    Holy #######. I just got approved today!!! :dance: I checked my email first but nothing from CRIS but went to their website and saw that I was approved. What sux is that I've already booked a trip to go see her. April is when I'll be leaving but now this. I should be happy and I am but now I don't know what to do. I had a feeling that I might be approved before my trip but couldn't be certain that I would. I'm thinking maybe I should just take this trip and when she's approved for her visa, take another trip to go get her.

    So not too dead today. Woohoo. :dance:

    awsome!!good to hear more approvals are comeing out this week

    phillipines for me but if i was to chose anywhere else it would be paraguay.. beautifull place and for 300.00 dollars a month you can live a modest life...

    I did a report on Paraguay about a year ago. Asuncion, the capital, is the least expensive city in the world (for the 6th year in a row). 20% of Paraguayans live in Asuncion (1 out of every 5).

    good info ,,,i saw it on the travel channel ,,the place looks and sounds incredible,,

    I-134 Question

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    The 134 instructions are very clear as to what can be submitted. Reading them is a great place to start along with the guides here on VJ.

    You may send copies of tax returns with the corresponding W-2, 1099, etc. or you may send tax transcripts that would be obtained from the IRS. See the form instructions for a complete listing of what may be submitted.

    Grandma: Octuplets mom obsessed with having kids

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    LOS ANGELES – The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said.

    Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year.

    "It can't go on any longer," she said in a phone interview Friday. "She's got six children and no husband. I was brought up the traditional way. I firmly believe in marriage. But she didn't want to get married."

    Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth Monday in nearby Bellflower. She was expected to remain in the hospital for at least a few more days, and her newborns for at least a month.

    A spokeswoman at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said the babies were doing well and seven were breathing unassisted.

    While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

    She said she warned her daughter that when she gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone."

    Angela Suleman said her daughter always had trouble conceiving and underwent in vitro fertilization treatments because her fallopian tubes are "plugged up."

    There were frozen embryos left over after her previous pregnancies and her daughter didn't want them destroyed, so she decided to have more children.

    Her mother and doctors have said the woman was told she had the option to abort some of the embryos and, later, the fetuses. She refused.

    Her mother said she does not believe her daughter will have any more children.

    "She doesn't have any more (frozen embryos), so it's over now," she said. "It has to be."

    Nadya Suleman wanted to have children since she was a teenager, "but luckily she couldn't," her mother said.

    "Instead of becoming a kindergarten teacher or something, she started having them, but not the normal way," he mother said.

    Her daughter's obsession with children caused Angela Suleman considerable stress, so she sought help from a psychologist, who told her to order her daughter out of the house.

    "Maybe she wouldn't have had so many kids then, but she is a grown woman," Angela Suleman said. "I feel responsible and I didn't want to throw her out."

    Yolanda Garcia, 49, of Whittier, said she helped care for Nadya Suleman's autistic son three years ago.

    "From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all," Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

    "She told me that all of her kids were through in vitro, and I said 'Gosh, how can you afford that and go to school at the same time?"' she added. "And she said it's because she got paid for it."

    Garcia said she did not ask for details.

    Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and as late as last spring she was studying for a master's degree in counseling, college spokeswoman Paula Selleck told the Press-Telegram.

    Her fertility doctor has not been identified. Her mother told the Los Angeles Times all the children came from the same sperm donor but she declined to identify him.

    Birth certificates reviewed by The Associated Press identify a David Solomon as the father for the four oldest children. Certificates for the other children were not immediately available.

    The news that the octuplets' mother already had six children sparked an ethical debate. Some medical experts were disturbed to hear that she was offered fertility treatment, and troubled by the possibility that she was implanted with so many embryos.

    Others worried that she would be overwhelmed trying to raise so many children and would end up relying on public support.

    The eight babies — six boys and two girls — were delivered by Cesarean section weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Forty-six physicians and staff assisted in the deliveries.

    How many is Too Many?

    You could have as many kids as you want, if you could take care of them.

    The kids are not pets.Shouldnt be selfish. Shoul think abt their future.

    Also , its not a Supper lotto Jackpot, hoping one of them grow up to be

    Super Rich.

    Some just wanna keep having kids coz of welfare check they get and tax write off.

    Couple should have plan for kid/s they are going to have.

    We shouldnt ask for Gov for hand out, we should be able to take care our ownselves.
