Hi, I'm from Peru

[V&J2005 0]

Good morning everybody

Good news, I opened a new checking account at Washington Mutual and got approved for a Secured Credit card, I think that's the easiest way. I put down $300 and in about 10 days I'll be getting a new Master Card credit card. I thought that they were going to keep my $300 but they explained me that after a few months I can show the records of all the payments I make and they can approve me for a real credit card.

Thanks everybody for sharing your experiences with me

Have a great day

Congrats VI

Hi Vi,

I was just wondering around Vj and saw your post, for some reason it ididnt send me the alert someone had replied here... anyway... do you have a cell phone under your name?

I got one on TMobile(July 05) two months after I moved here, got a couple bills under my name at home... and by november 05 I capital one approved me for a credit card with a $500 limit... now, I have several credit cards with over $2000 credit limit...

About the secured credit card, make sure you check with them in 8-12 months about upgrading it to an unsecured credit card, otherwise you will be stucked paying interest on your own money... I see people at the bank(where I work) having secured credit cards forever, and they just dont take the time to talk to someone on the phone and get their deposit back...

Any news on the GC?

Hey guys...just wanted to announce that Luis and I are expecting a little boy!!!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all

[Vi Mazzella 4]

Hello everybody!!!

Congratulations Tracy, a little boy, but are you sure is just one? I imagine how happy Luis and his family are.

We had a great dinner, but honesly to see the turkey and the family reunited made me think about my family and that made me a bit emotional .

I still full from yesterday and today we went shopping, we left the house at 6am and almost finish with our Christmas list, we got some amazing deals and we are very happy about that.

That's about it.

Have a good night!

We're positive it's only one

I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, but it shouldn't take long since we can't buy much

[Vi Mazzella 4]

I forgot....

I asked Santa if he can send me a baby this Christmas, he said, MAYBE....

And I'm currently looking for another job... I'm not so happy with my new job, not what I expected.

Take care

Hello All,

My name is Martin and i was born here but my parents are from PERU from a small town names Pisco, close to ICA.. I met my wife in Peru and she is from Chepen, a small town close to Chiclayo and married her over there. I filed for her in April 24th 2007 with the I130 and last week i sent the DS230 part 1 and 2. I dont know what is next. Also what type of proof would i need for the interview? I have made many trips to peru this year alone. Most of my trips are weekend trips since Work does not allow many days off. Do you think my passport with all my entries to peru is enough? What else would i need. What do they ask?

Also I am divorced, I met my first wife here, after 2 years i gave her papers since she was an illegal. Then the 4th year she left me. Then i met my present wife and petitioned. Will this be a problem at the interview???

Any advise would be helpful

THANKS!

Awsome, must feel great to have that card on the way to you. We have to start the process in the 1st quarter of 2008. I'm sure I may ask questions as I did for our K-1 process which you helped us alot with.

I thought we were going to have to go this way but my husband got approved for a Bank of America Efectiva card with a limit of 1000 dollars...and he pays it off every month so pretty soon I'm sure his credit will be better than mine heh!

That is so weird!

What kind of proof did they want? We sent like 20 pictures and only two affidavits, no trip tickets or anything like that... maybe a baby's birth certificate does make a difference to them... WEIRD!!!
