Kaori

I can't remember exactly but it was a day after Christmas and I was just leaving the house to go to work and I checjed the Mail and I saw the 2 envelopes from USCIS and took it into my car. My hear was pounding so hard I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I quickly ripped open the envelope and scanned it for the words "approved" or "denied" and thank god it said Approved.

Ok now I renember I called my mom and told her first then once I got to work I called my husband and he said "ok babe, I knew it" *\(^o^)/*

Our visa journey was a complicated one due to my husbands work situation and other important issues so we used a lawyer. I have to say that although it was very expensive, she helped ALOT and I don't think I would have been able to do this without her.

Thank you everyone for all you advice and thoughts.

I don't know how, but I would like the moderator to close this topic.

Again, thank you Everyone. No hard feelings. I wish you all the best

Ok, at least that's better. Sorry for misunderstanding.

I will share a similar personal experience...in opposite way.

When my ex-wife was pregnant, we were in early to mid 20's.

She was really happy and wanted to have it.

But I wasn't ready. My career was just starting to blossom

and I worked 1 full time and 1 part time job on the weekend.

I wanted to tighten our belt and save up as much as I can for 1 or 2 years

to buy a home and upgrade the old car that was on its last breath

before we have a baby.

I really wanted the baby to come to the world in a nice clean home

and when financial situation is much strong to best care for her.

We talked it over many many times, and shed a lot tears together.

Then finally on the day when we went to the abortion clinic,

there was a big anti-abortion demonstration with TV crews everywhere.

As we were looking for places to park, people came over and handed

us pictures of aborted babies. We were frozen solid. We parked the car,

and stayed silent for few minutes that seemed like eternity.

Then at the same instant, we looked at each other with tearful eyes,

and no words were needed...we knew then we are keeping this baby.

That child has been the biggest gift and happiness in our lives.

She graduated with near perfect grades in college, and will be the

first medical doctor in our family...in the near future.

Only if we can look into the future...

You and husband have to make this decision...

but I thought I share this story so that you can think not just now

but into the future.

I know its a tough time now... God bless you sweetheart!!.

Thank you for your beautiful story. I appreciate it and I'm happy that your daughter is doing so well .

Yes, everyone including married couples sometimes need some private space for peace of mind,

but how can an "emergency" condition not be shared with the husband, and how can he not be supportive?

Something is not right here...

I really hope I am wrong...but if this is unexpected pregnancy from another man...

...

it's really bad to start out a marriage like this...and I will just save my remaining words...

Whatever it is...hope you get it taken care...

The reason why I didn't want to say what was going on is because I know that in my situation, people may not agree with my choices. Yes I'm pregnant and it is my HUSBNDS child. He's been wanting to have a baby with me for months now. I've talked to him and he does not support my decision to terminate this pregnancy.

With everything going on in our lives, now is not a good time. We don't have the financial means to have a child, we are currently renting a room at a friends mother house (space and privacy), hopeful but unsure if sponsorship goes through, neither my husband or I have medical insurance, I can't leave the US pending submission of paperwork, we are having another wedding feb 2015 (cutting it close to when I'd be due)I'm not mentally ready to have a child, my husband (though I love him) thinks he's ready- but there are a lot of changes needed to happen before we even try to be parents. I didn't know I was pregnant and fainted due to exhaustion and dehydration ( could cause problems in un-born child)

I don't think it's fair to bring a child into this world in our situation.

I'm just as heartbroken and torn over this As my husband but I know that NOW is not the time. We can have babies in the future. I know that not everybody agrees with my decision and I was against termination before I got pregnant but please try to be understanding and put your feet in my shoes before you judge or scold me.

Thank you to all that have been supportive and for all the advice. *hugs <3

Did you apply for EAD?

I'm not sure what forms that is. I've applied for:

I-130, I-145,G-325a, I-864

Best of luck with whatever is happening to you.

Thank u <3

If it's something that is "reproductive," Planned Parenthood will take you. They have doctors who are on site.

Thank you. I'm going to go tomorrow. Thank you all for your help

Try the free clinics ?

http://www.needymeds.org/free_clinics.taf?_function=list&state=hi

Thank you for the link but I don't think they can provide what I need. But good info to have thank you.

