GC on hand...

hOpe you guys get yours soon

Thanks for the INFO

you had her transcript and all other credentials evaluated first by an indendent evaluator online???

Did your affidavit of support need to include the US spouse's birth certificate? Someone on another thread got an RFE because they didn't include a co-sponsor's birth certificate, so I was wondering. We didn't need a co-sponsor, and I sent my birth certificate copy and US passport biometric page copy when we sent the K-1 petition, so it's on file if they need it.

What have you enjoyed about Dallas so far? I took my husband to the Dallas Zoo, Reunion Tower, Perot Museum, and the Arboretum using the CityPass thing. It was a great time to pass our holiday time! We visited downtown quite a bit as we live nearby and my husband enrolled at DCCCD this spring.

Hey Amhara...

Im wondering since you said that you husband enrolled at DCCCD this spring, i just would like to ask if tuition your husband is paying is the one for out of state or out of country which is at least thrice the amount in county students are paying?

Thanks

Case update on I-485: Card has been mailed on Jan.21,2016....

Thank you...

Hope yours goes as quick as mine

hello sunrise... filipina ???

Yes it has been approved if you U have done finger prints. As your timeline doesn't show any finger print appointment .

Hi EK good for you... As what I've been reading here in vj and other sites they do approved without any interview but as I've seen your timeline I think they have to get your biometric done first.. There are those who submitted ap/ead also but aos comes first. Congrats

bio done... december 8 and timeline shows bio was done on the date mentioned

Thanks

Sorry po.. to be the bearer of bad news.

You might have legal problems both in the US and in the Philippines.

As far as Philippine law is concern, you marriage to your husband is void because there was a valid and subsisting marriage when you married him.

Since there is no divorce in the philippines, your options

1. file for nullity of marriage (court proceedings) on the grounds that it was a void marriage., then you can re marry him/visa

You can not just have a renewal of vows, because what will govern is date of marriage in your marriage contract and not your date of renewal of vows. you can not change the date of marriage in your marriage contract because there was no error in there in the first place. plus correcting the date of marriage will still be judicial in nature meaning you will have to file a case for correction of entries which I doubt will be granted by the court.

2. Ask your us citizen husband to divorce you then have your divorce decree recognized in the philippine courts ( again this is judicial in nature). then re marry or apply of fiance visae

Both will entail long wait. Sorry

What do you mean by... due to his divorce papers date of acknowledgment...

do you mean that: you were married to the US Citizen before his divorce became final?

aww ok... sana mabilis :0

Hello.

I've checked my case updates for I-485, 1/16 card production was ordered, then 1/19 case was approved. But there were no updates with my EAD/AP application. I am a little concern because in all other posts, the aos/ead/ap filers in september, october and some in november, the updates were only for their ead/ap application. Some were given their combo card already. Some are still expecting them. But a lot of them have no updates on their I-485 yet or if they have they are waiting for their interview schedule.

Now my questions are following:

1. Is it normal that aos application will be the only one adjudicated even if i filed for ead/ap too?

2. No more interview? right? If this is so, should i be expecting a notification that they are waiving my interview?

Thanks for your answers

for the affidavit of support in my aos application... i did send my husbands (the sponsor) passport (all pages-photocopy) as proof his is US citizenship. Proof of citizenship of the sponsor is one of the required attachments i i think

i tripled check the documents and the forms and give them nothing to ask/rfe about specially on the evidence of intermingling of lives... But like i said im still hoping the gc will be on hand next week so that i can finally take get start working legally.. hahaha ... Hopefully yours will be quick too. [/q

Hi EK congrats... Good to see you here again..

well techincally gc isnt on hand yet... but uscis update yesterday says that im on track... i was waiting for interview appointment or the release of the ead/ap combo... but looks like i wont be needing them... so what about you? started with you aos journey?

hello? anybody from dallas?

Looks like things are getting better for me.

Hang in there. Hope you guys hear some good news.

no problem.. good luck..")

when is your interview???? if you will be getting your nbi clearance as early as now, and yoru interview will be like 4 to 6 months from now, and would use the same clearance.... you might get a 221g.... because the embassy would want the most recent nbi clearance...

the reason why im suggesting that you get a clearance now so that you will be able to see what record the nbi has of you, if there is any... or hopefully they dont have any record of you..

In order not to get 221g in your interview as far as nbi clearance is concern, it should be the very recent... not over 6 months ... even if the clearance itself has 1 year validity.

remember that even if you have filed a motion to dismiss, you will still have a hearing on the motion.... this case will take forever to have a resolution.

BP 22 is a criminal case. though punishable by fines and penalties. it is still a criminal case. hence if there is conviction, there might be a problem in your eligibility for visa as it will be reflected in your records. Regardless whether you are a lone defendant or you have co defendants, that fact that you are one of the defendant is what matters.

I advice you to as early as now get an nbi clearance, if your clearance shows that you dont have any record with them, you are good to go. However if nbi clearance shows that there is no derogatory record with them, it means that it has a record about any of the ongoing cases that you are facing right now. When that kind for impression is shown in your clearance, you need to secure a written letter from then stating the actual status of your record from nbi. This is pending resolution of your bp 22 case.

When the foreigner spouse initiated the divorce, the Filipino can re married. But if the Filipino spouse initiated the divorce in the US, the Filipino spouse cannot remarried. The only way that the filipino spouse can remarry is when she files for a petition for nullity of marriage or annulment in the Philippine courts ( at kung granted)

Now if the foreigner spouse initiated the divorce proceedings, what the filipino spouse can do it to file a petition for recognition of foreign divorce. This is a court proceedings. If the foreign divorce will be recognized, the Filipoino spouse needs to follow up this decision with the local civil registrar where they had their marriage registered and further with national statistics office. This is important so that in the marriage contract between the foreigner spouse and filipino spouse there would exist an annotation that the marriage has been legally terminated. Also important so that in the CENOMAR of the filipino spouse, it would now indicate the marriage has been terminated thus available to remarry.

Finally. got a message from 2go... it will be delivered today
