I also had children prior to this marriage. Do we need to list them also even though they are unrelated to my husband applying for removal of conditions?

I am reviewing the form and in part 5 About your children. It states "Provide information on all your children." We have a US born child do I list him so they know we have a child together? Or only list children if they were also here conditionally?

thank you for the feed back. she is going to talk with a lawyer to clear up her past first before they proceed. he is still employed but layoffs may be in the future.

thanks all

Ok i told her. she says she was married to an illegal once but after 3 years he ran away to mexico. and no she never applied for a green card for him. Apparently he was married in mexico. What can she do? she just figured it wasnt a legal marriage to begin with so never did the divorce? what are her steps now?

I met someone online who got married 5 years ago to a person who is here on a work permit. I directed her to this site but she has concerns. She has been married and divorced multiple times before marrying this last man who is here on a work permit. if she follows guidelines it states she needs to submit divorce certificates. Does she need to submit every divorce certificate or just the most recent priror to getting married to her now current husband?

Ok thank you

Hello VJ members. I have a family dilema.

I sponsored my now husband on a fiance visa. I was the primary bread earner making good money. We got married and had a child. I was laid off from my job. My husband is working part time at 2 differnet jobs (practically min wage) but its not anywhere near the money I used to make. We cannot pay the mortgage or family bills with his income alone. I am going to apply for CalWorks if we even qualify. We have to pay our bills. Next year we have to apply to remove conditions from his temporary resident card. How will this negatively impact that process? Will he be deported even though he has a child here? will they break up a family for the unfortunate circumstances we found ourselvesn in? Or will they just ask him to find a differnet sponser? If we do qualify for CalWorks I anticipate for it to be temporary (a few months) until I find a job. We have an interview tomorrow for Calworks I just dont want to do anything wrong. We really do need assistance.

Thank you for your guidance.

Hi Shirley, I am not sure what happened in your case. I got an RFE because I was missing His letter of intent to marry. i submitted it and it was approved so I dont think if you had submitted both it wasn't that. I did not send any info about wedding arrangements or anything like that. Did you send in enough proof of a relationship such as emails, chats, pictures etc and your story how you met and fell in love?? Before you start again you want to make sure you know the real reason why it was denied. Any way good luck on your journey its just a little delayed from the inevitable if the love is authentic.

thanks for the suggestions. i wish we knew exactly what can happen at this point. He barely got his EAD and is seeking employment. We haven't received a notice on the schedule date yet for his interview for AOS. Now I am concerned because I attempted to sign up for covered california and it says i am eligible for Medical. Is that public assistance? if i sign up for that will that disqualify me as a sponsor?

My fiance arrived in July, we got married and applied for adjustment of status 485. filled out all the forms properly and now are waiting for a scheduling appt according to USCIS website status. But I was laid off last week. I was the sole sponsor on those forms we filled out. I have made more than enough this tax year to still qualify under the sponsor earnings requirement but will my lack of having a current employment disqualify me? What will happen at the interview? We haven't received the paperwork what we will need to bring to the interview just notice online that we are going to be scheduled and will be sent information later. What will happen next? will they ask us to find a different sponsor? Will they deny his request to change residency status? Has anyone been in this situation that might give us some insight or guidance?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide us.

I don't know if different RFE have different time frames but mine was about 12 weeks from the date of the notice. The letter actually had a printed date by when I needed to have replied by. So yea about 84 days may be the standard time frame.

if there is only 2 people she will support then she needs to make above $24737 annual per guidelines located here

sorry my mistake 19,662

Have you added him to your insurance? Go to counseling together. Some people have a harder time than other adjusting to a new country/culture. If you want to help him I suggest couple counseling to help you both deal with the new changes. I am sure your having a difficult time knowing he is not happy here. There is nothing you can do to make him happy. Its his own responsibility and you have to realize that. I say speak to a counselor to help you through this stage.

woohoo we got approved!! he'll pick up his passport next week

so excited

We are almost there... woohoo. I am so excited. My fiance got on interview for next week wed. Wow it all now seems like it happened so fast but up to this point it seems like it was taking forever.

I can also attest that I did not have any problems having my fiance sign the documents that needed to be signed , scanned and then e-mailed to me. I was able to print them and submit them successfully. I did get an RFE for not having the letter of intent from the beneficiary though. So dont forget to have them both.

i've heard of stories of fiances not responding to RFE's maybe that is what happened to your case?

glazierguy the petitioner can help the beneficiary fill it out but only the beneficiary can submit it online.

Mine took like 2 weeks to get to nvc from cali center. According to the instructions on noa2 if it takes longer than 30 days to receive at NVC you should email to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov include uscis receipt number in subject line. and include petitioners name/dob, and applicants name and dob in the body of the email

good luck

before the interview. he/she must complete and print out the confirmation page and take to interview

ok thanks guys. Good to know

follow up question to this if the k1 visa expires at poe, then on the I 485 and I 765 where it says Current UCSIS status and Current Immigration Status respectively. What do you put in the field?

So, we are free to have a church wedding! Not just a betrothal!!!

Why risk it? Why not wait until after visa in hand then do church engagement ceremony So that you are both still single and free to marry when you come to USA. And then officially get married in USA?

Imagine you did ceremony and they invalidate the k1 and you have to start over.

I think every embassy is different how they want you to schedule the appt.
