Haha. At least I made an impression

I was deeply insulted by the comment about why the poster married a white guy. It's demeaning as a woman, more so, as someone who is from my own country. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against marrying outside ones race. But I feel "improvement of genes" is a lame, if not downright absurd reason to marry outside your race. Aren't you happy with your own? Besides, race does not dictate the quality of one's genetic make up? Was she trying to say Filipinos are genetically ugly?

My belief is, people can be beautiful, regardless of race. I will be the first to say this, in a way, I understand the poster who said that because the media in the Philippines has such a limited, cookie cutter definition of beauty and I think it's sad and in that regard, the mainstream media in the Philippines just has to grow up. Then again, you can't define yourself with what media has spoon fed to you can you?

i agree with you. its not the color or race that makes a person beautiful but what is coming out of him or her. beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. we filipinas should be proud of our color, race and nationality. its our inner beauty that our partners love.

filipinas dont get married just to have beautiful babies.

please consult an ob-gyne to be educated about genes.

My wife and I received our Cambodia issued marriage license in 2007. For the next 2 years I provided spousal support

for her while waiting for her to receive her visa. After she received her visa from the consulate, she slept with her boyfriend and arrived in May 2009 to the United States pregnant. Unaware of her adultry, I married her again 3 days after after her arrival to U.S.A. She gave Birth to her boyfriends baby yesterday and I'm seeking an Annulment for marriage fruad and release of any I-864 liability and her immediate deportation as my I-864 AOS does not include supporting her and her boyfriends child. What are my chances to have a successful annulment? Am I on the hook

delivery cost of her boyfriends baby?

Fraud is punishable by law. You have a good chance to file a divorce and send her back to her country. For humanitarian reason, you may shoulder her delivery cost expenses. If you can find his boyfriend, you can inform him about the delivery of their baby and ask to send money for her expenses. Negative DNA test result is a substantial evidence to prove your claim regarding her dishonesty. You have a good chance of winning the case.

I had an arranged legal marriage back on November 28th of 2008. I petitioned for my wife under the K-3 process and she was here in June of 2009. I want to get a divorce or annulment because I do not wish to conitnue my life with this terrible person. I live in California and I am not to sure about the rules here but let me tell you all what she has so far. She has her green card and she doesn't work, go to school, anything!!! She is a public charge and a complete pain!! What can I do to make this go easy without court and lawyers?? Can I withdraw from the affidavit of support? Is it too late? She also never disclosed to me that her mother is mentally ill, just that she is "depressed". I don't know if there is a law in California that constitutes any rights against that because that was never disclosed to me nor my family. I need help please!!

As far as I know, the beneficiary is not entitled for a green card if the marriage is less than 2 years. What she or he will get is a temporary green card after her AOS is approved. She has has to file 90 days before the marriage reaches 2 years to remove the condition. You can still revoke her green card if you are not married for 2 years. When she has no green card, she has to leave U.S. soon because she has no visa.

In the Philippines, the only ground for annulment is psychological incapacity. If she is psychological incapacitated or has psychiatric problem, it could be a strong ground for a divorce in your country since this problem is deep seated and beyond cure, thus no marital relation could exceed could ever exist.

Being a complete pain to you may not be a ground because you married her for better or for worse.

Act now. Look for a remedy now before you ran out of time.

Maybe someday you can find someone whom you can share rainbows.

when my ex cheated me, i did not give him a second chance. i can forgive but not forget. if he did it once, he can do it again. his infidelity is a sign of falling out love to me. if he loves me, he will respect me and will not hurt me in anyway. damage is already done and can never be undone. balance your mind and heart and not just follow your heart. feelings can deceive you. forgiving is a virtue but being blind is stupidity. true love waits for tomorrow. i would rather be broken now than later so i can start moving on to the next chapter of my tiny life. someone deserves your love who will be with you thru thick and thin.

We kind of got the worst of both worlds here - we had to wait longer @ the service center because we had to do 2 petitions...now we'll be at NVC longer because of assembling all of the paperwork/paying the fees, etc...

I took all original documents with me on my trip to England, thinking hubby would need them for his interview...now I need them back so they'll be ready go to when NVC gets our case...

But, you know, ultimately, I think I'm rather okay with this...

My husband and I have original documents. I requested 2 authenticated birth certificates, marriage certificates and annulment papers. I sent one copy to him and photocopy. We accomplished 3 sets of I-130, 1-129F and G-325. One set sent to USCIS and the other sets to us. Whatever original document we cant have, we photocopy it so have it. What I am waiting for him to send me is NOA2 and affidavit of support.

I told my husband to stop looking at the updates. He will receive email or text message from USCIS. We cant help it. The moment we are at the computer, we still look at the updates. Its the longest wait I ever had. I know our time is becoming shorter as we wait for our NOA2. One day without news is one day shorter for approval.

Just make sure that if you end up doing cr1, you won't have the interview until you send all the documents to the NVC. Only after that they will set the interview date at your embassy. I advice you to get "plan B" ready as well!

Check the documents you need to send to NVC if that would be the case. For example the affidavit is not I-134, it's the I-864 instead.

I have prepared documents listed here and what our embassy requires. What is pending is my local police clearance that expires every 30 days and the affidavit of support. My husband has already gathered his papers for support. He has prepared both affidavit of support. He will send to me which will be required by my embassy and NOA2. I still prefer k3 visa so I can take my son with me who will turn 21 years old on July 2010.

Hello, I am going through this process now. My I130 was entered into NVC a day before the I129F. I called and spoke to a customer service person in the K3 department and she said they were entering the information in their system and sending it off t the consulate. I asked her what about the I130? She said once I receive any papers from them about the I130 I would call them and let them know I want to go K3. I am not sure if she missed the new rules or since my petitions were not entered into the system the same day it does not apply to me but, there are 3 children involved so I hope what she said was correct. No I did not file I130's for the kids because my lawyer said I didn't have to. Wish I knew then what I know now. If anyone has some more information on this new rule change I would love to hear it.

My son is 20 years old and will turn 21 on July 2010. I want him to go with me thru k4 visa as my derivative. CR1 is more advantageous than k3. It cost less and can enjoy the benefit of being a green card holder. I was advised here by our embassy to file I-130 for him. My husband called USCIS. He defined a stepson who is 18 years at the time we got married. We agreed that as soon as I get my k3 and his k4, he will file his I-130 so he can adjust his status. Once I adjust my status, his k4 dies also. I am sad to hear if NVC will process my CR1 instead of my K3. It takes 5 years to petition my children. I hope that we will be given a choice which visa we preferred.

Wow!

I wonder...will this affect our wait time...'cause the whole POINT was to get him here faster!!

You are only one day ahead of us. I am waiting till end of the month to receive our NOA2. It will be our fourth month waiting. While waiting we have already prepared documents needed to present to my embassy for my interview. In that case I will not be under pressured. I have 2 sets of folders, one original and the other photocopy.
