs to take care of herself and her unborn child. If he'd cared about his wife or child, he never would have behaved like this in the first place. It's not HER job to fix what HE broke.
    Oh, and you're entirely wrong. I'd leave my husband in a flash if he behaved like that towards me, and he's probably be limping from the encounter. AND I'd make sure he didn't get the kids. AND I'd still get alimony and child support. (Dutch laws!) I also get half of everything that we own.
    When I was living in NL, I found out that a friend's husband had cheated on her, and was talking about it with my husband. My friend just kept giving her husband chances, and he just kept on cheating on her, sneaking around, and when caught, trying to blame my friend for his cheating because "Sometimes you're not very nice to me." My husband was horrified. I was livid. I told him that if he'd done that to me, he'd find all of his in the mud puddle in the front yard and I'd take him for every cent I could. He said "I never expected anything less."
    Anyone who thinks they can treat their spouse like that doesn't deserve to have their spouse anymore.
    OP, good luck with getting back to Australia, and I'm sorry that you're going through this. I'm glad that your family is coming to help you. In the meantime, do you have anyone else you can stay with? If he's started being abusive, I fear that it will escalate the closer your departure date comes. Being heavily pregnant, and having ended the relationship puts you at an much increased risk for physical violence from him. If you start feeling like you might be in danger, don't ignore that feeling. Just get out. You don't owe an explanation to anyone.
