Congratulations :dance:

Hahaha Hypnos! (not a bad idea at all!)
But seriously, congrats!! So happy for you both.
Next step is get married, file AOS, and just enjoy being together

They will not look at the link nor the DVD.
Only evidence that CO would look during interview is the printed pictures.
They do not accept any digital medium.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :wow:

The AOS will cost a total of $1070 that is $985 for the I-485 and $85 for the Biometrics, for the medical you want to shop around.

But wasn't that the titled of your post, How to quantify if your marriage was bona fide. Also, wasn't the other titled shouldn't the fact that you had a baby quantified the evidence that your marriage was real.
So it seems as if you were searching and asking for opinions of others on these two topics. That is what you got, was opinion of those who doesn't know you or your husband and they gave you some factual information. So why are you belittling those who answered your question. Going for the AOS interview the CO could be much harsher in questioning your marriage, so how will you handle that? The CO who interview you will have your future in his/her hand by listening to how you answer any of these questions that others have purposed to you.
Only you know if your marriage is real or not, it's what you do to provide/support evidence as such.
BTW, millions of single mothers have babies and they are not in true relationships with the baby father, so the fact that you have a child doesn't give solid support that your marriage is real. Both names doesn't have to be on all of the bills, your name can be on some and his name on others. A checking account has nothing to do with maitaing good or bad credt, if he doesn't know how to use it properly, then cut up his debit card on the account. A vacation doesn't have to cost hundreds of dollars, a vactaion can be in your own city but it can be time spent away from home. But nothing says going on vacation togeher qualifies a bona fide marraige.
Having pictures together is not a big deal, who sits around in this day and time and just click pictures at events. Photoshop can put any two people together in a picture, so picture really don't have any weight. Just get letters from friends and family memebrs. The child's doctor would be a good source, if you'll have been to visits together. Neighbors would be a good source two. Your situation is fixable, but having an attitude makes those who could aid you shy away.

Btw - Freedove - did you ever consider posting all questions that come to your mind within let's say couple of hours in one post rather than flooding the forum with multiple topics ?

There are no "boyfriend" immigration visas. Sort out the current marriage and then you can proceed.
Boyfriend is going to have to be more savvy about entering the US for visits. He's likely going to have to go for a visa interview in London just to come for any visits.
In the meantime educate yourself about the immigration process. You will need to meet the income requirements for your household (you+any children+ UK significant other). Securing a sponsor can be a challenge. Have your employer look through the requirements to see if they are willing to participate. If not, find another.

Bring also a copy, you can hand that over when they want to keep it.

Congratulations :dance:

That's because in the US many people believe that "support from the government" is a euphemism for "support from the taxpayers". The government in the US doesn't have any money they didn't take from a taxpayer or borrow from a bond holder. The same is true in most countries that aren't socialist (i.e., where the government isn't getting revenue from nationalized industries), but many people don't make the mental connection between the government's money and where the government got that money.
I'm not belittling the social support structure they have in Australia, especially if most Australians are happy with it. I'm saying that, to a large degree, people in America don't feel the same way. Most people in America believe that unearned public benefits should be reserved for those who are either permanently incapable of supporting themselves (the disabled), or are temporarily down on their luck. What might be surprising is that this belief is the strongest in America's working class. The people who believe that America should have a social support structure resembling the one in Australia or much of Europe are at opposite ends of the income spectrum - those at the bottom who would directly benefit from a strong social support system, and wealthy liberals who would happily contribute a chunk of their own wealth if the government forced everyone else to do the same. The people in between don't like it because they're the ones who would mostly be paying for it.
Immigration law is crafted to appease the majority of American who feel this way. Americans, for the most part, expect the costs of family immigration to be paid for by the families and immigrants, and that there should be protections in place to ensure that Americans aren't left holding the bill for immigrants who can't support themselves.

Don't rely on things that you've "heard."
You can get good information from a family law attorney about the divorce process. A qualified immigration attorney can give you advice about the specifics of your green card status. It's unlikely that one attorney will be experienced in both areas.
Sit down, lay out all the specifics, learn your options, and choose your path.

He is abusing you and you want your child to be a part of his life? That seems odd to me.
You ought to divorce and move on. Divorce is survivable. Live wherever is best for you and your child.

There is nothing illegal in what the OP has done. If there was, there wouldn't be a process for it.
That having been said..... and this is a general announcement to everyone..... please do not pass judgement in this thread or your posts will be removed and you will be thread-banned. Just respond to the questions and do not try to derail the topic. Thank you.

Why would a stranger agree to a contract with the US government concerning a person they did not know? Would you sign a contract with the government to sponsor my spouse and be liable if she collected any sort of government assistance?
Most of us here (myself included) on VJ "imported" a spouse through K or CR/IR visas. Just using a term, not making accusations.

No it does not mean that.
Hiring an attorney has nothing to do with them being a joint sponsor. They do not sponsor immigrants because you hired them. They only fill out the forms for you for an insane amount of fees.

Find a second job?

Congrats and yes this is an awesome site

Most people here don't advise it, because if something "looks" like a wedding, it can be perceived as one. If you don't sign any papers, or provide any pictures at the interview, this is possible. It's not a risk I would personally take, but that's just me.

Congratulations :dance:

This is not true. If it didn't work for you I am sorry, but it DOES work for many people.

If the card isn't in the mail pull the support. He may have put in a change of address to have the card sent to where he is , he probably had the exit planned and the fight may not have been spontanous. If the card is just issued you could try to call ice and tell them that as soon as his EAD arrived he left your house with no contact. Nigerian men are good at dropping relationships like dirty diapers. They can always go find another wife. Protect yourself by severing the ties especially the affidavit.

Sometimes they don't update your online status at all, or sometimes they send you 5 emails saying the same thing. Unfortunately you can't rely on that.

I'm sorry, this is horrible advice. FInding and marrying a USC within 90 days while also breaking up with your other fiance is most certainly going to lead to a visa denial for fraud.

When you introduce your wife instead of saying this is my wife and she is Vietnamese you can perhaps say this is my wife and her name is _______. By introducing her initially as her nationality they are forming opinions. She is a person with her own unique qualities who just happens to be Vietnamese. Just my two cents
