look at your profile on the USCIS website and wait for the snail mail. for your NOA2

By "reservation" do you mean a plane ticket? Nigerian scammers always ask for tickets.

I was married by someone who used me for his Green Card. In another relationship, although I love this man I dont want this to happen to me again so I dot my i, and cross my t's and yes im guilty about allowing the past to hunt me. I do want to know if this is ok to do or if this is another scam to use me again. My frien asked me to set him reservation in a country that would freely allow him to come to USA. He stated that once he received reservation (invitation to come?) he would take it to the Embassy or Immugration Im not sure on it. They would allow him to go over then once there he can come to USA. Im not sure of the timeline on any of this.

Im wondering if this is a scam once he gets over, get what he needs and thats it. Please if u have info pleas share with me i dont want a repeat of my first husband.

Thank You Much!

I mean a hotel reservation, he said once he gets confermation from hotel that he has a room reserved he can take that to get approvial to leave (i guess) he is paying for it all.

I explained to him I didnt like that he said we can just go through the correct way.

One day we were talking he wants me to goto Africa to meet his family and wants us to marry there. I questioned that he stated he wanted his mom and family to be apart of it. Am I being too protective. Is this ok or is there something else going on with this?

Again thanks for everones in put.

This is exactly the approach taken by a Nigerian guy to a friend of mine within the last year. They were "married" in Nigeria in front of friends and family, but it was never recorded anywhere. Family paid for his trip to the U.S. He came here as her fiance, they married, and for the better part of a year, he's been absent from marriage and preparing to move to the opposite coast once his green card arrives. It's a scam, for sure.

No im American it I know it sounded gerbrish because I really didnt understand the process myself.

I have not questioned him to the point were it would seem like I was researching myself I just have general conversation. He claims a friend did the same thing so he needed to talk with him to get it explained to him clearly. He made mention he was willing to wait for us to process it, and I can come over to visit. I asked about marring in Africa he said we will have 2 weddings 1 traditional in Africa for his family especially his mom, then 1 here for my family to witness. Although his name wa not on scam list doesnt mean hes not one. I do love this man but I also want to guard my heart and much embarrasment also.

I will be patient and give it more time even if it takes a year or two.

He had been looking for a soccer team in the US to try out for hopping he could get sponsership that way. I meet people here all the time that comes over for college, he said he wouldnt qualify because of his age he should have did it right after highschool?

so the soccer team thing didn't work for a visa, so now he's giving it a shot with you. and if that fails he will try something else. be careful....very careful !!!!

what other post ?

does thhat mean without the kids too?

I appreciate everyone's sentiment.

is there anyone in this forum who could share their experience of removing their lawyer from the visa process? What did you need to do to get it done? Did it delay your visa process at all? That's the center of this discussion.

I feel the same way about removing the lawyer from our case. what I'm doing is just letting things run their course. I gave him half up front ($1000.00) and he won't get another dime from me. from before we got our NOA2 for our petitions I was fixing his mistakes. Its funny now cause every time he calls to tell me something that I have to do, I tell him hes about 2-4 weeks too late. I have done the paperwork since August and will continue to do it myself. yes they mailed the original to the lawyer (NOA2), but I got a courtesy copy and that is all I needed. After my wifes interview and she arrives here in the US, I will ask for the original paperwork and say good bye formally to his service. (or lack of service). thanks to VJ, I now feel comfortable with the rest of the proceedings being handled by wife and myself.

jump out of the car a stand in front of the kid so he couldn't cross the street.

i called NVC this morning because i kept thinking what else my wife needs. i keep reading about affadavit of support so i had to contact them to find out what is going on. What i was told by the NVC is that they sent my AOS to the u.s. embassy in manila since it was approved so not to worry. i felt relieved hearing this but i know my wife should take a copy of my tax return which she has. anyhow, thought i might share that with you all.

thanks!

something isn't right with your story. this is why we ask for people to Post a Timeline. the NVC didn't send your AOS to manila. it sent your NOA2 approval notice for I-129F petition to Manila. ( if indeed your wife is filing for a K3 visa ).. your wife still needs the complete affidavit of support with evidence in duplicate as required. so click on guides at the top of the page and study the I-134 affidavit of support.

regarding affadavit of support. i had already turned that in to the nvc. i did send my wife a copy of my tax return. what is required?

The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

Additional: I feel want to share my spouse with you. He is USC and not oldman but a grown up man.

I'm not bothered with Xmass or New Year. Anytime its special. My USC spouse didn't pressured me or tell me what to do when to come in USA instead he told me to enjoy my last moment in Philippines. When I decided to fly here in USA, I told him I'm ready to go. He does everything to make me happy and of course I try my best to make him happy too. I didn't grew with my family and relatives but I grew up with my childhood and friends, I misses them than my own blood. I call my friends every two weeks when I arrived here in US but when I check our phone bills I can't believed it. He didn't tell me to quit calling. I decided to slow down. I flew two weeks before his planned (He was with me in USE Manila and brought my 2 bags/luggage with him back here in USA) but he doesn't have choices, I'm coming.

Some Filipina want to go back home which is one of them is my friend but her husband doesn't want her to go and she can't buy ticket but he doesn't give her any access to his money.

Don't you think I'm fortunate woman? IF YOU WANT TO CONFIRM IF I'M LYING OR NOT YOU'RE WELCOME TO CALL MY HUSBAND. HE DOESN'T COME ON THIS WEBSITE. HE IS BUSY MAKING MONEY SO I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

You misunderstood that I'm trying to help Craig how to deal with his frustrations.

your husband is busy making money so you have something to do ? ...do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds.

