    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Villanelle in Multiple long visits on ESTA VWP How long before i can go back?   
    Like I said, both CO's and CBP Officers are not concerned why you want to visit the USA, but more so with why you will return to your country. To almost guarantee yourself no issues when you arrive at POE you have to ask yourself this question:
    Why would a young, single woman, with no job or home ownership, with an intimate US boyfriend go back to the UK instead of marrying and adjusting status in the USA?
    If you can answer that question to the satisfaction of the CBP officer, you may just earn your additional stay on such a short interval between visits.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from meagan in Just got married - can he stay here?   
    ^^ This. So long as his status is adjusting he can stay in the USA. If he leaves before his AOS is completed (no AP filed) or before he receives AP (AP filed), you will then have to file a CR-1 for him to return to the USA.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Amhara in USCIS mistakenly believes my wife left the country   
    Only thing I can think of is said domestic flight became an international flight after all the passengers departed... or
    If said domestic flight had an international layover (brief stop, no passengers left the plane) like Canada or Mexico, before traveling to the destination.

    Yes!
    Simply go down to your local social security office. Bring the following:
    1. Your passport with K-1 Stamp\
    2. Your I-94. You can print this out online.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Elf in Second AOS scenario for my husband   
    The only red flag I see is that 2.5 years is enough time to get a conditions lifted on a 2 year green card. So by marrying you 5 months later, it looks like your husband providing visa benefit marriage.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from mallafri76 in Can I receive a K1 visa?   
    Sans misrepresentation.
    That said, while they did say you may only enter with a valid visa, obtaining said visa may be a different story with an admitted misrepresentation under your belt. Misrepresentation carries a minimum 10 year ban, and in some cases a perma-ban. You may want to consult an attorney to see if it's worth applying before paying any application fees.

    How are you legally working as a nanny without your EAD card?
    Anyhoo, you can still file for EAD and AP while your AOS is still being processed. Receiving your EAD/AP combo card normally 1-3 months after filing.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Amhara in HELP, Hardship cases   
    As others have said, you would need to be able to prove medically that you cannot meet in person. Be ready for a long process as I have read about members on this site needing permanent dialysis treatments that have been refused waivers.
    In addition, with a hardship case, you would have to prove that your fiance not being there is causing you extreme hardship. Which is most likely not that case as the USCIS will assume you have been living with your condition many years before you met your new fiance.
    I would suggest research alternate places to meet that are more easily accessible for Filipinos if she cannot obtain a US travel visa.

    You are correct.
    That said, I had broken my neck twice and my back once. The hand of God is what is allowing me to walk I am certain. However, my mobility comes at a price. I have so many herniated disks, that i get great pain that lays me out for like a week if I travel too long. In order to meet my wife, also Filipino we tried the Tourist visa path first. When she was denied, I made up my mind to go visit her in Singapore. We both chose Singapore because we both had never been there, and it is one of the many places she can go without a visa. To make a long story short, I saved up my money and credit card miles and bought a first class ticket. The seating was wonderful as it had full bed recline, and my back was not killing me after the trip.
    My point is, like you, I do not know the extent of the OP's disabilities, but maybe flying first class would help?

