i dunno - there's an international university in Korea that has lots of companies chasing its graduates. A path to USA Citizenship is limited - what is your plan for her to acquire citizenship ?

I don't know what my path is yet. I don't necessarily want her to gain U.S citizenship I'd just like it if she could get out of the Philippines since the economy is so dismal. I'm just trying to gain as much knowledge as possible so I can be of the most help to her. Can you tell me what international university chases its graduates? This sounds like a promising lead.

My niece was the top student in her school and scored in the top one percent of her class on the national test. I'm hoping she could get a job with a U.S company. She certainly has the intelligence. I will definitely get her tutoring in English and try to get her into a good school. She's in a high school right now that won't let her communicate with family members or friends. Once a month one of the nuns tells her mother that she is doing "ok". I know it's a different culture but I think this is child abuse. I wouldn't have waited till she graduated from high school but I can't let this go on. It's just wrong.

My wife's neice was the valedictorian of her grade school and I'm considering paying for her education in the Philippines. Once she graduates high school I'm considering paying for her college tuition on the U.S. Would that be possible? My goal is for her to become a US citizen. Any suggestions?

You shouldn't overlook the possibility that a 10 day "visit" could turn into an indefinate stay. I'm not saying that is the case but that kind of thing happens quite often.

I didn't go to my wife's interview and when my now wife couldn't answer a question about my finances she was put in AP. This caused us a great deal of stress and anguish. It was one of the darkest periods of my life. We didn't even know if she would be approved.. I'm sure if I was there during the interview that wouldn't have happened. I strongly suggest you attend. Especially since it is Tunisia.

I don't know how his allergies would effect you unless you have a cat or dog and he can't live with them. I am a huge fan by the way!

A Stokes Interview is when you are separated and asked questions so that they can compare your answers and generally see how well you know your spouse. You won't know you have a Stokes interview until that happens.

Japan is a low fraud country. Statistically, you stand to have fewer problems because of this. In MENA countries being put into AP is extremely common. Unless you have some real red flags you shouldn't have much to worry about.

"Did it not come to you that i was probably forced to marry her by threatening me that she will have me deported if i disagree? I am obviously an illegal and having to live a life like this for years of course i would fear getting deported. Are you being one sided in this story?"

You were "probably" forced to marry? So you are telling us that your now wife, made you marry her with the threat that if you didn't, she would report you to immigration? And a woman that was that possessive would be OK with you and her living apart and "technically" not having a real relationship? Your story doesn't really add up. It's a fascinating tale though, I'll admit that.

"I also want to say that, remarrying my lady was out of the option in the first place, but as me and my lady tried to do researches together on how i can keep myself stay here or make myself protected on deportation even if my wife reports me, puts her on offering me marriage if we found no other ways, and of course i'd agree with it because technically speaking, me and my wife had nothing to begin with except for phone communications and a title of being in a relationship. But physical company and the feeling of not being alone was done by my lady here, and all stuffs we did in so little time that did not happen even between me and my girlfriend before of more than 2 years."

So you have admitted that you didn't have a real relationship with your wife. How is that not fraud? Also, does she think you tricked her into marrying her for a green card? I wish your wife all the best.

At the very minimum you should cut up your credit cards and make sure your wife doesn't have access to them in the future. Paying 20 percent compounded interest on a long term debt is one of the worst financial decisions one could make.

An attorney will do more than take your money! They will slow down the process by performing as an unnecessary intermediary. Your documents could sit on an attorney's desk for a couple of weeks before he even gets to it. Meanwhile, you could have done everything yourself. Also, if they are incompetent they can make mistakes that further delay your case, or worse. Most questions you have can easily be found on this site. What can't can be answered by our team of free experts! I really appreciate this site!

Again you are referring to Philippine law.

I am not disagreeing with you in regards to what is legal or not legal there. I am disagreeing with you because you don't understand the concept of US sovereignty within the US embassy.

You see, when you are at the US embassy, you are on US soil. You are not in the Philippines anymore. Philippine laws do not apply at the US embassy, only US laws.

Whatever result for her medical the PHILIPPINE LAW MUST APPLY!!

I'm not really sure what you mean.

Next time he puts his hands on you call the police. Then you will have evidence to make a VAWA claim. Don't let this man bully and manipulate you into going home. Also, find out where there may be a woman's shelter where you can stay in safety. You can get help there.

The most important thing besides gathering evidence of your wife's duplicity is finding the right lawyer. If you habitually visit this site you will see how much damage an incompetent attorney can do.

IMO that's almost as bad as somebody using a USC to obtain a greencard. She's not his child who needs to abide by his wishes in order to be rewarded. She's a human being.

I agree. I'm just commenting on the situation as described. Of course I think she should be able to work. My wife can't wait to get her EAD card and I wouldn't dream of trying to prevent her from working. However, this is something we talked about before we got married!

The "influence" might be preventing or delaying the wife from getting a green card if she doesn't give into his wishes. This is not a small matter and something she needs to consider.

Click on the processing times link near the upper left corner to see how long it takes to get a green card in your area. If your green card interview is waived it is likely to take longer. I'd be looking for my work authorization card first. It usually comes before your green card (if you applied for it).

Have you talked to your spouse about your intentions? I have been married for only a couple of months but can't imagine divorcing my wife under any circumstances so quickly. Is it just so you won't be liable for her financially? Since she is already working is this a valid concern? I just feel bad for her.

I have never heard of anyone providing DNA samples but it makes perfect sense to me. Just because they didn't ask for it doesn't mean they wouldn't accept it.

I wonder if you can provide DNA samples to prove that you are not blood relations if that is what they believe.

If you can demonstrate extreme financial hardship you might be able to get your EAD expedited. Here is a link discussing the topic in more detail.

If your fiancee has a problem reading or understanding documents and is not detail oriented it might be better if he has a friend or family member verify everything. One mistake can get you an RFE. It just doesn't take missing documents.

Having four people living in a one bedroom could be a violation of your lease if you are a renter. It may also be impossible to add them to the lease if your landlord won't permit it.
