Ryan_and_Priscy

I got a yellow letter this week and I need to bring with me 2 passport pictures. Have the other applicants being asked for any documents when going to the interview/test?

Congratulations everybody who's case status was updated on the 9/20! Us next please! Corrected Ryan_and_Priscy's interview date from 10/14 to 10/24. Does everybody get put in line or do some people get scheduled straight to an interview without being put in line?

Thank your for correcting my date! Regarding if I was put in line, well, I did not receive any hard copy about it, but after my fingerprints were taken, if I remember well, after 1 week I saw the status at USCIS.gov and it showed that I was in line. That is how I knew that then my interview date notification would be coming in.

I just got yesterday the Interview letter! My interview is scheduled for October 24th @ 2:30 PM.

Updating GT9550A walk in bio. Ryan and Priscy I was looking at your timeline and wondering did you mean your NOA date was 7/12 since 8/12 is next month? Also updating the order Ryan and Priscy goes in by sent date.

Oppss! I saw your message until today, sorry! Well, this is what I have: I filed my forms and signed on the 4th of July, sent them on the 6th, and the letter they sent me confirming that the documents were received, dated July 12, same day when they cashed the check. The notification for my appointment was created on the July 18 and is scheduled for August 06. (I am confused now!) :-p

Update: My soon to be x husband told my parents he feels uncomfortable leaving with them now, and would prefer to move to Texas and live with his cousin. He told my family he wanted them to side with him when this divorce trial came forth. I called my family and agreed to give him a second chance. He did not ever imagine that would occur. He was hesitant and when he was holding back it made my parents suspicious. That he was the one that has been pushing for a second chance since I left, and now when I agreed, he decided other wise. When my brother pushed me to come inside, my family was glad to see me. But it didn't go so well with my x.....Instead he called extended family and left the house. Which proved to my parents that maybe I wasn't entirely at fault...But I refused to remain at my residence, I don't need to deal with added stress, my parents disagreed, but am grown.

Taal, my husband's mother went through a similar experience, though his parents are both Americans. I don't really like to talk about them since it is their life but when I read your last post, I can just connect one thing, one behavior from both men (your soon to be ex-husband and my husband's father), they are manipulative.

When my mom in law told us everything it was clear that she finally stood up for herself and left that cloudy marriage. 30 years she endured because she tried not only once but many times to save her marriage. Sometimes we try to give people a second chance, and we do, but it is up to the other person that they will appreciate that opportunity and become better people.

My father in law, when recently married her, told her parents that he only married her because he needed someone to take after his kids from the previous marriage.

We lived with them for the first two years of our marriage (not because we wanted but our economic situation and my husband's health was in danger). After we moved to our place, she seemed more sad and alone... my father in law had the nerve to say to my husband, when he was so sick that he did not love his wife anymore, however, he loved her in his own way. (We always wondered what way he was referring to)

One day my mom in law came to visit us alone and told us that she was filing for divorce. The man was shocked. Why? He was always saying to her: I want divorce, I don't want to live with you anymore, I want divorce. But he never filed for it either. When she finally stood up for herself and said: Fine, you and I are divorcing and she gave him the papers, he could not believe it.

Although until today he says to others that their relationship was loving, caring and faithful. None of these are true. When someone takes ownership of your own salary and hides financial information, lies about affairs, and is always controlling your life, it is not a loving, caring and faithful relationship.

And without letting her know that he was thinking to leave her, one day she came home from work and found just a note. He was gone. Well, he is an old man and accountable for his actions. That was enough for my husband and brother in law to lose all trust in their father.

My mom in law is an amazing woman, after everything she went through, her now freedom was almost scaring for her, but she is fine and living on her own and embracing her life.

This is your time too and embrace life at full!

