Fixed it, I think?

lol better than sox....thanks though!!!!

You can watch Divorce Court with just a regular antenna, A couple days ago they had some woman on there crying that her husband wanted her to put his shoes and sox on for him. The Judge was acting like there was something wrong with this. As if all wives arn't supposed to do it. This womens lib propaganda can only confuse a poor girl.

This is sooo hillarious....i will just put on my husband sucks if he is ill and its impossible for him to put on by himself.....aside from that ...hey, i will put your sucks on, if you put mine too...it's give and take....marriage is all about fair.

This is what bothers me the most. After a few days, even a week or so, and I did not hear from my wife I would be burning up the phone lines trying to find out what happened. 6 Months? And now she cannot locate him? This is a relationship? Something is very seriously wrong here.

She should get any contact number from her husband family and their address in case of emergency.....now she gets a lesson to not just jump to marry a guy from somewhere with out knowing him....

Awesome! And who cares about what the Philippines, she's not going back anyway.

And fortunately for us there aren't any kids.

Who cares? You should, if her married is not annulled in Philippines and marrying her by just devorcing her marriage back in Phil. here in the US....later on you will be surprise if she is going to divorced you and pitition her husband back in Philippines....(i am just giving you a hint)

We have been married about 6 months and adjusted status a month ago. She got her green card in the mail and it is a permanent resident 10 yr green card. I'd like to hear from people to whom this happened rather than people telling me what the law says or speculation about what will happen at ROC or the citizenship interview.

Did you call USCIS and they sent you a new one? (also, how did they do that? She mails her 10 yr in and hopes it does not get lost in the mail while they prepare her new one?)

Did you apply to remove conditions as if it were a 2 yr card and if so, what happened?

Did anyone let this ride and if so, what were your consequences?

I would appreciate firsthand knowledge of this. I have seen on here where this has happened to people but not seen follow-up as to how they dealt with it later or what issues arose because of it.

Make an infopass to the nearest uscis office....and tell them about the error of your green card.....i did this when they sent my son green card and had his name misspelled on it....then you don't have to worry about it...it's not your fault someone didn't do his job correctly...about your 3rd question...dont keep it, you know isn't the right one... it will give you so much trouble later.

Ok, let me think....the OP must be sooo much young to her fiance.....and she is asking the same question to herself...... but she needs help from VJ members to answer it.

Can you ask her to wait a bit longer ? Maybe after you find your new job and she sees you are making more money maybe things will change for both?

No body should make fun of you, you felt in love..nothing wrong with that.

You are so nice for giving him an advice like that.....his wife treated him like a #######....wait until your fiance' wife to be will treat you that way, we will see what kind of move are you going to do.

To the OP you still have a chance to get away from your situation it's not too late....

As someone else said (I think it was Kevin), love is a very powerful thing. Because I love my wife, I'm hopeful that she'll overcome this stage and she'll understand that what she's doing is wrong. My wife shows in a lot of ways that have nothing to do with money that she loves me and that she's committed to the relationship working. She simply has a delusion that I have some kind of bottomless pit of money that I'm hiding from her.

Could I use counseling? I've been in support groups and have been to counseling and it is largely through those groups that I've learned to be more comfortable with saying no or being "tough".

Love is the most important part of the relation....if both of you are transparent of what you earn and what she earn and both of you talks about all the bills to be paid and both of you will talk about how much money left and to be save and will talk about if there is spare then she can sent back home...i think everything will be fine. In our situation we are open in everything especially financially....we don't fight over money we live how much money left after all the bills paid....and we dont send money back to philippines unless its for emergency...emergency means no one can help them but us....if your wife knows that theres no way for both of you to help her family back home then there are many filipina woman out there seeking for love and a long lasting family not just for your money..... (this problem is not happining only to filipina its happend in every race) the most important thing is how you gonna deal with it.

