It all boils down to money, or lack of it, not being the son of a billionaire, couldn't hop in my private jet and see her anytime I wanted to.
To get that money, had to take on extra jobs, not only working 16 hours a day, but also on weekends. Ha, told myself, was fat, dumb, and kind of happy before I met her. Not only a pile of it for our USCIS, they sure know how to rob us blind, we do all the work and give them a pile of forms to glance over, but also for their USCIS doctors that rob you blind to fill out a simple form.
But was even worse on her side with crooked judges and notaries to get the required documents we needed to make the USCIS happy. Without stipends to their Miami bank accounts, would take years to get anything done. Then plane tickets.
Our USCIS seems to be more honest in this respect, don't have anything like you may call and expedient fee. With them, you just have to wait your turn in line, and that line is very very long.
And when you make that extra money, the state and federal IRS, and FICA taxes want a huge chunk of it, none of this immigration stuff is tax deducible.
We were also in the same boat as anyone else, living from paycheck to paycheck, had to get our finances in order, get rid of debts, worthless junk we have accumulated realizing the only thing to true happiness was being together. Our entire life structure was altered. So we both had plenty of things to do while waiting.
Ha, was going through this right now, we both sat down and looked over all these Black Friday ads, no way did we want to wait in long lines in cold weather to get into a store. Just ordered one 80 buck item off the internet that we would use both together. When we first got married, wanted to keep her happy, so remodeled our home to her liking. But just purchased the materials and did all the work myself. Didn't go in further debt, we changed each others life.
Never believed in soulmates until I met her. For what we had to go through to be together was a lot of cooperation and hard work and wasn't fun dealing with the USCIS to be automatically guilty of fraud until we proved ourselves innocent.
If you truly want to be together, it takes plenty of hard work, money, and patience, and also lots of study, and both of you have to make this commitment if you really want to be together. We learned in this long process, we could work together, never an argument, but a serious discussion on solving problems, together. And both working hard to get there, together.

Back then, all of this USCIS stuff was totally new to me, but did know one thing. After our marriage, we spent our honeymoon filling out USCIS forms. We also had that I-94 expiration date to meet.
Also learned about that I-539 visa extension form, 300 bucks as I recall in case we didn't make it. The thing is, they don't give us big signs to read as to what you have to do, but you have to dig in and find it for yourself. Was also a panic to gather all the documents they wanted, but this was done before my wife and stepdaughter came here.
Was so naive on this subject, just thought we could get married and live happily ever after, ha, my wife to be knew more about immigration than I did. But with work on a complex project, just cheated and hired a top immigration attorney for guidance. He emailed a list of the forms and the evidence we needed to compile. During our dating stage, already knew about that I-94 and the consequences of overstaying it.
We did get our forms in on time, received an NOA that my wife and stepdaughter were clear to stay here just after two weeks we sent those in. That is when we could finally relax, but took almost a year before we were called in for our interview.
One may think for what the USCIS charges, you could walk into a field office and get help with what has to be done and even help in filling out those long crazy forms the way they want to. But they don't do this!
But no different with the IRS with over a thousand different forms and 13,000 pages of tax laws, this I did know something about. Why in the hell does our government have to make what should be simple so complicated? And why are we like dumb sheep following our shepherd only to be led to a slaughter house?
My immigration attorney made the comment several times, if it was easy, he wouldn't have a job. I have the immigration papers for my grandfather, was filled out by an agent at Ellis Island, and just one simple one page form even I could comprehend. Then six weeks of schooling on a Monday and Wednesday night to learn how to become a US citizen. Six weeks after he came here, was a US citizen.
Things sure changed since then. I have to laugh really hard when I read that bit about a paper reduction act at the end of each instruction sheet. Wife saw her file, was 4" inches thick!
So sorry you didn't take of all these things in advance and can only wonder how this was done even twenty years ago? Was no internet back then.
Could also ask why we have a country led by attorneys, but they are sure helping their brother attorneys with lots of extra work.

