  1. Thanks
    winterpark2015 got a reaction from katkoota in Need Advice on Bringing my Filipino Parents to the USA.   
    Hello,
    I came to the USA 10 years ago on a fiancée visa.  My parents who are poor farmers in the Philippines have expressed interest in coming to live in the USA. However, I am not sure where to start. I have not worked while being in the USA. So I have several question I am hoping someone can answer. 
     
    1. I assume I file an I-30 for the to come here with a greencard. Does the financial sponsorship have to come from me or can it come to my husband or should I get a job first before I apply for them.
    2. How long and expensive is the process from the Philippines?
    3. ** Kind of Most important. They are now in their mid 50s and know very little to no English. How does USA social security work for permanent residents? Do they need to become U.S. Citizens before they would qualify for Social Security? My understanding is that you need to work 10 years, 40 quarters to be eligible for social security.  So if they came here and both worked for wal-marts of some type of place only paying minimum wage. How much would their social security be with such a short work history and low wage?  <--- This is probably the most important thing in deciding if it is a good idea for them to actually come here because I worry about their future if they were to come here.

    HELP what should I DO??  I got a letter saying I was in line in April 14, Then on May 26th I got an email and online posting changed to my interview had been scheduled saying an letter would follow. It never came, I called the 800 numbers and was told just to wait and be patient. I finally went into the local USCIS then they told me the interview update and letter should not have went out. The website stayed the same. I went back at the end of July to ask again. I was then told that they were backed logged and would just get to it they could. When I pressed them for a time frame they told me 6 months to a YEAR!!!! ####### .. This is Crazy.. Just about everyone else is either already a citizen or have had an interview scheduled. They are saying this might take over 2 and 1/2 years total??? That is just crazy.. What can I do at this point? The local USCIS is VERY VERY RUDE here in Orlando FL. No one cares to help. They seem to be angry when you go in for an info pass appointment acting like you are wasting their time.

    winterpark2015 got a reaction from ali.cha in NEED Help I-175 RFE   
    This is the case he was 40 and I was 18 when we married. He already owned his house out right. His cars, house everything is paid for, his investments and major bank account are separate. Because of his divorce and issues about money and his possessions I respect his wishes. I married for love not money. There has been no major purchases other than our travels. I do not work so there really is no joint ownership because I have not contributed to anything. I plan to go to get a degree later after I become a citizen. We have decide not to have children at this time. So as far as I can see there is nothing else for us to submit other than a letter like you have suggested. There is no other documentation that we have not already submitted. Just worry a letter explaining the state of things is not going to be enough to satisfy the person who sent the RFE.

    We submitted 3 years of tax returns but only the last two were joint because i was not in the USA yet for the 3rd., We sent over 18 months worth of bank account statements, Sent almost a years worth of electric bills, cable bills, phone bills, healthcare insurance, car insurance statements. It is really just crazy to get an RFE at this point. The only thing we have not fully proven that they are asking for is children and property ownership. Which I don't feel it is a good idea to have kids just to make the USCIS happy or ask my husband to turn over ownership of his home and personal accounts that he obtained long before me.

    I have been waiting over 7 months for approval of my I-175 removal of conditions to get my 10 year green card so that I can move onto my naturalization process this fall. However, after filing a e-status update the USCIS responded with an RFE saying they need more evidence of our marriage was in good faith. My husband already owned, his cars, house, and everything before we were ever married. We submitted dual bank accounts, healthcare insurance, and memberships in which we share. However, USCIS seems to be demanding that my husband put my name on his private bank accounts, house, cars to somehow prove our relationship. My husband is much older than me, he obtained all these things far before knowing me and I do not feel it is fair to ask him to do this and I don’t feel it is the place of the USCIS to interfere in the inner workings of a marriage. No one would require this if he married an American women so why are they requiring such a thing just because he married someone born outside the USA?
    I feel we are being forced to spend time and money to go against my husband’s wishes and get a new deed to his home and titles to his cars and personal bank accounts just to prove something to an invasive government worker who is clearly requiring things that should be outside the purview of the USCIS? I thought it was their job to just validate a lawful marriage not to demand and instruct how they feel a marriage should be lived and divided up.