    Dude, just admit to your drug use and take your 1 year visa delay. 1 year is certainly more preferable to a 10-year or permanent ban from the USA for lying.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from courage87 in k1-visa: 6 years for a divorce decree and a sneaky mother in law   
    You realize what you have now is not love, yes? Love is a two person commitment, and so far, you have described what is called a one-sided relationship. If she truly loved you, she would move mountains to be with you, and not any one or any thing would stop her from being with you, not even family.
    You feel committed to this relationship for a good number of reasons, your time and energy devoted to being with her not withstanding. That said, at this point what you are now experiencing is not love, but rather coveting what you cannot have, in this case, your girlfriend.
    My advice would be for you to let her go and find a new girlfriend. There are thousands of women around the world who would love to be with you, and would positively show more effort to be with you.
    Good luck, and God Bless.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Lemonslice in Discovered US husband is Gay   
    1. It hurts to be lied to, and I understand your anger and frustration. Take into consideration he has given you 9 years of friendship, love, support and a beautiful child, that should account for something. Does that excuse him from lying, not by any means, however you do owe it to each other to discuss things civilly and amicably. In addition, just because he was browsing dating sites for men, doesn't mean he is gay, he could simply be exploring his sexuality, albeit, a bit late in life, or looking for a "thrill," in an otherwise routine lifestyle he has become accustomed to over the years. His denial of his actions when confronted is more than evident that he cares about your relationship and if you want options I suggest the following:
    a.) Seek a marriage counselor and discuss his behavior. If it turns out that he is actually gay, you both have much to discuss. If discovered that he was just thrill seeking, there are many options you can explore to save your marriage and live happily.
    b.) You can seek a divorce and receive alimony/child support depending on which state you both reside. But do try counseling first, as divorces can be expensive and not always amicable in the end.
    c.) You can try to accept his lifestyle (if he is gay) and see other people. There are a lot of couples these days who have "open" marriages and live happy lives.
    2. You have a 10 year green card. You do not need him to become a US Citizen (if that is your goal). He is obligated under his Affidavit of Support to support you until you are a US Citizen or obtain 40 quarters of work history.
    Good Luck!
    God bless you.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from mallafri76 in Uwp overstay : worried   
    Could they hunt you down at your house? Yes, it is possible, but not likely probable as you will be sharing status with the other 11 million illegals here in the USA. ICE these days normally only goes after higher visible illegals, but it's not unheard of for them to catch low-profile illegals and deport them within accordance of the law.
    What I would suggest you do is, if you can, go back to your home country before you overstay your visa. Stay out for a month and return when your relative is due for her operation.
    If you are overstayed by even a day, your VWP privilege can be revoked forever. Once you overstay, you cannot even adjust status. Why would you risk deportation, a 10 year ban, and a loss of your VWP privilege just to stay in the USA without a job?
    Maybe you can ask for an extension, but I think that would result in a loss of your VWP privilege, and you would need a tourist visa to come back, but at least you wont get a ban.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from SincerelyMeike in K-1 Refused due to prior F1 denial   
    I do not see anything wrong with wanting to study in the USA and be closer to one's fiance. That said, the CO most likely believes that your fiance was most likely using the F1 to circumvent the K-1 process, which is considered misrepresentation. Or, the CO could be believing that your fiance is just marrying you with only the intention to immigrate, and not to live in a bonafide marriage with you.
    A 221g decision is considered a denial on record, but on the bright side, many of them can be overcome with evidence. You probably should seek legal advice before you marry her and begin a spousal visa, if you decide to go that route.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from BadAmmoWitch in Tourist visa - meeting for the first time, avoid scam   
    Its a scam. Here are your red flags:
    1. The mention of a travel agent. - A travel agent cannot guarantee her a tourist visa.
    2. One does not need a medical exam to visit the US on a tourist visa.
    3. You can buy her plane ticket. - Offer to but her ticket and watch her stop contacting you or try to convince you that you cant buy her ticket.
    4. She wont Skype you. - As an online gamer we have a saying, "All players are considered men until verified on Skype." She can totally go to any one of hundreds of net cafes and Skype you. My wife lived in the poor provinces in the Philippines and still could Skype me.
    Do not send her any money. The lovely Asian that will one day steal your heart, won't steal your bank account. They will never ask you for money and will move mountains on their own to be with you.

    Dude this is the letter you should write to your father:

    By the way, you cannot do anything to me. I am a legal permanent resident of the USA. The USCIS does not care who you are or what you are claiming about me. What I do know is that you are blackmailing me, and that is a crime in your country. If you do so desire the thought of going to jail, I will be happy to forward your email to the Israeli authorities.

    Mike-eeh and Odie got a reaction from Ouryear in Visa in hand, but petitioner is unemployed. Please help!   
    You are correct, without him having a god job you would jeopardize yourself and any future children you may have.
    Secondly, he says if he went to France illegally he would feel like a slave, yet he suggests for you to be in the USA illegally because for a "woman it is different." Clearly he has no respect for you. Also, he doesn't speak your language. The first thing I did after I met my wife was take Tagalog lessons so that I may understand her culture and ensure proper communication.
    Thirdly, he says the whole process stresses him out? What stress does he have really? He has no job, no bills to pay because mommy pays them, and all his free time is spent on video games and music shows. Does this sound like a stressed individual? Did preparing paperwork cut into his video game time? If he thinks a little paperwork is stressful, then he certainly is not ready for the stress of marriage or children.
    Do yourself a favor and walk away.
