APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 08/04/09

Congrates great feeling !!!

As lucky as we are I am to have found the love of my life and All was needed was a K1 Visa ha well We got approved .But my question is just as the time is

almost over Another wrench is set into the mix I will have to be doing a quick move within the next month not out of state that I am in but I really do not want this to affect us

Paper work being all in order and all.People move right easy fix I sure hope so cause it is worrying me but I have no choice,And it is clear to me now it's better done now then before he finally returns home for good.

Not sure why this is posted in the PI forum but...

People do move - fact of life. You can simple get married and file AOS as soon as possible and use your new address on the AOS (and supporting) forms.

Thanks !!!!Wasn't sure how to post more my guys thing so I clicked first button sorry

Huge relief

this is a bit of a gripe, but does anyone else just get tired of explaining how stressful this is to people???? I know that I have just stop explaining why I'm tired or why I just dont want to socialise that much. :angry: :angry: I mean, i'm immigrating, moving and getting married. there are times when you just want to break down in floods of tears or other times when you just zone out and go quiet, stare into space. I have weeks and months of restless sleep because my mind wont stop working even though my body is tired. I stood in Safeway/Somerfields on Thursday night completley confused and wanting to cry because I couldnt find the Turkey Kabanos!!lol seriously.

I often try to break down how it feels to folk to be leaving here to go there, but they dont get it. Either they think I will miss England ( which in all honesty I wont) or they think its a financial issue, or wonder if i'm making the right decision considering that I havent spent 10 years dating the guy before marrying him. :blink: :blink: It all just makes me wanna go ....AAAAAAAAAArgh. I understand how this process is hard to understand if you have never done it, but seriously if they knew how difficult this was do they think we would do this on a whim.

I'm a strong person, I can handle all of this, its just a little frustrating.

Can anyone share what they have experienced when telling friends about the process, or have you just given up???? Anyone got a solution to it?

Please take time to share it could help someone.

thanks

Makes you wonder if they ask just to ask or really listening at all .I get the same questions from same damn people over and over.I say 10 years is plenty I find it easiest to keep it simple answers ,simple for stupid I call it and grin to myself for the struggles and happiness all this has and the strength it's taught me as well.My guy (Tomaran) wrote something down for me long ago 9 months "No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen... The love of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each others worth. He was right then and he is now Year 3 and he is on is way home. So hang in there love and know this is your life you will be living No One can can determine what will make you happy and it is obvious it's him.All the luck in the world to you and your love .

If you purchased a non-refundable ticket and did not change the dates prior to the day of the flight, unfortunately you'll have to purchase another ticket and get her in the US before her visa expires, after which you'd have to start over with the process, waiting time and fees included.

Plus you'd have to explain why she didn't use her K1 the first time around, if she had 6 months to do so (depending on the adjudicator or officer at the consulate level he might frown at this which could show uncertainty of the relationship) so having good evidence and good explanation of why she didn't make it is a good choice.

My advice is if there's no issues with your relationship and it was only a family issue on her side find a way to buy a new ticket and get her in US before the expiration of her visa. A lot of agencies or even TAM airlines sell tickets in monthly payments on the credit card, with zero interest, look into it.

her fault ??? book it few days in advance not the exact date come on think!!!! Even if she was at bar flights are canceled etc etc etc and the time in damn security now it feels like days.Don't blame anyone for not having forethought of what might happen expect it most things are a test WHAT TO DO NOW??? MMM GET ON THE HORN TO PEOPLE THAT COUNT NOT ON HERE.EXPLAIN THE ERROR IN JUDGMENT UNWILLINGNESS TO LEAVE EACH OTHERS SIDE TILL LAST MINUTE AND GO FROM THERE.Or don't up to you but blame has no place in a loving relationship.

uhhmmm....