Day two of this process and seems like its not getting easier, but I'm not hurt as much...Surrounding myself with positive supportive people is benefiting me. Thankful, my husband called me and wanted to fix things, and wanted a second chance. I just don't understand I asked him to head to counseling several times and wanted a second chance. It seems like he realized that his parents will have a longer journey to immigrate to the USA once we are divorced. He didn't call me the day I left or stop me when I walked out of my house, instead was smiling. Just irritating, that my parents are seeing a man wanting to work things out now.....His mom started calling me as well and this woman was aware of our situation and told me to wait and he'd grow up. Changing my phone number today, don't need this negativity.

How many times have you heard that "He will grow up"? And that is coming from his mom? Nope. He will never grow up. And now that he sees that his chances to bring his family are so narrow because his only way to do it so is not with him anymore... yeah, I get it. He will come and beg you and cry and ask for a second chance... The point is, he had chances already but he ignored. People thought you were not that strong, but they are wrong. You are strong! This is your time so take it and don't let anyone to take away your freedom.

First of all thank you to every one that gave me there suggestions. Secondly, let me remind you that this is not a fraudulent marriage, I approached my husband to go to counseling, he refused. He does not speak English well, or hardly so he has the mentality of why go to people for help. Secondly, if I an American born raised woman, could stay in India for one year, and let me remind you, I've only been there each time for our relationship, engagement, marriage, visa appointment. India, is not the place I see myself returning, I was shocked at how a woman was always under the control of her family, well this family I married in to. I was not allowed to leave with out others. We lived in Chandigarh, a city....Long story short, I know how much I despised being in a country without my family, or having the freedom to walk were I wanted or when I wanted to...But did so, only for my husband to be by my side to start our lives. I also knew and was okay with his parents living with us in the future he is the only son after all... HIs dad resides in New York, he is an illegal has been for 25 years.

Whenever we had an issue it was escalated to a family meeting, I prefer my personal life private. But since it's an arranged marriage we got family involved. After numerous sit-downs, I was told I was over reacting about finances. Yes, I do not intent to live with my parents my entire life. And it hurts that he has to send 80% of his income to India. Yes, he should realize that I work and attend school as well, and sacrificed numerous opportunities of attending nursing school, for my husband do to being in India. I'm not upset he's sending money to India, just most of it. I have a great relationship with his parents, Always communicate with them on a regular basis. But they just tell me he'll mature after a while. Or the fact that I should not be selfish and move to Texas where his one cousin lives. Ironic, this was spoken about prior to marriage. HIs dad seems to be not considering that most of my units will not transfer to Texas University, I already checked, and my entire family extended and all live in California, his Dad lives in New York, so I would expect him to move there......

Long story short, I filed for divorce today, after the last sit-down meeting yesterday. I have no proof, I packed my belongings and left., my household. In the process of changing my number, but really can't, my mom is terminally ill from Leukemia, and another reason I live at home, to care for her. I signed a pre-nup prior to marriage to make sure the inheritance I received from my grandparents in a couple years wasn't taken. I sent the Indian embassy letters of what is going on and how he wants to get married in India again....

the Last information you guys should know is, in 2004 his dad paid a woman from the states to India to bring his son over through fiancé visa, he was caught. It made it extremely difficult for his fiancé visa to be approved with me thus ended in denial. That was the main issue I had to stay in India to prove a bonfide marriage...God watches all, I can not be bought, nor will I ever except his money. I am and have been self made my entire life, living with my parents because of our culture....

All I can say is, Way to go Taal! You are a strong woman! Hats off to you. I am sorry to hear about your mom. My prayers for her. Be strong!

:-) :-) This is all I can say!

I am so upset when I hear people harming others and intentionally. I am sorry Taal!

I am against divorce but that only when there are not based circumstances, your case is different and even though the fraud fact may sound so common, you are in a state of abusive and manipulative marriage. My husband thinks, what about hiring a private detective? A friend also bought a hidden pen microphone that helped her to get at least one of the confessions of her ex. It may work, but above all, don't let anyone control you. Best of wishes!

