card production!!!! finally!!!! chao uscis for 2 wonderful years!!! thanks to all of you for your help and support, good luck!!!!! see you in roc!

rfe says they lost my sealed envelope, so, i have to get all my medical redone, i just paid 250 for medical, vacination transcripts and tb test... i hate this process, how that can be possible? they loss my things and don't even say sorry, and i took them 8 months to tell me. damn them

after 8 months, i got an RFE, seriously? this process just makes me want to move back, i'm soooo angry!!!!! 8 month!!! aahhgggg, i should have my GC right now. damn it!!!!

yeah, I'm working, paying taxes, being a good citizen... still in limbo. :/ we are thinking of buying a house, but I don't know if I can without a GC

I'm still waiting for my green card, has been mor that 6 months since I filed, almost 7... I'm soooooo pissed!!! My local office has been working on the cases from August the 18th for more than 3 weeks!!! I think I'm gonna email my congress person >/

I am also stuck with the saint paul office, almost 6 months, I want this to be done... I can get student loans, in state tuition, driver licence or anything, I am in "status" limbo I want my green card!!!

they told my local office is working on june files, so, they can not do anything about it, that makes no sense

to "make things more efficient" they are full of %&*$ I filled in August, still no green card, what an annoying process

time to whine, after almost 5 months, no green card, i've called uscis a dozen of times, they say my local office is delayed, and they cant do anything... i thought the transfer was supposed to expedite the process :/ oh well. i hate to be out of status, i cant get a student loan... more waiting, i think this k1 process is all wrong and broken.

end of whining.

my husband is awesome, he is worth all this #######

i kept mine, same reason... and i think giraldo is waaaay better than sarnicki

no problems so far

lo del copay significa que como maximo pagas 3500 al anio, despues de los 3500 en gastos medicos ya no pagas nada, me imagino que la poliza que tenes paga un 80%, yo fui al medico hace un mes, me hicieron un monton de examenes y la cuenta fue de mas de 900, con los examens y todo pague 240 dolares, en dos cuotas.

y si, la salud es carisima, en medellin me hicieron dos cirugias super importnates y solo pague 500 mil, aca los mismo 500 mil fueron por la revisadita. como consejo, no se enfermen

el permiso se demora 3 meses en promedio, independiente de biometricos y transferencias

Hi, I filed my AOS on August from a K1 visa, got my EAD on October, I was admitted to a University, as I can not pay for out of my pocket I completed my FAFSA in order to get a federal loan, which is more convenient than a private loan.

My question is:

A prove of legal permanent residency is required, I sent a copy of my EAD, they answered me that is not enough and they need my green card, which is not approved yet. I was reading the document, and one of the document they accept is, passport with endorsement A : “Processed for 1-551. Temporary Evidence of Lawful Admission for Permanent Residence. Valid until (date). Employment Authorized.”

I guess that is the stamp nobody gets anymore.

aren't my EAD and NOA1 the same thing that that stamp???

Thanks for any thought

a mi me valieron esa tarjeta para la nueva licencia, pero cada estado es diferente, como generalidad yo diria que si, despues de eso la green card se demora uno o dos meses mas en promedio.

it's is wrong, it's annoying, makes you angry, but it is what we have to do.

it took me 64 days to get my EAD card, time enough to get used to the city, enjoy my husband and organize my home.

we are kinda tight, but i have 3 job interviews this week and i feel very positive carry on!

by the way, i did not go with the civil surgeon, my vaccinations were not complete, im missing second doses of some of them, i sent the vaccination records with the "blanket waiver" note, i got my job permit 2 weeks ago and i havent had a rfe.

EAD and AP card on hand

EAD and AP approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a relief!!!!!!!!!!! we are so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 61 days after the date of the NOA

good luck

lets say that if you have permission from the father you are safe. if you want you can adopt the child, but again, the father needs to cooperate.

we filled on august the 24th, one month after that, still no biometris, we called uscis and the said we needed to wait one more month... one week after that i got my app, sometimes they just forget about you, if in 15 days after filling you don't get biometrics, call and bug them, it is the only way.

i got my app for october the 31th, i walked in last week, it took 20 minutes, very easy.

now waiting for the ead and ap... hopefully no rfe.

hag in there.

i think the right thing would be telling the guy how awesome the deal is, and he will be released of any obligation with the kid, that if you sign this we will not ask you for support or money ever, is not lying is just sell the idea different, explain that the mother will be move and she will be in charge of the kid for ever, need cooperation from him, use grandma, that is a great idea.

start doing this, you do need a lawyer, but not like for fighting is more for the paperwork, prices.... i dont want to give misinformation but between 2k and 3k is a reasonable number. at the beginning dont mention nationalities, they are very willing to drain you, just start the relinquish, say she is gonna move for ever, and after you trust the person, tell the whole deal.

a lot of law schools in colombia have something called "consultorio juridico" the law students give advise for free, that could be a good starting, just go and get some ideas and prices, is a pretty sweet deal.

and no, a marriage doesn't have anything to do with paternity issues.

well, you need a family attorney in colombia, not in the states, a good one, if she is in medellin, i can give you names.

get the child issue solved.

marry her in colombia.

move to rwanda.

start migration process.

regardless the child, is gonna be way easier if the father resigns to his right whit her and you adopt her, if you are planing to move all over the world, is gonna be a pain in the butt always. if you are the legal father, problem solved.

1. every country has different migration rules, but i'm almost sure you can relocate with your wife (no matter nationality) in rwanda. i have a colombian frien living in china with her german BOYFRIEND, his company gave her a sponsorship. that is not a big deal.

2. the kid is an issue.

3. cultural shock is gonna be massive, we colombians are very attached to our land, food, and family, no matter if we are poor or rich, and rwanda is not the states, from here it takes 6 hours and 600 bucks to get colombia...i would suggest a 6 months try, if rwanda doesnt work, try to relocate, if you can not right now, then wait. a long distance relationship is hard, but it is not impossible, all of us have done it. i have to add that if you really really love someone, you would live under a bridge (i'm not comparing rwanda with a bridge, i'm just saying, and the idea sounds very cool, not like winter in minnesota ), but again, when a child is in the middle, the adventure spirit shrinks.

4. when the time to move to the states comes, start the US migration process, before that it is pointless.

good luck!!! and save a lot of money and patience , this process is expensive, long and annoying.

after one month of my noa1 no biometrics, so i called and they said "call in one month" i called in 1 week and they said 'we just sent it the app, my advice, bug the uscis, you never know where your pile of papers laded and sometimes thye just forget about them, good look.
