Congratulations on the speedy approval,I'm truly impressed!

No,he came here in his 20's,married in his 30's.

His lawyer is supposedly one of the best immigration lawyers in Rhode Island...I beg to differ on that one!!

And the plot thickens....he doesn't want to leave the USA because his wife has serious mental problems(2 suicide attempts and was institutionalized for a month).

From the beginning,the fact that he was issued a work authorization has been cofusing,so I finally broke down and asked him why they gave it to him..He told me that his lawyer was able to get it for him since he had been in the USA for 12 years already.

I would like to thank everybody for the helpful input.With the information I have,it looks like he will have to start his immigration process from scratch and go back to his country.

I am referring to the I-130 when I say petition.The USCIS issued him his work authorization like I stated previously.I also told him to see his lawyer about filind an I-601 but he told me his lawyer said he couldn't do it because he already has his work authorization.He was never issued a two year green card.

The letter he received from the USCIS stated that his petition was approved but he cannot remove conditions.I also wonder why they issued a work authorization in the first place,it doesn't really make sense.

He only has a work authorization.The letter says he is not eligble for removal of conditions so now he just wants to know what his options are now.No it's not me,it's somebody I translate for!

Let me elaborate.Man comes here illegally,marries a USC,they have ,a child together,they file paperwork and the man receeives his work authorizationn only.They separate,the letter from USCIS states the petition was approved but he cannot remove conditions because he entered the US illegally.My question is,what can he do now?

What is the process for someone who married a USC,filed the required paperwork and just before they do the I-485,they experience an ugly breakup.They have a child together also.

Dear VJ readers:

AOS Despair (aka Julie) has kindly allowed me to use her VJ account to offer my advice column, Dear Joyce, here in OT.

For those of you who may not be familiar with me, I am the lovely lady, if I may toot my own horn, who appears in AOS Despair's signature. I released a self-titled album in the early 1980s, which included such chartbusters as "I Get All Excited," and "Get Your Hands Off My Polyester (I'm Not That Kind of Woman)."

I am a liberated woman who has much to offer today's discerning readers. Ladies, have you grown confused by the plethora of synthetic fabrics available today? Are you perplexed by all the conflicting advice out there about what to look for in a pantsuit? Have you ever been told that you can't beat a man at tennis, and other such put-downs? I can address these issues and more. I can give you tips on keeping your helmet hairstyle immobile amid the fiercest hurricane conditions, and never again will you wonder which earrings are optimal for complementing your giant, perfectly round tinted glasses.

And guys, I haven't forgotten about you. Are you finding it difficult to carry on a conversation with a career woman? Are you frustrated that women today don't know how to make a soufflé or prepare a fondue? Are you wondering why you can't seem to rope yourself a "Joyce"? Well, I've got advice for you too. Do you find it curious that these average Joes manage to "hook up" with Joyces while you're at home on a Friday night entertaining yourself, so to speak?

Please, don't be shy. Dear Joyce is at your service. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love,

OMG I havent seen you in awhile,Im so glad you're still here giving helpful advice!lol

Wow, you were working on this since 2007 too. Geez, too bad. But far better to get rid of him and move on.

Might want to look back now at the red flags you saw and re-evaluate. A lot of us excused things we saw that bothered us at the time but were explained away.

Red Flags: Baby mama drama from 2 ex "whatevers",could not hold a job neither here or in Panama,very sneaky with more stories than Mother Goose,his own family shuns him,very manipulative.

Like I said before,I'm glad to be rid of him!lol

Don't be sorry,I'm actually glad to be rid of him!

Thank you,it doesn't look like he's coming back to the USA,thank God!lol

I'm sorry to hear that things didn't work out. I remember what a long, hard journey it was for him to finally get here and I know you went through a lot. Hang in there.

Don't be sorry,I'm actually glad to be rid of him!

One of the most common things people tell me when i explain my long distance relationship situation is "you have never spent large amounts of time with him, how do you know things are gonna work out when you finally get to live together"......does anybody else hear this from people too??....i get the whole soulmate/true love/meant to be together stuff but does anybody have the conversation of "what happens if this doesn't work out"...now before anybody starts with the "if your saying that already then somethings wrong" comments, these kinda questions are legitimate stuff to consider.....thanks for reading..please no a**holey comments..thanks..

I used to get those comments all the time along with worse comments like "he's having sex with other women and he's just using you!"

Last year,I sent my husband back to Panama because he went on a cheating party among other things.He had only gotten his 2 year green card which expires next year.What will happen next?Do I have to go and explain the situation to USCIS?

My marriage is pretty much over. We got married almost 5 years ago. We have a19 month old.