Hello Everyone,

How are you doing? I was wondering what type of photographic evidence the Manila consulate prefers? Is it ok to use a digital camera and have the photos printed at a Kodak printing station or to use an old fashioned film camera. The only cheep ones I can find these days are throw away cameras. Also is it neccesary to set up the digital camera to have the date stamped on the front of the photo? (unfortunately my digital cam does not have that feature). Is it sufficent to write the date the and case info on the back of the photos instead. Are photos that are printed on plane white printer paper accepted?

I'm going to the Philippines to be with my fiance Cherry in 26 days and I'm so excited. When I come back I will have tons of evidence to send in for the K-1 visa petition. We were originally going for the CR-1, but decided that the K-1 would suit us better. I was wondering what everyone else's experiences have been with the photographic evidence; especially with those who have approved visa's or who are green card holders through the K-1 or CR-1/IR-1 visa process. Thanks in advance for your help.

USCIS....NVC....Philippines consulate.... doesn't care whether it's digital or old fashioned camera....as long as you have picture together. Good luck!!!

So, they didn't give my wife her CR-1 on her first interview. My father went all the way down there and took off work because I am in school, the return tickets were bought, and they said that they need my original birth certificate and divorce decree. #######? On the NVC packet 3 document, it says that it is not needed for this application. Did the embassy mess up? Or do they really need my original birth certificate and divorce decree? I'm absolutely at a loss for words. No wonder people come here illegally.

Just give what they ask then everything will be fine ...it happend to my interview they ask stuff that they didnt mention on our letter of appointment and it screwed up the ticket of 3 of us and cost us another $1,700...they are really happy to give people a hard time....

Hes from Turkey.He was a great guy there,I dont know what happned to this man I loved so much.I was a fool!Question,how can I get him out of my house?Hes there and im somewhere else,I am the sole owner.Can I evict him even though I am in process of divorce,or can I get in more trouble because I sponsored him.I am also in process to withdraw I-130 did this yesterday,I dont know when it will be finalized.I wake up every morning thinking of how this man could hurt me like this,now I am starting to understand why he was always picking fights and treating me like dirt.He mantally abused but I was stuoid to stay woth him cause he kept telling me it was his culture and that all Turkish men are all the same,I dont beleiave that,they cant be all the same,he played woth my head and ruined my entire life.What can I do to get him out of my house without getting in trouble with immigration or the law.I heard he has changed the locks on my house too.He thinks when we get divorced that hes going to get half the house.We have only been married 1 year and a half.Im really sad,how can this man be so cold,I gave him the world and suffered so much.Im not well at all.I hired a lawyer to withdraw all!I have no pictures of abuse only my family as witnesses.Hes got all the fake pictures!

I should of been so evil to take photos of all the timnes he beat me for no reason and I never said a word,I loved him that much and thought it was going to change.I couldnt hit him back,hes too strong and big,but he manipulated me so much I think thats what he wanted to take real photos.I got proof it didnt come from me these marks he claimed I did.I sent them to my lawyer.Thankyou for all you prayers and help.............

I feel sorry for you......i seldom heard of woman beat up there husband.....i hope you can get out of this situation....

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just going to look at this the way an immigration officer might. Ok?

You've only been in the US for a few months. You married within the 90 day window, which is good. But now, only a few short months later, you're living with your mom and sister. An immigration officer is likely to think that you got a K1 primarily to reunite with your family, and not to be with your husband. This suspicion will be even stronger if you happen to be from a country with a very long wait for a family preference visa, like Mexico or the Philippines.

Your future life in America with your husband is at stake. You and your husband need to get this situation straightened out. If you are in the same boat when it comes time for the AOS interview then you will probably not be getting a green card.

Honestly this looks like fraud to me...how can you get married and not living together....i dont care about the mother in law ...you are his wife and you have to fight for that ...we are not living in the third world country..... we are living in the country that woman has rights....the immigration will find out everything....and one more thing you got your family here they will think you come here to be with your family not for the K1...so you have to be careful on how you gonna pass the interview...GOOD LUCK!!!!

Comments : HAPPILY MARRIED....

