    EXPIRING: Need to Renew Philippine Passport in the US

    in Working & Traveling During US Immigration

    Posted

    Hi Everyone ~

    Hope all is well...

    I came here in the US since 2006 on a K1 visa and am now a permanent resident/Greencard holder with a Philippine passport. My husband and I are planning to visit our family this month from Aug. 19-30th. Also, in September 23-27th, I will be on vacation and heading to Mexico with the girls. Here is my problem:

    My passport expires on February 2012. I have learned somewhere that we should not travel 6 months prior to our passport expiring??

    I can probably get away with the Philippine trip since that would be approximately six months time. However, how would this affect my vacation plans to Mexico considering I will only have 5 months left?

    Please advise......

    Thanks,

    Princess

    You're at CSC, so a few months would be normal.

    If it takes longer, don't panic. It doesn't mean anything usually.

    If you are coming-up on the end of your one-year extension, make an Infopass appointment for another one-year extension, or file for citizenship.

    The real answer is you sit back, maybe drink some margaritas, and wait for your approval.

    Hehe.. I'm down with that!

    Okay so the waiting time begins.....................................

    It took about four more months for Claudeth to get her card. Take a look at the immigration timelines link at the top of the page.

    That's awesome! Did you guys go through an interview process? I heard some people didn't get called for an interview.. correct me if i'm wrong.

    divorce within 1 year of marriage

    Hi everyone. I have a quick question but a little bit complicated. Someone I know got divorced within just 1 year of marriage. She came here on a fiance visa, got her conditional permanent resident card. I know she can't remove her conditional status. What happens next? I believe she should leave the country am I correct? Thanks.

    She's still staying in the US.

    She can remove conditions with a wavier provided that the marriage was in good faith.

    Thanks for your reply. So if she removes that she can stay? As far as the marriage, all I can say is it's definitely not.

    Advice on Cooking Fish

    in Middle East and North Africa

    Posted

    Akram's favorite food is fish. I personally do not like fish and therefore have never cooked it... or when I have it is terrible. (I tried to cook catfish ewwwwwwww) Can anyone who has their husband here now, tell me what fish they prefer here in the states. I know the fish in Egypt are different than the ones we can find here. Any help on what fish is comparable would be great. Also, ANY ADVICE on how to cook it....

    where can you get WHOLE fish?? can you tell I have no clue here...

    :bonk:

    I love salmon... Mmmmm! Oh another tip, don't buy tilapia IMO.. *ptuuii* It has that sand after taste

    tips on budgetting

    Avoid eating at restaurants or fast foods if you can.. You might not notice it but these restaurants cost $8-$20 per person each time. I used to eat out lunch everyday when I was working thinking it's only 8 bucks. Man, if you multiply that for 30 days times 2 if my husband eats with me plus dinner.... you do the math! :) What I did was grocery good for a month and cook at home (healthier too! :thumbs: ), I'd probably spend $200 per month for food, but that's nothing compared to the eating out that costs up to $800 :wacko:

    It also helps if he brings lunch for work.

    Marriage Fraud

    in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

    Posted

    This is long....my son's father and I are battling things out in court right now. We live in Florida and my son has allergy-induced bronchial asthma. He takes multiple medications/breathing treatments each day and I am attempting to move up north because he and my daughter from another relationship are constantly medicated. My son is two. Our pediatrician said it would drastically improve their health if we moved to an area that had fewer allergents. My son's father, however, who seems to still have emotional ties to me, refuses to agree to the move; so I have to petition the court, and, in Florida, it is not likely that the relocation will be granted if he objects to it. And he said he would object. Here's the issue. I had a marriage license with my this man, who is from the Dominican Republic, in March 2005. I broke off the engagement as I felt it was green-card related. He, in turn, and within two months, married another woman. He specifically mentioned to me that he knew somebody he could marry for the green card; I just didn't know he would do it. I notified him that I was pregnant in April 2005, but I had NO clue he had already married this woman (I believe he had a marriage license in Florida with me at the same time he had a marriage license with her in New York). Once the baby was born, he seemed to be back into a relationship with me (yes, physical and visiting me and the baby). I have several e-mails from him, which state that he loves me, etc. Some of a graphic nature, as well. Once I found out that he was married, he swore it was for green card purposes, and we continued to maintain a relationship; although, eventually I was uncomfortable with things and I ended it. I have e-mails regarding his having to wait two years, and how I need to have patience, and he loves me, and even one alluding to the divorce, which he had already planned one year into the marriage. We have a DNA test from February 2006, proving he is the father. He wed this lady around April 2005. I am SURE that he has had to fill out forms sometime between February 2006 and May 2007, which is when his wife found out about our son (she had no clue until May 2007). Would this scenario constitute marriage fraud, even if she may not be a party to it? I'm sure she will do the 'stand by your man' thing; but he also has a webpage (very current), which indicates he is 'Single' and 'Looking to Date Women.' To add to all of this, in August 2006 (six months after he knew, via DNA testing, that he was my son's father, and days before and after he sent multiple e-mails to me, telling me he loves me), he sent me a link to an immigration website, telling me to fill out a form. I wrote back asking him what he wanted me to fill out the form for. He said 'to bring my brother from the Dominican Republic.' When I viewed the form, it was one of those preliminary fiance ones. He has been married since about April 2005. Will ICE investigate this? Isn't it a Federal Offense to solicit somebody to assist with fraudulent entry of an alien into the U.S.?

    I would discuss this with your attorney. Sounds like you'd like to have the father deported in order to move your son to a more healthy climate. It does sound like visa fraud, yes.

    Next time, please divide your writing into paragraphs. It is extremely difficult to follow the above format.

    I agree! deport .. deport!