More 2 cents, if the man is a victim of conspiracy, then why the heck he pretends in front of her family that everything is "OK"? He knows clearly the game he is playing, a reason why Taal's family don't believe and tell her that she needs to work out more in her marriage. Seriously? What else does she need to do? Based on this woman's testimony, where is the evidence that man is "voiceles"? Puaf.

Your mom could get a tourist visa and stay with you for 6 months. My dad is from Peru too but he lives in Honduras, I am the only daughter he has, and my mother passed away in 2000. He got the tourist visa and has been here already twice, and one of the reasons I would like to have him more with me is because his health conditions worsen in Honduras. However, until I get my US citizenship, which will be this year, then I can request his residence. If I could go, I wouldn't hesitate, but my husband is also suffering really bad from Chronh's. Will be praying for you and your mom, hoping that pretty soon you both will be together.

Thank you so much. Your experience really inspired me. Thank God that your husband is recovering now. God is good. Yes, faith keeps us going. I'm hanging in here because of God and all your prayers. Thank You again and to your husband. God loves us big time. He never ceases to amaze me. Thank You Lord. God bless you and your hubby. I pray that he will recover fully.

Keep us updated! Thank you also for your prayers. Even hard and bad things have a good result because our God is Almighty and none evil, disease, or failure can stand unto Him. :-)

Where do I begin? It's just I am overwhelmed by unending problems but I believe God won't let things happen for a reason.

So I will start what I received today. I have been waiting for our i-130 email/txt notification until today, the1-130 packet was returned to hubby. Here are the reasons:

he forgot to sign the i-130 form and it says that the application/petition was filed on an outdated version of this form. But we used the latest version from uscis. Please resubmit the petition on the current version. Well, this is not really a bad news because we can resubmit it again.

The bad news is today hubby had his colonoscopy and the impression is likely malignant tumor. Hubby cried and the bad thing is that I'm not around to comfort and hug him and just beside him when the bad news was delivered. I cried too and trying to be strong for him but human as I am, couldn't helped it. God please help and be with us in this trial. Thank you Lord.

We just started the process and hubby just got his job last August. He is very scared now that he might lost his job. Though we are still waiting for the biopsy result and the doctor advised for a CT scan. We are not yet financially stable and trying still to build our future together. We are very sad right now but we put our trust in God that we will overcome this trial.

We need your prayers VJ especially the result of my hubby's biopsy. Thank you. God bless us

My husband and I are praying for your husband's health, the uscis process and for you. We have been in there from the first year we married. But we are still together. I almost lost my husband this year when he had a very bad bowel obstruction from his Chron's disease he suffers since he is 12 years old. I was very scared of thinking in the unthinkable, but thanks God he is now recovering. Financially we have been struggling a lot, neither we do have insurance, and my current job just gives us enough to pay rent and bills. But even among all this situation we pray together and raise hour hope and faith to God. It is scary but that is when I remind myself that I cannot do anything if I lose faith. The good outcome of all this is, we are closer to each other, an experience and a moment that I would no trade for anything else. My husband has taught me lessons of faith and endurance. I truly admire his tenacity and warrior spirit. We send to you both all our support. Hugs.

I am sending my good thoughts and prayers. Don-t let any negative situations, even when it looks harder than ever, take your warrior spirit away. I am truly sorry for this treatment you both got there. As other visajourneys have said, it can be difficult sometimes but this is another level. When I married my husband he had zero money, I was the one working, but we opened our mutual bank account, we showed pictures of what we could, emails, letters, even the books we gave each other. I heard so many stories of how some couples would get different interviewers and harder situations. I was afraid we would face a interview like these but it was better than I expected. Another friend of mine had a problem with her visa and she only found out about it at the interview. The officer was yelling at her and her husband could not even speak. They were very intimidated. The officer treated her as she was trying to trick or make a fraud. But it wasn't her fault.

I admire your husband, he was supporting you all the time.

Keep your chin up, both of you!

