Hi F2a,

I have made the payment and its through NVC not USCIS.

It's the fees for AOS and IV fees bill which I received at the beginning of the year which I haven't paid till now fearing retrogression and loosing the payment all together.

My PD is 09/17/2010 in F2A category.

Hope this clears the confusion.

Good day everyone.

Aamir

How silly you are! I don't think you will catch up the January interview schedule. You may wait a few more monthes, sorry to hear about that!

I'm an F2A petitioner. Thanks if you have any information!

Alright. I don't believe anyone from China has received the IL scheduled for January yet. The ones who posted here all from other countries.

Hi Guys,

First of all, this forum has given me a lot of information, and more importantly, precious support to each other amongst all who's praying for a re-union. Thank you!

I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with the following questions:

1. usually what time of the day do you receive i/l? is it from consulate offices or from nvc? until when do they stop sending appointment for the following month?

2. has anyone from orginal country China received any i/l for Jan. 2013? our pd is sept 1 and we've not heard anything yet. Getting nervous!

Thanks again and wish everyone a happy holiday reunion with their loved ones!

Are you a F2B filer or petitioner?

Hope to Oct. 1st, 2010!!!!

Is there anyone from this list received P4 recently??

PLEASE ADD ME, PD: 2010.9.30 NOA2: MARCH 2011 CASE COMPLETED:MAY 2011

add me, 2010.9

I suggest, if you are married to a USCitizen, that you look into HIM filing an I-130 for a CR-2 visa,

as

this type has immediate priority, no waiting on priority date.

Otherwise, YOU can file the I-130, but pay attention to the monthly visa bulletin, as it shows the 'scheduling'

for this 'type' of application. IIRC, it's less than 18 months now, from NOA-1 to NOA-2 date, on the I-130, then 'regular' time for NVC processing. The good news, since it's gonna go to Guangzhou, is that you can do NVC Electronic Processing at NVC, later - which will shave off 2 to 4 months of 'wait time' between NVC-out to Guangzhou-Open Casefile.

Good Luck !

Thanks.

I received my LPR a month ago. I would like to submit I-130 for my 10 years old child. Does anyone knows how long it will take? Is there any way I can apply a B1/B2 visa for her to come to U.S first?

That's good！Then you have no problem to renew your EAD within 90 days before it is expired.

My question is: Since both My I-485 and I-130 had been dennied, and we filed "Motion to re-open". In this situation, Can I renew my EAD or I-131(Authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the U.S)? Anybody knows about this issue and let me know earlier, which I will be very appreciate.

I never been denied on my AOS. In the infopass that we went to last january, the guy that we talk to said that my I-485 is fine, the only problem is my I-130 and that's the reason why I received NOID in the mail and fortunately, we provide the documents that we gather on time.. Now, we are just waiting.

That's good！Then you have no problem to renew your EAD within 90 days before it is expired.

Hello Everybody,

I have a question about EAD renewal for AWA Petitions.. I got my EAD last Oct. 2009 and it is valid till Oct. 2010.. My question is, Am i allowed to renew my EAD while my AOS still pending? Do i have to pay anything? IS there anyone who is in the same situation, AWA beneficiary and planning to renew their EAD? I just wanna know because I don't want to lose my job and my driver's license. Thank you in Advance.

I had my EAD renewed while my AOS was pending. I pretty sure you can renew yours too. My question is "Have you ever been denied on your AOS before and re-opened your case after that or not." Since I was dennied for my I-485 and I-130 application under AWA and my EAD will be expired in September too. I sent in "Motion to re-open and re-consideration" in March. Do I qualified to renew my EAD under this situation?

Do its need to sent Court records when u got police records?

Submit the full set of court records.

First and foremost, I want to thank the people that are on this site for providing valuable advice, hopefully someday I will do the same for others but now I am in need of advice...

