I have 3 and will have more. My husband has a half-sleeve + 6 others. LOVE tattoos. Love that very specific pain.

Entirely agree! Note to self: Thou shalt not criticize anyone on VJ.

Actually no, they weren't. Entitlement is everywhere on this site, as is the issue of whenwhenwhen without doing any research.

Yup, that's it, VJ-break time for you--I'm taking you out for a facial!

I'm fed up today too--gonna go clean a client's barn, how's that for fun?!

Agreed. Seems as though the majority of what you post (devilette) is a complaint that people aren't researching before they post. You even have something about that in your signature! Some people are new to message boards...most people are new to immigration law. Let's not scare them away with curt responses. I've seen you called rude many times on VJ. I'm not even sure that you understand how you can be perceived as rude, but I'd say if several other people are noticing it, then maybe you should examine your motives when you post.

If it takes up too much of your time to read their posts, consider moving on and not replying in the first place. Seems reasonable, yes? I'm not trying to make you angry, btw. I just wonder how exciting it is to come to VJ and be the research police.

Thanks for telling me how to post but I'm doing ok. I wasn't aware you were the resident posting police?

I've had that in my siggie forever. No one's complained about it except for one this week & then many people defended me in that thread. Turns out the poster complaining wasn't researching answers, yet when I GAVE THEM THE ANSWER they said I was rude.

No, I don't think I would be considered the resident posting police, but that was cute how I used that and then you did.

Hey, if you're okay with you, then that's all that matters right? I would just think it would be extremely boring to post almost the same thing in multiple threads...almost as annoying when people post the same question over and over and over. I just think it's weird how you do that, like it's your duty or something.

But hey, if that's what you want to do, who am I to say anything about it? I'm just a curious onlooker. Carry on.

Actually no, they weren't. Entitlement is everywhere on this site, as is the issue of whenwhenwhen without doing any research.

...not attending your AOS interview because of Thanksgiving travel plans...I can't believe you would take this so lightly. I can see why they denied you, too. Sorry to sound so harsh, but it's the truth. This is a very serious matter and I don't know why your husband would not be able to make it, but you can't just keep trying to put these interviews off. You must appear when they say, not when it is convenient for you. Now you are denied, so I guess you learned your lesson. At least, I hope so.

Best of luck to you in getting this sorted out.

agreed. no worries.

Congratulations! Best wishes

If you notice my timeline in my signature, we got the EAD way before the interview. I always thought that was how it worked.

Good luck.

Interesting stuff. Hope you had a great time in Canada!

Hooray! Congratulations, enjoy your new status.

Good to know

How long does one have after entering on a K1 to adjust? I have a friend who entered and got married within the 90 days but they never adjusted the status. She has now been here for a year at the end of this month! Can she still adjust?

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60980

I did search but nowhere did I see where someone tried to file an AOS one year after the I-94 expired on the K1. Seems to be a novel topic.

There are threads all over VJ on this topic. Basically, you have to be married within 90 days and then it says to "promptly" file AOS. Your friend can still file. She will have been out of status, but that's okay. It is not a reason to be denied a green card when you are married to a US citizen.

Excellent news! So happy for all of you!

I would say yes. Technically you are free to see an attourney whenever you want. And if you wanted to speak with an immigration officer about it, that, too is your right. You can make an Infopass appt. at www.uscis.gov

And no, they do not send everyone those papers.

But don't worry about being "out of status" for a brief time. Just get that paperwork filed. I'm basically only posting this so you (the OP) won't freak out about being out of status. Those are scary words to hear. The instructions say "file promptly" after getting married within the 90 days. There are conversations about this all over VJ...

I would not tell people it means you're going to be approved without an interview. It could happen, but it doesn't always happen.

Cheers.

OK, OK...

I was more concerned about the delivery confirmation than the overnite issue. We are in Wisconsin and USPS said Priority would probably be there overnight anyway. I'm just waiting for my hubby to get home to go and send them.

By the way, I took pictures of the files we're sending before we put them in the envelope. When I get a chance to edit the photos I'll post them and then you'll see how obsessive and compulsive my husband is!!!

Thanks everyone!

That is too funny.

Best of luck!

What if us, the interviewers brought our own recorder with us, would that be accepable?

I doubt it. It many states it is illegal to tape record or videotape someone without their consent. Not sure if an officer would consent to being recorded. The device may not even get past initial security checks when you first come into the building.

But I can definitely see why someone would want to tape it!

I'm not sure if this helps, but could you get signed statements from people you know, like your parents, close friends, etc., and have them state that you are living together, married and such?

We haven't had the AOS interview yet (though looking at your timeline, I really, really hope it's as quick as yours!), but we were planning on getting those together for the interview as well as pictures and any joint things we might have purchased. I'm also having him resign the lease with me and we're getting a joint bank account.

Signed statements from people who know you to be a true couple are good to have. In our case they were very, very useful. Make sure they are in a sealed envelope with the person's signature across the seal, on their company letterhead (IF ANY, ours was a university professor so it went on uni letterhead), or have it notarised.

Best of luck, don't worry too much!

Wonderful!

We got an RFE for biometrics and one for the medical. We expected that.

In your case, I'm not sure what you sent, but there could just be a small bit of missing evidence. I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you get whatever it is back to them soon and you'll probably be okay.

Good luck.

Unfortunately she never introduced herself to us and I could not find her name anywhere in her office (I looked). She was an older lady of about 60. The other odd comment she made was "Did you start dating him when he was under 18?) huh? She had his birth certificate in front of her and the dates that we met, got married, etc. He is already in his late 20's.

One more thing I noticed, she removed the I-94 from his passport. Does that mean anything?

Many times the I-94 is removed from the passport. But I think usually they tell you why they are removing it.

She was just too rude to function.

I feel sorry for that lady. So many people are so prejudice against fat people. It's not right.

And yes, message boards do lead some people to post extremely rude things because at the end of the day it's like it never happened. Who remembers it 5 years from now??? Well....if the person that gets hurt is extremely sensitive, that's who. Sensitive people should stay off message boards. Yep.

As a therapist-to-be I feel I must chime in with what I've learned in school, for what it's worth. And that is: suicide is the ultimate selfish act and a good therapist will try to help their patient see why that is and how their death would affect those around them, thus bringing them back to the now and hopefully getting them to realise why they should live (family, friends, etc.) It's not a cruel technique at all and it's not judging. I know the word "selfish" seems harsh, but when you examine it, how is suicide not selfish? You are giving up on your life when you must know it will hurt so many others. GRANTED, some people do not have the capacity to know it will hurt others, and that's where the word selfish does not apply.

Since this man had possible brain damage from a car accident, his behaviour may have completely changed, as can often happen when people are in car crashes. It's really sad to see.

That's awful.

If it were attention he truly wanted, he would not have killed himself. He would have "tried" to kill himself. This guy died. End of attention, or I should say, knowledge of attention.

Also, any of those people could have stopped watching him at any moment with the click of a button.

Ew.
