George & Roth

That's  not all there is one  couple that was 582 days last year!

I can't even imagine! Being separated from my wife and son for 200 days was hard enough, 100 more I would have been in the asylum!

Yours still was quick mine was 299 days in 2018-19! Now whose lucky LOL..

Don’t have a problem with this.
 
If only we could do something to fix our absurdly expensive healthcare next. Maybe this will actually help in that regard.

That’s not true. It’s evidence of having met in person as well,  but could be out of the 2 year window. 
 
 

Some thoughts:
1) Consider filing for work authorization if possible. Not sure if any issue filling the form with you being here long without the AOS yet, but I think you are the only signer on the I-765 so don't need him to do anything. You need $410 to file it. That would allow you to work and save for a flight https://www.uscis.gov/i-765
 
2) Get a ####### credit card to buy the tickets back
 
3) Contact loan providers

I was thinking the same thing, verbal or emotional abuse for VAWA.

I am far from well versed on the subject, but for those who are - is the VAWA route at all an option for @Lotts? I know she hasn't suggested physical domestic violence or abuse, but good Lord - intentionally refusing to file/pay for AOS and leaving her with literally nothing, being degrading to her verbally and I'm assuming emotionally/mentally as well....does any of that count for abuse, under VAWA standards? Does that route have resources for the beneficiary to get back to their home country and away from the petitioner who is perpetuating her misery?
 
There has to be help for people in these instances. It's easy to say "just call home and have your family help", but some people have no family to call, or family that is in the position to help. Not everyone has money laying around, or access to credit, to help on the spot like that.

Don’t have a problem with this.

@Lotts I’m so sorry it escalated to something like this at all... 
 
For I-485, yes as it hasn’t been filed she will be considered overstay unfortunately. So that may (I’m not sure of timelines right now) get a ban, most likely will. I don’t believe you can use Esra after this. You can apply and try to explain for a B2 but they’re infamous on not listening to people at embassy when it comes to tourist visas from countries with Esta.
 
for divorce questions try to post here cause people have way more information to help about it, and can even explain what can happen for not filing AOS and what are your options etc:

Hi K1 filers! Hope y'all are doing well.
 
Just want to share that I finally got my Permanent Resident card today! The officer that interviewed us in May said that USCIS had a mistake of assigning two alien numbers to me so they told me that the processing after our interview would be extended to 6-8 weeks. (Anyone here who had the same issue???) After 8 weeks, we did not hear from them. Come 10 weeks, I submitted a case inquiry but still did not hear from them 3 weeks after that. I was worried because I might be suspended from work. HR was asking me to update my I-9 since my EAD is gonna expire on Sept 12. Finally, they sent me a notification on August 17 and it was on mail today! So happy to be almost done with this. The next paper to process (Lifting of Conditions) is gonna be more than a year from now. 
 
Now I also have to go to DPS so that they can extend the expiry of my driver's license. And also the SSN!

Hello everyone.
 
Wow, not been here since May. Jeez. I'm sorry. 
Things are still mega poo. Every day is a walk on eggshells. I'm pretty sure he is a sociopath so my emotions mean nothing nor recognised.
My wedding anniversary was spent being abandoned in a Walmart after he stormed off out when I questioned if he was having a sugar crash during a grocery shop. My birthday was pretty much ignored and did nothing... Not even a card.
I'm still an emotional punchbag and get grief for not being happy or "loving" towards him. My life is "pointless and meaningless". 🙄 I feel empty and like I have nothing now. Apart from Ed. I'm so glad I brought my cat. She's definitely kept me sane.
 
So, I'm looking to go back. I have no reason to stay here anymore. It's terrible really. His family even sat down with me and have noticed how ####### things have been with his behaviour towards me and everyone. This has been a huge waste of time and money for me.
 
My question is, what do I do with regards to divorce/if I'm eligible for annulment? 
Can I return to the USA for vacations later on?
 
I'm super happy for all of you guys though. Really happy that you guys have found your happiness. 💜

Hi guys! Today marks the end of our I-485 Journey with USCIS.

Received the Green Card Approval Notice I-797 via USPS regular mail, and the 2-year Conditional Green Card by USPS Priority Mail.
 
We will start our I-751 Journey to remove the conditions on 19 May 2021 (90 days before the Conditional Green Card expires).
 
Goodbye USCIS for more than a year, and super excited to plan our overseas trips for now. 😇
 
Summary of our I-485 Journey is in the signature below (if you're reading this thread on a laptop browser). Cheers!!

And we have our newest member born Feb 22nd 👶🍼
 

 
 
Our son turned 4 on Feb 21, so 1 day difference in birthday from his little sister.  Given both were almost born on the same day my friends joked that 9 months before must be my birthday 🙈
 

I hate knowing we need to submit the I-751 in November 2020 and N-400 in November 2021. Just want to submit the damned paperwork now and never think about this process again. 
 
Nothing to worry about, I just want to get these tasks over with.

I had my interview in San Antonio and I was not sure if I was approved or not. The  that same night I received “new card is being produced” update   How long typically can i expect to wait on my greencard? 

I haven’t logged in lately, but I saw that @John & Rose got approved! Congrats to you and your family! 😊

Well, believe me or not, we are too, dismayed with the way things are politically and economically in the US and what that may entail in the long run if that continues. It may come as a suprise, but you may find President Trump is not that much different from President Duterte...
