I hate those "How do you know he's not just in it for the green card?" type people. That's the main reason I don't bring up my husband or the fact that I'm married because I'm not going to restrain my frustration if they ask me that. My husband is unlike any guy I've ever met. He supports me on a whole other level that I can't even begin to explain. We went through a lot of the same problems together growing up, so we just connect like we were destined for each other.

*There's a bucket in the corner if my mushy-ness is making you sick*

But it's true. We know what we have and that's all that matters. What God put together let no one break asunder .

I totally agree with you :yes: if they couldn't say anything good, they better shut the f*** up!

What really matters is, YOU HAVE EACH OTHER..and you're in this process TOGETHER.. :)

WHAT?! "Is he worth it?" Heck, yea!! Who goes around asking things like that? Immigration and how-do-you-decide-the-worth-of-a-person aside, you married him. If he wasn't good for you, that wouldn't have happened. Let alone your taking on the circus of US immigration. Geez! Some people!!

My favorites are the ones who go "How do you know he's not just in it for the green card?" Please just shut your mouth and walk away. It's like Thumper's mom: If you don't have something nice to day, don't say anything at all. If you're honestly interested in knowing the answer, at least find a better way to ask. Ask about our future living plans or if he wants to become a citizen. Or if you're genuinely concerned that I'm getting scammed, please just say so. There's no need to judge my husband before you've even met him. But I guess that's part of the problem. I don't have this really warm, confident flesh-and-blood man for them to meet. And if you're not going through it, you can't understand to the same degree.

I agree. You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you.

Semi-related: Everyone! Don't forget to PM me your names, phone numbers, and e-mails for the March 2011 reunion in Vegas!

:crying: My Police Certificate had wrong date on it. Should I say, finally! I got the Police Certificate today?

How could be? August 15,2010?! All right, 5 months later!!! Maybe, the notary would like to take a vacation then?! Not to mention it is my second time to get a wrong certificate!!!!!!!!

God! Please, please! Let me get the CORRECT Police Certificate before April!!!

Ouch. If you are doing Electronic Processing, then the process of 'scanning it in , in China, to email to YOU' should be easy.

Major suck, though, on this wrong date.

was it the certificate itself, or the notarial translation into english, that had the wrong date on it?

You know the drill, ya? Time to go back to the PSB, get it done again. Your spouse MIGHT be able to get it done for free, and 'faster' - if the date is wrong - have to 'go fast' though (if possible).

Good Luck !

Updating about my friend's case....

So, she called NVC again and they told her they can not proceed with K3/4. So they will follow as CR1 for her and she will have to re-apply for her daughter.

Start back from the beginning.... send a I-130 to USCIS and everything.....

Anyway, just thought you guys would like to know what happens to a K3 with beneficiary.

That sucks big time. So that means she'll still have to stay where she is because she can't leave her daughter behind right? Stupid NVC. :angry:

:ot: kinda...

So tell me if any of you go thru this...

When I tell people about my husband, what we are going through with immigration, the amount of time we have spent together compared with the time we have been apart, etc, mostly I get these looks :huh: and then an occasional, "wow" and often a "why didnt you just marry someone here" and yesterday I even got a "is he worth it"

Very few people understand this process, what we go thru and I am so happy to have you guys here on VJ- to relate to. "is he worth it"???? I asked her, "wouldnt your husband be?" dumb broad...

:ot2:

how do you check for Log in Fail?

No worries girlfriend!!! Its there and CC for you next week. :thumbs:

Log In Fail! :thumbs:
