Why America, why? Your bread tastes like cake and lasts a ridiculously long time in my cupboard without going green. Lots of my food time is spent dreaming of white bread cheese sandwiches or white bread bacon butties with butter and HP sauce. Warburtons blue packet usually. I spend wasteful dollars on all these different kinds hoping one will taste normal. I don't fall for your 12/8/6 grain, wholewheat, bran nonsense anymore because I know they all taste of sugar and ruin my toast and sandwich experience. The list of ingredients are enough to send the health board into a spin.

It's not normal and it hurts.

Go to the bakery

Yea I was just watching CNN when those ####**les were throwing food donated on the ground because they confused the manufacture date with the expiration. Let them wait another week and they will eat dirt or pick up the good food they threw on the ground. Are these the kind of assho*es we want in this country. Hell NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

wow seriously, what dumbasses

Hello everyone, I have some questions about the CR-1. My husband and I meet on the Internet We fell in love and got married June of 2009. We only got married by papers. We did not have a "Wedding". And i have never been to his country to meet him. We talk on Email. phone, on webcam everyday. and we know we love each other. But i dont know if i can file for a CR-1 becuase we have not had a wedding with a wedding dress and such. When he comes here we will have a small party with my family. But a wedding party is not important to us. I know when my case reaches the embessy in his country they will want pictures of are wedding. But we only got married on papers. I dont want to start it just to get denyed cuz we dont have pictures.

Thanks everyone.

should always have pictures....

We filed K3 visa got all approvals interview set. Go to interview December 1,2009 and i was also questioned same day. Denied. Second interview December 10,2009 also denied. Consulate emailed me after i ask about Jawads papers said they were sent back December 17. Papers are not in USCIS. I have had the senator assistant check with NVC and USCIS the papers are not there. They are telling us just to wait. Plz can any one help us to make this fast and what suggestions do you have for us. We truely believe we were denied because of age difference. Have fired the lawyer because she would not do any thing at all but wanted more money. Plz we are lost and need your help. We just want to be together.

(Plz read our story of what happen below for all details.)

We used K3 visa suggested by the lawyer I hired. So not knowing anything of this I started the process. All seemed to be going well. We filed the I-130 and had approvel fast. As soon as we had notice they recieved we sent the I-129 and had approval fast. Then was a small problem in confusion on sponser but i made enough to be his sponser. Attorney gave me much problem of this but we finally work past this. We send the papers and while we was wait Jawad gets a letter from the consulate of his appointment for his interview. The attorney was shocked because she kept telling me that it wasnt even approved yet through the visa center. We find that for Morocco we dont have to do that. The interview is set and i didnt have to pay the $477.00 to file. Why if an immigration lawyer for 18 years was she shocked by this. This made me start to be afraid of my own lawyer. At this time we have already waited 7 months for the process.

Finally the day comes for interview and I have flown to Morocco to be with Jawad. December 1, 2009. Now the wait for process is 9 months. Jawad arrives early for his interview and I wait in the cafe. He was made to wait until last and then the officer finally calls him up. Jawad said the officer seemed to be nice. He asked him many questions of course of our relationship and of my life here and children my x. He asked of my work asked for many dates of birthdays of children and when I started work. Jawad had all proofs that the consulate asked for and of course all the papers the lawyer prepared. They officer made Jawad sit down then in the middle of his interview and kept watching him. I geuss trying to make him afraid. But we know one another so much this didnt bother him at all. So the officer called him up again and continued to question him. After 45 min of questions he had Jawad come and get me from the cafe. I was so happy thinking we were getting his visa. Now this officer when he saw us come in together his face changed he was mad. He could not prove his point cause he wanted me to be some old woman and I am not. We walked in smiling and arm in arm. He told Jawad he had to go out so he could ask me questions. He starts by saying,"These young men they bring all these proofs and they marry with an older woman and think we are going to give them a visa. Do you understand what I am saying to you!!" I said," I understand what you are trying to say and this is not the situation!" He then starts to ask me questions of Jawad and what we have in common and of his family and where they live and where they were born and I am answering all questions fine. But when I do he keeps cutting me off. Then in the middle of the interview he clicks off the mic and asks his fellow employee where do they want to go for lunch. How rude I can hear every thing he is saying. And I am an American in the American Embassy questioned by and American officer. What is this????? He clicks the mic back on and asks a few more questions and cutting me off when i try and anwer. Then says well we may give him a visa we may do a second interview we dont know. Just go back if you need to go back. Come to find out that he had made sure to ask Jawad when I would go back and asked me the same thing. So I had and idea of what was to happen next.