THAT DOESN'T make any sense ? if you want to go home,, then go. don't let the door hit you in ur azz. and if you think tradition is important, and you live in the USA . then you better get use to a x-mas tree in the house. if they made plans to be together during the holidays, and she changes the plans without first discussing it with him. then he has all the right in the world to be upset. long distance relationships come with a big price. relocating is just the start.

YOu know why some marriage failed? Because of selfishness.(All about me me me me not you) Did you read what others post here?

I don't have family to give sh!t with.. They're in Europe.. so guess what.. shove your words to your azz instead.

alot of people make valid and great points here, but you still don't make any sense, your a ranting fool

Why should I not have trouble with this? Is that what you would choose? So many tell me that they would want to be at their spouses side, I know that I want to spend the holidays with them. You talk big for someone who is not in my shoes.

Then you shouldn't have trouble to let your fiancee to stay with her family this Xmass 2009. She'll stay with you forever.(Hopefully she will)

I've never been with someone else shoes but I understand you and your fiancee. You'll have her not just Xmass but at all times not when you're working.

I don't know why so many people want to be with their spouse but once they're in USA? they want to go home.

THAT DOESN'T make any sense ? if you want to go home,, then go. don't let the door hit you in ur azz. and if you think tradition is important, and you live in the USA . then you better get use to a x-mas tree in the house. if they made plans to be together during the holidays, and she changes the plans without first discussing it with him. then he has all the right in the world to be upset. long distance relationships come with a big price. relocating is just the start.

POST YOUR TIMELINE !!! THIS IS NOT A PIT STOP...

my wifes visa should be here before christmas, so as I read this I asked her if she would like to spend one last christmas there with her family. (which she is also very close with ). her reply was spending x-mas here with our sons and our new family was her choice and priority. it really sucks when you make plans and someone changes them mid-stream. but that shouldn't be a reason to back out of the relationship. but if you are not 100% sure and still want to try to make it work. then this might be a good time to look into a prenuptual contract. have some patiance and try to understand she is probrably scared to leave. and her family is her comfort zone. now is the time to find your comfort zone. it does seem like you expect something for what you have given to the family. my question is, when and if she moves with you, do you still intend to do so much for the family on a regular basis ? or are you just trying to buy their support ?

You need to understand, if the two of you planed for her to be there on x-mas with your child and she goes there sometime mid to late january, then that would be normal. thats just filipina time !!!!!

Dear members ...

I want to ask about something i couldn't understand , My US wife Received I-797 c notice of action at 23 july 2008 regarding to our case I130 which we applied to get an action in 1 April 2008 , when i go to the official website of USCIS they say within 6 month's everything should be done and since last Sep my attorney always telling me its nearly done ... this week , Next week ...and nothing appeared yet !!!

Last time i called my attroney was before one week and he told me within 2 weeks i must hear anything from them !! .

Now i want to ask we are in nov 2008 and we applied to take an action of approved case I824 in 1 April and we received Noa I-797c at 23 july and till now nothing appeared !!! is that normal ??

2- how long shall i wait to received the Noa2 ??

3- im out of the timeline ?? i mean i waited more than 6 month's ??

if yes what shall i do now ???

Thank you !!!

I got my NOA1 on April 1st as well and have only one touch since then and am not approved yet. you are not outside timelines yet for I130. According to USCIS they are working on Feb 08 now. According to VJ which I think is more accurate they are working on March. Hang in there hopefully it won't be much longer fpr both of us.

actually he got his NOA1 on july 23 08. and april is when he filed ..it is supposed to be 6 months from the date on your NOA1. So that would be Jan 23 for your case, and even then you have to wait 30 days after from the time you reach 6 months.that puts you at feb 22 2009. now to answer your questions

1. yes it's normal to hear nothing.

2. is there an option other then wait ? patience & waitng is the biggest skill you will need on your visa journey

3. as descibed above. you are not out of your timeline

as things are right now, you have approximately 74 days before you can do much about it.

stands to reason, you will need to meet the p.g. for the address you use when you file. if that will be in the lower 48, then use those P.G. it won't matter what state you work in. what matters is the state you live in.

The fee is waived for FILING THE I-129 after the I-130. so no harm in filing it. you can always choose the path you want to take later. ...also, are there kids involved and if so, did you file an I-130 for them too. that also makes a big difference.

TO MJLASVEGAS SHE IS VERY HAPPY WHEN HER MOM DIE!!!!!! OR HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!!!!! RUD!!!! PILIPINA WOMAN GURLS YOU ARE NOT IN THIS WORLD IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOTHER!!!!!! I AM BORN WITH FULL OF LOVE AND ATTENTION OF MY FAMILY

DO SENT CARE HER MOTHER OR HER FAMILY HUH?

hmm, i'm not quite sure what this mean..

Me neither...(shrugged)

hey rickmj, post a timeline, or are you just a troll !!

Tighter gun controls would have prevented this!

So would forced abortions.

This story makes me wonder what happened in this boy's life that led to him killing 2 people.

Probably pissed off about BHO becoming president.

you don't like kids much, do ya ?...unless the topic is about child pornography like your earlier one.... you are about demented as it gets !!!

Drama Queen much?

His earlier topic had NOTHING to do with child pornography. NOTHING.

YOU seem to be the one obsessed with child pornography.....

No DV anymore...just always checked the website online....all information are in there....always read the guidelines ...that's the best thing you can do so you wont miss out anything...

no DV fee

Tighter gun controls would have prevented this!

So would forced abortions.

well thats good news for you, but it sucks for the K3 filers that filed 3-4 months before you. so why exactly are you posting it in a K3 forum ? why don't you roll ur eyes on the correct forum ? and YEA, I have my approvals already, so it don't effect me. its just the majority of the k3 filers are paying the high price of VSC bulls--t. so go to the correct forum and post please !!!

take him to Hooters.