I am a foreigner married to a US Citizen. She and I have been together for two years (pics to prove it) and have been married for six months. She has a daughter (not mine) from previous relationship..I love her to death (daughter)!!! She will 3 on april 2010. My wife has always dealt with depression, we met when I was in grad school and I have since tried to help her as best I can. After we got married things got really bad. She became very abusive physiologically and threatened to kill herself among other things (jump outta of a moving vehicle, hurt herself, hurt our daughter, etc etc) She has been in therapy for five years now and has been on a number of drugs, currently we go to therapy together (lithium is what she is on now). long story short I cant deal with her threats and bipolar issues anymore..I am the foreigner...i am on my conditional green card as of Jan 06,2010....

1) She needed a car, so I bought her a used car..(nothing fancy something that would take her from point A to point B)

2) she got fired, I pay for EVERYTHING (unemployment has not kicked in yet)

3) all therapy bills and meds are outta pocket ..my pocket

4) I raise her daughter like my own (her real father is a jerk)

5) She got fired I bought her a laptop so she could look for job, no luck since,,,apparently facebook is more important

6) Everyday she calls me 50 times to make sure I have not left her( I have told her I would if she keeps abusing me or her child)

7) Police have been called by myself twice because she threatened to kill herself and me( I have reports) and 911 calls, I have not filed charges because she would lose custody over her daughter which I love

8) her parents love me and help me with her but they can only do so much...they are on my side(I work for free for her dad on weekends)

9) her daycare saw her mistreat her child and filed a complaint (verbal police warning)

10) She was involved in a civil lawsuit cause she ran over an old lady because she was angry and drives like a maniac..case was dismissed..she got of easy

11) when we argue she threatens to hurt herself and blame me..I shut up and take it.....I fear what this will do to her daughter....

I have proof of all of the above and i have searched the forums and I cant seem to find the answers to these questions..

1) If I file for VAWA , do i still get to work in the US???

2) Can I file for VAWA with proof that I have (police reports, daycare complaints, shrink and therapy sessions??

3) If I get divorced can i file for a restraining order (she comes to my work often ..to check up on me...) even though my immigration status is conditional???

4) I am not allowed to leave the house alone, not even the supermarket....can I have an escort with police...?????

5) how long for VAWA to come into effect??? I have read somewhere here it takes 15 months!!!

6) I have spoken to an immigration attorney (ironically the guy who filed my paperwork) and he is confident I will win..is he just saying that???

7) I have heard of having her baker acted...if so what implications will this have on my Green card????

8) any advice would help......thank you

I read the PART D section (on this website's FAQS)of a waiver based on extreme cruelty but I dont know if I can get one????

Sorry to hear about this. I told my husband your situation just now. He said your wife atcs exactly as his ex-wife who is sufferring from depression and bipolar 30 years ago.

I know that there was a new immigration law act was passed not so long ago, from which you are qualified to apply by yourself by "I-751 Waiver". All you need to do is to prove you do have a bonafide marriage. So, don't worry. Good luck.

You are making a common mistake, assuming that SORNA & AWA are really about protecting children. The fact is that they are not. Neither is the Center for Missing & Exploited Children. It's really just politicians who have found an easy way to get voters behind them.

AWA & SORNA are both reactionary after the child has already been abused. Find one part of either that works towards prevention.

The Registries tell parents to be on the look-out for the stranger pervert hiding down the block but it's a fact that more than 90% of sex offenses against children are committed by "insiders" who are either family members, considered to be close trusted friends of the family or in some other position of trust within the child's life such as teacher or babysitter.

The Registry gives parents a false sense of security so they are more likely to let their guard down. While keeping an eye on the guy down the street who has never had any contact with their child they are overlooking the all of the adults in their child's life on a daily basis.

Bob,

Sorry for a Jackaroo here don't know how to edit the post. I agree with you said "It's really just politicians who have found an easy way to get voters behind them."

http://constitutionalfights.wordpress.com/...hes-white-house

Sorry to say,many of the registries were convicted dated back to decades ago, who poses no risk to society and no thread to re-offend but get stigma attached to him all his life long.

Obviously, the AWA is going so far!

The real criminal, they will violate the law by any way regardless whatever enforcement on them. The SORNA derived from AWA is a great waste of fund, which should used for cracking down on those real criminal but focuse on the routine. It is a shame!