Is it something that can be taken care of at an Urgent Care clinic?

I don't think so.

Why aren't you telling your husband, that's strange. Wouldn't he be supportive while you need medical treatment?

You are not eligible for means tested benefits.

Not in this situation. Long story but thank you for your reply.

Thank you Belinda63 but I think this is something I have to take at the doctors office so it'll have to be paid for at the office. I think I'm outta luck. My husband is not being supportive of this situation and I can't ask my parents for help

Hi, Ive sent out our AOS package last week but recently found out that I will need medication for an emergency that has happened. Neither my husband or I have med insurance. I am not working due to waiting on green card and I can't let my husband know about my situation.

Does anyone know if I'm eligible for financial help with the cost? I'm assuming no but any advice?thank you in advance.

I believe it would be H , Which is other basis of eligibility.

Everything is filed concurrently , Which means I-130, 485, G-325, I-765 , I-131 ( Yes there is no cost for EAD/AP with AOS package ).. You will also need the I-693 , Which is a medical that is required as part of the process as well.

Thank you Lala1 for your reply. I didn't know they had to all be filed together :/.

I was thinking to check box "H" but someone said to check box "a" because it says something about getting an immediate visa number if approved.

Confused.

My husband doesn't make 125% over Hawaii's poverty guideline so can I have his father AND mother also fill out a form? Or can only my husband and 1 other person file?

For the affadavitt of support I-864

I'm confused about question 1-

If my husband is the petitioner does he check 1a?

And what would his dad on his form check? 1e- I am the first joint sponsor? Or second of 2 joint sponsors?

Thank u

Thank you NLR and Bakemma.

For the I-485 part 1 - I was not issued a I-94 when u crossed the boarder, they did not stamp my passport this time. I assume I write "none"?

Also, what should I write for

Current USCIS status? And expires on?

So many questions... Sorry.

Do I send in the I-485 along with I-130, g-325a ect? Or is this sent in AFTER I get approved?

In my case- what box do I check for part 2(application type)? See attachment.

Should or can I file the I-765?

Thank you.

This may be a stupid question but when filling out the forms, do I capitalize everything?

Also, is it ok once I print it out to fill in some spaces with a black pen ie: I need to write "none" for the I-94 space.

One more thing: when it has the space (box) for ie: former wife/husband- do I write n/a, none or leave it blank?

Thank u

Thank you very much for your help F&C.

Thank you very much for your help F&C.

Also, what do I write for the form I-485 part 1 where it asks about I-94. Do I write none? (Entered US by car from vegan Washington State from there flew to Hawaii passport not stamped this time)What do I wrote for "current USIS status"? And for "expires on"? Please see attached form.

For the I-485 form- which address do I write? (Canadian in US on visitors visa, married husbNd may 25th 2014 in US) please see attached photo of form

Also, what do I check for part 2- I am applying for an adjustment of status because: (see attached form) I should also note that I was told to send the I-130 and I-485 together that's why confused.

Thank u in advance

Anybody?

Also, for the evidence of a boni fide marriage- can I use a car that we both own? Insurance papers? Bank statements? Can the ownership papers be copies? (I'm sure we need to keep the originals)

Thank u.

Came across another question. My husband is an actor and doesn't always have steady work and doesn't make enough to exceed 125% of Hawaii's poverty guideline. Can both his parents be co-supporters for the affidavit of support? I'm worried because we live with his parents but there's also his little brother and grandmother living with us.

I know it's tricky, but that part is about you, and your relative is your husband/wife name

Thank u. But just to confirm:

My husband is the petitioner and I am the alien relative being sponsored so he writes his name?

If you live with your husband, put your US address

The affidavits doesn't have to be notarized, but you can make it notarized it's ok.

It's better if affidavit are coming from US citizen, but the affidavit are not a big proof of marriage, affidavit is not the most important paper to proof marriage, so don't spend to much time on that!

Thank you. So even though I'm here on a visitors visa from Canada and decided spontaneously to get married here, I still write my address as my husbands here in the US?