been here in the US last year i married my husband within the 90 day period, my I94 has expired, and haven't filed my AOS yet coz we r still saving up for the application fee. and one more reason is: my mother in law is trying to delay my AOS application. the truth is even before i got here, she has been saying i am just going to use her son to be in the US, get a job and then later on leave him. all the while i thought everything was already fine between me and her that is why they continued with the process and why i am here now. now the issue is up again because a member of my family is going to help me on the money we need for the AOS. now she is saying why am i in a hurry to file my AOS, she is accusing me of plans of leaving his son after i got a job and get LPR status. she says her son is going to be used and even her. i do not know why she thinks that way, where have she got all this kind of ideas. i wanted to do the AOS to get my EAD, work and in that way i could help my husband in working. whats wrong in trying to do things for good intentions and not what she thinks i might do. since i got here, i have stayed at home. i am doing what i can do while at home. i follow what she advices me to do. i respect her because she is my husbands mother. we live on one house btw. i can bear with her constantly talking about how we should do this or that and interfering on things like what we should do or eat for the day, but not this, making up things on her mind that is not entirely true. she's one kind of a paranoid mother in law. she even told my husband that he has to wait six months before he adjusts my status.

HER always meddling with us is already annoying me.

there are other issues regarding the mother in law but the important thing is, me and my husband understands and love each other. there are misunderstandings and arguments along the way but we always make sure that we talk about it.

it just hurts she's accusing me all that.

Bad MIL. Even a couple that both are USC still get in trouble with their MIL. Did you talk to your husband about this? You need document to start a life. You're not her/his prisoner. If I were you, I tell her to ** off.

Note: My MIL is a good mom.

She is afraid of losing her relationship with her son wither it's a controlling one is not clear, but woman to woman mono to mono you need to sit her down and let her know she will not lose her son she has gained a daughter and all the love you have for him. You and he need her support beings you both only want to do this marriage thing once better or worse.And she is and will be a part of your life make room for her like she has made room in her house for you Then get the hell out of there quick BUT KEEP TO YOUR WORD WITHIN REASON.I'm guessing she has no mate as well??Lonely is a awful stage when time is at it's end we are frightened so keep that in mind her life lead and how your beginning yours .Ice breaker let her name first grandchild hard but idea that won't hurt as much as losing him so finding ways to connect another if shes a cook or anything else special he loves she does ask her to teach you because you love him even if you know how to do it better Good luck darling!!!

PS AOS as time limit she has done her research> MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO!!!

ok hi all sorry if not posted in the right spot, still learning as i go. my question is if my tax papers for the last three years dont include my kids, do they still consider me as supporting them and consider them as part of my financial responsibilty. i dont know if i worded it right. anyway my ex husband has been claiming my kids on his taxes all their lives so i guess im wondering how this will effect my income reporting. he hasnt paid any child support in over 6 months but he still claimed them again.

Fight that nobody that isn't giving child support should be claiming your kids yes yours,earned income credit is quite a bit of money for what nothing??I put in my divorce decree he wouldn't be able to claim them being I'm the primary care giver,time money ,love etc.. etc ...etc in all aspects makes sense to me.And being he isn't paying there are ways you can get this money back or at least let government know the situation.Take action and take care ;D

Well, I feel like I am in the same boat...not that my attorney is giving me major problems, but I would not have hired her had I found this website earlier. She charged $500, and they "guarantee approval" I don't know if the guarantee applies to just the NOA2 or the K-1 visa. And they refund all the money if you are not approved. I found her on this website: http://k1k3visas.com/. I plan on continuing with her for AOS, but just because it will be of no extra cost to me and she already has the paperwork. She was very helpful in filing all the correct information and necessary paperwork, and she even got the case# from USCIS for me to track, BUT she did not tell me that I was supposed to get the NOA1 (I-797) in my mail, which I did not, and now, almost 100 days later, she tells me that I should have received the NOA1 in the mail a week after they got my case...even though I specifically emailed her and asked her about this about 90 days ago...and whenever I ask her any questions, it seems to me that she just feels burdened by my questions, although they are all legitimate questions, and she has given me some wrong information about I-134's, which thanks to this website, I found the correct information, and her answer to everything is: just wait, we will sort out everything at the right time...BUT on the other hand, she is very prompt in her replies to my emails to her and phone calls, even though I may not be satisfied with the answers, she does answer all of my attempts to contact her, and she did prove to be dependable in terms of filing the correct information and all, no RFE's for us. Oh and yes, I ended up calling USCIS and they put in another order for my NOA1 (I-797), so I should be receiving it in about 1 week...

