Hey guys
so I couldn't wait until my July 3rd scheduled appointment so on my way to work decided to drop by the ACS center in Oxnard this morning; the whole experience was very pleasant and lasted a little under 10 minutes
They didn't care I came in almost two weeks before my scheduled appointment,got me in without any fuss;
I can't tell if it makes any difference to do a walk in vs waiting for your appointment from reading other postings ; I actually wonder if the overall timeliness of the application has a lot more to do with how quickly you get a biometrics appointment scheduled because it correlates with how many applicants are ahead of you.....
Any thoughts?

Isn't always exciting to see things are moving along? lol I can't wait to get this all over and done with.

Please add Bio dates of July 3rd to AmandaJW, JohnW JackW HarryW
(Also my priority date of June 3rd)
Thank you

your list of proofs looks great. As for the rental agreement, you can have your in-laws write a simple letter explaining that you are living with them. Make sure to include the date you moved in and why are you living with them. I don't think it needs to be anything fancy. I have seen some plp download a sample lease from google and then just change the names and have both u guys and ur in-laws sign it.

Good afternoon all. Hope we are doing well and ready for yet another awesome endeavor I'm preparing to send off tomorrow. If I can find my checkbook that is

My wife is 21 years older than me. She was naturalized a US Citizen through her parents many years ago... it will definitely be a very BIG red flag. They will 90% put you under Administrative Processing or deny your Visa, before apply for a green card, spend a lot of time with your wife, take pictures, build a very strong case like posted before. This aint no joke.

I would tell them the nature of my job, but not the details. Telling your spouse that you work for the CIA/ FBI/ military intelligence is not going to endanger their safety. Telling them you are looking into the drug smuggling activities of Mr John Doe who works at X company, or that you need to travel to X country to do undercover work for a month might.

You file a concurrent AOS like you did for yourself for your mom.

hey guys, Im getting my paper-work together so it might be off in a couple of days or weeks

The Justice Department maintains a list of pro bono (free) legal providers in every state. You can find this list here: http://www.justice.gov/eoir/probono/states.htm
Hopefully there is one near you that you can contact. It sounds as if you might have a possible VAWA case.

Well - if your wife does not go, you will be denied. But if you have been separated for last 9 years, trying to adjust the status based on marriage is pure fraud anyway.

Hi all... I'll be a few weeks late this time. School and work are kicking my behind but it should be ok once I pay my state taxes

Here is the iOS (ipad, iphone etc) version; https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/us-citizenship-2013/id422709270?mt=8
There are plenty of other to choose from on itunes as well.
i'll be filing in May so will be starting a similar thread soon!
/wave @ Vanessa

Um wow. well technically you ARE still MARRIED so you cannot file anything for anyone else until your divorce is final... And no mean to pry but why are you two still living together if both if you are cheating? What is the point? And if you are still "living together" and you have three weeks left to do his paperwork, why are you questioning helping him?
My thing is if you wanted nothing to do with him, he'd been moved out. He can get his own job or apt and you bein extra nice and caring wont get him to leave- but that is just my opinion.

Okay friends, I'm leaving this forum and officially joining my last VisaJourney forum for my wife N400 February 2013. Thanks to all those that have been "family" since April 2009 when our journey began with a K1.

Have you found Bush's baked beans? Here's their site: http://www.bushbeans.com/en_US/products/baked_beans/ They don't taste bad, I just miss regular baked beans They sell them at all grocery stores. We shop at Wal-mart.

My wife is very weird and strange. She also think I am strange for things I do. I would trade her in but feel the next one may be even more odd so just figure on keeping this one and hope to survive.

This is some great background expectations for the OP however I would take a lot of this with a large grain of salt...
Relationships are a two-way street. Even though there can be some very embedded cultural expectations by one party or the other, it is neither fair or practical to take either person involved and have them adjust completely into the other's expectations.
A simple example, the OP most likely has a job outside of the home and it appears they are taking the K1 route. It is not practical to think that her man will come over here and while waiting for his AOS not help out around the house. She will also be going through an adjustment period. Nevermind that short of him being able to provide financially and her being able to leave whatever job she has, he should be able to pick up a broom or wash a dish...having the OP on the hook for their financial needs, cooking, cleaning, kids, and taking care of him solely during AOS or until he can find a job is going to lead to resentment and burn out.
This is where open communication is a complete and total must. A lot of this type of thing is a work-in-progress also. There won't be any easy answers from the get-go. What seems like ration thought [hey - I know - we'll do a chore list and then everything will be ok!] can blow up in your face. So, you dust yourselves off and start again. Marriage, in general, is not for the faint of heart or lazy. Mixing two cultures just makes it all the more challenging.
I married a man whose cooking ability revolves around making tea and ramen noodles - things happened and now he can cook a handful of things. But, there was a time when I was working 15+ hour a day on nightshift and he got mouthy about not having lunch made for him. He was still awaiting AOS and not working. That didn't go down well with me given my cultural expectations [namely, he isn't mentally or physically disabled - therefore he can make a freaking sandwich!!!!]. My frustration was probably on par with his frustration; that it was lunch time and there was no food ready because at home his momma would have had his lunch ready for him. He now has the abilities to cook/reheat/feed himself and honestly, I think he likes it to some extent [more choice and making things for himself the way he likes it].
Another communication talking point is whether or not he really gets he is marrying someone who is culturally American and what that means. There will be compromise [like making your own sandwich]. If he hasn't picked up a broom or has never done laundry - there needs to be some discussion about that. I used to call my husband when I was at the laundromat before his came over on his K1 so he could get a sense of the time involved. Again, your lives together, especially during AOS, shouldn't be about your SO looking at jobs online and making some phone calls while being waited on hand and foot [unless that is what YOU want to do and have agreed to doing].

i'm personally bothered because tons of people have and use guns in my own community and there are plenty that are trigger happy. and racist.
i have brown people in my family and considering they're normally the ones who end up dead in these sorts of scenarios i worry about them, especially my teenaged cousins.
when i read an article like this my reaction isn't "take the guns, let the good honest caring government take all the guns. please i'm scared, make it better obama", my reaction is "some people are not stable enough to maintain proper use of a firearm and shouldn't have the capability to snuff a life in a matter of seconds due to improper judgement/paranoia"

You sound like a complete idiot.

Yes, rolling down a window to apologize for doing something harmless like turning into the wrong driveway is definitely punishable by death.
Victim blaming in stories like this is so bizarre, it makes me worry for your sanity.

The phrase is "train of thought", not "trend of thought". As a British person I am the ultimate arbiter of colloquialisms, spelling and grammar. I am glad we got that straightened out.
You may now proceed with your regularly-scheduled bickering.

My husband does all sorts of odd things:
1) He puts hot sauce on everything he eats
2) He eats the food on his plate from left to right, complimentary flavors or not
3) He won't wake up if an earthquake goes through the bedroom, however the doorbell rings once and he's up and alert
4) He's good at driving but terrible at parking
5) His favorite movies are of the bad, terrible, extremely awful b-movie kind
The odd thing? He's the USC
