Hey Rich, good luck for you and your fiance!!! We're all pullin for ya here at the Murrell house!! She'll get through it man! Keep your head up and never back down from a fight if they give you one!!

J.R. & Uyen Murrell

I got a notice in the mail that I have to file an I-751 form before my wifes second anniversary when she was granted conditional status. Anybody know about this? I brought her here on a K-1 visa from Vietnam. Thanks in advance

Hey Mark, good to hear from you. I somehow lost you on Facebook. Send me your number man. Are you still in Vietnam?

Speak of the devil! How's life these days JR? Your boy is what...2 now?

I'm not sure who you are? Help me to remember.

What are the differences in the items that you send in for the K-3 visa versus the K-1?? Thank you.

My wife got here in the U.S. in February 2008. She came here on a K-1 visa. She interviewed in November of 2007. She was pregnant at time of interview. My fiance received a blue paper first. I was there at the interview and then I submitted the additional documents the next day. I received a green paper. They stated that we had to have a 3 way DNA test done. I told them that that was unreasonable and they would hear from my attorney. GOD BLESS MARC ELLIS. The man is an absolute savior! My wife would have never got here before our son was born if it was not for him! I will owe him forever! NEVER BACK DOWN FROM THESE PEOPLE. KEEP ON KEEPING ON. JUST RESEMBLE A HEMMORHOID AND BUG THE HELL OUT OF THEM!

I have a guy who I introduced to my sister in law from Vietnam. My wife is already here. I filed for a K-1 visa for her. My now brother in law will have to file a K-3 or CR1 for his wife, but what I need to know is what is different about the initial packet that we send in? I'm familiar with the K-1 but not so much the K-3. From what I have read and the guide on here, it is pretty much the same for both other than the forms you send in. Thank you for your advice and time.

Bottom line about Marc Ellis is the fact that my wife would not be here without his endeavors. Without his help I would be waiting forever and they would try to keep us in limbo. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Ellis for how he has changed our lives and the wonderful gift of "togetherness" he has helped us realize! Noone in their right mind would do this process without his assistance!

Hire Marc Ellis!!!! If I did not have his help, my wife would not be sitting right next to me right now. He has changed many peoples lives here on VJ.

When I am filing the paperwork for my wife, do I use her married name or her previous name used in all her other paperwork for her K1. Thanks alot.

My wife is here and I did a K1 Visa and now what do I need to do for her AOS? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Now that my wife has arrived in America, what do I need to do for this adjustment of status nonsense? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

Thank you for all of your advice! You guys are the best!! Eric and An Thuy best of luck on the 11th!!! This is the most wonderful news we have heard all year!! As my good friend once told me REMEMBER PERSISTANCE REMOVES RESISTANCE!! My Father always says "To Thine own self be true" Truth does prevail. Good luck to everybody!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!

My Fiance's visa was approved on January 8, 2008!!! She received a blue paper first after her interview. I submitted everything they asked for and then they gave me a green paper requesting a DNA Test. I hired a lawyer and it was approved in 4 days!!! GOD BLESS HIM!!!

Right now we are waiting on Marc Ellis to meet with Greg Adamson. He is the Chief Immigration Officer in Ho Chi Minh City. If this does not get resolved then my Father and I are going to file a writ of mandamus in Federal Court holding the United States Consulate General there liable for this. This is their chance to get out of this gracefully. I will not be bullied or unbelieved by these people there. They are no different than anyone on this forum. They put their pants on the same way we do, ONE LEG AT A TIME!! I am hopeful and with enough prayers and enough support Uyen should arrive here soon. If not then it will be a media fiasco before it is all over and costly for them to fight with me about it. They are inhumane at best in the way they treat people there and I intend to expose that for the benefit of everyone in the future. I intend to be an advocate for everyone here in hopes that we can come to better means of deciding who is for real and who is not. I want to thank everyone for all your support and compassion, because the CO'S in HCMC have none whatsoever! There has to be a better way!!!

Hey, congratulations to you both and I wish our interview had went as well as yours. But enjoy and it is good to know that someone is getting through this Consulate! All of us with denials will never back down and we will push until they move!!! Merry Christmas!!

I have retained Marc Ellis to represent me on the ground in Vietnam. He will now be handling our case. The baby is our child without a shadow of a doubt. Uyen and I were together every minute of everyday when I was there this summer. I went to the doctor with her when we found out. It was her time of the month when I got there and she never had it again. I know for a fact that I am the Father. They are just trying to stall us off to see if we are the real deal, which is against the law to do. I have already talked with the so called politicians here and they are worthless! I am hopeful of Mr. Ellis abilities. I have heard nothing but good things about him. I will let you all know how it goes. But heed my warning, no matter how well you have prepared there is always a chance for this when dealing with Ho Chi Minh City. I knew before I filed that I would have a little bit of a hard time because her Aunt introduced us and I had known her for several years, but I will not lie!!!!

My Fiance interviewed on the 26th of November and it was a disaster completely. She received the blue paper after the interview on Monday the 26th and after a couple days and more evidence I returned to the Consulate personally and received the green paper asking for a DNA Test on our unborn child!! So now I am contacting everyone in the Government to try and help me get her here before the baby is born otherwise we will be waiting for maybe 10 months!! Anybody have any ideas??

That's fantastic news!!! Wish you both the very best!!

I will let you all know how this goes! Crossing my fingers and flyin out in 10 hours!!!

Yes, absolutely have one and take your parents too if you can!

Good Luck and bring her home for the holidays!!!!

11 days and my fiance and I will be heading to the Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City! We are preparing and praying for the PINK! I am leaving for the interview on Sunday in the US. I've got 7 days to prepare her for the interview. I am hoping for the best. This will be my 3rd trip to Viet nam in 8 months. I met her from introduction from her aunt here in the states as I have known her for about twelve years now. My Father who is a decorated Viet nam War Veteran accompanied me to Viet nam to meet her and attended the engagement ceremony along with her Mother and Father. I then returned to Viet nam on July 22, 2007 and stayed with her until Sept. 11, 2007. During that time I was teaching her English as I am a certified TEFL teacher. I also spent alot of time with her extended family while I was there. Also during that time I was there we found out that we are expecting and the baby is due in May of 2008!! We all hope that everything works out for the best. I prepared all of her paperwork myself and submitted everything they asked for and I have a paper trail for everything they might throw at her at the interview. I've heard stories about this Consulate both good and bad and if there are any troubles then perhaps I can rectify them while I am there. Our case is very clear, neither one of us has ever been married before, neither one of us have any children yet, and neither of us has ever been in any legal trouble, and my income is more than enough to support her and our new child. Both sides parents attended the engagement ceremony. I want everyone to know here on this website that I could not have known as much about this whole process without you all! I am not afraid and not worried about this, what happens happens and I will be with her every step of the way and I will keep everyone posted when she completes the interview and keep us in your hearts and your prayers and we will do the same! Thank you everyone and we will do our best on November 26!!!

Are there any fees additional to pay.
