(The Sun) - A 72-year-old American grandmother is having an incestuous affair with her own grandson and the pair are set to have a baby, The Sun reported Friday.

Pearl Carter, from Indiana, shocked family and friends after beginning a bizarre relationship with her 26-year-old grandchild Phil Bailey.

She is now using her pension to pay $54,000 to a surrogate mother so they can have a child, said reports in Australia's New Idea magazine.

"I'm not interested in anyone else's opinion. I am in love with Phil and he's in love with me," Carter said. "Soon I'll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad."

Bailey is the son of Pearl's daughter Lynette Bailey -- who the senior citizen put up for adoption when she was just 18.

When Lynette Bailey died in 2006, Phil Bailey tracked down his long-lost grandma -- 46 years his senior -- and they started their strange relationship.

"From the first moment that I saw him, I knew we would never have a grandmother-grandson relationship. For the first time in years I felt sexually alive," said Carter.

Bailey claimed he had the same feelings.

"I wanted to kiss her there and then. My feelings were overwhelming," he said.

"I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I'm going to be a dad and I can't wait.

"Yes, we get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public but we don't care. You can't help who you fall for."

And to think, there are actually people think it´s ¨weird¨ we want to marry ¨foreigners¨....???

The petitioner's household size is always a minimum of 2, whether they qualify or not. It doesn't matter though because you don't state household size on the I-134. It is calculated based on the answers to specific questions on the affidavit. In this case the Conoff will calculate both as two.

In 1. above you are thinking of the I-864 where you don't count anybody twice but the intending immigrant plus the petitioner is always counted on any affidavit of support, at minimum.

Thanks for clearing that up. However, do we both need to state that we intend to furnish room and board? And is it three years or five? Can you just say, until necessary or until he finds a job?

This is the website for the solicitud de tarjeta de estudiante. I hope you can read Spanish!!

,

A student visa is not the same as residency. You must apply for residency, and the only way you can apply in your case is with a visa for over 180 days of studies. If you have less than 180 days you cannot apply for residency- unless they have changed the rules in the last year.

I had my student residency in Spain in 2008. You have to have in your passport a visa for over 180 days of study, proof of your enrollment at university and payment of all fees, and proof of funds for living expenses while there. Next, you go to the comisaría de policia and apply for a NIE (Numero de Identificacion de Extranjeros) I applied for mine in November and didn´t get it until February. It is usually good up till the last month of your studies. You must file for this BEFORE the three month expiration on your student visa. You´ll probably have to wait in a long line- get there early in the morning, and you´ll probably have to go there several times. You´ll need to pay a ¨taza¨ which is a fee in a bank branch. You just bring the bank the info and pay the fee. And you´ll have to get fingerprinted when it gets approved.

I´ve attached a file of what mine looked like. It is no longer valid, but I submitted this with paperwork as proof of being in Spain for my K-1 visa. I knew I would need it back in 2008.

I am sorry, you are right, you list your income. I apologize. When I wrote my statement, I remembered you wrote you are looking for a full-time job so I was thinking you are unemployed. I just went back and re-read your post. Yes, you have income from the part-time jobs, that is OK to put on the I-134.

One more thing I do not think anyone has mentioned yet. In order for your roommate to be a joint sponsor she must be a US Citizen, US National or a LPR (Legal Permanent Resident). OK?

She is a USC. Neither of us have dependents. For household size, who puts what? Do I add two, since I am the fiancee and primary sponsor? Could I add my fiance under mine?

Also, what about the last line about making specific contributions such as room and board. My room mate checked no, I checked yes. I put on mine that I would be providing room and board and all living expenses up to three years or upon receipt of EAD and first pay check from job, from which point living expenses shall be shared jointly. Does that sound ok or is that insufficient? I´m getting alot of ####### from people about me being the woman and supporting a man, which I have to agree I don´t like the sound of too much, but I want this to be legit at the consulate.

