Re: CR-1 Spouse visa approved today !

Someone already said this, but I didn't have to attend with my British husband.. it just felt like we had been a team all along and I wanted to go as well. Plus, it gave me the chance to explain the...

Re: ILR as returning resident / spouse

I called the UKBA helpline today to confirm, and the representative said that it was 3 years from when I was granted leave as a partner and that my time as a PSW doesn't count.

I know that the US...

Re: ILR as returning resident / spouse

Thanks for the reply. We were only married in March 2012, so I'd have to wait three years from then (or since ILR -- not sure).

I'm desperate to return to the US (albeit temporarily) for family...

Re: I-130 approved in less than 3 weeks?

I had another rant blurb about how the helpline told me I had to send the petition to Chicago even though we both live the UK.. and I'm pretty sure she was plain wrong.

I think this mistake actually...

Re: Annoyed that the visa helpline misled me..

I'm not sure - I tend to do that. However, I think that the forms had (at the time) expired and the new ones had not yet been published. I only asked about 3 questions.. and I thought confirming...

Annoyed that the visa helpline mislead me..

I just wanted to warn people to be very careful about the advice they get through the telephone helpline.

Re: AliciaPhil79's Proof of Domicile Questions

Thought I would mention this here as it is the most recent domicile post..
