    Thanks for everyone’s input. Just to clarify things a bit, my wife does not want to live here and there. She wants to return there to stay, but would like to be able to return to the US as a tourist at some point in the future. For coraliesolms, I am not just “rather caring” for someone who wants to rush off. I am completely in love with this person and am literally grieving my #*! off as I write this. I feel as if I am dying. She will have no problem showing strong ties to Mexico. Sundrop I do feel as if it is my fault, although I will say that she never really adjusted to living here. I had no idea just how strong the family unit is for her and how powerful an effect it would have on her being removed from it. I think that has contributed to her feeling vulnerable, which is now leading to wanting to bail at the first real problem situation that we have had. I’ve tried to get her to slow down, but to no avail. I don’t just want it to end. I am begging and pleading for her to reconsider. She keeps telling me the same thing over and over-that she wants to divorce and go back. That leaves very little open to interpretation. Boiler, can you tell me more about the form that you mentioned? Do you know what it is called or any other info about it? Thanks to everyone again

    OK, I have a terrible situation and I need some input from whoever might know this. My wife came to the States from Mexico. We did everything correctly, got married, and her kids followed. There has been a (personal) situation arise where she now does not wish to remain married to me. I feel terrible about it but I must respect her wishes and help out however I can. She is due to apply for the 10-year green card with a month or two (I'm not sure exactly when, I'll need to double check.) But now she would like to get divorced and bail out as soon as possible, like by early June. She is concerned about her status. She wants to make sure that there is no problem if she should ever want to visit the US again in the future. Is there anything specific that we need to do to make sure that she can re-enter the US later? Obviously this would have nothing to do with me. She just wants to make sure that there would not be some legal problem hanging over her head if she ever wanted to come back as a tourist. Any thoughts on that? And any thoughts on whether she needs to file for the 10-year, even though she plans on leaving the country soon? Thanks, any help is appreciated

    New Visa Restrictions

    US to tighten visa restrictions

    Mr Chertoff's new measure will affect visitors from 27 countries

    The US is to tighten visa restrictions to allow it to screen all short-term visitors from Japan and Western Europe.

    US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said visitors to the US who do not need visas will be required to register with the government online.

    The security regulation, set to begin next year, will require visitors to register three days before they visit.

    The online registration will remain valid for a two-year period, Mr Chertoff said.

    He said the changes - which will affect citizens of the 27 countries currently listed under the US visa waiver programme - will allow the US to screen visitors before they travel.

    Deterring terror

    The waiver programme was initiated in 1986 "with the objective of eliminating unnecessary barriers to travel, stimulating the tourism industry," according to the State Department website.

    The new programme will be rolled out from August, and will be mandatory for all visa-free travel from 12 January, 2009.

    A Homeland Security spokesman said the new registrations would require the same information as the I-94 card, which is currently filled out by visitors to the US and turned in to customs on arrival in the country.

    That information includes passport number, country of residence, and any involvement in terror activities.

    The new US Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) aims to make it more difficult for potential terrorists to enter the US.

    on the AOS front, this just in from CRIS...

    "Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR

    Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was

    transferred.

    The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST

    office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made...."

    Creeping closer and closer...but I haven't had any touches on the AP. I'm kinda hoping that they will just give us AOS fast, and we won't even need tha AP...yes, straight to AOS sounds good to me!

    Vaccination Supplement

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    So we take the 3025 that my wife got at her medical exam (it was signed and dated by a doctor), and then take that with the I-693A to a civil surgeon, who then fills out the I-693A? Or do they just fill out the vaccination supplement?

    Many people (my wife included) submitted only the DS-3025 as proof of vaccinations (the supplement) with the I-485 application and were approved without incident.

    Cool! Thanks for the quick reply...I was worried there for a minute....It's not real clear in the instructions, in my humble opinion...

    Vaccination Supplement

    He can go back to the doctor and ask for the DS-3025 Vaccination Worksheet. That is what you need to give to the civil surgeon who will fill out the I-693A.

    OK, I also need some clarification on this...In the AOS guide, it says "I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. (If you already have this from your overseas Visa Interview submit a copy that medical check form; No fee is required in this case. If you are a K-1 fiancé(e) or K-2 dependent who had a medical examination within the past year as required for the nonimmigrant fiancé(e) visa, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement (I-693A), not the entire medical report. You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment of status application.) "

    So we take the 3025 that my wife got at her medical exam (it was signed and dated by a doctor), and then take that with the I-693A to a civil surgeon, who then fills out the I-693A? Or do they just fill out the vaccination supplement? I guess part of why I am confused is that they kept the medical results when Ruth entered the country. Does that have anything to do with this at all? To re-state it, we need to look up a civil surgeon and have him/her fill out only the vaccination supplement? Or the entire I-693A? She had her medical at the embassy in Juarez but didn't get any vaccinations then...Thanks tons. I think this is the only area that I am not clear on for the AOS package (yeah, right!)

    Hey everyone- I am in need of a little bit of advice. It may be silly to ask this, because I can probably figure it out on my own... but...

    My fiance and I are really hoping to get married in the US next summer (2009). We will be filing the K-1 petition at the CSC, and since I understand that approval times usually take longer in CA, I was planning on sending in the petition late March (2008). Now, I realize that usually it takes around 8 or so months from the petition sending to having the visa in hand, so that only brings us to November-ish... however, once the NOA2 is issued, my fiance has 4 months to go to the interview, and then 6 months to come to the US, correct? I guess I'm just starting to get nervous and wondering what would happen if we had some miraculous speedy approval and he had to come here before we had planned. I will be graduating from college May 2009, which is why we were hoping to get married then. Does anyone have any advice? Did anyone get married at a court house before the actual big wedding just because they weren't prepared for a big wedding by the time their fiance came to the US? I suppose it wouldn't be the most horrible thing if he and I were able to be together sooner than we planned, but I'm just starting to worry that we shouldn't send the petition just yet.

    Perhaps I'm just looking for some reassurance or some personal experiences that can help me. Or maybe I just needed to talk it through for myself. Either way, any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys!!!

    Caity

    Ha ha....with all due respect, that is a funny one, Caity. Follow your heart. But I think most people would suggest starting the process whenever you are ready, because you never know-there could be something that comes up and makes it take longer than you are expecting. Then just get married within the time frame that is convenient for you. What a problem....You might be together too soon? Most people would envy that situation. Good luck to you and yours...
