A friend of mine is married to a Thai National and they have their first interview on September 12th. It's not a fraudulent marriage but they're still both very concerned about what happens if the INS agent deems them a failure. Do they get a second chance or will it immediately be deemed a fraud and the husband deported? You see movies like ';The Proposal'; and it makes you wonder! We're all just really wondering about what procedures are. Thanks!What happens if a married couple fails their INS interview?
the best thing to do is hire agood lawyer if u worry lawyer attend with u the interview in case of any illegal question or the husband and wife cant answer a question dnt worry its hard in the begging but will be easy after that if they trust on themself and their marriage
USA open their arms to immigrants who respect the law and work hard immigration donot deport u from the interview to the airoplane if u failed u fight for it good luckWhat happens if a married couple fails their INS interview?
If the couples fails INS interview, they don't get the second the second chance it will immediately be deemed a fraud and obviously the husband will be deported.
They are worrying over nothing ..if its genuine and the paperwork is all correct they will pass

What should my filing status be for taxes if i am married to an illegal immigrant who can't file?
I am married to an illegal, and what to file my taxes. Should I file Head of Household or single? I have 2 children that are my dependents. Thanks!!What should my filing status be for taxes if i am married to an illegal immigrant who can't file?
I had this situation last year. What I ended up doing was declaring myself Married, Filing Separately.What should my filing status be for taxes if i am married to an illegal immigrant who can't file?
First, you must determine if your spouse is a resident alien for tax purposes or a non-resident. The fact he is not documented (the IRS doesn't use the word illegal) does not automatically mean he is a non-resident alien. If he lives in the US and particularly if he lives with you, he's probably a resident alien under the 183 day test.
Second you have to decide if you *want* to file together.
You can only file HOH if a) does not live with you (resident or not) at all from 7/1 to 12/31 or b) he's a non-resident and does live with you, but the HOH in this case is only for the standard exemption amount, it does NOT entitle you to EIC.
Alternately, since *you* are a US citizen, the TWO of you can file Married Filing Jointly. If he's a non-resident, you simply elect to treat him as a resident and file the return. Since he doesn't have an SSN, again, you are NOT eligible for EIC, but you would get a) the MFJ standard deduction, b) his $3400 exemption and c) better tax rates. This would require that you attach a W-7 form to the tax return to get an EIN. If he has somehow managed to work, you include his worldwide income.
Or, if he has ZERO US source income, you can file MFS and claim his exemption (this is when he doesn't want to file with you or has income from another country). Add the W-7 and file.
Or, if all else fails, you can file MFS, attach a note saying you can't do the W-7 form at this time and send the return to the service center.
Let me stress this again, if he lives with you, you cannot claim EIC. If he lives with you say 2 months out of the year, you may be able to file HOH, but again no EIC. If he lived with you most or all of the year, he's resident and you MUST file MFJ or MFS...and again no EIC.

When should we start teaching our kids that they must wait to get married?
My daughter watches TV and movies where they glorify marriage but I want my daughter to focus only on school untill she has obtained her career goals. I dont even want her dating.When should we start teaching our kids that they must wait to get married?
I've been telling my daughter since she was old enough to listen. She's 13 now (almost 14). She is not boy crazy.... she is always talking about her life and the career she wants. She wants to be a vet and is involved in 4-H as well as takes very good care of all her animals (4 guinea pigs, a cat, a dog). She doesn't like to dress like a hoochie and is disgusted with girls who do. She doesn't wear make up and doesn't ask to either.
I have been talking to her her whole life about waiting to get married until she has a career and a home of her own. No sex either! I haven't spared her any details and she is a really focused kid for her age. I don't know why it's working, but it's working and I am thankful!When should we start teaching our kids that they must wait to get married?
As early as she can understand which for some is 3 and 4. We encourage abstinence until marriage and we started this young. My 4 year old has been taught mommys and daddys that got married should have babies because he sees alot of his teen cousins with kids. As our older boys grow up we tell them that good grades is what gets them to college and college needs to be the main focus in their life until they graduate from it.
well you can't stop love from happening when it's meant to happen it will. You also can't put your daughter in a bubble and expect her to not date. You sound extremely strict, and that will only encourage her to do the very things you don't want her doing, only she'll be doing them behind your back instead of without your knowledge. So impart your wisdom to her, teach her values, morals, and how to rely on herself, and then when the time comes, trust her to make the right decisions for her life. It's not your life and you can't live it for her.
how old is your daughter anyway?
