Hi all,

I just have a few why questions. I'm sure it is on another post or maybe not. I was just wondering the reason why we can't go to the states once the visa is approved. I mean before actually moving there. I was going down to the states every other week until i got approved and now I can't go :( Also, was wondering about once you have moved, why it is we can't come back to visit unless we get our AP? Many people ask me why I can't go down before actually moving and why I can't come back up here. And I really don't have answer. I'm sure it will all make sense once someone tells me. lol or maybe not!!

Thanks :)

You're welcome to borrow my husband's explanation for these sorts of things:

It's just the way things *are*.

Why is it a one-time entry visa?

Why can't you leave the US and get back in until you have a Green Card?

It's the way the law was written!

You can tell them it's the same if your USC was immigrating to Canada. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it might make 'people' shut up. :P

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.
