randrb reacted to Crazy Cat in 551 stamp- what constitutes an ‘emergency’ to get an appt?
Make an appointment with USCIS and get an I-551 stamp in your passport. That will be evidence of your status.....even though your status, itself, has not expired.
There are no additional extension letters.

randrb reacted to Jeanne Adil in Chances of Mother & sister getting approved for Tourist Visa (from Morocco)
no to the sister at all / they will assume she will meet and marry a man here or has BF and will marry and AOS to stay
my mother in law applied in August and was denied September 5th and Adil has applied for citzenship
some of your ties to morocco are good like the job
but she doesn't own property
my mother in law owned a house with her sisters and her own apartment and has a checking account
husband and children staying behind (2 week vacation for the wife ) did not work for a Brazilian teacher / husband a policeman
so, apply and see what CO says but you can not support the Tourist visa application / u can , if given a visa, buy her ticket and support her living costs here
we have a friend in Nahvile whose parents are here on 2nd trip so none of us really know about the CO and what and why some approved and others turned away

randrb reacted to Faye Faye in Surprise , Surprise , Surprise!!!
I've been reading everyone's posts on their status, and that the case status is not updating . Today I got up at 4:15 am to go to the gym, which I did . As I returned home I walked past my mailbox, a little voice told me to "check your mailbox" (something I rarely do) . I opened and didn't see anything but continued pushed the envelopes through my fingers. At the very bottom was a letter with my name, before I dismissed it I looked at the sender "Homeland Security" . I ran inside shaking all I see was my fiancé' name through the window. I tore it open and handed it to my roommate , who read it to me, "approved"!! Oh thank you Jesus!! I was literally jumping up and down. I wanted to share the news with my love, but he was still at work and an hour past , still waiting for him to get home. Once he arrived the darn Wi-Fi was on the brink. After multiple try's we finally connected , by this time he was tired, hot and sure he is hungry being that it's Ramadan. He can't hear me well, but I was able to give him the news, now I'm late to my 9 am appointment at work and it's 8:55am. I can't wait until tonight to finally see his face and talk. This has been a long time coming , I'm excited and a few more steps and I'll be with my love.

randrb got a reaction from KULtoATL in Entering USA from any state is fine?
You can enter from anywhere. When he gets up to Customs, he will hand over the sealed envelope of documents he will have with him (make sure it's packed in his carry-on and not his checked bag!!), then the CO may ask him a few questions and/or send him to an office. They will ask some more questions there- but nothing major (if he passed the interview in his home country he should have no problem passing these few easy questions!). After that, he'll be on his way!

randrb reacted to Scandi in i-485 AOS RFE
Haha now that's an interesting RFE. All you can do is send them yet another copy of the birth certificate and a little explanation to spell it out for them, sometimes they're not so smart.

randrb reacted to millefleur in Any limit on marriages?
I agree with @Roel that you should spend more time getting to know the person before jumping into the K-1. I know it is annoying that it's hard for Russians to get tourist visas to the US, but on the plus side it's easy for Americans to visit Russia, so you can always visit in Russia and spend some time there. If you can manage, you can even move here temporarily (it's totally doable on one of the 3-year visas). If you like Russians in general, it could be interesting for you to spend more time here and understand the culture at large, which can help with the relationship in the long run.

Also... Hard to know someone when you're on the time limit to marry? I think you don't understand how k1 works. You are suppose to get to know someone before they arrive on k1. The 90 days are for getting married not just to get to know that person... Lol. You will need a waiver and be prepared that the next k1 won't be an easy process for you.

randrb got a reaction from millefleur in Divorce - marriage six weeks later
I had a similar situation- got divorced and then it had to be reopened (so it was like legally we were still married, even though I had a divorce decree) and then it eventually got shut again, but within a span of 2 years.... my fiancé and I filed the paperwork literally 2 days after receiving the 2nd divorce decree. We had no issues and were approved! Like everything else, just have proof and make sure your fiancé can explain, if need be and you will be fine!

He can get a joint sponsor.
PS
You sound desperate to get to the US.

randrb reacted to NancyNguyen in We Are Considering Pulling Our I-129F Petition
Impatience is not a characteristic for dealing with US immigration. Getting married won't speed up anything (it might even raise some red flags, who knows), and that you would waste all times and money you've spent so far.

randrb got a reaction from ijay in Need help pls
People who believe in 'throwing out' someone with a mental illness is just ignorant and cruel. While I do think there are some mental illnesses that are really hard to deal with, I think that with the right people around, someone with a mental illness can improve drastically. No one should advocate for leaving someone with one. I'm happy that the comments here have been mainly caring

You didn't have an idea about this before you got married??? PTSD doesn't just show up all of the sudden. And what is the PTSD from? Did something happen to her recently or in the past?

randrb got a reaction from ToddB in Need help pls
If you still care about your wife and would prefer to get her help, rather than give up on her, I can tell you with 99%certainty that you should get her to a therapist who can do EMDR on her. EMDR can completely cure PTSD in just a few sessions.... No lie. My mother is a therapist in the army, so she deals with PTSD every day. She's even had clients who have been cured of it in just 1 session.
I'm sure it's awful to deal with her right now, but know that it doesn't have to permanently be this way. I hope this helps and good luck!!

randrb reacted to Georgia16 in K1 - Married less then a week abandoned marriage
I mean I'm very sorry for her but her being so young she might not have said what she wanted and not wanted. Like not wanting american food.
Seems like more a case of misunderstanding between their expectations when she comes here. She really doesn't have much evidence of abuse which she is going after...
Might just be best for her to go home.
She can only adjust via her petitioner or abuse waiver. She got married after 5 days here and left 3 days after marriage I mean come on.

randrb reacted to Auds in Men's Engagement Ring- problem for my fiance to wear it to interview??
I would say wear it. If he has a tan mark then that makes it look like he is hiding something!!