I was right we wait and they call Jawad and set his second interview for the day after i was supposed to fly back. So I changed my ticket and stayed. Interview December 10,2009 Again Jawad is there early and again they make him wait until last. And the first question out of this officers mouth was," Well did you wife go back?" Jawad said no she waits me in the cafe. This officer was mad. He said WELL HOW MUCH DID THAT COST HER!!!!!!!!!

How is this any of business!!! So he asks Jawad the same questions again. Also he keeps interupting the questions with lets go to money. Jawad answered all this fine becasue we know all of one another. This officer said 4 times during interview lets go back to money. Then one of these times he said What if you find your wife lied for you about money? Jawad said My wife doesnt lie for me we love one another so much and she tells me all she has. Then the officer said to Jawad Well what do you want me to do for you today. Jawad said Give me a visa so I can go live with my wife. The officer said No I dont think so. He said a lot of large words and Jawad said One minute I want to understand what you are saying. You are saying that I lie and I just marry my wife for papers. The officer said Yes that is what I am saying. He denied his visa again and gave him a paper folded in his passport and sent him out the door.

When Jawad and I get back we see he has given us the wrong paper it has some one else name on it and the wrong visa. We emailed this to the lawyer and had to go back the next day. I went to the Embassy and I said this is the wrong papers and there has been some mistake and I want my husbands visa granted. The Morrocan man said he will speak with his suppervisor. He comes back with a paper this same just changed the name and visa. I said i want an explanation of what part of the law is being used to deny my husbands visa. He says I cant explain that for you. I said then I want to talk to this officer. He leaves and comes back and says he says he already denied the visa and the papers are already go back he cant explain for you. Again how they treat people in the American Embassy in Morocco. And this officer used his opion to deny a visa and is trying to use law 221g for his reason.

I came back to US December 13 and we have contacted the lawyer and Consulate and all we have as an answer is Oh you just have to wait. The papers are not in the NVC or USCIS and i want to do some thing now if I can i dont want to wait more. The lawyer said at last phone call that we have to wait and then file an appeal after we get what the denial says. I dont believe this because as soon as i questioned her of how long and how much money this is going to take she didnt want to answer any more quesitons and then asked for more money even though she is not doing any thing with the case at this time. So I let her go and have another lawyer ready to take over. But i want to know if we can do some thing now and may be his papers are still in the consulate. They have lied and done this to others we know.

PLEASE WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE NEEDING TO BE TOGETHER TO LIVE OUR LIFE NOT WAIT MORE!!!!!!WE WERE MARRIED MARCH 9,2009

Its very hard for Muslims trying to get visa these days.

I met my husband online, like many of us did. He was in New Zealand and I was in the USA. I was leaving 1st husband and the relationship I had with Chris (my now husband and Green Card holder) was intense and romantic and fantastic. We decided to see if we felt the same things when we actually met. He came in January of last year and met me... I was still married but we got along so well and it was so wonderful that he decided to come back and see me again in March. He came on the VWP. Our love continued to develop and I hadn't completed my divorce but we wanted to be together and he proposed. My divorce got finalized during the 90 day VWP and we got married.

I know now that it was a mistake. I wasn't really ready for such another serious relationship as I still was getting over the emotional affects of my separation and divorce of husband 1. Chris and I are both passionate, stubborn, strong-willed and type A personalities. In many areas we were scarily identical. Unfortunately, in the areas we differed, we differed greatly. We'd have major fights. In one particular fight, he poured alcohol all over me. He drank every day because he said alcohol was the only thing he had. He has MS and can't be as active as he wants.

I had also told him before he came that my children were the most important thing to me and our relationship would hinge on the relationship that would develop between him and them. My younger daughter liked him quite a bit. My older daughter hated him. He was very strict and had some extreme rules that they just weren't used to. He would control me and them. My older daughter finally said that she'd end up either hurting him or hurting herself if I stayed with him. She's 12. She should not be having those feelings.

