Wife coming to visit me tomorrow!!!

[hyd617 1]

Goodluck .... I get nerves just at thought of 'buying a ticket' to attempt POE ... but never get any further

I pray all goes well for you.

Yes, I agree, your wife is pretty, so hopefully that will help her get through .... a nice smile hopefully will melt the Immigration Officer immediately

Let us know how it goes

Yes! I hope so too. I will tell her to act as cute as possible.

She has it mastered.

I am powerless to her

hey hey, just out of curiosity, how do you communicate with your wife? in English or Japanese? My wife doesn't speak much of English and my Japanese is below-average. I mean I can get my points across but we seldom can have a fluent conversation...she probably married me because of my hotness..j/k

We use both. Her english isnt really good and my Japanese is just good enough to get by. So there are still alot of times where I have to repeat things or say something in a different way. Sometimes I sound like Yoda talking.

I need to keep learning more Japanese though! I can communicate great with my wife but with her friend or family I struuuuuuggggglllleeee.

That's awesome. I am probably at exactly the same situation as you are. Sometimes I feel a lack of sentence structure and often just use words or phrases. I am a member of the Yoda club too...I wonder if VSC would be susceptible to Jedi mind trick..

"You will approve my I-130"

"Yes I will approve your I-130"

LOL exactly! There is a lot of just one word sentences.

woww ur wife is comin!! how exciting.. u must be busy plannin her arrival! hope she has a SAFE journey and hope she has no problems entering.. hopefuly they wil let her in easlily. please keep us posted... good luck!!

Best of luck!

You have a little baby ticker in your sig. Expecting? Where do you plan to have the delivery?

I'm actually in japan now, waiting for my wife to give birth (sometime in the next two weeks).

[Army_Wife 2]

Am just wishing you both ... and baby .... goodluck for today .... my fingers and toes are crossed for a smooth journey for your wife and a hassle free entry through POE. Please let us all know how it goes.

First off thank you everyone for the good wishes!

Secondly,

My wife is here with absolutely no problems at all at the POE here in DFW

She says they asked her a couple of questions about who are you here to visit and thats it.

My wife told them right away that we are waiting on the visa. She didnt have to show any paper work or anything!

It took almost an hour and a half from the time the plane landed until she got to me. But it was because there were so

many people and not because she got held up.

I was starting to freak out.

Now she is asleep in my room with her cute little belly!

Im so happy!!

I hope everyone else gets to be with their loved ones soon too.

huuray!

that's awesome that your wife can come here:) I don't know why immigration attorneys always scare us not to attempt. I have never heard anyone who got turned back. Your wife is already an extreme case (pregnant and without job at Japan) and she still got in okay. Maybe I should tell my wife to come for a visit as well...

Me and my wife were saying the same thing.

I dont think Ive ever heard of anyone from Japan getting turned away.

If my wife can get in with a big baby bump I dont know why anyone else would get turned away.

Amastar,

obviously you have done lots of homework regarding this issue (visiting US during I-130 petition). Do you think, or have you heard, that there would be any negative effect of such visit at the consulate interview? would the interviewing officer give your wife a hard time for making such visit?

I've never heard of that happening. The main thing I was worried about was how it would look if she got denied entry.

I think though as long as she can show on her passport that she left before her 90 days was up and didnt overstay I dont think there is anything to worry about.

Cause technically there isnt any law against people coming to visit while waiting for a visa. Its all up to the Immigration officer at the POE.

If he thinks she is a risk to immigrate illegally then he wont let her in.

But then again Ive heard this over and over again but Ive never read about an actual IO not letting someone in.

Im sure it happens but I just havent seen it happen.

Im not sure why lawyers and other people scare us like they do.

I dont know if I answered your question or not. I hope I helped.

I think the laywers are afraid the denial of entry would delay the Visa process (like a black mark). I am sure there are people got denied entry, but the percentage maybe as low as 0.001%. I guess lawyers are not taking any chances, no matter how safe it might seem..

On a subsequent note, I have noticed that some forums allege that even if your spouse is granted entry during the I-130 process, such trip would generate additional FBI name check (if it has already been done), which could delay the processing time at the consulate. Anybody has any thought or experience from that?

Have a nice time together!