Unfortunately my husband became verbally abusive shortly after my son was born, and its just getting worse. he is getting verbally abusive not only towards me but son too. He has never get physically abusive, However I don't want my son to grew up in an environment like that.

Over the weekend, we had an argument and I ask him to go to his mom house for a few days and he refused, so I said I was going to leave with our 19 month old( who I still nurse and wakes up several times at night). He got all upset and threatened me with calling USCIS and said that our marriage was fraud and do anything in his power to have USCIS revoke my citizenship( I became an US Citizen on April) so I can get deported back to Mexico and he will have full custody of our son, If I dared to leave or file for divorce.

I told him "Good Luck with that, I know I didn't commit any immigration fraud, I married you because I was in love with you". then he proceeded to threatened with calling USCIS and report my parents. My parents are currently out of status. I petitioned my mom back in June, and He signed the affidavit of support for her as Head of Household. We are waiting for an interview, so my moms faith will be decided soon regardless of his treats to call immigration on her. I will be filing for divorce so I was wondering if he actually call USCIS how this will affect my moms petition, since he signed the affidavit.. He knew since the first day we met that I was out status as well as my parents were. I never hid that from him. I didn't force him to sign anything, he even volunteered to sign the affidavit for my mom.

He openly said that he is willing to lie or do anything to take my son away from me. so I know if will be a nasty divorce and custody battle, he refuses to go the marriage counseling and anger management classes/program.

I'm not the perfect wife by any means but he keeps rubbing in my face that he is the bread winner so I should shut up and do what he says. Nothing I do is enough. if I have the house spotless he thinks he should not at least recognize it because that what I should do, its my job since I stay home with our son. I was working full time unfortunately I couldn't bring my son with me to the school I was working at, so I looked for another school and he would have to pick him up and he refused because all my income would have been use to paid for my sons other school, and he didn't want to waste an hour of his time driving to pick up my son. The whole time I worked I was the one paying the sitter. He was upset because most of my income was toward the sitter.. In my last effort to save my marriage I quit my job.It was the worse decision, now he treats me like he can control me and I have no saying just because he is the only one bring in income.. He also doesn't want me to teach/talk in Spanish to my son just to mention a few things that changed since I stopped working.

I was in denial and waiting for him to change since his dad passed away in August and I thought he was just depressed but I just don't see any hope for change at all. Its just getting worse.

La frescura de algunos hombres!You cannot get deported!If he goes to the USCIS and lies,he will be the one getting in trouble!Kick his sorry @ss to the curb,you and your son do not need that negative enviorment!

This tragedy happened practically in my back yard,I am still in shock!

I can't fly without showing my ID. Can you?

Not everybody flies. I have not crossed the land border since I was very young so I am not so sure about that. What does a Colombian illegal in Texas do to go home with that many borders to cross?

They can cross the border into Mexico and then take a bus to Colombia,it takes about a week!

Here's my favorite. English bulldogs. They're just so cute and cuddly. I wish they were not this expensive. I also love cocker spaniels, labradors, lasha apsos and blood hounds. I am just not a cat person.

A Brazilian woman has given birth to a two-headed baby boy and doctors say the newborn appears to be in good health. Maria de Nazare has decided to name the pair, who share a heart, lungs, liver and pelvis, Emanoel and Jesus.

"When doctors scanned her they realized that the baby had two heads and that a normal birth would be a great risk both for mother and baby," hospital director Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos told Brazil's O Povo newspaper. "The caesarean took an hour because the baby was sitting down."

"Despite all the problems we have as a small interior hospital we managed to save both mother and baby, which was our aim," he said. "And for us it was a great surprise to find out that the child was in really good health."

De Nazare was expecting twins and only found out about the two-headed child minutes before doctors advised her to have a caesarean birth in order to save both her life and that of her baby. Along with two heads, the 9.9 pound newborns have separate spines.

In some two-headed births where one brain is less developed, one head is removed in order to save the child's life. But rarer cases like this one, where there are two functioning brains, complicates the decision making process for doctors.

"If both their brains are functioning, how are we going to choose which head to remove?" said Neila Dahas, director of the Santa Casa hospital. "We are not considering the possibility of surgery. What we've got to think about at this moment is to maintain the children in good condition and see how they will develop."

Conjoined twins sharing a body, but with separate heads, are extremely rare but not without precedent. This is the second such birth in Brazil this year. However, the other child died after a few hours because of a lack of oxygen to one of the child's heads.

There have been at least 14 dicephalic conjoined twins born over the past 200 years.

In the United States, 21-year-old Abigail and Brittany Hensel were the subject of a 1996 documentary from The Learning Channel and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