So Thursday night I told him that I wanted to end our relationship. He was angry and upset. In our past arguments he had threatened suicide when I'd leave to go to my friend's house, but he never actually did anything about it. People told me it was emotional blackmail and a control mechanism. Because I'd always come back when he threatened it.

I left around 7pm... He was texting me over and over and over. Around 10pm the texts stopped and I figured he'd drunk himself to unconsciousness and then yes try to reconcile with me yesterday. I went to bed when the texts stopped, got up and went to work. I tried calling him and emailing him with no answer. I have a very busy job so I tried a couple of times through the morning. I had my friend try to call him when I got no response, thinking he was ignoring my calls. She called and then texted me. I never got her text. When I called her to see if she got a hold of him she said she'd texted me.

Then I looked at my phone and realized that my memory was full. So I cleared out all the messages and restarted my phone. That was around 2pm on Friday. I had 10 unread texts from him. The last three texts were: "Thank you for leaving me your antidepressants" and then "Tell Meagan (my younger daughter) goodbye for me" and then "Make sure Brodie (our dog) goes to a good and loving him me". Needless to say I panicked at that point and called the police. THey went to my house and found him unconscious and not very responsive. The ambulance took him to the hospital where his body temp was 93 and he was in the effects of a drug overdose.

I went to the ER. He was incoherent. Mumbling. Tugging at the restraints, trying to pull out IV's and Catheters. It was awful. It was one of the most painful and horrible things I've ever seen. After a while he seemed to become a little more conscious and he was begging me to free his hands and when I said I couldn't his pulse went up to 170.... I eventually just had to leave because when I'd go see him, he'd get agitated.

They admitted him to the ICU and they think he'll survive. We have no idea what the damages might be yet though. They are going to put him in regular medical units when he is stable and off the medications necessary to get his system over the effects of the drugs. Then when he's rational, they are putting him in psych evaluation and then will not release him until he's under psychiatric care.

Even though he's not really been aggressive with me or the children, the doctor warned me that he may become aggressive now or he may try to do it again as soon as he's released.

I don't know what to do. I can't be with someone who would do that. I definitely can't have my children around someone like that. I know I'm financially responsible for him. What if he stays in a psych ward for a long time? What if they release him and he has to continue to be seen often by a psychiatrist?

I have to pay for all of this and what if he can't work? I won't divorce him yet, as he's on my insurance....

I'm just numb. I feel grief and pain and an overwhelming sense of rage that he'd do something like this. I just don't know what to do and I'm hoping for some advice or suggestions.... or anything...

What do I do?

what a mess

STUFF can be replaced, peace and your life cannot. Be glad you are back home now, and he is history. Just go back online and find someone who you can have a real and loving relationship with. Good luck.

Techo Viking. Obey!!!

Hi All,

So I am happy to say that my Fiancee and I were married this past Monday!!!

My question would be if I should start the process for CR1 Visa or see if I can get a job Sponser in the US were we will be residing? My now husband will be going back to California where he is a US Citizen on Friday. He may be able to get a job lined up for me? So we are wondering if it would be quicker to have someone Sponser me for work or if we should just be patient, apply for the CR1 and then I can start work once it's approved? Ideally we just want the quickest way that we will be able to be together? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

One more thing, what is the difference from a CR1 and IR1 Visa?

CR-1 aka I-130 is good. thats what i am doing now. I dont think you can get a job intill you get your green card and a SS#.

Hello, everyone.

Filed joint petition for removal of condition in may 2009. Vermont SC. In September changed the address. After that my case was not touched. Made an inquiry request, got a letter, saying that my case was forwarded to local office for interview. Interview is not scheduled yet.

I do not live with my husband since August because of moral abuse. He is marijuana-smoker and it is inacceptable for me. He threatened to kill me if I leave him and I filed the Police report. They arrested him but I did not proceed charges against him and the case was dismissed. Meanwhile he went to family court and took and order of protection against me. He lied there that I was screaming at him, throwing things at him and many other things (he just checked all the boxes in the order of protection petition). I have proof that he was lying, as the day when he said that happened he was at work, but he forgot about it. Anyway, he recalled the petition in a month, but I do not know whether it is on my record or not. We have a baby together born this year. I have full physical custody. I work full time and obtain my Master degree. I hoped to get green card without the interview, but I was unlucky here and now don't know what to do.

