    belinda63 got a reaction from FarrahIdir in Expedite for pregnant   
    I find it amazing that it was approved in less than two weeks. Normally they require 30 days to review the case. How exactly were you (or your SO) informed the expedite has been approved.

    1. yes. is a common thing in that part of town where you two visited. Young Dapper Men chase after the tourists.
    2. Well, you know the day of her next airplane flight. So, make sure you give her a pan of chocolate-exlax-imbued brownies within 12 hours of the departure time, she won't be able to leave the toilet room in time to get on the plane.

    belinda63 got a reaction from Amhara in Work Authorization between wedding and AOS   
    No once the first EAD expires (at the same time as the I-94) there is no way to extend it nor any other work authorization he could apply for except in conjunction with the AOS.

    Did your mother not plan this out when she left her minor kid to move to the US? Did she not read up on how this work? If you do a search here on vj you will find a bunch of similar threads. People want to move so badly they just up the leave their kids without thinking...

    For your dad it will take about 1 year. For your sister it will take about 23 years. If the sister is not married and remains single dad could petition for her after he becomes an LPR and the wait time would be about 10 years.

    Someone who is not even willing to support removal of your conditions is not worth staying married to. The foundation of marriage is not slavery and threats.

    belinda63 got a reaction from ali.cha in Help with possible divorce!!!   
    You have lived in the US for more than two years. You might get some alimony for a short period of time but the judge is going to want to know why you haven't been working since the family's financial situation is so tough. I suggest you start planning for way to live by yourself, supporting yourself. Even if you are awarded alimony you can't get blood from a stone, in other words if he has no money he can't give you any.
    As to gaining support via the I-864 you could sue him in federal court and in a few years might win, if you can afford the legal fees. Again it is doubtful the family court will award you much if any alimony for any extended length of time.

    If you can afford international tuition and support him while he lives here he can apply for a student visa. It will be hard since he doesn't have the equivalent of a high school diploma.

    belinda63 got a reaction from TBoneTX in street legal, "i want my lawyer"   
    In my experience Mac you are correct. But we do not live in a police state, I don't have to show my papers upon demand (unless driving or entering certain areas). I should be able to walk down the street without fear of being questioned. The police have become witch hunters, looking for ways to justify their job, their state and federal money, to steal money from people, etc. What about simple violations of the law that you aren't even aware of, such as in Kentucky you can be arrested for not updating the address on your driver's license. You get pulled over for failing to signal, give cop your license, he asked is this your current address, oh man no, I moved about 2 weeks ago and haven't had time to get it changed, guess what you could now go to jail, have your car towed, lose your job, etc.
    Never talk to the police.

    belinda63 got a reaction from TBoneTX in street legal, "i want my lawyer"   
    To answer Mac first: because cops lie (don't you read the news?) and they use the pretext of "you cooperating" to conduct illegal searches. Or they can lie or twist what you say. Who are you going to believe a person standing in handcuffs or a person in a police uniform Read about field drug tests showing illegal drugs when used on candy, or grass (as in from the lawn) being called marijuana.
    Simple answer: Am I free to go? Am I being detained? Most cops will simply refuse to answer either of these questions. So then the magical "I do not wish to say anything" comes into play. Then the cops say, oh you aren't under arrest I just want to talk to you, followed by you saying "am I free to go"....anyway you get the point. There is NO requirement to speak to the police at any time either when you are free or when you are being detained.

    It means her mother had no grounds to petition her because 1. her green card has been abandoned and 2. there is no family reunification because the mother does not live in the US.

    belinda63 got a reaction from mallafri76 in overstayed my B2 visa. New Citizenship now and planning to go back to US. But I'm not sure if they will know that I overstayed in my past Citizenship.   
    First the US knows you overstayed even if you "failed" to return your I-94. Computers are real good at tracking when people enter the US and when they leave. There have even been people who have been accused of leaving the US when they didn't just because they had a ticket which they did not lose.
    When you file for your new passport you will provide information about your prior names/places lived/ prior citizenships so all of that will be on file.
    You cannot change your fingerprints.
    You are welcome to try gaming the system if you are willing to accept the consequences. As of right now, even with a Swedish citizenship, you still have to apply for ESTA and you would either tell the truth or lie about your overstay. If you tell the truth you will need to apply for a visitor's visa. If you lie you run the risk of being denied the ESTA, being denied entry, or if successful, being denied at any time in the future if your deception is discovered and being given a life-time ban from entering the US and possible repercussions depending on the extent of your deception.

    belinda63 got a reaction from FarrahIdir in Visitor visa rejection for my in-laws?   
    A few things here:
    1. Off the main topic...how did your wife join the US army without being and LPR or USC?
    2. You can't count on how long your in-laws are permitted to stay. The maximum is 6 months but what if they are granted the visa and they are only given 1 month to visit?
    3. There are plenty of child care providers in the US either home-based, out of a day care center, or who will come to your home. To have someone come on a tourist visa to preclude the need to use this service is considered work.

    It doesn't matter that you have a new citizenship, new name, new husband, new passport. You are still the same person and you over stayed which makes you ineligible for the VWP at the moment. There's no way round that. Stop wondering if they will "find out", unless you want to make the situation worse for yourself. A B-2 is better than a ban or an arrest.

    belinda63 got a reaction from trublubu2 in When can and can't the beneficiary sue a joint sponsor?   
    It also has to do with how the business is set up. Some of them can be sued for personal debts of the owner some cannot. The joint sponsor can be sued in federal court but they must first sue the main sponsor. Then they would have to show they do not receive the amount awarded from the main sponsor and file a suit against the joint sponsor. This is true whether it is the government suing or the beneficiary. A very long and costly process if they decide to pursue it.
    Best advice would be to have the potential joint sponsor change the business to a type that is not liable for personal debts of the owner.

    I agree with cancel the AOS NOW!. As in stop reading this and write the letter withdrawing the I-864 right now. Mail it today, at the post office, return receipt or at least tracking. Make an infopass appointment and submit the same notarized letter there. Are you still reading and not doing.......do now finish reading later.
    She is milking you for all you have and when you have nothing left she will be gone. Really you paid for her apartment in another country, you are paying her credit card bills for her. She is taking you for a ride and laughing the whole way.
