    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    As payxibka said, if she's still your fiancee then she isn't eligible to adjust status. :blush:

    Your fiancee's visa expired the day she entered the US. What is going to expire on June 10th is her I-94. As long as you were married within 90 days of her arrival then you don't have anything to worry about. She is eligible to adjust status based on the marriage regardless of whether the I-94 is expired or not. Some people have waited months or even years after the I-94 expired before sending the AOS petition, and still got a green card without any problems. Relax.

    Technically, if you don't have the NOA1 from the AOS petition by the time the I-94 expires then she will be out of status. The worst that is likely to happen as a result of this is that you would some additional explaining to do in the unlikely event you had an encounter with immigration officials.

    Still giving out that great advice I see :thumbs: God bless!

    CR-1 VISA JOURNEY COMPLETED !!!!!!

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Dear All,

    I am very happy to inform you that our immigrant visa application (CR-1)was granted yesterday (April 13th).....I reached consulate at 7:15 AM and joined the long queue for 8 AM interview (I was lagging by some 50 person...).By 7:30 they started permitting one by one. I noticed following checks by security at Chennai :

    1. Cell phones,electronic items,CD's,sealed envelopes are strictly prohibited.Even the greeting cards I brought were checked and stamped by security.

    2. Pls take transparent carrybags.

    3. No need to carry xray film .They require only the medical report.

    By 7:50 AM, I was directed by an officer and asked to seat in front of counter 9. There were around 12 person for IV interview. I was called by an Indian lady CO at 8:35 AM at counter 9. She asked the following :

    1. Wife's place in US,and what she does

    2. I didnt added her name in my passport.Lady CO poined out that .

    3. She asked for some loose photographs of wedding and then asked to show the same in my wedding album.She was convinced.

    4. I carried W2 forms of 2009 but no one asked to produce it...

    5. Then asked for marriage certficate from the Church and fortunately I had it...She asked the name of Vicar who conducted the marriage...

    6. Asked me to write in malayalam (my mother tongue) in DS 230 forms (Qn 3,38) and to sign in part 2 of DS230...

    ALL CO's IN CHENNAI USC ARE PROFFICIENT IN SOUTH INDIAN LANGUAGES AND HINDI...

    Then she gave me a pink slip and asked to wait until called again.Her interview took around 15 minutes. :thumbs:

    By 9 AM I was called in counter 11 to take the finger print outs.

    Atlast at 10:20 AM I was called by the American CO at the same counter (9). He was young,very polite and calm unlike other rude American lady in the next counter. He asked me simple questions

    1. What are you doing and what do you plan in America for a living

    2. How I met wife .

    3. When will she graduate

    4. Asked if everything written on DS230 is true or not..

    Then he told "Gentleman, your visa application is granted and you will receive passport and Visa document in one week time"- the moment for which we waited for so long...... :dance:

    My advices:

    1. When you answer ,pls look into the eyes of the officers and start answering with a smile.

    2. Never lie ( I saw others being caught and given blue slips for insufficient documents ) for anything.

    3. Be confident, they are asking questions on the basis of documents submitted by you only...

    WE THANK THE ENTIRE VISAJOURNEY FAMILY FOR ALL THE SUPPORT,HELP AND PRAYERS SHOWERED FOR US......WE WISH ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE AND HOPES TO SEE A HAPPY END FOR YOUR VISAJOURNEY.....THANX AGAIN AND WILL REMEMBER YOU ALL IN OUR PRAYERS.....

    (L) With Luv,

    AMY & ABY

    Congratulations To God be the Glory Forever! Enjoy each other..allow nothing to come between your love...

    visa approved!

    My fiancee is from Kenya. We got approved for K-1 visa, Vermont Service Center. Filed late October, got approved in February, she went for her interview last week, was told to come back today with more evidence.

    Good news at last!

    Late last night my fiancée called to tell me that she received a phone call from the Consulate informing her that our K1 Visa petition which has been in AP since our interview on March 4th of this year has been approved…I could not sleep the entire night and before going to work I checked my email and there was a message from the Consulate saying that our visa has been approved…we still cannot believe it…but we are optimist that this long journey is coming to a happy ending. It has taken us almost three years – an interview, the denial, getting our petition re-affirmed, another interview and then the AP status…along the way many heartbreaks and but never giving up…Praise God from whom all blessing come!!!

    Thanks to all on VJ who helped us with timely advice and encouragement through out the years.

    Hello, I wrote something three years ago http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/82083-feeling-awful/page__p__1104627__fromsearch__1entry1104627 and I can tell you that things have been weird since then. My husband has weird mood swings, moments when he feels happy with me and the next moment he doesnt want to talk or watch our baby. Two days ago something happened, I had migraine and he had promised me he'd load the machine, he was in the kitchen, i went there with my baby in arms and I only told him "I thought you were going to help me with the dishes, baby" then suddenly he yells "I didnt, so what???" and he started yapping at me at how a friend had called him (to talk politics) and he had to be available because his "effing friend" needed him and his "effing" friend is a lawyer and would get him out of any "effing" problem, and said something like his friends were first and not our daughter, he said he's a good friend not a hypocrite like me, and that's when I hit him, he even had the chance to block me a bit, and the next thing I knew, my head was on the counter and he was punching me, on my face once, and once on my head. I don't know how I got to the bedroom and he pushed the door and told me I was lucky I had the baby in my arms because then I'd know who he really is. He kept telling me that I hit him and he never thought I'd do that.

