There were definitely people who were stripped of their citizenship/GC for lying to USCIS about participating in armed conflicts in Former Yugoslavia. 

Congratulation..... America awaits you.
Thanks for sharing.

Good for you! Not everyone might have such an easy experience though, it really is a case by case thing....but it's great to hear that your interview went so smoothly.

And your question is?
I personally think it's great they check people who choose to travel to the middel east with all there is happening.

When scheduling starts most call NVC to see if they got scheduled. The interview letter usually arrives within 48 hours of being scheduled.
I did add you to spreadsheet with 7/15 CC. Congratulations. Come on over to the interview thread now.

Congratulations. I have added you to the spreadsheet.

Case Complete...congrats...

Most likely means case complete! Call up NVC to confirm.

It depends on the tax treaty between the US and your country. In general, if you live in the US as a citizen or permanent resident, or "resident alien" you pay taxes to the US on all the income you earn anywhere and follow US tax law concerning how to report, what is deductible as expenses, depreciated, etc. and you would not report or pay to the foreign country. You would have to check with the foreign country as well. For example the reverse...an American living in Spain still has to report income to the US on a tax return. They don't likely have to pay any taxes to the US because they are paying Spain. BUT Americans abroad do inform the IRS of their income via a tax return. Some countries simply have a form to fill out whereby you say I'm leaving and won't be doing a tax return anymore. (United Kingdom has that). Check to see what your country requires.
But each treaty is different, so find the details. The IRS website has all treaties published. The foreign income exclusion mentioned to you does not apply once you move to the US. It can apply to your first year when your residence is split between two countries within one tax year.

Doesn't matter, if the income isn't on a W2 you can't use the I-864EZ.

Ohh ok, you didn't mention the transcripts so I wasn't sure.
Here are the guidelines you'll need to follow depending on household size: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf
Although I'm assuming $120k is more than enough.

What are your reasons your so you want to move to USA? I know a lot of you have families there(myself too), spouses, etc, but why choose USA? You can live everywhere especially if you petitioner is US citizen. I had opportunities to move to Germany, Austria, Ireland and few more but I would never consider them over USA. My reasons are, well, lets be real, IT'S AMERICA! I loved it since I was a kid and later on US gave me more than my home country. Second reason is, as I said before, I have family there so it's a bit easier to get along with everything when you have someone. Third, my country is in hell, low paying jobs, no jobs, bad politics, bad politicians and much more. More than 80.000 people moved from Bosnia in last 2 years, which is a lot when you consider its under 4 million population. There are a lot more reasons but those are main ones.
In this country I will miss ONLY my dog, who I plan to bring with me when I get used to new place. Cheers!

Hubs had joint custody of his kids and therefore moving to Canada wasn't an option. I had sole custody of my daughter and therefore chose to move to the US.

We initially applied for a spouse visa for my husband to live in the UK but he was denied and has a lifetime ban due to a conviction and prison sentence in the 1990s (20 years before we even met).
The reasons for choosing the USA over the home country will vary around the world. For some the answers and reasons are more material or financially driven. That's understandable. But that's not the case for most of us from western countries. I will most likely be poorer there than in the UK, looking at the salaries for my field and taking taxation and healthcare into consideration (I have a permanent disability). I don't prefer the USA but I don't hate it and I am gradually seeing it as home. My husband is very aware of the huge change this will be for me and thanks me every day for agreeing to leave my home and job for him. And I would go wherever he is. If he lived in Japan, I would go to Japan.
For me the best things about the USA are not the material things. I love the scenery in Washington and Oregon. I love the national parks. I love the variety of domestically grown produce. My husband was shocked at how much we pay for olives and avocados in the UK. He was born and raised in Southern California where such things are not considered luxuries. And apart from CBP officers, I have always been made to feel very welcome here.
We would like to retire somewhere else though.

© one can get a third-party sponsor if they don't meet the requirements to bring foreign spouse.
(d) for failed marriage the US sponsor is not accountable (legally is but not practically) to the immigration - who can in turn become illegal or do whatever.
This also makes US Immigration very user friendly and lax.

What I have gathered from VJ -
(a) US immigration laws forgive overstays.....not sure why we reward the violators.
(b) there is path to legal immigration even after failed marriage and the immigrant is allowed to ROC on their own....not sure why the same intent rules applicable to other visas don't apply to deport.
Anyways, the above topics also make it user friendly!

This is very true!! If you have a good healthcare plan, then america is very good! you can pick up a phone and call any doctor you want and genereally see them that day.. however, if you dont have a good insurance plan a country like canada has a much better system in place. If it is not an emergency, you will have to wait to see the doctor but you wont have to pay ridiculous amounts of money. Also since it isn't 'for profit' and government run, the doctors there arent salesmen trying to upsell you or give you something you dont need!

My husband's type of job doesn't exist in Sweden and he loves his job. And I also feel that the way Sweden is going economically etc it is not a place I want to live in.

I wish I could have another good option... This immigration process is taking my family health and is playing a burden on our pockets... Everyday I pray to handle that with at least food on my plate and no debt´s.

As much as my fiancé would do the same thing for me like I am doing now for us, for our future together, I feel like I couldn't provide us a healthy and stable future here. I love my heritage, the grounds that I am from but it never felt like home. I like what I practice but I don't like the environment that I'm doing it in. My fiancé has an amazing job, he gets paid really good and he has a big family, and he feels comfortable in what he does. From the moment we spend time together, the moment I set foot on American property, I knew this was home. It felt like coming home. Him being here would make him uncomfortable because he doesn't know Dutch or where to work like he does now (he loves his job), while I have degrees in English and understand the life there. My family isn't big, I just have a few I talk to, but that's it. The only thing that's keepiing me here is my health care. That's - besides my dad, lol - the only thing I'm going to miss when I will move. I see so many great opportunities for the both of us for our future and future children. I see a happy life together :-) And maybe, maybe one day if we retire, I'd like to see if there is a chance of spending my last years where I grew up. We'll see how it goes.

If you have the money, the US healthcare system is probably the best in the world. It's for profit organization and ridiculous practices of charging $400 for a bag of Saline or $3000 for a couple stitches also mean that the insurance system is a mess. Obamacare has helped, but without price regulation you have a long way to go. If you can only afford crappy insurance your healthcare will suffer and not compare well the the rest of the developed world. Look at infant and mother mortality statistics or things like average cancer survival...the US has a shockingly low place in the worldwide rankings. The bang you get for your buck with regards to healthcare spending in the US is a complete joke in comparison to Europe - because healthcare is just as rabidly capitalistic as everything else.
I have always said that as long as I am healthy and can afford good insurance, the US is great. If I ever fall seriously or chronically ill, back to Germany it is.
There are fabulous aspects about the US - the multi culturality, the goal getting spirit, the gorgeous country side...Then there is a shocking amounts of crime, especially fun related, differences between rich and poor and related effects to the local environments (I.e. Dirty and run down neighborhoods) and crappy access to education.
Every country has its pros and cons.
For couples comprised of two members from Western country the choic will come down to language, job perspectives and local immigration laws not poverty or safety.

My husband believed that we'll have a better life here at least during our working years and return to the PH once we're ready to retire. He didn't think he would be able to get a good paying job in my country which can support a family with a comfy life style.

That's every country in the west, except that pretty much all other western countries have free health care and free education.
Actually, according to the WHO, the best healthcare in the world is in France. Top five countries on WHO's list are all European countries. The US ranks number 37.

Meh..I knew a doctor in Canada who regularly had out of country patients for surgery. It happens more often than you think.
