    Rob and Jill got a reaction from ~Alessa~ in black ink or blue ink does it really matter??   
    It does not matter if you use blue or black ink. I just did a lenghthy search online for that answer. SOME places require their Notary Publics to use blue ink, and SOME places require blue to show the difference between a photocopy and the original. If the document does not specifically say what color ink to use Blue or Black is fine.

    This quote was taken from your other post. (the one you linked).
    Convicted Felons can be deprived of certain rights for the rest of their lives in the United States.
    Convicted Felons- Potential Lost Rights
    Furthermore, in the United States a "minor" can be tried as an adult for a crime committed IF the criminal was deemed to be of an age where they were old enough to know better. At 17, sorry, but your fiance falls under the category of being old enough to know better than being a "gang banger" and murdering another person, so yes, he can be tried as an adult.
    It might do you A LOT of good to do some research into the United States Justice System. You need to know what you're fighting against if this is what you really want. Your future husband is going to have a hard time finding high paying jobs with his record and he will still lose other rights.
    Also, in your other post, you said you wanted to get married and come here before he gets out of prison, so you can work. If you want to work immediately when you get here you need to file for the CR-1..

    Rob and Jill got a reaction from user19000 in Adjustment of status and Divorce   
    The first part of this post that absolutely boggles my mind is getting married with the money for the AOS. Did you not know you were going to have to pay another $1,000+ after you were married? As your wife, she SHOULD be expecting it because it is part of the process and part of what you agreed to do when you brought her here saying you would support her.
    Now, this is my opinion based off of the information you provided above.
    I think she is trying to use you for a GC.
    If you are willing to share more of what you're arguing about, or more of why you aren't getting along, then it would be easier to tell if she is having a hard time adjusting or if she is using you. Furthermore, part of her attitude could very well be because she expected you to AOS her, and you haven't yet. Maybe she is paranoid you aren't going to do it and acting out because of it. Maybe you don't want to file it because you met one of her first cousins and suddenly they are looking pretty hot to you...lol We don't know.
    I'm divorced. I can tell you this. The first 4-5 months I was married we fought about who was going to cook, clean, pay bills, mow the yard, and many other things. These are adjustments you make when you live together. If this is the first marriage for the both of you, I would honestly say, you need to sit down and TALK about it. Find out what is different, find out if you can work it out and go from there.
    Marriages ARE WORK, and anyone who says different is full of it. They aren't always all cute and fun. If you two can't put in the WORK it takes to keep it together, then throw in the towel. If you also can't have to cute and fun moments together, and ALL it becomes is work....is it worth it? That's up to you.

    Rob and Jill reacted to TBoneTX in CO not convinced of genuine relationship   
    If this is a K-1, there won't or can't be much of this.OP, about all that you can do is to procure letters from people who know you and know of the relationship. There should be more letters from your people than his. They should state who they are, their occupation, their relationship to you, the details of their knowledge of the relationship, and COMPLETE contact information for themselves.
    If they can produce hard-copy letters and sign them in front of a notary (the service should be free or cheap at their own bank), that's fine; if all that's feasible to get is an e-mail message, that will do, too.
    Excellent people from whom to get such letters are your minister, your boss, and people of standing in the community who know you. Ex-military personnel, especially any who have held high rank or special assignments, are great to get letters from.
    He should seek no more than 3 or 4 letters from his people. These should be extremely formal, and certified by a notary-type person in Cyprus.
    His CO was a lot kinder than those at the ####### consulate in Ecuador, who refused to acknowledge the evidence that so many of us brought to the interview.
    However, a 29-year age difference is massive, especially if it's not common for a woman to be much older than her man in a particular country.

    This kind of situation in life is not when you sit back and play the nicey nicey Southern Belle. This is a time in your life when you go all super hero crazy B*&^% on them, get your money back, get a 10 year unconditional, and if ONE single ONE of those people tell you no, you get a lawyer and sue the ####### out of them. You get them for numerous EAD fees, you get them for any lost work he had because you were waiting on EAD processing, you get them on GAS for driving to appointments, and most of all you get them for mental anguish.

    If you want the thread closed, you have to report it yourself to the admin and request closure.
    From my standpoint I look at it all this way...
    NEITHER of you should have anything in the past, on a PC, or on a phone that the other person should not be able to see 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If EITHER one of you is talking, chatting, emailing, or anything else that you think might upset your spouse, it is probably inappropriate.
    Secondly, the way this argument is going down is very immature. NO SPOUSE and I mean NO spouse has the right in ANY WAY to verbally degrade the other. You two need to sit down like the grown adults YOU SHOULD BE (and yes, 22 is an ADULT HUN), and TALK about it. It's not OK to yell at her while she is driving. It's not OK to call him psycho. It's not OK or healthy to a relationship to air your S*&^ on a forum in front of everyone.
    You two both need a time out if this is how you treat each other.

    This has got to be the most messed up case I have seen in some time. Why have you not gotten congressional office involved, their liaison should be able to shake trees better than you.
    What really sucks is in all likelyhood the resulting card will still be a 2 year conditional card, even with more than 2 years of marriage, the approval happened way back in 2007, also knowing USCIS, they will hit you fo not filing to remove conditions within 90 days prior to July 2009.
    I would seriously lawyer up, and see about suing them for this stupidity. With enough hammering you may get a 10 year un-conditional card out of this screw-up.

