Hoooly my blood boiled. Like fuck EVERYONE can be a bad person. I fucking hate anecdotes. People let their emotions rule their decisions and it's the stupidest thing imo. /end

Re: Legalization through marriage

No, my spouse's relatives were never contacted. We only mentioned them in the interview and that was through stories. I imagine they'd only be involved if you need a sponsor or like you said, on a...

Think of her portion of child support as the cost of raising the kid less the biological father's contribution. Depending on how their divorce went, and how your marriage agreement comes to be, the...

Re: LIFE DECISION! HELP!! Marrying a CITIZEN.. she's a single mother

If you married her, your assets and income are combined and so her portion of the child support can increase. For you, this means that you may have to help her pay up.

Nope, mine is expiring next week on 10/21.

Re: Should I go abroad or wait?

Don't keep arguing with him - if it offends you, ignore it. It's his opinion.

Agree with g33k because the status adjustment would go further than DACA, imo. Is the $5500 lawyer quote already the lowest cost? There may be a low cost legal clinic around your area.