This photo in my avatar is an immigrant from Germany, and the poem on the Statue of Liberty sure applied to him. He was poor and very welcomed here, didn't even have to file an I-864. Didn't need a K-1 either. Did have his medical records, but no filing of that I-693, and never was required to have a green card.
No dealings with the NVC either with no limits on the amount of dogs you can bring here. Probably should be quiet on this issue, may have some new laws. So no dealings with the USCIS, NVC, nor the DOS.
Now bringing a member of the animal kingdom here that can walk upright, this is when you run into all kinds of problems and expenses.

Questions like, did you ever commit a crime you were never caught for will pop up. If found guilty later on, can be deported for just lying on your application. Not so much the crime itself.
I am aware of your situation, but not with one, but two probationary immigrants in my home, but had the luxury of being self employed so could ride with them. The risk is of triple jeopardy, the law, your insurance company, and the USCIS, not worth the risk.
And an accident does not have to be your fault, another consideration. Can lose your probationary license, depending on your state, have a years suspension, and have to do it all over again. Latest bug with the USCIS is showing your tickets, why you got them, and if you paid the fines. Even in some cases, a simple parking ticket.

All I know on this subject as a natural born US citizen, it is against the law for me to petition for my stepson, because he was barely over the age of 21. This is the law, my wife could only petition for him, but not until she became a LPR.
But at this time, she was strongly advised to wait until she became a US citizen, because as an LPR, the process would take at least five years longer. And she should get her US citizenship first because it would shorten this delay by at least two years. So we waited. Her petition was approved in the usual long wait with the USCIC in a little over a year.
In this same time period, we had a change of presidents and we learned via our senators that it is the president that has absolute control over the NVC and limits the number of visas they will issue based on the countries where the immigrant is from.
At first it was Iraq where Iraqi's were giving number one priority for helping our US military, this shifted to Afghanistan, and for whatever maybe racial, Africa was given number two priority. My stepson is in Latin America, that was dropped to the very bottom of the list given just a small handful of visas. If you want to know the time span, hitting close to ten years now and still waiting. With no hope of getting him here.
Ironically in terms of illegals, how about an illegal child that gets pregnant at 14 years of age and by some weird interpretation of the 14th amendment, that baby is born a US citizen. Then eligible for all kinds of social welfare including Medicaid, WIC, food stamps, and even a paycheck.
Compare this with a family of six where four kids were born here, one year apart and the illegal father was caught and deported. Will not deport the children, because they were born here, nor the mother because she has to take care of these US citizen children. Not permitted to work here, but goes on welfare, full insurance with Medicaid, and other benefits. As oppose to legally bring a child here that cost a US citizen a small fortune. US citizen has to pay a fortune to bring that child here then liable for full care because of this I-864 we are forced to sign.
We are suppose to be a country of representation, but yet if you contact your senator or congressman, they have no say in this matter. Over the years, our congress has given the president more and more powers, so in effect, we have a dictator in charge. Even to the extent of declaring war. Last time our congress declared a war was for WW II.
So how did we become this way? Good luck in attempting to sue the government, how about a president that broke 694 constitutional that got off free. Only advice I can give, is don't swipe a candy bar from a store, if you get caught, will end up in jail.

Already have a ton of immigration laws, but apparently not enforced. When dating my wife, was very cautious about getting her on the plane before her I-94 ran out. Only to read later on that there are over 10 million people here, have no idea who counted these are here with way overstayed visas, like 20-30 years.
Had some strange idea if we were one day late, guys in black suits would be knocking at my door.
Now in terms of law enforcement, no problems with the IRS, the city tax collector, or the cops when driving 26 mph in a 25 mph zone. Right there on the spot.
Also understand that very few come here by taking that 100 mile walk across the desert, but this is what they take about in building a huge fence. But with overstayed visas, the key reason, they have a record of this, but just don't do anything about it. States are taking a beating on this issue, but have no authority, its up to the feds.
If you really want to raise a flag about coming here illegally, try to do it legally by sending in applications. This is when we are put on that red carpet and treated like criminals until we prove ourselves innocent.

