    I'm not a smoker. I'm also not willing to pay a premium for food that tastes the same as non-organic food. Organic food is a scam, in my opinion.

    rsn got a reaction from Kukolka in K-1 to 'travel' visa?   
    Hello TT2. Your're wife is definitely not alone. The adjustment from Thailand to the midwest is a difficult one for some, initially. Winter is not generally a good time for a Thai to start their experience in the midwest, but what's done is done. I've heard this story many times before, and I can assure you that your fiancee will adjust if she gives it a little time. Some things that will make it easier for her:

    Ability to call her family back in Thailand. There are many cheap ways to do this. Skype via a computer, Skype via a regular phone, magic jack (mailed to her family). There are a number of other good voice over IP services that will do the job. Food, as you may know, is really important to Thais. If you haven't already, take her to an Asian supermarket and get her some papaya, jackfruit, sticky rice, or, even the dreaded durian. A heated mattress pad is really nice in the winter. My wife couldn't live without one. You can get a nice one for a king bed w/ dual heat controls for well under $100. Have your fiancee check out usvisa4thai.com. It's a website for Thai people that have immigrated to the U.S. Lots of networking and friendships to be found there for her. She will never make it here if she doesn't start networking. Trust me. If your fiancee is buddhist, find the nearest wat. I might be forgetting some things, but that's a start. Her life here will likely get better with time.

    You don't have to demonstrate anything. It is up to USCIS to prove you had intent to immigrate, and even that is not enough to prevent adjusting status. As long as material misrepresentation is not involved, go ahead and marry and then adjust status from within the U.S. This would be the fastest route, obviously. If your intent, before she arrived, was to marry and then adjust status, you should go the CR-1 route.

    Original intent to immigrate when adjusting from a B2 is not presumed. when you apply for AOS. you are mixing up AOS with applying for a tourist visa. The rest of your statement is a carbon copy of mine.

    My claim was that USCIS will never deny an AOS application based on immigrant intent. They will only due so if material misrepresentation is present. This has nothing to do with cost effectiveness. It has everything to do with a clear understanding of the law. I can provide sections of the adjudicator's field manual to back up what I say. If you disagree with what I have already stated, then please specify exactly what is incorrect and back it up with proof.

    Pizza isn't the healthiest item you can eat no matter where it's made, unless you order one of those shitty vegetarian pizzas with no cheese. ick. Animals must die for a pizza to be tasty, period.

    Oh good, a vague "contract" filled with nonsensical buzzwords. That's exactly what we need to control politicians. "Protect the constitution", why doesn't it just say "do good things, not bad things"? What a joke.

    Hmm, in that case, I would probably not file to adjust status from the U.S. after all. However, filing for the K1 before she leaves the U.S. should definitely not be a problem.

    I'm not sure what you are babbling on about: technology failures & Americans vs foreigners. My point is simple: the photos of the control center were doctored. Let's try to focus on the topic at hand.

    BP photo-shopped a control center image in an attempt to deceive the public. They apparently thought they were smarter than everyone else and this wouldn't be discovered. Guess they were wrong. End of story.

    No politically driven outrage here. You might be reading too much into my response. I'm not that deep.

    I think what we may have forgotten is that VJ is a business. The VJ owners make money from advertising sold on this site. Less visitors = less money. Banning people from OT = less visitors. I'm not sure some change is always good change. Why not let people who want to post in OT do so. Go ahead and ban or suspend those that get out of line consistently, but other than that, I'm not sure why people are investing so much time and energy into "fixing" this "problem".

    It does seem reasonable to require a re-examination of the exam (preferably by a 3rd party who doesn't have a horse in this race) to determine why the numbers were skewed in favor of whites. After more information is available, then a reasonable decision can be made.

    I was prepared to be angered about this when I read the headline, but if you look at the article posted by Paul, you will see that this is a reasonable outcome for this case. Here are some highlights from the article:
    Regarding the last quote, especially, I would agree that she has a legitimate claim. Should she be deported back to Kenya, there's always the chance that she may be kidnapped and held for ransom. Think about it.

    No, but this thread isn't about illegal immigration. Perhaps you'd like to bring up abortion, drinking laws, or the proliferation of reality shows while we're off-topic.