Hubby and I are going back in one week. I want to make sure we understand what to do at POE in terms of the SSN. Basically make sure he is in the SAVE system (whatever that is) and wait 2 weeks? If no SSN in 2 weeks then go and apply? Do we have to wait 2 weeks? I go back to work then and it would be better if we go down before school starts up again. The SS offices where you can do that in my area are all about an hour away.

Also, when we go through, which line do we go in? Will I be with him the whole time since we are coming back together? We have 2 hours 45 minutes between flights at JFK. I hope it's enough!

we got our Welcome letter yesterday......

I'm not from the PI but I don't understand this -- is this considered to be normal? Do all American men married to Pinay women send money back to the PI on a regular basis? Surely your wife's family survived before you came along? Why are you expected to give them a weekly allowance all of a sudden? ESPECIALLY when you're not a millionaire and it is to your own financial detriment. I'm shocked that your wife would behave in such a childish and petulant manner. Why can't she get a job? If you are you "cheap" if you don't help out, I'd say she's lazy and irresponsible.

I mean it's one thing to send money if there's an emergency or a shortage of funds all of a sudden in a dire situation or Christmas gifts and such-- that's a different thing. I get that. But this is absolutely ridiculous. I would NEVER except my husband to be obligated for my family's upkeep. Ensure she understands how much you make and what your cost of living is--bills, gas, rent, etc. People arriving from poorer countries often have NO idea how HIGH the cost of living is in the U.S. or what the real value of a $ is. $20,000 per annum probably sounds like a ton of money to them.

Money doesn't grow on trees. Things like this make me extremely angry.

Sorry if I butted in where I don't belong.

I guess you picked a wrong one...i am a Filipina wife..when i was working in Toronto I sent so much money to my family to fits thier need...but when i met my husband and marry him i explained to my family that it's my time to take good care of myself and to be happy... .i dont want to give them money that out of my husband pocket.....i love my husband so much and i dont want to take advantage from him....he had a hard time in processing our papers and thats enough..

Ask your wife if she really loves you or just loves you because you are an American and she think you can support her family back home....show her the bills you need to pay every month and show her how much you got...and maybe whe will understand...

I know a woman from China who asked $1000 dollar a week from his American husband while she still in China and she still want her husband to send to his dad that amount even she's already here...he sent them more than $30,000 in less than a year until he thinks this is over.....and where is she now?....she ran off with her unadjusted k3 visa....then he knews she just love his money.....(well Filipina...chinese or whatever race you belong if you are this kind of a woman you are so EMBARASSING....)

I already sent a copy of my birth certificate and a copy of the translation( I wasn't born in the US I gained the citizenship via marriage)

I'm about to send DS230 for my mom, but I never recieve any REF email for missing document yet. do I have to send my original birth certificate with my mom's docoments?

Thank you in advance

The petitioner need to send his/her original birth certificate.....

Agree

I must misunderstood but why he wrote 24 Oct. 2010..instead of 24 June 2010 for that was the date I enter US? And what is the correct spelling of PERMANENT for you and WITHIN for one word for i am just copying that from the paper they gave to me on my Point Of Entry....I joined this forum to ask about matter i confused of.... but if you just come to just correct my spelling by the way thanks!!!!!(Just Bob)

You should file within the 90 days window of the expiry date mentioned on your card. In the meantime read the ROC guides and prepare your file. Good Luck!

Is this mean the officer was wrong...and he gave me that paper dated on it and tell me that is the proof to my knowledge and let me sign it and he sign it and he wants my husband to sign it too....

Hi Guys,

I just want to ask what is the correct time to file 1-751 for removal condition...on my point of entry last June 24, 2010 the officer told me to file a form I-751 90 days before our wedding anniversary....and he gave me this paper with the letter head of HOMELAND SECURTIY CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION office of Field Operation...memorandum dated June 24, 2010 stated...

