Myopia

Myopia – Please read the eligibility for Medicaid on their website, my paste is directly from their website and not my own creation.

For Medicaid you have to be US citizen or legal immigrant (tourist visa is not an immigrant)

I am not saying ppl don’t get help when they go to hospital coz they are not citizen or immigrant – that money comes from state and that rule varies from state to state.

Since Harpa said it was getting more and more common as medical tourism where ppl enter on tourist visa just to give birth to obtain USC – its getting difficult and difficult to do something like this.

Whoever fills i-485 is not a tousirt

PPL who fill out i-485 are legal immigrant and they are entitled to use that funds.

Harsh. Im out of status and I had a baby in the US. I know for a fact that aomeone without status can get Medicaid for the duration of their pregnancy and until their 6 weeks post partum check.

Katie - you have been pro about a preg woman getting a medicaid, here is the info from medicaid website.

Hope this clears the confusion. These may include your age, whether you are pregnant, disabled, blind, or aged; your income and resources (like bank accounts, real property, or other items that can be sold for cash); and whether you are a U.S. citizen or a lawfully admitted immigrant.

For Medicaid you have to be USC or an immigrant - tourist visa is not immigrant status - so either the OP and her family lied on one of the forms and hospital did not check their status.

You are 100% incorrect. Emergency Medicaid covers undocumented people in the US. A pregnancy can be covered by emergency medicaid if you are out of status. If you look at the I-485 form. it actually states that emergency medicaid is an exception to the rule.

Please give correct information because others may read your posts and be misguided.

People have been coming to the Us for years in order to give their children citizenship. They broke up a Birth tourism ring in California not to long ago.

t ev

I guess im the only california march filer that hasnt receive the EAD yet..

At this point what would be the point?

Depends how old you are and what is appropriate for your age. I did not have my immunization records but because I am over a certain age., I didnt have to have all my shots again.

her husband(my father-in-law),wont agree to have anything to do with my paperwork,he doesn't want to share such private information like his income his ssn and personal info,

As if the federal government dont already know!

Hope it all works out for you.

Yes. Its really ok to travel to another state. All you need it photo ID and you more than likely will not meet up with any Customs and Border Patrol. I am yet to hear of any internal stops in NJ or NY.

Enjoy the east coast

My spouse not meet the requirement to be sponsor so my friend, he is us citizen is the joint sponsor.

But he will be going to out of country for couple of months.

Does USCIS contact my friend or not?

No they dont. Just make sure when your friend fills the I-864 packet out that they have given you all the relevant supporting documentation such as the last three year tax returns, employment letter, wage slips and proof of US citizenship.

Did you make an infopass appointment? I would make one asap and bring the proof with you.

Yes you have to do the medical if you are adjusting within the USA (Unless you are a K1 visa holder).

They test for syphilis as I recall.They do a TB test and some general blood work. Nothing too specific.

You should had filed immiediately..... you had 6 months that you were on legal status, what is your status for last 6.5 yrs?

You dropped out of the status in 2004, you should had filed for the AOS immediately.

What was the point of this post? It did nothing to bring any light to the OP's situation. You really should refrain from posting replies is you are going to be judging their motives.

Ditto.

I barely check my online case. Im not expecting to see an EAD until June at the very earliest and Im not expecting an interview till September. And thats me being optimistic!

I would be very careful about marrying whilst in the states under the VWP. My fiance was here (in the US) with me two times under the VWP in the past 6 months, first visit 28 days and second 87 days....he came here to be with me since I had surgery for newly diaognosed cancer. He was to have returned for a 3rd trip to assist since I was returning to work full time. We hadn't done our K-1 app yet....we saw an atty during one of his visits and the atty said we could marry and do a spouse visa (CR1 I think)... my fiance was laid off his job that allowed him this time but after making his way here on this 3rd trip Customs & Border Protection refused him entry declaring he was abusing the VWP...I couldn't believe it!!! He came to help me being diaognosed with cancer and having a major surgery. Our previous visits to each others countries over the past couple yearsprior to this illness situation were all under the VWP and no more than 2 weeks at a time.