We are not divorced and the papers are not even filed yet. In New York we need a ground for divorce, the easiest of which is to live separately for 1 year. My husband told me that he will not agree to uncontested divorce and it will cost me a lot, because he wants to make my life miserable. I even think he wants to file for divorce on the ground of inhuman treatment. What he is going to say there - I don't know. Lie, as usual. I don't have extra money for lawyers, I better spend them on my baby. He has his whole family here, all his relatives. And he is trying to diminish me now. I am alone with the baby here, and although I am an optimistic person, sometimes I get desperate. I can not afford to stay without work authorization even for 1 day. I hardly found a job recently in this recession time. So, I don't know what to do now with my papers. My status was extended until May 17th of 2010 by NOA. If I go for an interview alone they most likely will reject removal of condition and until I refile I'll be not allowed to work.

So, I was thinking on refiling the papers now, before they scheduled interview, and to request an abuse waiver. I already wrote long letter about my whole 3-year life in here. But the abuse was moral and I know that it is hard to prove it. Also, I don't know whether they'll se my restraining order and whether it will play against me.

Maybe I should go for that interview and explain them all this and ask what should I do? But again, in this case I am afraid to stay out of status even for 1 day.

Please, advice. My husband dreams about me staying out of status. When I ask him to sign the paper, that the baby will go with me back to Russia, if he doesn't want me to stay here, he says no. His mother told me several times that if I leave him, I'll never see my baby again. My baby is everything I have in my life. I can't imagine my life without seeing her. It's intolerable cruelty to separate me from the baby.

What should I do?

I dont know. i dont know the full story and the dynamics of your relationship. always 2 sides of the story

It comes with great saddness today to announce that my fiancee was denied the visa in Nigeria. Im really upset right now but according to my fiancee he said that the consular officer denied him the visa because I didnt meet his parents and he didnt meet mine. I dont know what to do? How can I request a second interview? She said its for immigration purposes. Buts its not true. He answered all the questions correctly. Well let me continue crying. I need all your help right now.

it helps to meet at least one of the family members. And the nigerian that tried to bomb the plane doesnt help much either.....

Does anyone know how long a CR1 visa is valid for once it is issued by the embassy? In other words, how long do you have to use it?

I believe 6 months

Bare with me as I try to summerize this situation. I met this lady through a support group 2yrs ago for women that were in relationships with MENA men. Well to make a long story short, this lady who I will call Ms. L went to Morocco 1yr ago, but she failed to let the man know that she was going to visit that she was in a wheel chair, and that her mobility was limited. After Ms. L was there for 6 days out of the 30 she was suppose to stay they made her leave on the 7th day. Well she comes back to the USA all heart broken and of course the support group that we all belonged to supported her with us knowing the full details. We all assumed that this guy was a pure jerk. After all she sold her washer/dryer machine to afford the ticket to go to Morocco. After she came back she also got evicted from her handicap assessable apartment. Well she and another lady went and rented another apartment together. You would think that she learned her lesson. Well some other lady on our support site decided to let her Moroccon husband connect her to a family member of his. So know Ms. L and her roomate are corrisponding back and fourth with men from Morocco. You would think that Ms. L roomate/caretaker would try to speak some since into her head about making another trip over there?

The two of them decided not move over to Morocco and they both stopped paying their rent and sold all of their posessions that they had and purchased a one way ticket to Morocco. I told Ms L that she was making big mistake and that she should not go because of her physical disability and Doctora's not understanding her medical condition. She has MS. Well not listening to a thing that I said or her family members tried to say she and her roomate leaves the USA and arrives in Morocco on December 6. After being with her so call fiance, for 2 days his family was unable to deal with her and they put her up in a hotel for 3 days. According to Ms. L they abandoned her there and she had to holler out for help. When the hotel manager realized what was going on he called the Moroccan Police and needless to say that the lady she went there with fiance got arrested and not the guy that Ms. L went to go and visit and supposely marry.

