We are K3 applying for AOS but not sure when we'll get it all together yet. From what I've read K3's can't get a SS card until we get his EAD right? I looked at estimates for EAD and that's processing within 56-90 days depending on location.
What else should I be thinking about immigration wise and adjustment to the US right now?
Yep, I would advise that you file the EAD stand alone( a little bit more money, but worth it IMHO) and wait until he gets a SS# and subsequently more proof together to file with the AOS. You guys have already been married for 2 years so you dont have to wait for that to get the 10 yr... but you can still wait until you get some proof together for an easier approval/interview

what are NVC shortcuts? thanks
Check the "guides" section at the top of the page for some great info.

Hi,
Can you tell me in detail how the VSC pat of the process works? Do they send a notice to me? Do I need to call them? it seems like your case went fast after it left USCIS.
From your timeline, it looks like you just received your approval notice from VSC. Your case will be forwarded to NVC for a short stop and then sent on to the consul for interview scheduling. Check out the timelines for an idea about how long you will have to wait to hear from the consul for an interview date... good luck

Hi,
I just need to know on the affidavit of support question #11 which should be checked? Do I state my intent of support in detail or not? I not sure which one to check here.
Thanks for any insight you can share on this part of the form 
You write: "K visa, not applicable".

Good idea Aya!
We will be filing as soon as I get my tax transcripts. Everything else is copied/completed and ready to go.
My bank wouldnt allow me to add Y because they couldnt add a non citizen via mail or something like that(there are no BofAs in KY)so we opened a new joint account at a local bank once he got his SS#.
Jax, thats great you guys have an interview already! can you add him on some utility bills and the lease at least? Only one of ours would allow me to add his name and we got him added to the lease right away of course. Also, mail addressed to both of you will help. Even if you cant show a joint account the utility bills will show a) that he shares your address and b) that you ARE comingling finances/responsibility.
Good Luck everyone!

It had been over a year since I saw my husband by the time that he had his interview and that was just one visit. We had no problems whatsoever but we also didnt have any other red flags. As Kenza said(hey girl!) be prepared to answer that question with confidence when/if they ask why she has only been once. while it is common that people dont visit multiple times, it can raise "flags" at the consul depending on the other facts of your case.
Good Luck!

CONGRATS! Enjoy your life together

This is freaking GREAT news.
enjoy your trip back -
ok everybody...check this one out..i've been waiting to hear something from my st. reps. office...my hubby and i signed the form for them to be able to get info from the consulate...well, the consulate sent an email to my senators office instead of the st. reps office about our case...i just had to send the email we recieved about it to the st. reps....WTH????...This consulate is UNBELIEVABLE...
Wow

Inquiries, in the context of the 864? If so, probably none as payx said. Inquiries, as in checks in general.. NVC sometimes does do some AP.
-
agreed, if you can bring a print out showing that its YOUR number that your SO was calling, it will be a good thing. Otherwise, they usually wont consider it proof.
-
"because I was looking for a wife" isnt that the reason why you put yours up on a marriage website? Just tell the truth.
-
it looks like im stalking ya M4E lol
I dont think the wedding itself is the issue as much as the wedding PARTY. That is all that the CO was concerned about at our interview. Ally, I think its totally common to only have two witnesses for a wedding. Thats all they wanted in the judges office when we married anyway. Did you guys have a party though? Ours was small but it had a gazillion people crammed into the house and we got pics of all of us lol
We also went to a studio and had wedding pics taken afterwards... maybe you guys can have some late ones done when you go back next time.

