thanks

Hi, What is the current edition of the form I-130? The one I found off of USCIS website is (03/23/15) and expires on 12/31/2015. Is there another one that Im missing somewhere?

Hey guys,

My friend is getting ready to get married in Vietnam. He has all the documents from the US ready (affidavit of single status, vital records, bio sheets), however he didn't send it to the Vietnam consulate in DC to get it legalized. Where can he get it done in Ho Chi Minh City?

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I posted in this forum. I have a question for everyone. Will Provinces such as Phan Thiet accept the affidavit of single status from the US consulate in Vietnam during the marriage registration process? I was told that it only accepts the affidavit stamped in the US and the one at the consulate would be no good. Can someone please confirm this? thank you very much.

Kevin

its at NVC stage, but you should use certified copies. No need for original

Thanks for the replies everyone. Love this forum!

Thanks a lot everyone. What I meant is that they can't get married at the time for personal reason. They will definitely get married once the fiancé is in the US

Hi,

I was wondering if I can still file for a K-1 visa if my fiancé and I have a child together. Because of personal reasons, we can not go the CR-1 route. Im guessing I wouldn't need to include the child in the petition since I can just do CBR for the child. Please let me know.

Thanks

btw, this is for a friend.

Hey Jim,

I still occasionally lurk the forum. My wife received her citizenship in Jan 13. The journey is pretty much over for us. I come on sometime to see what the HCM consulate is up to. Is the Big Grill still around? I thought Ralph closed it

thanks everyone!

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question. What do you do when your wife deliver a baby after you submit the I-130 for a CR-1 visa? assuming the case is still in progress and has not been approved.

Obtaining a marriage license also varies by province. When I got married in Ho Chi Minh City, we had to get a mental checkup. The whole marriage process takes about 3 weeks (from the time we submit the paperwork to the actual day we sign the marriage certificate). However, when my friend got married in Binh Thuan, he got the marriage certificate the same day. There were no mental checkup involved either. He just went to the cong an phuong and submit the paperwork in the morning. Came back later that afternoon and received the marriage certificate.

Hi guys,

My wife will have her interview on Dec 4th, will the answers to the questions change or will they remain the same? The questions regarding politics such as "Who is the current US president?" "Who is the current vice president?" "Who is the secretary of the state?". Assuming that the current one loses. Thanks

hi, can someone please update my info? Thanks

Hi everyone,

Im in the process of filling out the N-400 for my wife. In part 10, question 4 (Since becoming a lawful permanant resident, have you ever failed to file a required Federal, State, or local tax return?) , what should I put down?

My wife does not work and Im still a college student. We never filed a tax return together. However, my mom do claim both of us as dependents on her tax return.

Hey everyone, GC came in the mail today. It was sent out on the 14th according to the website. The next step is N-400. Good luck to everyone else still waiting, it will just be a matter of time before we all get approved. Thanks everyone!

hey guys, just checked the case status and this is what I saw:

"On June 12, 2012, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."

Does that mean that it is finally approve? I sent in the RFE about a month ago

Phoned USCIS and was told that it can take 60 days for them to respond to the RFE. My 1 year extension expires on 23rd Sep but I am going on vacation overseas with wife, daughter and in -laws 1 to 8 sep. I suppose that when I am coming back in, they can't say anything as I am still in date.

Risk it or go to e-pass?

What gets me is that we are made to feel guilty until we prove our innocence. They probably don't mean to, it's just how the process makes us all feel.

P.s. our 3rd wedding anniversary today and we are so happy. Life couldn't be better. Looking forward to applying for Citizenship.

Hang in there everyone else waiting, patience will be rewarded.

Yea, same here. I don't understand how proof of a wedding in the US with all our relatives do not show evidence of a marriage of good faith?

Ok guys, RFE was submitted today. Hopefully the green card arrive in the mail soon. Will update status

Responded to RFE - March 27

Approved - April 12

Received approval letter by mail - April 18

Do you mind sharing your RFE?

they are asking things like birth certificate of children, lease with both our names, tax returns, joint bank accounts, joint credit card bills, insurance with the spouse as the beneficiary, affidavit of sworn statement from people that knows about our relationship.

Heres my situation. Im only 25 years old and still a student. I do not work and still live with my parents. My mom claim my spouse and I on her 2010 tax return. In the original package, I sent a copy of my mom's tax return with both our names in it as dependents. I also sent them our wedding photos in the US and a copy of the banquet bill. I also sent them pictures of our time together in the US. The RFE states that with the evidence I submitted, it does not show that we enter into a marriage of good faith. Here is what I am planning to submit in the RFE: Bank statement with both our names in it, credit cards with both our names in it. Bills of my spouse and I to show that we live at the same address, my mom's 2011 tax return showing both of us as her dependents, health insurance with both our names on it, a notarized letter from my mom stating that we live together at her house and does not pay rent, a notarized letter from a close friend stating he knows about our relationship since day one with photos to support, and lastly a report from the hospital stating my wife had an ectopic pregnancy in 2011. Do you guys think this is enough evidence? anymore suggestions?

P.S my wife does not have a driver license so there are no auto insurance policy with both our names,

Hi guys,

got a letter in the mail today from VSC. Its an RFE for marriage of good faith. Its dated 4/11/12. Its really frustrating because we submit our 2010 tax return and photos of our wedding in the US. Can ideas on evidence of a bonafide marriage?