On the 5th day they took her from Safi and drove her back to US Embassy in Casablanca, and left her accross the street. Even the lady that she went there with jumped back into the car and left her on the side of the road. She even took Ms. L wallet that contain her passport, state ID, Birth Certificate ect... All the essential Items she would have needed to get married in Morocco. A Moroccan man had to help her get accross the street with her 2 suite cases and help her into the Embassy.

The Embassy purchased her a one way ticket back to the states and put her up in a hotel for one day. After she got back to the states she was homeless and so she calls me crying on the phone. She asked if she could stay at my place for a couple of weeks. After asking my husband permission he said it would be fine. He was feeling guilty that one of his brother man would treat her this way. So we both felt so sorry for her and I told her she could stay with me for 2wks until she gets her ssi check and then move on her own. OMG when i go and get this woman from the airport, to my supprise she is bound to this wheel chair, and she doesn't have the mobility that she claims she has. She smelled like urine and her clothes were soiled. I almost turned away and left. But the GOD in me would not allow me nor my husband to do so.

Ms. L has no ID all she had was the temp passport the the US Embassy gave her that expired on December 24. The lady that she went to Morocco with has everything of hers includding her bank card.

On the first day my husband had to go to the store and purchase depends. This woman had nothing on and she can't control her own blatter.

She lied to everybody on the support group. She lied and said that she walks with a walker but that is a lie heck she can't pull herself up out of a wheelchair. I have to have a family member come over everday several times a day to bath her and take her to the bathroom. The crazy part is that I have to make her take a bath she doesn't even want to do that.

I called the MS Society and hopefully they will be getting back with me tomorrow, but this woman has to get out of my home. I called her family and none of them want her not even her mother or grandmother. They refuse to send her any money for her basic needs. Her mother asked me to put her away in a residential facility. Clearly this woman is not mentally stable enough to make sound decisions and how she was able to make it to Morocco 2x is beyond my own imagination.

I am giving her to the January 2 and she has to go where she goes is not even a concern of mine I did my good deed and I am so done.

Wow. what a special case. Doesnt she have some kind of case worker helps her make these kind of decisons? I would of not got my hands dirty. Sounds like she is a huge boarder-line that is looking for your attention and its working

To all those who may of know us. This one did not work out. My wife Rosana abandoned me last month, have not herd from her or do not know where she is. The thing is I knew it from the beginning she was not in it for love. Even my family and her friends what few of them she let me know would ask me why I thought she came to America. She made here her own friends which I was never invited to go and be a part of her life. All I was invited to do was to take her places for photo’s and proof of an on going marriage. This was a short lived marriage and costly one on my part. I wish you all better luck on yours. But be careful. I stand to loose what little I have left and she does not care one thing about me.

If you knew she was grimmy why did you go about it? thats your bad. there are alot of girls that will do anything just to get into this country even if it go for destroying lives and breaking hearts. Anything goes man.....and they will do anything to get it. Also age plays a big part too. How old were you and how old was she. you have to be very wise when choosing the right girl. I feel really sorry for you. good luck in the future

Hello everyone. I have not been on this website for a long time. After much work and stress, I finally managed to bring my Nigerian fiance here on a k-1 visa. It took me only 5 months to get him here. Now that he is here things have been good and bad.

I can't even type straight because I am so sad tonight.

While we were seperated waiting for him to get his visa: I found him to be emailing other woman online. I caught him doing this three times and because very distaught and angry with him.. Each time he apologized and asked for forgiveness and promised not to do it again. He was using dating websites too!!! Each time I managed to forgive him by allowing him the excuse that the distance is stressful and he could never tell if he was ever going to make it to be with me in US.

On the first night he arrived: I found that he had some emotional text messages on his phone to and from women in Naija, plus he had 15 new woman on his messenger. I was in tears and so upset but managed to forgive him again because of the distance factor.

Now he has been here a few weeks and this morning I noticed that he was using Tagged and so I logged onto his profile (he forgot that i knew his password) and found that he has been emailing local woman on tagged when I am at work or sleeping. ####### He tried to stop me from reading it cause he knew I would be upset.