The simple matter is this -
- you do not believe in separate vacations. This doesn't make you insecure, I too don't believe in my husband disappearing for 2 months, and my husband would "let" me go home if I needed (like an emergency) but for a vacation?... He would be a bit hurt and he would also wonder if he'd done something wrong or if I was upset with him or something
- if you are in a bad financial position at the moment, and he knows it, then leaving and putting it on credit is NOT okay. If his family paid for the trip would you be okay with it? I'm not saying they should, but wondering if the main part of the issue is money or his lack of wanting you to come
- I think you feel like he's being selfish and putting your JOINT holiday in jeopardy, and putting his mothers visit in jeopardy. i think that's making you a little upset that he isn't thinking about you. He's thinking about himself.
I am not surprised about the hating job thing. I suffered for 7 months in a very very bad job. I didn't just hate it and the people. I was being bullied and at one stage poisoned by staff (something I was highly allergic to was spread all over my jacket and work chair and stuff) but I stuck it out BECAUSE I NEEDED THE MONEY and because I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I do know the anxiety though. I lived at home with my parents though and I have to admit that helped. I'm sure hating his job adds a lot of additional stress on top of the leaving his home country stress.
I don't think you should accept it. I honestly suggest speaking to someone, perhaps a counsellor or something who can help him out. He could really want to go home and "escape" but he needs to know that he can't do that anymore. He's part of a family and he doesn't think for 1 person, he thinks for 2. Perhaps you speaking to someone together will help you talk about any issues you currently have and preventing any in the future.
Also consider getting a financial advisor perhaps to help you out financially. I can't help but feel like you think he's trying to rack up a whole bunch of debt in your name and then leave you. I think your calling you marriage a "good" marriage shows there's something else going on that you're not entirely sure about.
Marriages have disagreements but usually there's a way to compromise. I don't see how your compromise isn't good enough for him. I think, like someone else said, he's stressing out very hard right now and is looking for an escape.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you can work it out. Good luck!
all very well said Vanessa, and good suggestions.
My husband says I should go visit my brother back home and he would take care of J, just to get away. But thats for a long weekend in cali not 2-3 months accross an ocean. If I said I was going home for 2 months, he would freak out and wonder why I was running away for so long. I dont think its insecurity or anything like that... its just part of our beliefs in a partnership. We both agreed that he would not go home for extended periods without his family(us). If that is an expectation for one party but not the other, that can create a big problem.
Different people feel differently about this subject, it doesnt make one side right or wrong or insecure or whatever. I think the key is that your SO should respect your feelings about it. But I too feel like its mostly the monetary issue here rather than him going alone.
As far as an outside party to talk to... does your husband attend the local mosque? maybe he can talk to someone there he respects about it. Any self respecting man wouldnt say its ok to leave a wife to pay all the bills and struggle. Struggle being the key word... for those who are in a position to live off of one paycheck for three months, thats a different scenario of course. Im not saying there is anything wrong with husbands who do it as long as they arent leaving their wife in the lurch.
I know its easier and makes more sense to go for extending time when travelling so far, but not at the expense of your family. Thats how I feel about it anyway.

Well I wouldn't say it wasn't a denial. They don't send it back to the USCIS for review, they send it back because they believe he wasn't eligible for the petition, and that usually means that they are suggesting that the petition be revoked. They can refuse to give him a visa, but they can't revoke the petition. If this was basic AP they would send it to the DOS, not the USCIS. I think they are just trying to blow smoke up your azz.
Im sorry to say I totally agree. They cant deny cases at the consulars level..thats why they send them to USCIS

Yeah. The thing is that there was never any proof that Claire died. No body. I've learned that in movies and television, if there's no body, there's usually no dead person! That's also why I think Christian isn't "dead" per se. And we've seen the island's ability to "heal" people, without the need for the spring in the temple. For example, OFF the island, Locke couldn't walk. ON the island, he could. And there were occasional relapses throughout the season that indicated that he shouldn't take his ability to walk for granted... So despite what Benjamin said in an earlier episode, dead is not always dead on the island... "You don't get to come back from that" he said. Well, I think he's wrong!
P.S.: I like the Fiona Apple lyric in your sig. "Limp" is one of my favorite songs of hers.
no body=not dead does make sense..heh
also, Rose who was healed after coming to the island.
Another thing, Remember the emphasis that Claire had to raise Aaron, how does that play into it? Claire appearing to Kate off the island to tell her not to bring him back there. Maybe she knew she was "infected" so she wanted Aaron away from her. OR it could be that indeed it "should be" and Eusa doesnt want that for some reason.. Does that mean that the infected/inhabited get to bounce on and off the island like Jacob?
PSS- its one of the best lyrics ever, imho.

Im so sorry. It almost sounds like their hands were tied.
I agree it would be MUCH better if they got all their ducks in a row BEFORE calling and saying it will be printed.

They cant. USCIS is prohibited from recognizing same sex marriage for the purpose of receiving federal benefits(immigration)

Him going without you does not mean the end of your marriage. If that would lead to a divorce it was already heading in that direction. My husband went in August by himself. There is no way I could have gone because my company had 5 mandatory shutdowns last year, so going would have meant I would have had to take it unpaid. He had been here for almost 3 years, and to me it would have been selfish of me to refuse him to go just because I was so insecure in our relationship that I didn't want him to go without me. Actually I viewed it as an opportunity to enjoy some girl time.
He came back, no divorce, still in love. On the other hand you have some very valid concerns about the financial situation. If he insists on going, well I am the kind that would say to go ahead and go, but the fact that he doesn't care enough about me that he would leave that kind of financial burden on my head speaks volumes of his immaturity, and lack of commitment. I know that sounds harsh, but that is what I see as an outsider. I have never been known to hold back what I am feeling when it comes to these things when discussing it with my husband. Have you been 100% honest with him about both your fear of the financial problem as well as your insecurity in your relationship?
I agree that its totally different if you're ok with seperate vacations and you are willing to stay back while one goes. People do that all the time. The problem lies with as M4E said.. the non caring and immaturity of just hitting the road when its not going to work out for the other partner.

