VERY PROVOCATIVE!!!!

Will be interesting to see how riled up and excited people get over this one!!!

Why would you not fill out the forms in English, considering they are being submitted to a U.S. government agency? I know that depending on the embassy, some documents can be submitted in the local language but not filling out the forms at the very least in english?? Especially if they have to be moved or reviewed by others outside the embassy at some other point i would think this shouldnt be a question.

I have received citizenship in Sweden and although i technically could have submitted the forms in english,,, i was submitting to the SWEDISH immigration board. Just a matter of showing good faith and respect.

wonder if those that "over talk" such as the 4 or 5 times a day and for hours mentioned in this thread might find they have nothing to talk about when they finally can be together in person. There is of course lots of romantic banter during the desperate waiting phase but in many cases it might be just that.

He will have to show hie birth certificate. At least that was one of the standard requirements on the checklist we had.

Just send a letter to USCIS with the info suplementing what you already sent and explain the oversight. I wouldnt think u have much to worry about as long as you correct it. Or you could wait until the interview and make a note of it there.

Hello everyone. I have been reading a bunch of the posts and I had a few questions. I am from Canada and my husband is from the US. We were legally married at the end of January and we were going to go through the K-3 spouse visa process. However, I have decided that I would like to attend his school in september. Is this a possibility? Can I go into the US on a student visa? Has anyone else done this?

If not, I was wondering if it would work if we got divorced and then remarried a few months later when I got to the US on my student visa and then applied for a change of status. Would they know that we had already been married?

That is a terrible idea. He will have to answer questions about previous marriages and provide divorce certificates. You will be completely busted on that one.

Also, if we have to go through the K-3 route, we have booked our honeymoon at the end of July and we fly from detroit to seattle. If we had started the process for the K-3 would that mean that I wouldn't get to go on my honeymoon because I would have to enter the US? Should we then wait to file until after the honeymoon?

You will not be able to enter the u.s. once the k3 is processing until it is approved.

Is there any way we can be together by September????

Also, my US husband is living in Michigan. Does anyone know where he's supposed to file the paper work? I have no idea about where the consulates are or who we are supposed to go through. Thanks

He will send i130 to chicago and i129f to CSC

Also, what if we decide to come to Canada instead? Can we just leave the whole immigration process for now and I would just go to the US on a student visa for 2 years and then we could decide what we wanted to do?

Are you saying he would take up residence in canada and keep going to school in the u.s? That one seems messy. He would definatly loose his resident status for tuition purposes, pell grants, federal loans etc.. I would assume. If he officially moved to canada and met the residency requiremens (6 months) you would file DCF. In our case DCF took just over 3 months from filing to visa.

I generally do between 2-6 hours, sometimes we do it on web cam. Then if I've been out for a few beers I can drunk dial and stay up half the night at weekends! Gorilla Mobile take a lot of money off me!

HAHAHAHA!!!! IM A DRUNK DIALER SOMETIMES TOO!!

i meant to say if i129f and i130 were approved at the same time,, does this mean automatic cr1?

no

MY MAN! Thanks!!

so as far as my brother getting his wife here ASAP, he should just roll with the approved i129 and k3?

i meant to say if i129f and i130 were approved at the same time,, does this mean automatic cr1?

if a couple received i129f and i-130 i meant to say.

I have a question..

if a couple received k3 and i-130 approval at the same time, does this mean that the consulate will automatically process the beneficiary for cr1 instead of k3? If not,, how does it work?

she will get the checklist of stuff she has to bring to embassy and an appointment time.

I even heard one guy say that he was going to divorce his wife just to apply for the fiance visa and get her here faster. That is a crying SHAME to even have to go that far. Though I personally doubt that they'd get anywhere with that idea. But who am I.

Anyway, any comments?

That dude is an idiot and going to get him self into a mess when he has to answer questions about previous marriages. He might as well kiss any hope of a visa goodbye.

Married couples also have to prove that they marriage is for real.Thinking about this is pointless because I can't change anything.I just want to be with my husband asap just like everybody else everybody else want to be with their loved ones.That is why we got married to be together always and not Atlantic ocean apart.And just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, my husband got the letter from VSC saying they have lost our I-129F application!Does anyone know what should we do next?Resubmit it?That means I have to send him G325a and passport photos and since I'm from Serbia that could take a while.

Why would being from serbia make anything take longer? There is DHL and FedEx in serbia. 2 day transit time. Should be like 100 bucks or something.

you are filing DCF. just one copy each.

you dont get much cheaper than dcf.

if she hasent legally changed her name, her name is what her name is.

or does it work differently in phillipines??

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOO HOOOO!!!

BUT... After the wait we all go through,,, why not take the first and earliest available date??? Just get things done and get the plane ticket.

"""But they do kill them in Iran. TODAY. """

NOW THAT IS GHEY!!!!!!

Pitiful!!

Was so funny when dude was at Columbia University... A bit out of his intellectual league. Came off as a total douche bag.

I was pleased.

Can anyone tell me what DCF filing is?

Gogle is awesome:

USCIS + Toronto + DCF

just fill out your forms and turn them in at the embassy in Canada. you wont have to deal with uscis dos etc.. IF YOU ARE LUCKY,, and will get your issues sorted quickly.

Amber who sat on your arm? Did she even realize?

I'm sorry xD

seatguru Never heard of it. Awesome, thanks

I'm like...meh, I hate flying. I'm absolutely fine domestic, couldn't care less, but nah this is like...7 or 8 hours or something, DC to London.