He has been begging me to forgive him all day. By 5pm he was disappointed that I didnt' cook for him and I still had not forgiven him.

I don't know how to forgive him for this. I can't think of an excuse for him.

He tried to leave me this evening because he was upset that I have not forgiven him yet. Now he is sleeping

How can he f-------ing sleep?????? I am sleepless

I don't know what to do please help!!!

So far I have put a password on my computer so he can't use it------

I don't know what to do

i feel so dead inside

If you are on a k-1 and you didnt get married yet. Just dont marry him and send his sorry a$$ back to africa.....word!

hello All, this is My first post, and this seems to exact place to ask this questions. Okay here is the situation, While I was a student back in US I met this girl and after a relationship of a about 5 months or so we got involved, I came back after finishing my education, But we are still much into each other, Now we will be filing k1 in feb or so, however for evidence of relationbship, We just have Emails, Chats and 2 photos we took at some places, along with phone records and thats it.

I have also rent-a-car agreement but its on my name since she had lost her wallet before we rent the car, so will this be enough evidence ? Also can we take written evidence from third party people, who know us and seen us together ???

You will need more then just 2 photos

Last night I just booked my wife's trip home for the holidays. It's non-refundable and non-changeable, but that didn't concern me when I booked it because everything about how I did it made sense at the time. Now that I've had overnight to think about it, I'm worried I could have made a huge mistake.

My wife is from Russia and holds a Russian passport. You can see from my signature where we're at in the AOS process. I purchased her airline tickets in her married name, which made sense to me since it's now her legal name. Where I'm starting to get worried is that she has very little in the way of identification that shows this as her name. Here's what she has:

Russian passport with her maiden name

South Dakota driver's license in her maiden name (we can't get it changed to her married name until she gets GC or EAD)

Certified copy of our marriage license

Advanced Parole documents in her married name (with her photo of course)

Do you think she'll be okay, or is she going to have problems?

Call the airlines. And have them make a note in the system about the name problem. Shouldnt be a problem

Guys!! I just wanna let you know how happy I am because I just checked the NVC online payment site at 7:20 a.m. Middle East time and it says: Does it mean my case is completed in I'm on my way to my interview?

There has been a question among my family, and everyone thinks they are right... and im wondering if anyone has the answer...

Me, being a american born citizen, moves to another country to gat married. Just temporarily. Im doing this in the even that our k1 did not happen, or if he was in AP for too long. Then I will fly over there and marry and come back here later apon approval of that.

Question; If I do this, move there, get married, took citizenship, will I be able to come back home to my own country, united states? Because I was born here i can never lose citizenship here correct?

And by me just marrying there does not make me lose citizen ship here.

Family members are under the impression if I move over there to wait this out with him, or marry over there, or take citizenship there, that I willnever be able to come back home bc I will lose my citizenship here. Thanksssss!!!

Born in USA = Always an American. Stupid Question buddy

Got my NOA2 in the mail today!!!! It was dated Sept. 18th and the website wasnt updated. Now onto NVC!!! :dance:

Yo word!!! I got mine yesterday too! it was approved the 18th too!!!!. so now what is next. what should i be waiting for

After over 7 months waiting for the NOA2 I became frustrated to say the least. This morning I deleted the "favorite" bookmark for VJ (it's a great site, just needed to step back and stop worrying about the NOA2). Within an hour I got the NOA2 approval via email! So, all you other K1 filers who are getting frustrated - just delete the bookmark for VJ from your browser, should work for you too!!!!

Now for the interview!

I always read visajourney everyday and you guys made me stronger and gave me strength. Thank you so much. I will pray for you all to get your NOA2 soon. God Bless us all!!! love you guys..

How long did it take to get your NOA2?? i would like to know

I was messaging another member and thought I would share this information with others on here that could benefit as well.

"I was having trouble texting my girlfriend with my phone (sometimes they would not go through) and it cost .25 each one so it started to add up, and phone calls were too expensive. I used Skype before to talk with some other friends I had in Thailand, it was pretty cool you could make a phone call through it for free. The free part was limited for computer to computer if you are both using Skype, but then I found out you could pay to make calls and texts to landlines or cell phones. The rate for Thailand is .11 so it was very affordable and the sound quality was pretty good too.