It's been that way for years now..
I hope you hear something soon and good luck

Jack and Claire are brother and sister. Claire was living in the temple. Then she striked out on her own. The guys comment to Jack about being infected, Jack not believing it, and then he said; "well it happened to your sister." He was referring to Claire.
Maybe Jacob is the evil one, and Esau (fake John Locke) is the good one. Maybe that is why John was pictured as Jesus Christ in this image?
Ya, I get that she was in the temple otherwise they wouldnt have known about her "infection". My thought/point is WHEN she was with Christian in the cabin.. was she dead(before being healed and susequnetly infected at the temple) or was she already infected or maybe it was before she even reached the temple?
I like the thought that Christian isnt dead but rather "inhabited"... That could be why he was chilling with Claire lol could all of the dead people that everyone has seen be actually Eaau temporarily inhabiting, or taking their form? If thats the case then it would make sense that Esau could be the good one since the dead seem to bring good advise/guidance to the lostees.
Remember in the first season, in the caves when Jack discovered the burial tomb with the black and white stones? Pretty simplified symbololism of Esau and Jacob now I guess.
Marilyn,
I know they said the note said they must save Sayid, but I dont think thats what it actually said... did you notice they asked each persons name and looked as if they were consulting the list after each one spoke up? Also, they seemed to want to speak to each one individually as if they had a purpose for each according to the list(note from Jacob)

When I first entered the workforce I had to work crappy jobs. Unless you have a desirable college degree, you have to "work your way up". I have a great job now but if I were to move to JO tommorrow, I woudlnt be able to find my dream job right away. I dont understand the unrealistic ideas that some people have when entering the workforce for the first time. It sucks at first... everyone does it. The difference is most of us did it in our late teens and maybe early twenties. Immigrants sometimes have to "start over" here midlife, which sucks but it goes with the territory. Its part of the deal in immigrating to a new country... ok thats my late night thoughts on that, sorry.
Now about your husband's want to go home for months while you work, anyone can see that is not fair or right. With the risk of sounding sexist, it would be different if he was the wife and asking you to carry the burden of all the bills while he went on vacation. I agree with the other poster that said it sounds like he just wants to "run away". Its immature and selfish. Hopefully you can convey this to him in a delicate way. This shouldnt end your marriage, hopefully you guys can communicate and solve it. Is he one to share his feelings? Perhaps he is just freaking out and his knee jerk reaction is "im going home". I moved accross country and left my family when I was 19 and when things got hard, my first thought was always....Im going back home!! I managed to work through that with the help of some friends and family here. My rambling point is; I know that feeling and it can be worked through.
If he insists on leaving you with the household while he goes home for months, then perhaps its time for you to step back and rethink alot of things.

Ok... so the temple people are the whisperers right?
the whispers were heard when "others" were around... But, the whisperers were also heard when a "dead" person appeared to another character also... whats up with that?
Claire was with Christian in the log cabin, so it was assumed she was dead. Was she dead for a period of time and then was dunked in the spring or did she go sit with Christian after she "turned bad". this also explains Ben's evil like behavior eh? but he has very human elements as well... will Claire and Sayid be like that as well?
I dont think Jacob is in Sayid or the temple folk wouldnt want to poison him would they? They
Jacob so why would they want to kill someone whom he is inhabiting.. that note was just a list of the names of the group who got to the temple with Sayid.. I think thats all that was written and its up to whats his face to figure out what Jacob meant.
The parralell universe/reality thing is alomst too much for me...but of course Im addicted and love the "wth?!" lol

Well, you know what i have been meaning to research since we talked earlier about this... once the MD signs off on the K3 medical vaccinations ect from back home.. doesnt that 1 yr expiration date extend? See what Im saying? I mean, if they are valid for one year and the MD accepts that; doesnt that mean the exam the new MD preforms is actually the new exam date? I'm going off to check that out.. I'll be back
I dont know what else you can provide if you dont have bills,lease ect... take TONS of pics and maybe some letters from friends and family?