You should sit her down and talk to her about it in a time where she is not occupied with anything else like; (school,friends,etc.)
Hopes this Help!
What if her career goals are to become a sahm?
Anyway, I think early marriage can be good for her education and career... that way she won't be distracted by all the boys all the time, waste time dating and going out getting drunk at bars etc. Once you're married you don't have to care about the latest fashion etc. Being married really saves a ton of time that can be spent on education. It's also safer because you won't risk STDs, date rape, stalkers, etc.
Honestly from experience I think you should teach your child this value, but not drill it into her head. If you're too strict about dating this will seem to her that you don't trust her decision making. Praise her when she does well in school, help her with her work, and show her you value education and learning new things through example. If your too strict and preach too much, she will rebel.
That's a decision your daughter has to make on her own. Marriage doesn't have to mean the end of her education and career goals. And what if her goals are to get married and have kids? Would you want her to wait till she's 30 to get married and 35 to have her first kid?
You're trying to force your opinions of sexuality onto her. Better is to set an example and explain to her the dangers of sex - VD, Gonnorhea, Syphilis, HIV, etc. Think of it like trying to get her to stop smoking or overeat by setting an example.
However rading hormones in a teenager are difficult to quell. In that case, explain to her that if she MUST experiment with sex, then birth control is the KEY!
Don't be ignorant and ignore the possibilities of her having sex. You cannot keep your eyes on her 24/7! Thus it's smart and wise to explain to her the ideas behind birth control. 'No glove, no love' sort of thing.
Be proactive and NOT reactive like most of our parents were while we grew up.
I'm Not Sure How Old Everyone Else Is That Answered, But I'm 23 And I Can Tell You Honestly...
You Can't!!!
They're Going To Have To Make The Decision On Their Own... I Dated In High School, But I Didn't Want A Baby Then So I Waited Until I Was In Grade 12 To Have Sex. I Was In Long Relationships All Through High School And Broke Up With One Guy Because He Wanted To have Sex And Tried To Push Me TO Do It... I Dated Jocks And Preppy Guys And He Was The ONLY One Who Tried To Push Me.
I've Been With My Boyfriend For 5 Years Now, We Bought Our First House 3 Years Ago And Are Expecting Our First Child This Fall... However, We Are Still NOT Married... We'd Like To Get Married, But It Seems A Little Expensive For A Piece Of Paper To Say We Are:)
Good Luck With Your Daughter...
Well teaching our children the main priorities on when to get married, comes best the soon as their first love. Once their she can understand where love can take someone, if not in love she will simply answer OH I WILL NEVER MARRY SOME GUY!!!! (I said that once.) Start talking to her about that, you will put her on the right track.
You should point out the divorce rate and domestic violence showing that marriage is often not what its cracked up to be and only glorified going steady.
Dont want her dating... Tuff titty mate.
Shes human, she will have hormones, feelings, emotions, needs , desires.
Will like guys and want to be with some and hopefuly somone specail.
You cant fight nature... doing so will only damage her and you realtioship and make her more likly to get pregnant and drop grades.
You need to instead help her all you can to be able to form realtioships that works out nicely and to balance that with school work and obtaining those career goals and forming realtioships.
You need her to understand that things like bjs etc are all part of affection and all she needs to know sex ed wiase to avoi getting pregnant whilst it gets done.
Or you wind up with a heavily tramatised girl with annorexia, bulemia, self harming, utting herself and suicdal and kiss goodby then to said career goals.
Shes a human being not a robot mate.
she will have feelings not a data absorbing robot
This is a battle you cannot win.
All you can do is help her find success in sex and realtionships and how to balance this with education and work...
the more successful she is the less stress and less effort need which will leave that mauch more time and enegy to study
Why don't you just let her be what she is. Maybe an early marriage is good for her. Maybe she'll grow out of the idea herself. Maybe if you make this an issue, it will stick and she will rebel against you.
That's funny: glorifying marriage in the media. That's a change. I thought Westerners were for the most part angry and frustrated over marriage.
You don't want her dating? Don't be so chauvinistic.
