I just got the text that my petition was approved. Wake up Anita!!

Hi Ryan, although I'm not a muslim but I live in Jakarta my whole life, so I'll give my best to help you out with your problems.

Here's what i know. Siri wedding is just religious muslim wedding, it is not official according to our government. No contract will be signed. Obtaining arabic name after converting to islam will not be official until you legally change your name to your arabic name. So i think it wont be a problem to have siri wedding during or before K1 visa process, as long as you dont make it legal. Dont mention about siri wedding during your fiance's interview at the embassy and dont provide any photo that would make them suggest you are legally married in indonesia. Just remember that siri wedding is not acknowledge by our government.

Good luck

Congratulation Stef,

We submit our I-129F on august so noa2 should be coming soon. Thanks for your helpful information.

I live in Jakarta, is there anyway we can communicate? i would love to ask you some questions about the interview

my email is anita.ngadiman@gmail.com

Hello everyone, I have few questions about my case status.

My name is Leticia. I came on the K-1 visa (Sept. 11, 2007) to marry with a US Citizen and we got married within 90 days (Dec. 10, 2007) of my entry into the USA. We were going through a tough time in which my husband actually domestically abused me, followed with me filing an order of protection against him and a police report with the city that I was residing at with my husband. I did not follow up with the order of protection and dropped it in court because we talked and worked things out. After 1 year (Sept. 2008) of marriage my husband applied for my 2 year Green Card. I received my 2 year Green Card (March, 2009), and a month later we separated because after me not following up with the order of protection, the abuse continued followed with more police reports. A month after receiving my 2 year Green Card we separated. I then moved to another state.

My Green Card is due to expire on March of 2011, I have to apply my 10 year Green Card by December of 2010. As I contacted a lawyer to get a divorce in the city that my husband resided, I was informed that I have been divorced since April of 2009. I was told that the divorce was approved because my husband published a divorce notification for me in a newspaper because he was not aware of where I currently reside and since their was no response on my part they granted him the divorce. They granted him the dissolution of marriage which notes "without cause or provocation on the part of the petitioner, the respondent has willfully deserted and absented herself from petitioner, commencing on April 3, 2009, and continuing for a period in excess of one (1) year, to the present time." Throughout this period before the divorce was granted I tried to reach my husband many times by email and phone with no response.

Now I must file for my 10 year green card and I currently do not have sufficient amount of money to pay a lawyer for my paperwork and I have taken the first steps to resolve the matters of obtaining my 10 year green card. I obtained a copy of my divorce and will be obtaining the order of protection documents which will prove some of the abuse that I went trough in my relationship with my ex-husband. I set-up an interview with 'InfoPass' (Nov. 15, 2010) to obtain the proper documents and any advice in regards to my case.

I am currently self-employed and will be filing my taxes in the beginning of January 2011, and my husband last filed taxes for 'us' for the year of 2008.

I am asking anyone to give me any advice and/or testimonial so that I may prove to immigration that my marriage was of good faith and what is the possibility of me obtaining my 10 year Green Card with my case. Is their any other information that I will need to provide for this mater. Please help, any advice is good!

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000 (BIWPA) provide battered alien spouses and children of U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) eligibility to self-petition for lawful permanent residence. In general, eligibility is based on whether a qualifying relationship exists or existed and the petitioner was subject to extreme mental cruelty or battery by the U.S. citizen or LPR. The Act also allows for an abused parent of a U.S. citizen son or daughter to self-petition for lawful permanent residence.

I think perhaps the "paper ticket" is your boarding pass stub. I flew with Delta and China airlines and that is what I was given.

August 21 filer. Last touched on September 1

(CNSNews.com) – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deported 298,410 illegal aliens in fiscal 2009, only 2.98 percent of the 10 million people it estimated were in the United States illegally. My link

My ex-wife was here on a tourist visa which had expired for more than two years. I applied to adjust her status and it was fine. Our country just doesn't have the resourced to track down and try to deport people for overstaying visas. Good luck!

Guys, I have been talking to my Fiance for almost 11 months everyday on Skype. We talk twice a day for a total of about 3 hours a day.We sumitted our 129f in June 2010 and have been waiting for our NOA2 letter.my question is, I am running out of things to talk about, We have talked so much. What do you guys do to keep up your spirits and talk about as the months roll by. I am a man, we cann't gossip the way women do. I have suggested that we only Skype once or twice a week, so things will happen in our lives and we will have something new to talk about. She got upset at that suggestion, saying I don't love her and don't want to see her everyday. But she expects me to come up with things to talk about and I don't know what to say anymore.It would be different if she was here, we could go places together, do things together, not just sit and stare at each other and talk, for 3 hours at a time. Does anyone else have this problem, or is she correct, I don't love her if I don't want to talk to her everyday for 3 hours at a shot. I would love to have her here and part of my life, but now she is just an image on my computer screen. She isn't interested in my daily life as an accountant/tax preparer. its pretty boring stuff. I've got to go, she is online now Bill

We talk about every single thing that happens in our day using yahoo instant messenger on our cellphones. we both have a love of movies and often watch the same ones together and of course pictures, pictures, pictures. I know when I visited her in May I felt like I was right at home because I was so familiar with her home from all the pics and vids I had seen. I do understand how you feel. It's harder for some to park in front of cam and chat. I have just been laying in bed watching tv chatting with her tonight talking about TV while she's at the office working. lol We won't know what to do when we are in the same time zone. I personally don't like the idea of someone saying, "you don't love me". It's kind of manipulative in my opinion. Good luck, I'm sure it will work out. NOA2 will be here soon