Oh, if you are a male between 18 and 26 years of age, better apply for selective service, can do this on line, if you don't, will be in trouble. You will never be called, but you have to do it anyway or be in trouble with the USCIS.
Should be a brochure that came in with your green card, surprised the number of people that come to this board, get all excited about getting their green card, and don't read this brochure with all the rules you have to follow and just pitch it in the trashcan. Then come here with problems with no solutions because they did not follow the rules.
Also plan on being very very good until you receive your citizenship. And guard that card with your life, cost $$$$ to replace it.

Consistent ignoring a person is most certainly a form of abuse and certainly mental torture.
Not one but two of my wife's close friends married jerks like this, it was unbelievable to me how they treated their wives even in public, and especially in front of us. Both ended up returning to their home country.
Without an AOS, can't even be here legally, sooner or later that visa is going to run out, can be future problems for you.

Can't get into a debate about the effects of these shots, but can say, if you already have proof that you received some of these vaccinations, don't have to get them again.
But medical providers sure take advantage of this with outrageous prices on some of these requirements, when you can get the same exact vaccinations for a couple of dollars or even for free from your local county health department. Heck one doctor wanted 500 bucks for an HIV test. With two immigrants, that is a thousand bucks! Just got those done from our local county health department with a certificate from the University Wisconsin Medical school for 25 bucks each.
Bu pretyping in the heading on two I-693's and printing out neat copies so the doctor could hen scratch in the rest of it, providing all the required shot certificates and other test. And finding a USCIS approved doctor that would go along with it, got by with $800.00 for two of them, instead as much as $11,000.00 from some so called medical providers.
Doctor also commented, was the easiest I-693 he ever had to fill out, everything was there in an organized fashion. But he still made 800 bucks for less than about a half hours worth of work.
Don't know about your health insurance coverage, mine does not cover filling out an I-693, but did have to drive my girls 300 miles round trip to get it done.
Ha, already asked if I needed these tests done on myself, since I was living with these gals and in close contact with one of them. No you don't, you are already a US citizen.

No, wife had to show the USCIS her home country passport and country ID to get a green card, plus her birth certificate in that all the birth dates were the same. That is the birth date they used on her green card.
If you green card was printed in error, suppose to return it and get it corrected. Assume the error is in your green card.

Asked this same question from my immigration attorney, said do not change the form, she was out of the country for the time she was not an LPR and for the the three short trips she took while an LPR. For us that was 409 days and that is what we put in. The table below does specify the trips as an LPR, that preceding question does not, just says five years.
That idiot Emilio put that question in, ambiguous, and as a poor English speaking Cuban refugee, was put in charge of the USCIS because somehow he helped Bush get elected. And with three acting directors since then, still haven't corrected this form.
My thought on this issue is the most accurate thing to put in that box is N/A since you are applying for the 3 and not the 5 year year. Since this section deals with meeting the residency requirements, should have a total box under that table. But to the best of my knowledge, most IO's ignore whatever you do with that box.

Putting my wife to be on the plane before her I-94 expired was a constant threat, not her, but know of others, were okay after they went through the POE. But due to flight delays, had to live in that airport for a couple of days.
But I wondered about this since the vast majority of undocumented persons, LOL, have to be politically correct are here on overstayed visas. Don't they even check on this?
On practically every immigrant application form, they asked you if you ever overstayed your visa, if you answered no, and just even overstayed one for one day, will deport you for lying on your application. We made darn sure we could safely answer NO to these questions. But I gather this would never hold for all the illegals here. Not that many come here by crossing that long desert.
Can be sympathetic to kids that were brought here by their parents, they had no say in this matter.
One thing you do when applying legally is putting a huge red flag on yourself with the USCIS. But apparently no red flags on illegals. At times I feel we are led by a group of people that are idiots.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro, only typed out the SSA application once for my wife and daughter, making changes for each phase. Last one was easy, just changed her status and the date and had her sign the form. Took that and her certificate to our SS office that is at a town I do business with, they copied her certificate, and sent her a new card about two weeks later. From her probationary card, her SS number has remained the same, checked that as she already paid in benefits.
If you really have deep faith in our system, you could mail your certificate in with your application, I don't seem to have that faith so rather bring it in myself and bring it out myself. Would be very inconvenient for my wife to do it as the SS office is only opened during working hours, she would have to take time off without pay.
As I recall, first she was an immigrant allowed to work, had to show her EAD card for that, then she was a LPR, that got her and SS card with that probationary removed, then a USC. As a tradition in her home country, wanted her maiden name included with her married name, but she dropped that with her USC, way too confusing with the computer systems we have today so her newest card just contains her first, middle, and married last name. Believe I also needed our marriage certificate besides her passport and EAD for her first application, just her green card for the second, and her USC certificate for the last. Yeah, and took her drivers's license with me too. That is kind of stupid as she got her drivers' license based on her green card. We have idiots running this country.