Bottom line: I would not have hired an attorney if I had found this website earlier..

Hey buddy if i had your attorney i would be happy as larry. at least she responds back in a timely manner. I have been trying to get hold of mine all week and not just calling once or twice a day but at least 10 or more times a day!! and at various intervals too and each time i'm greeted with the same leave a message hoohaa...and for the record leaving messages is a waste of my breath because last time i left a message he called back a week later. in the time which he we retained his services we have spoken to him perhaps 3 or 4 times and in fact the last two conversations was to tell us he received the forms, they are on his desk but he will be away for a week and will look through them when he gets back. So the 2nd conversation is when he returned after the week away to tell us that he trusts the forms are in order and will send them off. To me that indicates that he hasn't even looked at them and is just trusting us that they are correct. So correct me if i'm wrong but isnt that the whole reason we hired you? so that we didnt make any mistakes and so that he can correct us or tell what else is needed if anything?

He certainly does not inspire or fill me with confidence and i may cease to do business with him after the holidays.

Thanks to rocks btw for sending the links to the massachussets state bar complaint forms

I'm sorry to hear you are having HUGE problems with your attorney! Damn!

May cease??? I'd blow him right off.

OK, now your in a bit of a pickle....take a step back and think about how to resolve the matter. There are plenty of people here to help.

Yes thanks Rocks that got a response not at all what I was expecting of a lawyer .But mention that bar and it may have not been 5 minutes but it was frantic.Time line coming LOVE ;D

My opinion would be to go down the K1 route fiance visa, and file as soon as possible, you are looking at around a 7 month time frame if there are no problems and everything goes through smoothly

Good luck

Hey thx, i assumed K1 would be the best way, i did look at the guides and it looked the best option, so she has to file that right? one more problem, she was married but has been seperated for a while now, not devorced yet, what about that, does she have to wait a while before she can file the K1?

Has to have copy of divorce decree and then it can be filed can't have a husband on paper and a finance no matter how long separated

Congratulations!

GIVES ME HOPE!!!! HATE THAT TIME DIFFERENCE MYSELF CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH !!!!!

My attorney hid behind voice mail and never answered emails until the time I put "State Bar Complaint" in the subject line of my email. He called within 5 minutes and I was able to get an answer to my question.

Then I should cling to my phone and Tomaran as well because it has got to that point.All we want to know is when and if he sent off paper work.We can handle the rest from here on out but can't even get an answer.So he has sent off email as of yesterday stating just that answer or we no longer need your service and we would like all our paper work back and will file a complaint.

I work my a** off for basically chump change, amazes me how little lawyers do for so much cash.Wish we had found this sight sooner

Thank you my Tomaran for digging for answers for us like I said no question is a stupid question .I shouldn't be made to feel like I'm burdening our attorney or to have to go off his time line of when he feels like getting things done.As for all these people on here we are ready NOW ready more then year ago to get the matter at hand resolved and not having a time line of how much longer we will have to wait to be together is the biggest frustration.And if everything is in order and has been sent off least he could do is drop a line and let us know that .

The time this takes is not set in stone but having the lawyer update the info he does have and tell us he has sent is off is all we basically have asked for.So looking from my finances point of view when he looks at the sight and have it say that our lawyer has none of the forms B&LL cR*P HE DOES HE IS MESSING ABOUT WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP Because who wouldn't ask .

Thank you everyone for your time in answering some questions we have,If the ball doesn't start rolling now sure to say this forum will be very helpful to us taking the matter in our own hands.

PS~ His link is now been suspending not so comforting

LOVE YOU TOMARAN XOXOXO