I'll try to summarise our status.

My Chinese wife arrived in the US on a K1 in July 2009, we married two months later.

Our marriage hasn't gone well. She is very stubborn, and hasn't adjusted well. I'm not abusive, but I lose patience.

She is openly rude and disrespectful to me. She values the opinions of her chinese friends over mine, even with situations specific to our life.

'Why you pay this? My friend say you no need to pay this!!' (this about CAR insurance)

I'm often told I'm stupid, and don't know anything about life in America. (On the phone with chinese friends again)

I'm a middleaged man, college graduate, and other than a few years in the military, have lived here all my life.

Her language skills have not improved much, I thought she spoke OK english when we met. She makes no effort to READ english. She's in danger of being thrown out of the ESL classes she has been attending for over a year due to not observing the classroom rules and lack of basic courtesy.

I was totally honest with her about my finances, and life, in general when we met, and tried to assure she understood I had some debts to pay off. I mentioned this during out courtship, verbally.....in emails, etc. REPEATEDLY.

About the time she arrived in the US, the economy took a dump.....( can I blame her?) My work slowed, and eventually I was laid off my job.

We were arguing a bit before then. When I was laid off, she instructed me to move into the spare bedroom. ( I do snore) This was last june, and we have not slept together since then. I was without work for about a month and a half, which gave me more time at home.

I discovered she was chatting with men on Yahoo, and talking to them on her cell phone. Some as close as a few miles away, others a few hundred miles away.

Occasionally she would get rides home from shopping from somebody who dropped her off out of sight of our house.

I've got the cell phone records, and called several of the men who told me she claimed she was single.

Financially, we were struggling at this time.

I mentioned divorce. She claims she doesn't like me. She told me it wasn't fair to her, since we lived in a rented house......I did not own a house she could get half of.

The state we married in, and are residents of, has a one year separation period before divorce, or a one year abandonment provision.

I offered to pay her way back to China, and support her for a year.....at a monthly rate higher than she was earning when we met.

She said 'Not enough'.

She usually screened the incoming mail when it arrived. She handed me 'my mail'. I opened an envelope without looking. It was a bank statement for a secret bank account of hers, at a local bank. She has more savings than I do. (thousands)

A few weeks earlier I had helped her open up another bank account, with a smaller sum of 'her' money. As far as I knew, after 8 months of marriage, that was all she had.

I was still unemployed at this time, with a job interview looming. She wanted to visit a friend in another state. I was disgusted with her. I offered her a one way plane ticket, praying she wouldn't come back.

The new job I was interviewing for meant I had to travel a lot. I started it a few days after she left.

She came back on her own 2 weeks later, while I was gone.

Since then, things have been rockier. I like the lady, sometimes. I understand she is stubborn. I don't understand why she wants to continue to live with me if she thinks I'm so worthless......other than to stay in the US.

I make about 25% less at my current job, and have to be away from home up to 3 weeks at a time. She gets rides to school with a teacher or friend, and sometimes shopping. I know she is bored. She is still chatting with guys on the internet, and I found more strange phone numbers on our cell phone bill.

She also has a profile on a dating site...with a picture I took of her, and giving her age as 4 years younger. I made a screenshot of the profile I've kept.

She tells me she chats with guys because she is lonely, and they are just friends, and she is also trying to find american guys for her friends back in china. I told her to stop it. She hasn't.

I let her see anything on my laptop. i have nothing to hide. When i get near our home PC when she is on it, she is busy hiding things, closing windows, etc.

I don't trust her. She doesn't trust me. She thinks I have money hidden. (I don't)

I'm struggling to pay our bills,and some back debts.

I know she has friends who are telling her angles to work, in case I try to force a divorce. She keeps telling me 'you go out of town and no leave me money for food'. I do, cash, most of the time. I also set up a bank account with a small amount she could access with a debit card I gave her, and I could replenish from my bank account if I was stuck out of town. She has never used this money.

