    White House party crasher Tareq Salahi is also a poll watcher.

    TracyTN reacted to We Keep Receipts in Romney or Obama and why.. :)   
    I'm sorry, that's because the right doesn't have the same issues? They want to believe in Romney so badly that even though he has established himself as a flip-flop on so many issues, he has a plan that he refuses to explain since it's too complicated for the average american to understand, he makes remarks about 47 percent of America he isn't worried about, he wants to be in charge of the budget but won't release his tax returns, and this is best the GOP can do? They should have tapped John Mccain to run again, at least he fought a fair fight and I could get behind what he was talking about.
    I voted for Obama because he is a decent man, a loving father, and has carried himself with a grace most of us could only wish for. He has been a good leader with what he was left with, and he is still trying to make a difference.

    It's likely to be more of red flag at the consular interview than the petition stage - particularly with the affidavit of support. I would defer to those members from the PI to relate their experiences and give advice, though.

    TracyTN got a reaction from alongwayfromhome in Divorce before removal of conditions on permanent resident status.   
    Been meaning to bring up this article in this forum - interesting information about just this situation.
    http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0924-lee.shtm
    ETA quote from the article (which cites a USCIS memorandum), "The importance of the memorandum is to allow conditional permanent residents who are only separated or in divorce or annulment proceedings to timely file for a waiver based upon a bonafide yet terminated marriage by themselves without having to ask the U.S. citizen spouse to sign a joint petition, and to later provide evidence of final marriage termination upon receipt of a request for evidence from U.S.C.I.S. It also gives immigration service officers the authority to amend the basis of I-751 filing rather than making conditional permanent residents refile and pay new fees for another I-751. These are welcome changes."

    He can look for a job, but this is something you should get fixed with USCIS so the error does not also appear on the GC. I would make an INFOPASS to make sure the name is spelled correctly in his file.

    TracyTN got a reaction from NikLR in Abusive Husband   
    I don't really think comments about the marriage or 'there is life beyond the US' are the point. Surely if she is from outside the US, she knows this full well. It is her right to stay here if she chooses to. It's not her fault she married an abusive louse.
    If her green card is in process, I would have her immediately make an Infopass appointment at her local USCIS office and let them know she has left the marital home and why she has left. If the green card were to get approved, it would be mailed to her husband (assuming she used their joint address as the one on the green card application) and she may have a heck of a time getting that from him. She will not be removed or denied her green card because her marriage broke down. She just needs to act in a way to protect both herself and make sure she has her green card in her possession to prove her status here. She'll likely need it as she moves to create a life without him.

    TracyTN reacted to NigeriaorBust in Fraud case   
    Being gay is not automaticalkly a matter of fraud. It actually sounds like your firend's husband may be grappling with his sexuality as he would not have been interested in a woman if he was gay and at peace with that. Many people struggle with this because there are backlashes to being out. If your friend has proof that the spouse was out and went out of his way to decieve the spouse to get a green card then she should send that to ICE but it is unlikely that anything will happen. The only thing the friend can really do is divorce and move on. He has a 10 year green card and will probably stay in the US if he wants.

