Jeez...free information and people can get offended??....I recommend a lawyer ...free websites are not for sensitive individuals.
Sachi..love u.... I cant wait to meet you in Vegas with our folks from March thread...

I, personally, prefer this one from Paul: "For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
But anyways, Nietzschze did provide some good thoughts, even for those of us who believe.
Peace,
Bishop

Yep. Implanon when the husband gets here. Covered for 3 years and a return to fertility usually within 36 hours after removal. Oh, yes.
Call your insurance (the number's on the back of the card) and ask what it would cost for you. What is covered and what comes out of your deductible? Insertion. The device itself. Removal. Office visit/exam fee. Are you allowed to have more than one OB/GYN visit per year? (Don't look at me! I've seen all sorts of wacky insurances.) For me, Implanon comes out of my annual deductible. My OB/GYN offers a discount for paying cash in full and also offers payment plans. For me, it comes to around $600. Divide that by 36 months. That's around $16 per month. Oh, oh yes.
If the pill is expensive even with your insurance, ask your doctor if there is a copay card available. These are assistance cards from the manufacturer. The manufacturer reimburses the pharmacy for the portion of your copay over a certain amount. For example, Loestrin-24 has a $24 per month copay card. Your insurance says it's $40 per month for Loestrin-24. You pay $24. The manufacturer pays the pharmacy the $16 difference.
Or check the manufacturer's website/call the manufacturer. There are often assistance programs for various drugs, some dependent upon income and some not.
Then, check with your pharmacy. Many have preferred drugs now that they will charge less for. If your insurance works with CVS/Caremark, you might want to look into them. We use them a lot in our practice and I've never had complaints. If not, then your insurance probably has a preferred pharmacy or a mail-order option. You can check your insurance's preferred prescription list (aka Formulary), too. It should be available on their website and should tell you which medications are the most and least expensive.
Shop around at pharmacies. Pharmacies can often run "test claims" to find out what your copay would be for a certain drug.
If none of these are available, just be straight with your doctor. You want a reliable birth control pill that not going to interfere with your body's balance too much and has a lower price tag. That's what I want; what you want may be different.
Planned Parenthood is a good option, as others have suggested. If you have insurance, be sure PP is In-Network before heading over.
Umm.... Umm... I'm out of ideas for now. I'm sure I'll think of more at work tomorrow.

It may not be seen as fraud but the best thing would be to document that the ticket is a loan and not a "gift" . If you give them the ticket then you may be seeing as paying for your sisters way to the US. write up a promissory note and make some small payment plan and you can present that if something happens and if it is questioned.

The poverty guidelines document is the I-864P here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=73c63591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
If and when there are any updates they will be reflected here. Note the current version is dated 13 Feb 2009 so no updates since then.

Congratulations on your marriage and new addition!
1. Start with I-130 and one G-325A for each of you with all the supporting documents. You're now going for the CR-1 visa. Here's the guide. Once you submit those, you wait for USCIS approval. Being military, you can get it expedited. Unfortunately, you'll have to look into that on your own, as I'm not familiar with those procedures. There is a USCIS mliitary helpline. Look for it on the USCIS website.
From there, your case goes to NVC. You'll need an I-864 and a DS-230 with all the supporting documents from the two of you. Here are LingChe's Shortcuts through NVC. You can work on getting prepared for this while waiting for USCIS approval on your I-130.
2. You'll need to disclose that you've previously filed a visa petition for her on your paperwork and may be asked about it at her interview. Be honest and don't worry.
3. There is a way for everything. I don't see a legal way to keep her here past 90 days, though. If you expedite your petition through USCIS, it may only take 6 weeks. If you use those 6 weeks to prepare everything like LingChe says, then you should be through NVC in about a month. She'll then have to wait for an interview. We'll say 6 more weeks, but I'm not sure on that one. So... you're maybe looking at 4 months and she'll be able to be here legally.
Please note that this visa will not automatically grant her citizenship. She will be eligible for citizenship after living with you in the US as your wife for 3 years (minus 90 days). Before this, though, she'll need to remove the conditions of her residency after she's been here for 2 years minus 90 days. This can be confusing at first. Look for more information on Removal of Conditions and Naturalization.
4. Not true. You're a US citizen. Your child can be born anywhere and will still be a US citizen.
Good luck!

What? So you're saying these women should be disrespectful to their faith because they've moved from one country to another? If you were Christian and moved to Thailand, would you dishonor God by bowing to a Buddha statue? Would you be sure to ordain as a monk or nun if one of your parents or grandparents were sick?
As an American woman, I'm not at all offended or intimidated, as you say, by Muslim women who choose to live their faith. Their choice certainly doesn't make me, or them, any more or less "equal" to a man.
You say women in America are equal to men, correct? So then both women and men have the same right to choose how they dress and how they partake in their faith, no? Which is it? These women are equal to you. You may not choose to believe as they do, or even to publicly express your beliefs. Just because their choice of faith and expression is different than yours does not make it any less valid or worthy of respect.

its not about culture its about pious and is between the women that follow it and God.....
does this mean the Mina-nights (prolly spelled wrong) should stop wearing their caps and long dresses? does this mean the Amish should stop their way of life? im a citizen of the usa and i am a muslim what i wear is not anyone's business thats the great thing about the USA freedom of religion.
just my opinion
sara

Yay!!!!! That's great news! Congrats!
Gina! Your turn!

I dunno. My best friend's mom has been Miss Debbie to me for more than 15 years. It's stuck. To just call her Debbie feels weird. Almost like calling my own mother by her first name instead of Mom.

They'll be open.
Here's the federal holiday schedule: http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules/fedhol/2010.asp Next one is Memorial Day. Hopefully, we're all done by then.

1. Yes, you're correct.
2. No. My DIY divorce was in Texas.
3. When my ex an I filed, our situation was a little similar to yours. He had a girlfriend and I had begun talking to my current husband but we were only friends. The ex and I still filed a no fault divorce citing irreconcilable differences and, since we were still living together, the lack of marital relations for the 9 or so months prior to filing. We had no problems getting the divorce and to this day are still friends.
4. and 5. Having filed for a CR-1, I'm not entirely certain on the time limits between filing K-1 petitions. I can say to expect it to come up during the initial filing and again at the interview. Expect to be asked questions at the very least. If you're on good terms with your husband, then perhaps you can each write a letter explaining the breakdown of your marriage (no fault, remember). He can use yours when petitioning for citizenship and you can has his available if needed during your new K-1 adventure.

simply startling... withdraw and let her reap her #######

As the petitioner, you withdraw your financial support, you you withdraw your I-864. I would do as suggested above, as well as get an infopass to ensure that there isn't anything else you should do or a different address to send it to. Take another copy of your notorized withdrawal to the infopass.
Also, get started on your divorce.
