Well now, since I'm an old married woman, you can rest easy. I won't be asking you for your test results ;-)
Look at it this way, a little overkill will keep you from being killed.

Re: AOS Case Denial
Yeah Rete still trying to take all of it in right now will probably take me a couple of days for it too really hit me. Once it does then I will be able to deal with this alot better then I am right now. But as I said I will be contacting the charities tomorrow. I also emailed the AILA and a gentlemen got back to me saying that he doesn't think there is an immigration attorney in Houston that will take payments instead of the money upfront. So that is a no go for right now.

Tell you what; I would be happy to spend a few minutes with you on the phone, looking in my AILA directory, in order to give you the names and numbers of a few AILA members in your area you can call directly to see if they can help you (and their fees and payment options).
I'm going home now, but try me tomorrow afternoon, Pacific time, and I'll be happy to do this for you.

I'll probably tell her to call one particular agency first, that deals with lots of battered spouse cases as they will probably know right off the bat if this sort of argument has been successfully used before. And again, I would think one has to take into consideration the damages caused to her, not just the cruelty exhibited by him.

Re: AOS Case Denial
I'm new to this forum (just started the DCF process from Madrid for my spouse, I am a USC). And I felt so touched by your story, I'm so sorry that your situtation is as it is.
If this helps, here are my two cents worth. Since you are married, I think there may be a possiblilty that you can get a waiver if you can prove that your spouse has treated you badly (physically, abandonment etc.). This will probably require $$$ to hire an attorney and to produce evidence of abuse, if any.
I do know in recent years that the US has gotten very serious about abused spouses that are not USCs(and by abused I don't mean necessarily physcial. Mental, emotional, abandonment are also considered equally).
Here is the website to look into. Read it through. I think this could help you. There is even a deffered deportation clause, if you have overstayed.

But here is a portion of the letter that I scanned.

Re: AOS Case Denial
Mr Udall thank you so very much for the number you provided for me, I will try them first thing in the morning and see what they say.
Again from the bottom of my heart thank you. I know you said it may not help but as I said anything right now avaiable to me is better then having what I have right now which is virtually nothing.
Your a good man and god bless
