Awesome! Thank you very much.

Congrats! 10 months....wow I hope ours goes that fast!

Excellent! Thanks for responding.

Everything else in the 1-130 packet, does it need to be certified or notorized or can they just be copies?

Greetings again guys/gals.

I am putting the final touches to my paperwork and now I have a question. The instrusctions say a certified copy of my divorce decree. Now I have done many modifications to my divorce decree in the last year, Do i need to include all the changes or just the original? The changes include getting joint physical and legal custody of my children, termination of all child support and a few other minor details. They are not on my original copy as they were done after the divorce. Should I include the changes also? Thanks!

www.magicjack.com offers you $40 at once which includes phone number of your wish and no monthly fee only annual fee is $19.9 after one year.

you just need a internet connecton.

Acually with that you need a computer. and a telephone. I know the packet 8 you get a phone/router all in one unit.

Does it work for morocco?

It will work anywere, its all done over the internet. I will add that you can call any landline or cell phone in the US or Canada and the other countries listed for your calling plan. All thats needed is a high speed internet connection.

Hello again,

I was doing some reading and I thought I would pass this on to anyone interested. Are you tired of high phone bills or having to use calling cards to talk to your loved ones that are thousands of miles away? Do they have high speed Internet available? Well you can do what I did for my wife. I bought a packet 8 ( www.packet8.net ) Internet phone and subscribed it here and then sent it to her in the Philippines. They have several different calling plans available. I choose the freedom unlimited. Total cost with her Internet connection and the phone service is around $55 a month. If your like us you could spend that in one week talking. Here is the beauty of doing this. If she or him has other family and friends living here in the states, Canada or a few other countries, she can call them for free. Here is the bad, if she calls numbers in her own country you will be charged international rates. Your husband or wife will have a local number for your area, in my case its area code 208. After your wife/husband gets to the states you could keep paying for the connection and phone service so your husband wife can talk to family when ever they want. I think this will help with home sickness. Just about any VOIP (voice over internet protocol) provider, packet 8, vonage sun rocket or many others that are available should work. I know that packet8 and vonage will work for sure.

I don't work for packet 8, I am not a spammer I just thought i would pass this info on so you all can save money.

Admins, sorry if this post is out of place and feel free to move it as needed, I just posted it here as this is the main forum I come to and the cr1 takes so long that this could actually save money for people.

If you need any further details on this feel free to ask me in this thread or send me a im.

I have a question and am to lazy to search it out . I am sending my I-130 out tomorrow, does all my copies need to be notarized? I say copies cause the guide on this forum say they can be copies.

Thanks and good luck to all.

Thanks everyone. I think Trillanes is a honurable man myself. Everything I have read about him and been told makes you respect him even more. I sure hope that things go well for him, he has alot of support I know that.

Thanks everybody and smooth sailing for you all!

Hello again guys/gals. I am assembling my I-130 petition package to send off on Tuesday or Wednesday. My birth certificate is missing but I know I can use my passport as prof. My question is on the checklist it says all pages of my passport, now does this mean even the blank pages or just the pages with information on them?

Also, at any point am I going to need to provide my birth certificate or will my passport be good enough? I would like to know so I can get one ordered from California...

Thanks!

As you read instructions, it's best to interpret them literally. Yes, send a copy of even the blank pages, so they can see all those trips you made to the terrorist training camps.

SHHHH noody is suppost to know about that! You prommised me no body would find out about our plan to hold the moon hostage for 1 million dollars!

Thanks again pushbrk.

Greetings all.

I am introducing myself and my wife. I am from Idaho and she is from the Philippines. We met on a online dating site called plenty of fish. We chatted for several months and I was captivated by her charm and wit. After hours of chatting and some phone called I bought a packet8 phone and sent it to her, now we can talk for free hours a day. We were married April 12, 2008 and I stayed with her till the middle of may. The day I had to come home was the saddest day of our lives. I was previously married and have joint custody of my children. My new wife is expecting our first born in around Feb some time. We are both excited about it. Oh my name is Roy my my wifes name is Charleen.

There is one thing that I am scared about with this immigration process , her uncle is Senator Antonio Fuentes Trillanes IV and a Wikipedia entry for all the non Pinoy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Trillanes_IV I am worried that post 9/11 things will not go smoothly for us. Maybe I am just worrying about nothing... At least the US government hasn't labeled him a terrorist!

I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey and a speedy process. We are going for a CR1 visa btw.

Hello again guys and gals. I was just looking over the differences of a K3 vrs CR1 and I noticed something that I find odd. With the K3 there is a section that deals with criminal past. Its on the I-129f

Domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, dating violence, elder abuse or stalking. (Please refer to page 3 of

the instructions for the full definition of the term "domestic violence.)

Homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture, trafficking, peonage,

holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint, false imprisonment or

an attempt to commit any of these crimes, or

All the reading I have done on the CR1 I do not see any reference to any of this. Is this a oversight of the USCIS to also not check the history of the USC with bringing their husband/wife into a potential violent situation? Maybe I am missing something? I personally don't have nothing to hide..well a few speeding tickets

CR1 visas result in a two-year (conditional) green card upon arrival. There is no adjustment of status but you file to remove conditions during the 90 days preceding the expiration of the card.

Being married two years before entry results in a 10 year unconditional card.

Ohh thank you for setting me strait, I read that part of the guide many times and misunderstood every time. I am sure glad I said something about that on here. I might of ended up making some mistakes and gone the K3 route, not that there is anything wrong with that, its just my wife and I want to go the cr1 route. Thanks Pushbrk and thanks to all who posted.

Whoa, thanks guys. I knew about opening another account in my name and sending her the ATM card. I just spent 2 months in the Philippines with her and used my ATM card several times a week and my bank or the banks there never charged me any fee's. I was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone ie: part of the imigration...comingeling of finances and to save a buck or two on wire transfers.

I guess the easiest way will be to open a second account in my name and send her the ATM card.

On a side note, in two weeks time my wife and I will be starting this visa journey....we filled the paperwork out for a cr1 just before I came back to the states and I started to assemble the information only to discover I forgot to have her sign the G-325a so....

We are still unsure which is the best way to go CR1 or K3...I found out last week she is pregnant . THe descission we are trying to make all has to do with the 2 year thing with the cr1. We havnt been married but 2 months so the CR1's benifit of a greencard doesnt apply to us so we will have the added cost of the change of status after the fact so the CR1 really isnt much use to us. Maybe I am wronge. For me I just want my love here beside me to kiss her lips again, touch her face and smell that wonderful garlic breath I came to love

Thanks guys and gals

Hello guys and gals. I am trying to figure out how some people are able to open bank accounts here in the US when their wifes/husbands are in other countries? It would be nice to save all the hassle if she was to have access to my banks here via atms. Does anybody have any insight into this? The banks I have talked to are bound by that US law that bars none residents from opening accounts, yet I have read of many people opening joint accounts...any clues?

Thanks!