    No, I saw the metaphor. But it's still irrelevant to the OP's question.
    He is requesting information about a waiver in order to petition for a second I-129F in two years and 3rd overall. He's not asking for relationship advice. His is a serious and important question that doesn't get answered clearly around here, as is apparent from the responses in this thread.

    First, the letter you wrote is quite long and rambling. You're not trying to pass legislature, you're trying to be a squeaky wheel. The stuff abotu Haiti is speculation and wasted effort. Honestly, it makes you come across as a rambling conspiracy theorist. They also don't want to hear about the hardships it causes on you to be separated from your fiance. You KNEW you would be separated when you filed. It's not like it was a big surprise.
    Second, if you were to write your letter to heart, the TRUE statement here would be that you are ticked off because they haven't adjusted their website to accurately show their processing times.
    Third, the staff at the call center is usless. They are useless because of frivilious law suits. If you were told "it will be finished on this date" and it's not, but you book a flight etc., and miss your flight because it wasn't ready when they said it would be ready then all kinds of lawsuits would be going around.
    Lastly, I think so many of you here are forgetting something MAJOR that happened in July. All the new filers got to use the Texas processing center. So all of a sudden ALL of these people started getting Visas approved after stupidly short waiting times. People waiting to file noticed and there was A HUGE influx of petitions. At some point it had to cause a backlog.
    Personally, I think you should call your DIRECT Senator and ask for an inquiry on your visa when you are PAST THE NORMAL PROCESSING TIMES STATED ON THEIR WEBSITE. I also think you should reorganize your letter into something a bit more concise.

    Hello Brian,
    I too was curious about your ages when I read the post. I was married (the first time) 2 months before I turned 22. I had the big wedding with the dress, flowers, the place, the photographer, the cake, you name it. I seriously want your fiance to see this post...
    1. The train of the dress was permanently stained because the venue didn't MOP before the wedding.
    2. The photographer drove me absolutely nuts during the entire wedding and I spent most of the time on the back patio trying to hide from her. When I wasn't hiding from her I was arguing with her about how I WAS NOT going to change out of my dress 20 minutes after the wedding and "fake" leaving so she could go home early.
    3. My $450.00 cake fell over- Never purchase a "quake cake" apparently it's literal.
    4. The AC went out
    5. My mom forgot my wedding dress at the cleaners and had to call and beg them to get it before the wedding.
    6. I puked every day for 2 months straight from the stress of getting married.
    7. It was supposed to take an hour to do my hair...it took 3.
    Do you want me to keep going? Not that I wasn't happy to have it at the time, when I look back on it, A LOT of it was wasted money. My mom offered me $5,000 to go to Vegas and get married instead of the wedding planning...When I look back, I wish I HAD gone that route.
    So, I am married again. The TOTAL cost for my second wedding was less than $250.00. No vomit, no stained dress, no crappy over paid photographers. I had a brand new dress, fresh flowers I purchased and arranged, a cake from Sam's Club, and was surrounded by friends and family while married by a JP in my brother's backyard.
    Can you guess which wedding I would rather have again?

    It says on the site for USCIS its a 5 month waiting time for your NOA2 so maybe before complaining wait till this alotted time is over. I had to wait 147 days for mines to be approved after the NOA1! You also have to remember that VJ only covers a small percentage of people filing cases so the
    centres have thousands of others applying every month! I understand the wait is terrible and makes things difficult but thats just the way it is due to the amount of applications.

    Just as an FYI here is a link to an interesting article about the new Health Care Plan in the US and it's laws regarding a pre-existing condition clause. If for some reason your husband's insurance won't cover you, you can get into the National High Risk Pool.
    Pre-Existing Condition Clause
    Also, my husband came from the UK and I didn't have to show them anything. I very adamantly stressed that all he had was a card showing he had insurance and that because it's a pretty common fact that there is a National Healthcare program there, that the insurance company was being absolutely ABSURD in asking for this information. I received his new insurance cards in the mail a week or less after we were married.
    EVERYONE needs to keep in mind that insurance companies (and I work in the industry, although not healthcare), ARE NOT GODS. You can argue with them. You can prove your point and fight for what you think is right or obvious. The person on the phone IS NOT always the final say. If they give you ####### about it, ask for the account manager who handles your policy, or ask the Underwriter for the policy to explain why you have to provide it. Ask them why THEIR COMMON SENSE doesn't tell them that it's obvious you've had coverage.

    Rob and Jill got a reaction from Zharren Young in Pregnant with another guy's baby   
    Please clarify exactly what you're asking because a lot of it doesn't make sense. This is what I gather so far:
    You entered a marriage in good faith.
    You had an affair and became pregnant.
    You and your husband are staying together, but you don't want the name of ANY man on the birth certificate because you are afraid of losing the baby?
    You are not in "super trouble". You had an issue in your marriage and it sounds like you are working through it. If your marriage stays together and works out after something like that, then I think it shows you two are a more mature couple. Perhaps it would be a good idea to go to some counseling together though in order to prove you two are working on it.
    If it were me...I would have the biological father's name put on the birth certificate. (If all else fails he is the father and he IS responsible for paying for child support. You didn't get yourself pregnant...it takes two.)Then if he did not want to take part in the child's life and your husband IS willing to do so, have your husband adopt your child.
    The other option is to put the biological dad on the BC for legal purposes, and ask him to then sign away his rights. If he does that you are the sole guardian of the child. The birth father has no rights, and your husband would have no rights.
    However, I can say with certainity you do not HAVE to put any man's name on the certificate...depending on the state you're living in. Check your local laws!!!