As I used their pay service something popped up about a monthly subscription in Skype. The subscription was only $5.95 a month for unlimited calls.... I was blown away. Then I discovered something even better, that I could use my cell phone to call with this unlimited plan (or landline), you don't have to call through the computer. What they do is provide you with a local Skype number, then you call that and set up contacts to call, when you select your contact it dials through Skype and connects you. So, for $5.95 a month you can call at any time and talk for as long as you want. Sometimes on my cell phone the quality is not as good, but I am sure on a landline it would be better (I always use my cell because I don't have a home phone). I used to call through my work and it was free (I work at a global company so they have unlimited calling anywhere), but I had to sneak the calls, so using my phone is way more convenient.

All you have to do is download Skype from www.skype.com, if your family has a computer you can just use it for free through their Skype to Skype calling (or they can go to internet cafes if they have one) and you can also do video calling. It's definitely cheaper than any calling card, and sometimes those cards have bad reception anyway. It has been a plus for me because now I can document my calls and text to her for the visa interview."

The magic jack works great. I got my wife a magic jack and i have one. Magic jack to magic jack is free anywhere in the world

Got a PINK Slip today (A good one from the Embassy),,, 132 days... For a CR1...

We got to the embassy at 7:10AM, we got our number around 7:15am. (Interview schedule was 8:30am).

7:30am , She was called for finger scanning.

She was pre-screened first about 8:00am. Questions asked were: (1) Her Name; (2) Her DOB; (3) How we came to know each other; (4) His first visit; (5) Date of Marriage; (6) His Previous Marriage(s) (7) When he arrived for this visit (8) asked for our marriage PICs (9) Commented about our marriage being done during our first meeting. (10) Asked for other PICs and W2. We gave her other PICs (she asked if we had PIC of wife signing marriage cert. We didn't just husband. She was shown our copy of I-864 which had W2 for 2008. she then found that paper in her file) The interviewer said,,, ok. She was asked to sign the Part 2 of DS230. No additional papers requested. Then we were asked to sit down. Took about 10 minutes

Our number was up for final interview at 10:30am went inside about 10:40am

Consul was young and he was all business. I carried in the paperwork and asked Consul if he would like me to stay or leave. He aked if I was the husband. I said, "Yes" and her told me to have a seat. He asked her, DOB, Name, If she have been outside the countryand if she had a previous child She said 'No'. And, then I got all of the questions,, About my past marriage and if children, etc. Nothing about bonafide marriage. He gave back the PICs we gave the 1st interviewer and said, Visa Approved.

We asked if we could pick up the visa, he said "They only allow delivery via Air21". He said it will be delived within the week or early next week.

Went to releasing window 37, the girl gave me a pink slip. And we asked for pick up, she said "Only Air21".

Paid for the Air21 courier service (to hotel in Manila 205p). Left Embassy at 11am.

PS... Thanks TNGirl,,, I copied your message format....

arent you a little old to be with her?!? what the?!?

My wife passed her interview today!!! I'm so freakin' happy right now! The journey started on February 5, 2009.

I will definitely try to update the journey documents here for reference.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU GUYS AND GOD BLESS!

that was fast. id like to talk to you more. and see what you applied for. I like to see if i am on the same boat as you..............

Hope everyone is having a smooth journey.

My husband posted an ad on craigslist for sexual encounters with men and another personal ad to look for women (where he put his relationship status as "divorced"). He is not aware of I saw the ads and denied all of these. This is not the first incident that has ever happened in our relationship/ marriage. And I found myself becoming increasing intolerant towards this particular behavior. I do not know what to do anymore

What would you do if you were me?

Eeww thats ugly. I would kick him in the balls and spit on his face. What an idoit!

My wife likes to call me her little alien all the time. And I always bug her that it isn't in her own self interest to sponsor me, since when I eventually become a citizen, I'm going to cancel her vote out (she's republican, I'm not).

Just thought I'd start a light hearted conversation to take my mind of checking every 30 minutes if my case has been touched online! I'm not a very patient person!

No we dont joke its a long process. We just want to be together!
