    belinda63 got a reaction from Morningmist in LPR facing multiple aggravated felony charges   
    Very unlikely he will not be deported. You have to remember that we extradite suspected terrorist to countries where we know they will tortured. Even if they do not send him to his home country he will be made to leave the US. But that is something he will have years to prepare for. I wonder if they have Rosetta Stone in prison?

    belinda63 got a reaction from Amhara in AOS after arriving on a K1 visa   
    The K-1 required you to marry within 90 days of arrival. If you do this but file AOS late the only worry would be a possible expired medical.
    If you don't marry within 90 days your K-1 is no longer valid and you would have to do a concurrent adjustment of status filing (add the I-130 into the mix).

    Why would he have to go to his country?
    He would have to go because he has been deported.

    belinda63 reacted to We Keep Receipts in 7-Year-Old Texas Boy Who Donated Piggy Bank to Vandalized Mosque Gets Surprise   
    https://gma.yahoo.com/7-old-texas-boy-donated-piggy-bank-vandalized-175235198--abc-news-topstories.html
    The 7-year-old boy who donated all the money in his piggy bank to a mosque vandalized in Texas recently had his act of kindness returned.
    The young donor, Jack Swanson, went to the Islamic Center of Pflugerville last week after police reported that the mosque had been hit by a vandal who left torn pages of the Koran smeared with feces outside the entrance.
    Jack handed over all his money -- $20 he'd apparently been saving in the form of pennies to get an iPad --- according to Faisal Naeem, one of the mosque's board members.
    "Jack's $20 are worth $20 million to us because it's the thought that counts," Naeem told ABC News. "Jack is just a little older than my son, Ibrahim. If we have more kind-hearted kids like them in the world, I have hope for our future."

    She can divorce you as easily as you can divorce her. You can't stop a divorce. My divorce was final in December 1998 but we are still in court fighting over things as of this month.
    She can file for divorce and file to ROC with the waiver. If the divorce is not completed by the time she files she can request an extension by showing the filing of the paperwork with the court.
    She could also claim VAWA as you are using her immigration status to blackmail her into agreeing to your terms on the divorce.
    You cannot stop her ROC and you cannot get out of the I-864.
    Stop worrying about her immigration status and get your life together.
    And just because she may be in another country she still has the right to contest the division of the property and ask for spousal support. Don't think getting her out of the US will protect you in the divorce. Or if she stays and is not in status nothing will happen in divorce court, immigration isn't going to show up and arrest her, even if they do she can still contest the divorce from jail.

    belinda63 got a reaction from Elf in Wife arrived on January 27, 2014. Did not obtain work 'till March - Does she need to file 2014 taxes?   
    If she had income during the year and it is above the threshold for filing taxes she must file. She might want to file even if she did not meet the income threshold as she might get a refund.
    As I am typing this I am wondering why you didn't file jointly. Were you married to her on Dec 31, 2014?

    belinda63 got a reaction from tamcloud in AOS after arriving on a K1 visa   
    To meet the requirements of the K-1 visa you must marry within 90 days of arriving. Notice your I-94 gives you an authorized stay until February 10, 2016 (based on your post). That means if you remain in the US past this date without filing for AOS you will no longer be in legal status. Once the I-94 expires your receipt for filing the I-485 is proof of your legal status in the US until you either receive your green card or have your AOS denied.
    The advantage of filing for AOS as soon as possible after marriage is you can also include the application for a work permit and advance parole with it at no additional cost. Usually the EAD/AP card is received within 90 days of filing which means you can work and leave the country while waiting for the green card. I have read too many stories of people who didn't file AOS in a timely manner and had to leave the country for a family emergency and guess what? They now have to file for a spousal visa to be able to return. Also the financial benefits of being able work are nice.

    I haven't used tobacco in more than a year. I will admit I vape. I am a nicotine addict but I find the smell of cigarette smoke to be almost sickening now.
    The problem is everyone is so focused on smoking (and vaping) that they are losing sight of obesity becoming the number 1 killer.

    Most of it would hinge on his use of the US passport and how his presentation of himself as a US citizen would be perceived. I am of the opinion that he would have a life-time ban for entering the US claiming citizenship.

    The problem is you have to prove you have a valid relationship. How can you do that when you are living near each other but not with each other? Looks like it is a marriage for immigration purposes.

    I do not believe in a single word that your girlfriend is telling you.Man you have a CRAZY girlfriend to say the least. Your relationship has RED FLAGS for everyone. YOU should seek some help for yourself (psychotherapy) in ordee for you to develop skills of sef respect and self esteem.
    I am an attorney since 1989 and an advocate for victims of domestic violence,and let me tell you something,everything you described here I saw before, do not walk but RUN, your gf is not a victim here,she is VERY manipulative,and the divorce story is a complete bs.

    belinda63 got a reaction from mallafri76 in abandon K-1 and start spouse visa?   
    To do DCF you have to be a resident of the country for at least six months. Then you are looking at several months to get to the interview. If you file a spousal visa without being a resident of Mexico you are looking at about a year to the interview. So about the same length of time as if you moved to Mexico next week.
    Unless you have been married more than 2 years when he enters the US he will still get a 2 year green card and he will have to file to remove conditions.
    I guess your plan will work if you move to Mexico, marry, and live there for two years. Then you could file for DCF and he would get the 10 year green card when he enters the US. Problem there is you would have to sponsor with assets or find a sponsor and you would have to prove a domicile in the US.

    The visa is no good as soon as you entered the US. You need to go by the date on your I-94. You are given 90 days from your entry into the US. After those 90 days if you are still in the US and have not file for AOS you are out of status and subject to deportation.
    If the date on your I-94 has not passed and you have not committed any major crime your ex-fiance can do nothing to have you deported. If you do not marry then you have no way to obtain a green card without leaving the US.