To: my name

Pursuant to section 216 of the immigration and Naturalization Act, you have been granted CONDITIONAL PERMANENT residence status as of 24 OCT 2010. You and your petitioning spouse must file a form 1-751, petition to remove the condition on residence with in 90 days period preceding the second anniversary of your admission for permament residence.

If a petition, for 1-751, is not filed within theis period, your conditional permanent residence status will automatically terminate and you will be subject to removal from the United State.....and then the officer let me sign it and he sign it...

I was really confuse for 3 officers doing our papers on our point of entry one for me one for the next window and so the other window...the officer who assist my papers didn's say anything the officer who assist my 13 year old daughter told me that we have been granted 2 year green card stamps on our passport for our married is less than 2 years and we have to wait on the mail later for the immigration will send our 10 year green card after 2 year anniversary of our wedding...and the officer who assist my son papers asked me when did we get married so i said OCT. 24, 2008 and he gave the form which is stated above and said i have to file 1-751 90 days before our wedding anniversary....it's confussing i dont know who i am going to follow.....anyone can help?

I'm sorry but I do agree here.. to a point. It's INCREDIBLY rude to speak another language in front of someone who doesn't understand it BUT there are rules. For instance, if he's actually sitting there supposed to be involved in the conversation but being left out of the conversation, then it's ridiculously rude and shouldn't be done. If he's sitting there just in the same room doing his own thing then there's nothing wrong with it. It's like sitting in the room and MSN'ing to someone else. he knows you're talking to someone but doesn't know what you're saying.. its the same thing.

Only the OP can really know if their relationship was truly abusive. Some people think just yelling is abusive, but there's more to it than just yelling. Respect is a 2 way street. If he's just being an #### (lack of respect wise) then I doubt it's grounds for VAWA, but if he's actually psychologically abusing you, or physically or sexually then yes of course. I'm not sure what the grounds are. All you can do is apply and see what happens.

I can't imagine to live with a person like that either.....i don't want to be yelled in front of many people that is out of respect.....but how about giving him a few months to work out your marriage.....marrying someone you doesn't know that long is like a gamble...it's full of adjustment..... try to be more patient maybe he will change later.....then if he keep doing this to you that the time to find a lawyer...green card is a green card but where is the happiness...i still beleive that everyone has the right to ask and to say something to his partner the right to do inside the house whatever it is as long as it's harmless....i know what kind of a person you got he is an @$$!!!!!!

I know so many people ask questions over and over again about interviews but i was just wondering. Did anyone get asked to bring extra documents and evidence and copies of everything? No where in my interview letter does it state i need to bring any anymore, just my passport, passport pics and stamps. I still have a big bunch of docs im going to take with me but i was just curious. I was thinking if i didnt know this webiste and didnt know anyone who had done this i would have gone there without anything.

Just bring every documents you think that can help as an evidence.....they don't say anything on the letter of appointment what to bring but during on my interview they asked me all the proof for bonafide marriage...

My husband added me to his account they just asked me to show our marriage contract and i did show my drivers license in Canada as my identification but have to do it personally for you have a little bit of explanation to them for i dont have SSN at that time...so i explained to them that we are going to file my CR1 and that can help us for the processing...

I am leaving July 9, 2010 via Delta airlines. My Port of Entry is Detroit. I am CRI Visa and it has annotation of 212(g)(2)(B) also I551 temporary resident upon entry.

My question is, what papers/documents am I going to expect that the immigration is going to give at my POE? i dont want to missed anything as I know for sure will create problems in the future. please share your experience. any info is very much appreciated.

Don't worry everything will be fine...i was a little bit nervous of my Point of Entry but it went out so easy....I just arrived with my 2 kids in US June 24.....our port of entry was in San Francisco....the only thing you have to carry with you is your passport with your visa....custom form and the packet from your US embassy...custom form will be given at the aircraft you are in..as long as you have all of that you don't have nothing to worry....

check out some of the other interview threads.

but i think all you need is

customs form, passport, visa, and the envelope they gave you at your interview.

am i missing anything?