He has never been here more than the 90 days, always had a return ticket, but still was refused entry. Now in addition to the K1 we will also have to get a waiver (an additional $650 and possible 6 more months of processing - at least that's what I've been told). When he came through Customs, the agent knew him from his previous visits and asked him how we were coping with my cancer, my fiance told him we were doing alright...then the agent asked what are our plans, putting words in my fiances mouth (" you going to get married? "..my fiance said yes, then the agent asked, "you going to change your status and get a green card?" and my fiance said yes knowing that would be the process eventually)...at that point the agent turned very aggressive and mean ... took him to another interview room and three separate agents interogated him, treated him like a downright criminal....this was after an 8 hour plan trip! The interogation went on for 3 hours, and in the end that evening we never even got to see each other. They let him make one phone call to me as I waited at the airport, they told him not to make a scene and he called me to say he was refused entry and can't ever enter US again without a visa. So be careful when using the VWP! We are devestated over this whole thing. I'm now going through treatment and he was to have been with me but the US government wouldn't allow that...to them it is abusing the VWP!!! If one is refused entry under the VWP there is no appeal either. So be careful what you do when usijng VWP...

Your situation is totally different from the OP's. Your fiancee basically made statements that caused the IO to believe that he was going to marry you while in the US and adjust status. That is a no no. The fact that he travelled on the Visa Waiver Program and stayed for 4 months within a 6 month period was a flag too, not to mention that he came a third time. He had no job and no reason to stay in his home country especially with your illness.

I do not believe that he will need a waiver. Did they stamp anything in his passport?

I hope you are doing well with treatment.

I dont do anything. Initially I would check the USCIS portal every day, now I dont even bother. I sent my application off in March and I am fairly sure that I will not see an EAD till at least June at the earliest(And Im being generous). I am quite busy having a husband to take care of and children , to be honest not much has changed for me. What I have discovered (which may be fun for you) is the joys of couponing.

Hope everything works out well for you.

What about WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)?

WIC guidelines

wIC is a nutrition program for pregnant women and children under 5.

It will not pay for medical.

OK, so I went to Chase Bank this morning to open up my own checking account. My fiancée and I will then open a joint Savings account. Anyway, I went to the bank to open an account. He let me open it, without a SSN, but then said I have to bring in something with my name and address in the US in order for my account to not be closed. So I have a checking account, but it might not be that way after next weekend!

I wanted to look for a phone today, maybe getting a welcome pack or something from a phone company would be enough, but I went to MetroPCS and they told me I need a US debit/credit card to get a phone. What other options do I have? Also would they accept just junk mail in my name as I might have something from Atlantic City sent here from when I went there with my fiancée a few months ago... I was sent my P45 from my employer in the UK, but the envelope was hand written and I'm worried that it may not be accepted either - ugh!

Any ideas for me? Thanks!

Steve

You can get a green dot card from here and that would enable you to get a phone.

Chase want utility bills or something similar. They won't accept air mail or anything that looks personal. I know as I have banked with Chase for years and when my husband went to put me on his checking account they wanted utility bills.

Ok I found the information for you.

This is the link that you need to read. I hope you are close to the hospital. Give them a call and see what they have to say.

Financial Assistance at Carilon Clinic

And this is the main link for the hospital

Carilion Clinic

I just want to commend you for at least asking these questions first. At the end of the day, no birth control is 100% and so it makes sense find out what is out there in the event that your wife falls pregnant.

Oops I tried to edit and I guess I couldnt. I missed you stated your state already.

There was a thread by someone who was pregnant in Virginia. I believe she had found a hospital in VA that was willing to cover her whilst she was pregnant. I will try to find the thread and maybe you can speak to her (the OP) and find out what she had to do.

