Intro and thank you to the community of VJ

[muffinman007 1]

First an apology, for I didn't create an VJ account to cronicle my journey and experiences of getting my wife over here in the state in order to share with other.

By the time I found the community of VJ, I was almost done with the whole process (at that point in time, we were waiting for the interview appointment). The community helped me find relief from the stresses caused by the person that was helping us filing the paperwork. That person didn't do much work while I ended up communicting with NVC by email and taking care most of the steps. Since at the initial phase of the process I was clueless of what to do and my family introducted the person to us I still paid him at a discounted rate of $600.00 for his service. I have no problem of paying any kind of reasonable amount for such services if the person actually did significant work and at the same time not make it such a stressful experience.

Now the introduction:

The whole process took about 1.5 years. I met my wife in Vietnam in the month of October, 2011. On May 09 2012 (April 19, 2012 lunar calender), we did the traditional tea celemony wedding. Our interview date was on Nov. 14 2013. On Dec. 4th 2013 we landed in America together.

Now to vendicate myself: I ask the community to help me with three new journey, one short and two long.

The first journey: My wife wish to partition her family here: should she either get her citizenship first (within 5 years) and start the paperwork or start it as a permanent resident?

the second journey is not mine but my cousins. My cousins came to me asking if I know the process of partition a fiancees over, with this community in mind, I replied yes. I will ask for her permission chronicle her journey and will do so if it doesn't break any forums rules.

The third journey: the same cousins wish to bring her family over.

So I wanted to thank you guys for bringing me relief during my stressful moments and I hope the community will direct and guide me with those new journeys.

Answers:

• LPR's can only petition for their spouses and/or children. If she wants to petition for other immediately family members, she will need to become a US Citizen first.
• It is not a TOS violation to chronicle another persons journey as long as they have full knowledge of you doing so and give you their permission to do so.
• They need to be US Citizens and can only petition for immediate family members (spouse, sibling, child, parent)

Your wife would not need to wait 5 years; it's only 3 for spouses (minus 90 days) for filing hte petition.