Only requirement for letters of affidavits we ran into was during that I-751 removal of conditions stage. Two were required, and had to be notarized.
The psychology of this can be misread, send too much non-required evidence of a relationship, could be the person on the other end suspects you of trying to get away with something.
Would only send what's required.

Well if working on an extremely complex engineering project that pumps your brain 24/7, don't know the first thing about immigration and don't even know where to start or how to even bring a person here. Finding a great one is the way to go. Another factor is money versus time, if low on funds, doing it the hard way may be the only option.
The one I found wrote books on this subject, our agreement was for a flat fee, he would be the teacher, I would be the student. After a brief phone conversation answering questions, this guy didn't BS telling me how great he is. Asked key questions, gave answers, from that told me the best way to bring my girls here and what evidence I needed.
He sent special Acrobat forms, a get of a lot nicer than the ones you download, had choice of fonts and would automatically compress those long Spanish names. We filled all those out, he made corrections, emailed us the final forms for approval then FedEx those same forms of signatures that we FedExed back with all of our evidence.
His fee was $750.00 in advance, $750 balance due when my girls received their green cards. When the USCIS saw his name on the forms, didn't even want to see our original evidence. That was the only really nice interview we had. Learned a lot in that process, when it came to the I-751 and N-400's, said we could to that ourselves. But did check over our forms for no extra charge, also pointed out a couple of errors in those.
Yes, you can really get screwed by attorney's, you don't just walk in, but have a contract that spells out all the details.

About the only information we could get is to go here.

USCIS is very date specific, like with my stepson, a month older than 21, could not petition for me, or my stepdaughter, six days older than 18 so couldn't be an automatic citizen when her mom was naturalized. Any proof of excessive delays in processing was a worthless argument, was a conservative argument, 18 is 18,
In regards to filing out the form, even though your girls are female and even over 26 years of age, make sure you type in a N/A on that selective service thing.
They do say 90 days before your third green card anniversary date, but what day do you count from, the day of your anniversary or the day before? On this bases, we just used 88 days, and the day we typed on the application looking at the calendar was exactly the same date we send it off. Even though the package sat on the counter for a couple of days.
For my stepdaughter's N-400, single, female, didn't give any money to the United Way, etc., her N-400 consisted mostly of N/A's. Ha, normally have to print out those ten pages, 3 or 4 times to make sure every single line is correct.
Legally, they can keep your check and return your application with just one simple error. And doesn't seem to make any difference whether it yours or theres.
Why can't that have two N-400 forms? One for the three year the other for the five, using a common form and really twist your brain. Then they have the nerve to say, average time is six hours. After you download and read that M-476 manual, all the latest supplements, latest form, compile all that evidence they want again, more like 40 hours. In that latest supplement for evidence, use the legal term, OR, when your IO reads that as AND.
Then you are dealing with one IO that thinks, he or she is some kind of a god.