I can't ever decide where to sit/what to do on planes On the one hand, I want to sit at the window because there I might could actually sleep, something to lean against. On the other, I NEVER pick a window seat because 1. I don't wanna be in that sad situation where you gotta go to the bathroom and you're like trapped in because the guy on the aisle is sleeping and you don't wanna wake him and oh I hate that and 2. if the plane starts going down and everyone's gonna die anyway I'm one of those people that knows where the exit is exactly and already has the escape route mapped out and sitting window is not going to help in that situation xD and 3. I superstitiously believe that if I pick an aisle seat early, if there ARE any seats empty on the plane, people are less likely to sit next to me because no one else wants to be blocked in, either.

I have had my own row a fair few times but I doubt it has anything to do with strategy xD My SO one time got an entire CABIN to himself. How does that even happen?

How do you guys feel about putting your seats back? I never will I want to but I feel SO guilty, because I'm totally screwing over the guy behind me, I feel like. I'll never touch that button. And then the dude in front of me puts his all the way back. And then it's so uncomfortable the whole way One time I had managed to fall asleep with my head down on the tray thing and the guy in front put his chair all the way back very abruptly and squishified the hell out of my head

HAHAHAHA... very scandinavian of you not to want to put the seat down. I feel like that sometimes BUT... you put yours down,, the person behind will put theirs down... will be a domino effect until the person that has the last seat on the plane... Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do!!!

I am an american. Was married to a Swedish woman and we lived in the u.s. We divorced in 2005 and i lived with another girl (sambo) for 2 years.

I applied for swedish citizenship and received it within 2 weeks of filing. Amazing.

Ahhh...that's true, exit rows do have those.

Tip for anyone flying Delta which I did once last year (I almost always go Continental) - the exit rows have ridiculous amazing leg room. Don't have to worry about the guy in front of you's chair going back, tons to stretch out, etc.

Of course the problem is IF you're so lucky as to also have the entire row to yourself, as I was, and you get all weepy thinking it's the best flight ever, realize first that the armrests don't go up so no you can't just lay down and go to sleep

I gotta fly United for the first time in a couple months. Any tips for that one? It's out of D.C. too so I'm a bit worried, not my usual routine

all aircraft are different, as we know and airlines are always changing their configurations. seatguru.com will give you the low down. Honestly, all domestic flights suck so unless you can get a good seat or fly first class... its all the same sh*t!

I've never actually had a bad experience on a plane with kids, that I can remember. I'm always terrified when I see a dozen toddlers hobbling on, think it's gonna be a terrible flight. But babies always seem to go right to sleep.

Have you guys seen the little ones that have just learned to walk, and are so excited and jubilant they just walk up and down and up and down the aisles the entire eight hours, and their parent(s) have to follow them up and down and up and down. Maybe that annoys some people. I love that xD It's so funny.

The overly-endowed-with-fatty-goodness people is a much bigger issue for me This has now happened to me a couple times, where the person next to me would literally be taking up half my seat, couldn't even put the armrest down, etc I'm just really glad that I'm not as big as I used to be because what do they do if there's two kind of bigger people trying to sit next to one another?

I didn't mind so much the first time this ever happened because it was only like a two hour flight and I knew ahead of time there was no way, that I was screwed. It was a layover in Dallas or somewhere in Texas which I'd never been to, and EVERYONE was kind of huge, and I was just looking around going ...oh...my god xD This is gonna be bad xD

The other time though it was one of those three-seats rows, and I got wedged in BETWEEN a pretty big COUPLE which I thought was so #######. I just felt kind of...returned to the womb the whole time I guess when they picked their seats they left that middle one clear knowing they couldn't fit next to each other and hoping no one would pick that seat, but usually when I fly all the seats are sold, so...ugh I don't know how they could solve this, I mean...DOES seem like okay, should just have to buy another seat, but that's kind of harsh. It'd be nice if they had some kind of like...nonfull price the bigger guys had to pay or something :\ I don't know.

I am very irritated by having to share my space with those that were "not accomidated with larger seats" BUT..... I once had a flight from new orleans and was seated in the same row with several of the most famous blues musicians from the city. AND THESE WERE SOME BIG A*S DUDES!!! But being a musician myself and being with legends,, i loved being squeezed in between them,,, talking about music,, having some drinks and them joking about how skinny and white i was.. HAHAHAHAHAHA... ONE IN A MILLION!!

Generally, I don't mind, because most parents work at making the flight as easy as possible on their children and the other passengers. I can sympathize with young babies reacting to the changes in cabin pressure as the plane ascends and descends and they generally don't cry for the whole flight.

There was one flight from Atlanta to Detroit, however, that was a nightmare. In the seat right behind me was a screaming brat - and I mean brat. (The 2 seats beside me were empty - the only empty ones on the flight). The kid didn't want to sit still in his seat so started to scream. His parents were totally ineffective. He kept undoing his seatbelt and standing up on his seat. His parents did nothing. When the stewardess came by and told them to make him sit, he started to scream and kick the back of my seat again. The only time he was silent is when he was scrambling over top of his parents and dashing up and down the aisle of the plane. His parents again did nothing until the stewardess told them to get him and make him sit down. They strapped him into his seat and he began screaming and kicking the back of my seat again. I moved to the seat closest to the window to get away from him but it didn't help. I heard them trying to bribe him with candy, with promises of toys, with promises of movies, everything. Not once did they exert any discipline on the child. He was 4, maybe 5 years old - certainly old enough to behave a lot better than he did. In this case, I blame the parents completely. That was the longest, most trying flight I have ever had in my life - and I know I was not alone. I had a horrible headache by the time we arrived. The parents didn't even have the courtesy to apologize.

I think i could manage the 2 hours from atlanta to detroit!!!! life could be worse!!!

Still... bothersome!!!
