Romoving conditions while I might be overseas?

[v333k 59]

i'm sorry but i did clearly sense strong doubts and criticisms from your previous msg. though you thought you gave advide, unfortunately, i did not feel it's a good-will msg at all accusing me of visiting just to keep my green card alive--it's as if you have already jumped into a conclusion about me just based on a short description of my situation. it's not just making ends meet when you both went to super expensive elite medical school and grad schools and both have super heavy student's loans on your shoulders. and when your family back in your home country needs your help, maybe it's easier for you not to give any damn about it and walk away.

as i indicated, i will give up my green card if it's too much trouble. and i would appreciate any real advice or sharing of experience here as to if we'll waste the application fees and have to start over from scratch when i apply next time while my marrige is longer than 4 or 5 years by then and has a baby involved.

btw, i hope you don't take offense but the pic you have here freaks me out--it looks like Chucky from the horror movie.

I think what Bob was, and is, trying to get you to think about is the fact that you can get these sorts of questions from an officer. In this case, you can dismiss what Bob is pointing out, but if an officer is asking you these same questions, then you should be prepared and provide honest answers. The interviewing officer doesn't know you, and he/she will base their assumptions on your history and actions. Therefore, your history is showing that you have been outside the country several times, which by their book makes them feel that you do not want to be in the States but desire residency.

Although your case has been forced on you to leave the country and help out your family, but will that be acceptable or not? That's why I suggested you collect documents to show your situation and hope that the officer will be able to sense your honesty and not give you any hard times; if it ever gets to this point.

There is a good chance you will go through just fine, but if you plan to apply for citizenship, then they will consider you not a continuous resident, and will not be eligible to apply for citizenship until you satisfy the continuous residency which is 3 years if married and 5 years if applying normally.

Although, I think Taiwan doesn't allow dual-citizenship so maybe you are not planning on getting naturalized here in the States.

Good luck!

If you need to get another GC it will involve the same paperwork as before I-130 - only difference is since you will have been married 2+ years at the time you will get a 10-yr GC - no more lifting of conditions required.

Nobody is trying to judge you , they are giving their opinion based on information they have read or have experienced , no one is an immigration lawyer hear , speaking of family , when you got married why did you not think that your family back home may need your help ? will it be fair to your child to live a life without his father ? do you think it is fair to your husband ?

For what you have written here , you are giving least importance to the quality your actual marriage , but just giving improtance to a time-frame of your marriage that is 4-5 years and the impression you give here is that you want to use this length of marriage to your advantage to get immigration benefits

No one gives up their family and walks away , my parents are in India and I take ample care to see that they are living there comfortably, but that does not mean that I leave my spouse alone and let my marriage go to hell , its unfair to the person you are married to

I've heard that a lot when I was younger, all the way through school, if memory serves me. Unfortunately, I can't afford cosmetic surgery, so I learned to live with my somewhat ugly face. BTW, you should see my parents!

i have been with my husband since 2005 so i do not know once again why you jumped into a conclusion about me that i give least importance to my marriage judging

from what i had to do for the past few months, not to mention that i don't intend to be away for too long if you really paid attention to what i wrote earlier. was i able to predict that my Dad would get a stroke last year?

i believe in karma so it's the last thing i'd do to take advantage of anyone in any case. and what in the hell did i take advantage of to get immigration benefits?

what kind of immigration benefits am i getting, esp when i said i'll give up the green card if it's too much trouble?

seriously i don't think giving up the green card now will threaten my marriage cuz my end purpose is not to get a green card but to get everything (family issues and financial concerns--150K students loan yet to be paid off) resolved asap so that we can all be together (do you really think i like this? seriously? are you me?).

it's because i know/believe we'll be together anyway so i would prefer not to waste the money (application fees) and have to go thru the whole application process all over again. by going on and on like you know my life time story, maybe you can explain to me better what exactly are the benefits i'm getting or what kind of advantages i'm taking of?

I am sorry to say this, but you can ignore that user. He been creating a lot of unnecessary noise all over the forum.

Just stick to what others have suggested, and use your own judgment on how to proceed.

again if you even take an iota of advice from v33k you are doomed for sure

If you have decided that you will be giving up the GC why are you even asking for any advice ?

sure thing. i'll make my own judgment and decicions as to how to proceed. thanks very much again for your advice.

i actually talked to my husband last night about what happened in this forum. we decided to laugh off whatever nonsense and unnecessary noise from this forum.

the most important thing is the bond between my husband, the baby and me has been strong, and is even stronger than ever after the sudden tragic passing of his dad 2 weeks ago.

it doesn't matter where we are as long as we're together eventually after all's resolved. we'll have to deal with this visa/immigration issue sooner or later wherever we are (here for me or another country for him). unfortunately in my case i can live either in the states or back in my home country cuz i speak more than 3 languages. but my husband can't move there cuz he only speaks english.

i tend to bear positive thinking and deem myself a lucky and blessed person whatever hardship i have to face, thanks also to many nice and supportive people around me.

i know and believe everything will be fine.

cutie, he is just telling it like it is. you ARE at risk.

you need to re-read the residency requirements related to ROC, make sure you comply with them, get your ducks in a row, and sally forth.