We still haven´t gotten them notarized yet since we are waiting to hear. Thanks for the replies.

I am keeping my fingers crossed and wishing everyone speedy touches and NOA2's.

Was not going into this weekend thinking and hoping NVC got our package so I decided to give them a call. Package received by NVC yesterday so hopeful we will have a DHL tracking number by monday.

I hope you all "try" to get some rest in one way or another.

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe for yourself and your loved ones.

I´m still so pumped for you, that is so great you got your NOA2!!! Can anyone tell me where I can find an exhaustive list of all of the things we need to send to the consulate? And, for the shot fiance, where can I find a list of all the vaccines my fiance needs to take so that we can get that rolling? Thanks!

That sounds amazing. I hope you do get your visa soon.

Actually I met my fiance in Spain while I was living there, and we lived there about two years together. He has residency there and we were going to do family immigration for me in Spain, but thought it would be better in the US with the economy in Spain being down the toilet and all.

The cost of living in Southern Spain is actually not bad, but that´s only if you have steady income (he is a small business owner). I miss it and wish I could go back...

Yes, he is right. In this instance, your roommate will be better on paper (I-134) because she can sponsor your fiance and you cannot. They will not know anything about the NSFs, low credit scores nor possible government assistance such as housing assistance or food stamps.

You will need two complete and separate I-134s. You will have your listing a family size of 1 and no income. Your roommate's I-134 will list her plus your fiance because she will be sponsoring him.

Good luck

Why would I list my income as zero? I make very close to the amount required and with my assets I should be ok- but just in case, I have a co-sponsor.

Wow. I´m glad they made him take it off. That´s just distasteful.

My roommate offered to co-sponsor my fiance and it was very sweet of her.

Usually, I have everything very together, but I just moved back from overseas. I am currently seeking full time work, but have several part time jobs, which make me borderline for the I-134.

She gathered up all the necessary supporting documentation and turned them into me. I have to commend her on how well she did with getting that in to me. She threw her head back and laughed when she turned in the bank letter stating $11 as the current balance and $20 as the average yearly balance.

My roommate often jokes about how bad her credit score is or how many NSFs she´s gotten, etc. She is very young and has very different ideas about managing money and being responsible- she asked me why I hadn´t gotten on food stamps.

She makes over $20,000 a year, but I feel that, were I the consular officer, she would not be a good co-sponsor.

Also, I am not sure if she has been on food stamps or any gov. assistance. I think I read that it will make you inelegible. Is that true?

I have over $6000 on deposit in the bank and have about $10,000 in other assets. I also have a college degree and have a credit score in the high 700s. Although I am borderline on income for now, I feel that I would probably look alot better on paper to the consulate than my co-sponsor and that her I-134 may work against me. Would I do best to not submit her I-134?

Does anyone have any advice?

Chose iridium because it's atomic number is 77 - we got married on 07/07, seemed elemental.

OK, was reading about platinum and it was the next one over...

That´s cute... you guys are certainly elemental and I can tell you´ve got chemistry!!!

I keep reading from several posts about people taking extended trips to be with their fiance while the visa is being processed. How do you do this and still be able to sponsor your fiance for the I-134? Is this really risky? I miss mine and would love to go see him. How do you guys do this?

I would recommend going through Spain. My Moroccan fiance and I both lived in Spain for three years. It would be great to know what city is your destination. If you wanted Tanger, Ceuta, Melilla, Tetuan or any other northern city, I would recommend flying into Spain, then going by the ¨lancha rapida¨ from Algeciras, Spain into Tanger which takes about an hour and costs about $100 bucks. If you want to get to Casablanca or the south, you would do best to fly into Madrid (I´ve flown into Madrid from the US nearly a dozen times and never spent more than $800RT and lowest $420RT) then take Ryan Air into Morocco. RyanAir flight can be ridiculously cheap- I´ve flown several times with them for less than 25€, but be sure to read any fine print with them. Ryanair.com will have the flight info for you. Hope this helps.

Here's the VJ-Wiki on it.

Cool. So you being an ¨Iridium Member¨ is pretty high up there...neat. Thanks!

By the way, what exactly is ¨Iridium¨?

I am so happy.

Last night I logged in as I always do every day to my greatest surprise it was still reading 02/04/10.

Then this morning I saw that it was approved yesterday 04/27/10.

So I expect the hardcopy by friday or latest next weeek.

I will keep you all posted, GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE.

February is moving on!!!!!

That´s awesome! We filed Feb 11 and got NOA1 on Feb 16. Hopefully it will be our turn soon. Good luck to all!

I know there was some talk in December 09 about possibly bumping up the fee to $350, but I have not seen that approved. For now, it looks like $131.

How does the status thing on here work? I know there´s diamond, platinum, gold, etc. but how is that calculated? Length of membership, contributions to posts, how often you sign in?

I put my fiance´s address in the Spanish format. I even did the C/ for Calle and the Nº and the degree sign for 3º. I think this is for mailing purposes so that they can get in touch with your fiance through Correos, who would be able to read the format.

I have been wanting to find the answer to this for such a long time and am very curious...

Does the visa center and/or consulate take couples who have met in person more seriously than couples who have met online? Do such couples have more advantage over internet couples? Is there any proof to support this? Would it be discrimination to give priority to couples who have met face to face on initial contact, lived together or in the same country for over a year, etc?

I would love to know. Thanks in advance.

Opinions are appreciated, but I´m really looking for evidence or facts.

I hope this doesn´t offend anyone- that´s not my intention, just looking for answers.

I hope something works out for you. We may want to bring Anouar´s little brother from Morocco also. Let me know how everything goes. Wish I could be more help.

When I say that ¨I´ve heard it´s not required to have to I-134¨ I mean that I have read several interview reviews that say they never even asked for the I-134 or that it was simply recommended to have one with you ¨just in case¨.

I have asked several family members to co-sponsor with no success. Any suggestions on how to ¨find¨ a co-sponsor?

Hi everyone,

I´m stressing out about the affidavit of support. I cannot find a co-sponsor. I am planning on taking a two month course over the summer to get my teacher certification and begin teaching on a full salaray in the fall. This means I could not work over the summer which is when my NOA2 is expected to arrive and petition to consulate. I want to send the email below to the consulate, but I wanted some advice on it- I don´t want to say anything that may come across the wrong way and possibly risk a visa denial.

To whom it may concern:

I am a US citizen who wants to bring my foreign fiancé to the US from Spain. I have been researching the K-1 visa and have heard some conflicting information regarding consular requirements. Some sources state that the I-134 is not required, but rather the I-864 that is filed upon Adjustment of Status is required.

I would like to know because I am considering changing professions. A recent college graduate, I studied three semesters in Granada (where I met my fiancé) and am fluent in Spanish, an in-demand skill in my profession which provides more job security. Although I am currently employed, I am exploring the possibility of taking a two month professional development course for an upcoming job opening that would exponentially increase my current earnings. Because I have money in my savings account, I can afford to work part time while I study, however I feel that submitting an I-134 would limit me, in that it would not allow me to work part time in order focus on developing my career, therefore expanding my earning potential in the long run.

I have several thousand dollars in my savings account and have a $12,000 line of credit open on one credit card alone, whose balance I pay off every month. I also have excellent credit and am very responsible with my money. Neither myself nor anyone in my family has ever received government assistance or public housing. I would never allow for my fiancé to become a public charge.

My fiancé himself has an excellent work ethic and would not be a burden on society. Here in the US I have already spoken with several small business owners, with whom I have connections, willing to hire him when he arrives in the United States. We are both young, 24 and 26, and are motivated and hard-working. We have not seen each other since January 14, 2010 and only want to be back together again. Please contact me in regards to the I-134. Thank you