She also tells me she will lose face if she divorces, and has to go back to china. I'm sleeping on an air mattress in the spare bedroom, supporting an stubborn chinese woman who treats me with disdain. I don't care about her 'face'. I sure as hell don't have any.

I'm still pretty broke. I'm trying to summon enough savings to offer her a ticket back to china, and some cash, before we are supposed to apply for her ten year green card. I have no other plan, other than to not cooperate with the paperwork.

I feel sorry for her. She's a middleaged Chinese woman with no job or apartment to go back to, but I don't see her changing enough to make my life tolerable.

I almost think she is retarded at times, she's so stubborn. Then I realize it's a mixture of her lack of english skills, and her stubborness.

I have to explain the same things to her, every month. Next month she will claim I never told her about these things, and we start all over again.

She's also taken to investing some of her money in stocks, and has lost about 1/4 of it. When I found out about this secret money, she told me it was from her father. I don't want it. I want her to preserve it in case she needs it to live on...BACK IN CHINA. I'm afraid she'll lose it all.

I don't mean to make this sound like she is totally evil. She is dishonest at times. A 'no go' for me, or at least has a different interpretation of honesty.

I'm not perfect. I'm fat, and broke, but I'm working 7 days a week to try to keep us afloat.

My family is disgusted with her. They advise me to get an attorney, and even offered to lend me the money to send her home, if she will go.

What other options do I have?

Hello clueless55,

As a Chinese, I am so sorry to hear about your marriage problems with another Chinese lady. I want to say something to help you guys out, but not for an excuse for her. Please trust me.

Concerning the "stubborn", I think you should think in a different way. The two of you grew up in different world, different culture. You are still in the culture in which you were raised and she is trying to adjust to the new life and new culture. It is hard to say who is "stuborn". This is the period for you two to adjust to each other. Even though you married a local woman, it still need time for the couple to adjust. Say nothing of such a great change for your wife.

Concerning her word "stupid", just another way she showed the different way of thinking and doing things she learned in China. Sometimes it doesn't mean no respect to you. If you don't think she is right then try to explain to her why. I agree with you that she needs time to better understand U.S life and culture, but it does need time. I always mention to my husband that he is so stubborn. However, we both need change so that we can get along well with each other. I would like to give my Chinese friends some right advice when I hear from them complaining that "my husband is so stupid". I alway tell them, try to think in a defferent way, they are American and grew up from here, you should adjust to him etc. I am glad to see it works all the time.

Concerning respect, I want to say, respect goes two ways. My husband and I never bother to find out whom we contacted with or how much in each others account. We should totally trust and honest to each other. When she said her friend etc, just tell her you are living together with me, you should trust me.

I really understand why you wife spent too much time on line. To be frankyly, the life here is really boring. Since we have already left everything behind and started a totally different life in a different world now. If don't speak out and communicate with others, there will be even more depressed. I believe you don't want to take your wife to see a psycologist, right.

You mentioned she came here in July 2009 and later mentioned "last June", there must something wrong. Anyway, you tell her it is not right for the husband to live separately from his wife. If you don't want to sleep together with me then we should get divorced. I am not sure what kind of character she is. If you tried, and still nothing works good between you two then that is the time for you to get divorced. Good luck!

To those who has the hatred for sex offenders,

I agree with you that the recidivists should be punished, I believe such kind of recidivists will be locked in prison for ever. That is the society issue. In fact, 85% of sex offenders are rehabilitabable. Everyone may make mistake in ones life. Are you sure you have not done anything wrong in your life? Please speak according to objective appraisal, don't influenced by emotions or personal prejudices.

Hey Rachel,You must feel like sackless after such a long time waiting, right? Congradulations!!!

My husband is a convicted sex offender too. I have a question concerning on our case, please help us out by answering my question if you could.

We received the NOID letter from USCIS in October. However, before they make the final decision, they ask we submit the evidence to show my husband "pose no risk to both me and my daughter". My husband went to see a psychologist and did sevral test including the polygraph test. However, the doctor say they can not issue any absolutely positive report to mention he has no risk since they can not do this to anyone. Could you tell me how you did on your case to show you have no risk to your wife. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