    My dear VJ friends, I've been emotionally and verbally abused by him for 3 years, have had him yelling at me for no reason, I've asked him many times to go to counseling and he says he has no problem, that if I think I have a problem, then I should go. I got desperate and called the police, they came and gave us a warning. He keeps acting like he's the victim, and I know he is too, but I've been victim for 3 yrs and just couldnt deal with it anymore. I do love him and that's why I've been suggesting the counseling, but he doesnt even want to talk, he says he's still in shock because someone who loves you doesnt call the cops on you. I told the police I was running out of resources to put pressure on him to go to counseling, thats all I wanted.

    I made an appointment and will see a specialist next week. I'm still hurt physically and confused and very hurt emotionally too. I didn't come to this country for this, I thought I'd have a happy life with the man I loved, I never thought he'd be yelling at me and changing mood every week. Please keep us in your prayers.

    I WENT BACK AND READ YOUR POST FROM THREE YEARS AGO. GET OUT! STOP HAVING SEX WITH HIM PERIOD! ABSOLUTELY NO SEX! MEN LIKE YOUR HUSBAND THINK EVERYTHING IS OKAY AS LONG AS YOU KEEP HAVING SEX WITH HIM. YOU CANNOT...CANNOT LET HIM BELIEVE AND THINK HE CAN BASH YOUR HEAD AND THEN HAVE SEX WITH YOU. YES WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SUBMISSIVE TO OUR HUSBANDS AND LOVE THEM, BUT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LOVE US AND NOT TREAT US HARSHLY...READ THE BIBLE BOOK OF EPHESIANS IF YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW YOUR HUSBAND SHOULD TREAT YOU. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAN YOUR EXIT. IT MAY TAKE A MONTH, TWO MONTHS OR SIX TO LEAVE BUT MAKE SURE WHEN YOU GO THAT YOUR MIND IS MADE UP AND YOU ARE NOT TURNING BACK. IF YOU STILL LOVE HIM AND WANT TO BE WITH HIM YOU PROBABLY WONT LEAVE EVEN AFTER THREE YEARS OF ABUSE..HITTING IS NOT THE ONLY FORM OF ABUSE...VERBALLY YELLING, EMOTIONALLY ABUSE, ARE ALL FORMS OF ABUSE. MAKE UP YOUR MIND AS TO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU DAUGHTER NOT YOU OR YOUR HUSBAND!

    There may be financial reasons that are holding you there with this husband as well as love. Your child is in danger, you are in danger. Had that child not been in your arms you might be dead right now. He has already told you that you have not seen "who he really is" I suspect he really is a monster. He's slammed your head and punched you in the head knowing you had a migraine. Trust me deep down he feels you wont leave. Inside he is positive you won't leave. If you have made any friends in the three years I suggest you leave while he is at work or out with friends never giving him any idea you are leaving don't even talk about it. Be about it. When he leaves pack up at least 2-3 weeks worth of clothes for you and baby, grab some cash so you will be fine. I am suspecting he controls the money though. You are a woman you know how to be sweet to get what you need from your husband. You need just 2-3 weeks to clear your mind and really decide what you need to do. When you are in the situation you are surrounded by him and his needs, wants and feelings. Away from him you can think about you and your baby and your needs. I'm not telling you to divorce....however am telling you to be smart. If he thinks you are not coming back I guarantee he will do anything to get you back and that means going to counseling. If you are serious about the counseling you cant start feeling bad for him when he's begging you to come back. You have to stand firm. Make him to make the counseling session appointment don't come back until you at least attend 1 session. remember Greater is he who is in you that he who is in the world. If God be for you who can be against you. Bye the way he does sound bipolar and may need medication to correct his behavior.

    Men treat you how you invite them to treat you. If you can't be strong enough to leave for you....then do it for your child. The next time he decides to hit you while shes in your arms your child could be hit or killed. I worked in juvenile court as an attorney for almost 2 years...many children died in the arms of their mother as father was punching and beating mom and mistakenly hitting child.

    Whatever you do.....DO NOT STAY AND KEEP ACCEPTING THIS BEHAVIOR. MAKE A MOVE NOW. I DID..GOT DIVORCED EARLY LAST YEAR FROM A MAN VERY SIMILAR IN BEHAVIOR TO YOUR HUSBAND ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DRANK. NOW THAT MAN HAS A CHILD ON THE WAY WITH ANOTHER WOMAN AND BEATING AND VERBALLY ABUSING HER.

    iN THE NAME OF JESUS I COME AGAINST EVERY DEMONIC ASSIGNMENT AND ATTACK ON YOUR LIFE AND THAT OF YOUR CHILD. I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS ON YOUR LIFE AND YOUR DAUGHTER'S LIFE. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER IN JESUS NAME. HOLY SPIRIT LEAD THIS WOMAN AND CHILD WHERE YOU WILL HAVE THEM GO. STRENGTHEN HER, ENCOURAGE HER, INCREASE HER FINANCES, MAKE HER TO LOVE HERSELF AND HER CHILD MORE, GIVE HER SUPERNATURAL WISDOM ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE IN HER LIFE AND THE LIFE OF HER CHILD IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME I PRAY A HEDGE OF PROTECTION OVER HER AND HER CHILD..SEND YOUR MIGHTIEST ANGELS LORD TO ENCAMP AROUND HER LORD IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN.