    Ron, the "hard" rule is that you MUST get the divorce decrees - all of them. Each and every one of them. You are required to prove that you are free to marry. Our government allows you ONE way to do that: you give them all prior marriage termination documents.
    You are asking our government to grant you the privilege of bringing a foreigner here to marry you. The rules say that if you want them to consider your request, you must prove that you are free from all prior marriages - free to marry. Period. No other option. Anything you thought based on the number of lines on the form is wrong. If your attorney told you only the two most recent matter: wrong. You must get the documents, and you must do everything in your power to get them to her and to the embassy/consulate before her interview.
    It does not matter how brief a marriage was, or how long ago, or how or why it was terminated: you MUST prove via a decree or certificate that it was legally ended - and ended legally. It is a) proof that you are, in fact, free to marry, and b) your fiancee MUST know about each and every one of these marriages, and how it ended, or the officer may think that your are defrauding her. Not everyone will marry someone who has been married and divorced many times - or marry someone who has had several prior wives, say, die from unknown causes. You are demonstrating the truth about your past, and proving you are free to marry the person you are bringing here to marry. The officer can and will ask her about all of your prior marriages and divorces, and the rules require you to provide proof of how they ended, and that they ended.
    When you get each and every decree - and if you work it, you may be able to get them prior to her interview - everyone is right: make sure you scan and email copies to her, not just to your attorney, because if your attorney screws it up and fails to get them to the consulate or embassy in time, as least your fiance can bring them to her interview, along with the rest of the documents she is bringing, nothing out of the ordinary - and so demonstrate that she knows your history, in addition to being able to fulfill the documentation requirement. She can always explain that you misunderstood the form, if that is the case, but that everything is complete now - IF she has all the decrees with her.
    Now is not the time to be confused and angry. Now is the time to say "Wow - I am lucky to find this out now, maybe in time to pull it out of the fire." Now is the time to cowboy up and get her the documents, to be the hero here, to make it happen for her. Good luck getting them!
    "i can not beleive it i still had the docs." - do you mean you have found your other divorce decree?
    Your original post says: "sveta has full copies of the last 2 divorces the others are in another state and sveta has visa interview in 1 week " - Have you found one missing decree, but still need to order another, for a total of 4? Are there others? Get them ALL.

    TracyTN got a reaction from VanessaTony in Marriage law   
    It is a little confusing to say you're in pain about it, but then to be asking about his infertility as possible grounds for a divorce. If it 'doesn't matter to you' like you say - why even ask if it is grounds for a divorce? Something doesn't seem to add up whether we know you or not. All we know is what you reveal to us, and perhaps you misstated something - but what you did say doesn't exactly read like an innocent musing. There really is little need to bring out something this personal on to a public forum unless there is a reason for it - like finding a way to divorce him.

    TracyTN reacted to LIFE'SJOURNEY in Do they always check father's DNA?   
    Good morning,
    To answer your question can/should you falsely add your name as the father to the child's birth paper. NO, do not falsely add your name to this child's papers. You do not need to falsifed records if the indicent was reported as a rape. The courts can terminate the fathers rights if the mother request it so based on the fact that this birth was of the result of a rape.
    I am only stating rape because this was how you describe the incident.
    I a going to re-post a statemet you made just last week;
    "The other consideration is to have the baby, but the baby would never come to the U.S. with us and would essentially grow up with my fiance's mother and we would financially support it. This is all sounds absurd, but this is the bind we are in. I made it clear to here she can do whatever she feels is best for her, but there's no way I am taking that baby into my direct care, ever. "
    Base on this statement you are not truly ready to take on the responsible for this child, I hope that both you and the mother can get some counseling and with this counseling you can have a true heart felt change to care for this innoncent human being.
    Yes, I do understand that this is a truly hard place you are finding yourself in right now, but please move carefully.
    This pregnancy will be a big red-flag in your case, you'll will have to answer questions surrounding this at the interview.
    Be bless in all of your decisions.

    No, you don't file making it 'look' like you're divorced when you aren't. Never present yourself to USCIS in any manner other than what is actually true. What I meant was when applications such as yours are eventually approved, they're technically done so under a 'waiver' since you did not adjust status with the original K1 petitioner. Sorry for any confusion.
    This has been done many times and with success, and is based on the guidance outlined below.

    Send the I 751 form in along with proof that your marriage was entered in good faith as indicated on the I 751 instructions. If you have any filing documents proving that your divorce is in process, send those as well. Once they get around to adjudicating your application, they will notice the missing final divorce decree and send you the RFE for it which I mentioned in the previous post. You'll have 87 days to get that form back to them and they will start processing your application again. This is done to accommodate cases such as yours where you must file the I 751 to maintain your legal status (and receive the extension letter), but you have not yet received the final divorce decree.
    If you have any other questions, I suggest making an Infopass appointment at your local office.

    There is no guarantee that the document you send will ever 'meet up' with your case. If you enclose it with an RFE, they have an actual way to track it all.
    If you really want to do that, you'd be better off taking it with you to an Infopass appointment and letting them record it that way (still retaining a copy for yourself). Otherwise hold on to it and wait for the RFE.