Depending on where you are in the US, every single state has a hospital that has some kind of plan that will help those who do not have insurance. Here in NY, there are hospitals that will treat you regardless of whether you can pay and have financial help for those who are not able to cover the full cost of Medical.

Pregnancy usually qualifies for emergency medicaid if you are undocumented but I am unsure how that works when you are in status especially with the I-864.

What I advise you to do is find out where your local Catholic/Methodist/City hospital is and find out about what plans they have that could cover you in the event of your wife falling pregnant or even needing medical care.

It can cost thousands to have a baby but that is not always the case especially if you find out what is available in your state. If you like let me know what state you are in (City would be better) and I will find out for you.

We have our interview scheduled for June 3rd! Now if only EAD would come...

How much you wanna bet you will get your EAD the day before your interview?

He came to the US legally. He overstayed because of his parents actions.

OP-I feel kinda sorry for you because you have asked the same questions on other forums and you got the same answer.

You were also being rather unhelpful with the information too.

Bottom line is you have created a paper trail pertaining to your false USC claims and there really isnt too much you can do to circumvent that reality.

Sorry.

Just received my EAD today! God is soo good, just in time for my birthday

He is full of Blessings for us and do not let anyone tell you otherwise!

It is just so easy to say the man is a cheater and how could he do this to the OP but life can get really complicated at times. I think most of us can agree with that.

I look at it from the other woman's angle. They had a child together and the baby died. That is a traumatic thing to go through, to carry a child for nine months and then at the end of all that nurturing, you end up with nothing but tears? I am not surprised that she went "crazy".Now there is a child and to be honest, I can not help but believe that his heart lays with his ex who is also the mother of his child. History is a hard thing to compete with in those circumstances. When men say stuff like they are being harassed by a woman. I tend to believe that it is a cover story. Its really easy to block numbers etc and so I really think you need to start realising that 99% of what he may have told you about her is probably untrue.

To the OP, you said you were making plans and everything once you knew you were pregnant. Were you having problems before this happened? There has to have been signs that you just missed. In any event kicking him out probably made you feel better in the short term but I doubt you will feel the same in a few days. The truth is you feel betrayed and betrayal is a terrible thing to overcome especially when trust is paramount. You have a lot to think about in the coming weeks and months and I hope you make the best choice for you and your child.

Child support is not going to help you at this time because you do not have a physical baby and so you really need to think this whole thing through. He is your only means of support. How are you going to maintain yourself and a child alone in the US? You said you can not go back to your homeland with a child and so you will have to make a way for yourself here in the US. If you arent working, I hope you get a job soon before you start to show as even though jobs are not allowed to discriminate against you, there is no way to know if they are doing so.

I just want you to have a clear head. All the best

Shes talking about Pakistani men in Bradford.

I have this horrible feeling I know her from somewhere. Maybe paltalk.

Speaking from experience. Stress can cause miscarriages. If he has a baby with her or not, you have to take care of yourself. The first 12 weeks are really important and stress can really affect you.

Please try to take it easy.

You will have nothing but regrets when you realise that your stressing over what you can not change has resulted in the loss of a child.

Sorry to put it that way.

i did everything in good faith, but i am not 100% sure if he has. it's a long and complicated story and i rather not post the very intimate details of my relationship. what i was trying to accomplish by filing a packet was to prove that i did everything in good faith, and the failure of the marriage was his cause-- good faith or not. why would i want someone to stay in my birth country that has caused me so much pain? he needs to go back to his birth country and start another life. i just want to know if anyone has filed a detailed packet of their relationship with immigration to say their side of the story and their experience.

thanks.

How can you ever really know that? Did you think that he would be with you forever because you lived in the USA and he was from Pakistan? Some kind of international Pygmallion with him being Eliza?

Marriages fail. Move on. Get divorced. Vindictiveness is just tacky. Why should he not stay here?

You are just another poor soul who married someone from outside of the USA and got exactly 2 years of marriage. Some times that is about all the intending spouse is looking for. What did you get out of this? Im hoping there were some good times.