Since my dad and mother are from different countries, I have grown and lived in other countries that I loved to be part of them. It wasn´t in my plans to marry and American, live here and build the rest of life with my husband in this country. I am Honduran-Chilean already. But considering that I am the only child in my family, and my dad is the only one alive, he cannot be abroad living by himself alone. We can´t move out of here until my husband has completed his career, and that if his chronic disease really allows him to travel and live abroad. The main option is that my father live with us, and he is willing to move here. (He hasn´t lived in his native country since 1973), the only way he can stay with us without leaving after six months, is becoming a US resident. And that can be done if I am Permanent Resident or US Citizen. As for one nation heritage, I have so many in my family that I have become to appreciate each one of them. Still in my heart I will be always a Honduran knowing that my father is Spanish-Peruvian and mother Spanish-Mapuche (Chilean after all), I will transmit to my kids the Peruvian and Chilean culture heritage, as well my husband wants to transmit his French-German heritage.

Dear,

I was abused when I was little, by an "stranger" who pretended to be a friend of the family. Your situation, I do not want to know under what circumstances you got pregnant, when or why... what it matters here that you are entering a new stage in life of love, trust, and communication. I understand the fear and decide to keep this secret but, you will soon to marry and your husband most likely will become your best friend and confident (because that is how I consider my husband and has helped me a lot). There are scars and wounds that do not heal soon and can remain forever. But forgiveness to yourself is the first step, and then that will lead you to trust and talk about it with the person you love. I am sure he will appreciate that you trust him and there is no fear about the past, that you face now your new life with honor and courage. If he is a man of character and integrity he will understand. It will hurt but forgiveness will come as well. I was afraid my husband would react mad for the things I did unwillingly in the past. But he was very understanding, and became more supportive. And I am not afraid anymore to say how great is to feel forgiven and move on with life. I am grateful to God that he gave me the best husband too.

I was Au Pair too, but my country did not apply for the two years rule. However, I remember a friend who had that rule and she had to go back to her country for two years. If the note in your visa says that you are subject to this normative, it is not a good news. Maybe you would like to contact a lawyer. Good luck!

I personally do not now about a waiver, but if you can do it by yourself and save the money you will pay to a lawyer, it would be great! I mentioned to contact a lawyer since I know a friend who is a Immigrant lawyer in Detroit and has helped others with the waiver. So I considered you could find someone as well that would help you.

I have been contacted by some agencies to work as Translator. But I am required to be either a US citizen or have at least 5 years of residence. But for other positions they might just accept US Citizens. What about the Army? If the person plans to become a US citizen, and has an outstanding background, they can help your husband to expedite the citizenship.

I am starting my process with the Army. The recruiter will be actually happy to answer your questions. I will see how far this goes, in terms of passing each test. On Monday I am taking the second test (info can be found at www.march2success.com). I was actually contacted by them after I entered my resume at monster.com for the Linguist position. I could go either for active duty or reserve, but everyone goes to Basic Combat Training.

Same here! approved in July 12, got my card in July 16.

Crohn's is an auto-immune disease, so it's the body's own immune system going haywire. There are theories out there that suggest such responses by our immune system attacking our own bodies is because up until the last century, our hygiene wasn't so great. There are experimental alternatives like introducing parasites into the intestine. Maintaining healthy intestinal flora can also help alleviate the symptoms.

Thanks Mister Fancypants! Ryan is taking some herbal medicine too, like slippery elm and marshmallow root. he explained to the doctors about this approach, they did not objected anything of it. Yet, one doctor told him nothing could work if there was a blockage in the small intestine, which wasn't allowing to process anything and let any medicine to do its work. Personally, in order to get to know better about this disease, have been researching also the pros and cons of drugs, as well the benefits of holistic medicine. Since right now he cannot eat anything raw, is hard for him to get also all the vitamins his body needs, he is taking a multivitamin supplement, but since now he is able to digest properly, he is juicing carrot, spinach and beet. Thanks again for the info!