Again, you better watch what you show to this girl, because she'll pick up on it. Your ideas could be your downfall.

I am applying for a UK spouse visa. How early am I able to fill the form out online before I am married?
I want to fill the application out online so I can schedule my biometrics appointment. Not knowing when that appointment will be is hindering us from planning our honeymoon or when I will fly to the UK with my husband. Any suggestions? I was told I can fill it out before the wedding, but I am not sure how early? Then after I am married I will send it all in with the appropriate forms and I assume this would be when the actual application process starts?I am applying for a UK spouse visa. How early am I able to fill the form out online before I am married?
To clarify, are you getting married in the UK? If so, you will need to apply for a fiance visa, not a spouse visa.
If you are getting married elsewhere, your future husband (and maybe you too, depending on the country and your citizenship) will need a visa (from whichever country you are getting married in). This is usually called a marriage visitor visa or something of that nature. If you take this route, you will not be able to enter the UK until the spouse visa has been issued (can take up to 3 months).
But I have no idea whether you are able to fill in the application before you actually get married.I am applying for a UK spouse visa. How early am I able to fill the form out online before I am married?
You cannot apply for a spouse visa until AFTER your wedding. Hence the name SPOUSE visa. You are not married yet so any questions you answers on the visa pertaining to your wedding would be a lie.
The process starts the second the application is filed out. You schedule your biometrics after the appointment. Appointments are available as soon as the next day ( in my case it was ) and some take months. Once biometrics are completed, you have 14 days to send in all the appropriate documents including the visa application itself. Again, let me repeat... YOU DO NOT FILL OUT THE APPLICATION BEFORE THE MARRIAGE.
The whole process should be painless. My visa was issued the same exact day it was sent to the consulate. The longest part of the process was waiting for my husband to mail me his bank statements, which took a week. Other than that, I had my visa pronto. You need to make sure you follow the process correctly in order for it to be issued. You cannot fill out an application for a married woman, when you arent married.
You file for a fiance visa before you are married.
A spousal visa is for after you are married.
Not sure which country you are from, but if you are in America, then it takes less than 3 months for visa's to the UK to be processed.

How crazy is it to get married at 18?
I would be 20 and she would be 18, but we have dated for about 4 years total. What do you think?How crazy is it to get married at 18?
For me, getting married at 18 and 20 is EXACTLY the same ages me and my husband got married. From my experience we just had to ask ourselves if we were really ready for that kind of commitment...we both knew what we were getting into, but at the same time experienced a lot of different situations we never knew as a young married couple. So from my perspective, if the both of u feel ready and love each other and are ready to settle/commit to each other then by all means...go for it. I dont think its that crazy to get married that young depending on you and ur possible future wife. Sometimes you have to shut out everyone else's opinions about ur relationship and really think for yourselves if that is really what you want at this time.How crazy is it to get married at 18?
I knew older people who were married at 19 or 20 and spent their whole lives together happy. So don't think it's crazy all by itself. You must be of one mind and heart about things. In my opinion the perfect life dream is to have one's true love young and enjoy all the great milestones of life with eachother.
I think is really young.. but a majority of people get married at least when they're 21 and thats rly young. You are too young to get marriend and so ur g/f.
Have you ever considered this:
- job? u r probably still in college?
- you need money to rise your g/f
- baby?? what r u gonna do with it?
- can u handle a high pitch cry from baby?
- can your g/f handle having a child at young age?
- can u drive?
- have u go to uni to get a great job?
- can u take care of yourself?
- Do u have enough money to rise ur family now?
there is much more than that think about it... u still have a lot of thing to think about at such a young age...
Do you both have good steady jobs? have you travelled? have you done the things you have always wanted to do? can you afford committments of renting or paying off a house?
Have fun first, just wait a little longer!
it's not crazy if you guys love each other.
My boyfriend and I are 16, and we plan on getting married asap.
I'm also pregnant.
i think it is crazy but it has worked out for some ppl even when they got married younger. I think it depends on the ppl involved!
as long as you both no ur love dats all that matters. age is just a number. also b romantic and ask her parents 4 her hand lol its cute =D
gud luck u seem like 1 of those gud guys :)
...if you have to ask....
but seriously, i don't see how it's ';crazy';
i think you should wait till your atleast 22? 24?