Wife in her home country applied for an international driver's license, in her home country, no written or driver's road test to get it, just a matter of paying the fee. My insurance company honored it, and by adding her to my policy, actually reduced our rates. Guess they figured was no longer a bachelor chasing around at night.
With the Wisconsin DMV, wouldn't even talk to her until she at least received an EAD card and an SS card. But when she did, treated her like a kid in high school for a first time driver's license, written test, road test, then only a three year probationary license.
That was a mess, it expired when she had that one year extension on her expired conditional green card, so they refused to renew it. So I called the governs office and had to explain how the USCIS operates. Then they finally issued her a permanent eight year license.
When she received her certificate of citizenship, I took that in to show them after that long hassle with them. They told me they don't have to see it, but since she checked that LPR box, they insisted on seeing that valid green card. They said all she has to do next time is to check that I am a US citizen box, no questions or proof required. So I replied, if she checked that box when she replied, you require no proof of US citizenship? No reply.
Then I responded, an illegal can come here and check that box and get a license? Again no reply. But if she did check that box to get her license, would have been in deep trouble with the USCIS.
The more incidents I ran into for my country I was expected to die for, the more I realized, living in a country ran by idiots. In another incident, that same DMV issued a driver's license to a mentally ill kid, in a court of law, they weren't even liable for this. Kid didn't have any insurance, so my company took care of that, they were liable. So if the DMV is not even liable, why do we even have one? Would think insurance companies would issue a driver's license.

Good advice, this happened to one of my wife's friends that came here, with legal help, a restraining order was put against her abusive husband. This was in Milwaukee and they also have a home there for abused women with free room and board. And help was there so she could get back on her feet. So there are ways she can do this, if she wants to. I met her husband, this guy was a first class jerk, never physically abused her, but was constantly verbally insulting her. Just told him to back off in our presence, he did. But help is available to her, if she wants it.

And why Syria when the supporters of that regime are Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and Venezuela. These are the countries we should be going after!

And no information about the number of people in Syria that are supporting the regime. Population of Syria is approximately 27 million and from all indications the number of rebels is just a small percentage. So if we do take out their regime, we will be making a lot more enemies and can add to these numbers, the countries that are supporting this regime.

All of this BS started at the end of WW II when our key allies, the Soviets and China turned against us. We were never fighting the North Koreans, but the Soviets and China instead. Same BS with Viet Nam, and Iraq, only God knows about Afghanistan, really no regime whatsoever, just thousands of war lords to deal with, not just one small group of people.

And if we do take out the regime in Syria, who would take over? Another equally corrupt regime? This won't solve anything, they will still be supported by these other countries!

And what difference does using chemical weapons make, they all kill and wound. My God, my family was attacked in this country by Land O' Lakes mixing sodium hyper chloride with ammonia forming chlorine gas, couldn't do a damn thing about that except take huge losses and move, by DNR approved dumping.

Can only view this action as making even more enemies, more terrorists groups wanting revenge, and more danger to us. And just can't believe MY country is going to start, yet another war. From every poll I have read so far, the vast majority of Americans are against this action, so why isn't our president listening? If Syria attacks us, this would be an entirely different story. This action would not only cost us millions of dollars, but will be creating more enemies as well. And nothing will change afterwards.

Another thing that bothers me, not fighting an enemy in uniform anymore, really putting our troupes in an awkward position. And with any war, air power never worked, need ground troupes. Can only wonder what Obama learned in college, but really only have to open your eyes and see for yourself exactly what all these wars gained us. Nothing, except a VA hospital loaded with troupes.

At least samiha appreciated my advice, simple fact of the matter, its easy to get married, but divorce is a terrible ordeal to go through. And the only test of compatibility for any couple is time. Call that an advantage of dealing with immigration doing it the proper way to learn if those long waits, a couple will stick it out.
I don't see you offering any good advice, and apparently a person with a heavy chip on your shoulder, and my comments were directed to her, and not to you.
Other issues involve each of the the two should meet each others family, don't recall samiha even coming here to meet her husbands family, and also there is a culture shock. Then is his street paved with gold or some kind of hellhole. Other woman that came here learned quickly they won't be persons, just salves. To bad she didn't read other sections of what other women went through by coming here.