I thought my situation was lousy in this hospital bed, I'm a bit rusty but here goes:

LORD, you are the King of Kings, The Sovereign Lord of All and to you we turn for succor for ailing brother Ryan and his wife, Priscy. You are the well-spring from which all goodness and light flow. It is you who led the Children of Israel out of the darkness of bondage, it is you hears the cries of the children and adults alike and it is you alone who brings comfort the stricken and powerless. LORD, many miracles have you done, your compassion and mercy extend beyond the Heavens and we beseech you one more time to spread your Divine Light on this poor man and family and restore him to health so he may remember you and become a true and faithful servant in your cause. Amen.

Thank you for this prayer! I hope you too are doing better! Let's support each other in prayers, so I will have you in mine as well. May Him make rain of blessings of health, life and joy fill your spirit and heart! (The same wish goes for everyone here)

I'm sorry he is suffering so. You say he was not approved for disability...did he appeal the decision? 90% of all disability cases are initially denied. Look into whether he still has time to appeal. Get an attorney...there is no cost other than for medical records and such, other than that, they don't get paid unless the case is won and then they get a percentage of back pay. Look into it. I have a dear friend with Crohns. She does her best to work when she can...but there are times she simply can't. Good luck.

He found a federal attorney, recommended by one of our neighbors who has the same disease. We are hoping this will help him.

Blessings to you both!

Amen - Bishop

Thank you!

My prayers go to you both

Thanks!

I am sorry to hear this. Take each day at a time. And as the caregiver make sure you get enough sleep and rest or else your health will fail. Is there any family in the area that can help out? There are some good advice given in previous posts about REMICADE® treatment that you can look into.

I can get now more sleep and rest. Thank you for your advice too. Doctors have told him about REMICADe but as he does not have insurance until he gets maybe, medicare, they will probably give him this medicine. Right now they are still keeping him with prednisone.

I am back! I am reading all the kind posts from all of you, and I am really really touched and thankful to God for your support! I think I wrote this request two Saturdays ago, while my husband was in bed in pain. I was scared, very scared. Sunday passed with not problems, but Monday I went to work and around mid-morning he called me saying he was again in great pain. The day passed by and I came home. There he was so defenseless, around midnight (12:30) (I went to bed around 12 midnight) he woke me up asking to call ambulance, I forgot my English... So we spend until last Saturday at the hospital, first to ER then, gradually as he was recovering, hospitalised. Initially, when he was child, the problem was located at the colon area. This time they found a blockage in the small intestine. Doctors said it was just in time otherwise that could have become a deadly infection. So they inserted a tube through his nose to the intestine and cleaned out all the materia that was stuck and provoking inflammation.

We both are vegetarians, I am mostly vegan since I am a newborn, but his reason was because his parents made than change when he was teenager since side effects were then threatening his life and hoping diet would also help, he is pretty careful in what he eats, keeping a track of food he can consume and don't cause any pain, we are totally away from junk food, fried gourmets, anything that is not, lets say, healthy. He is back at home, with higher dose of drugs, however, for him is getting also tiring since he was before and kind of that, did not help at all. I understand this is a disease that is pretty delicate, not like stomach ache or headache.

He is again reappealing the case in order to get Medicare, thanks goodness hospital will pay the 40%. I am just happy I am by his side to take care of him. His folks are in the same state, they are helping us as much as they can. In order to try a different approach, he is decided to go totally holistic, so besides of the drugs he is taking, he is also having probiotics. I know the system needs to rebuild the flora, which is so important for us to have the proper digestion. He is feeling better, although his feet are swollen and is hard for him to walk around, still he tries. He makes fun of himself saying if I want some sausage... In resume, he is fighting back, one thing I really admire of him, he never gives up. Thanks to all for the prayers! God bless you!

I'm sorry his medical condition has returned, I certainly hope he gets better soon and has as much of a recovery as medically possible.

Thank you so much!
