lol, ive said what needed to be said, and i'll leave it at that. Just remember that you are not Captain America! Not everyone that airs their dirty laundry in the "most useless forum in CD" as you so eloquently put, is a pauper.

My husband is white. The difference between him and me didn't seem too big in the beginning, but now when we get into an argument I feel like we're always talking about completely different things.

The firm I was working for said they'll sponsor for my work visa and then added more and more requirement on my job. I started to complain at home that if I wanted that job at the firm I'd have to use a work visa, and the partners were use the visa as a leverage. How's how the whole visa/green card discussion started between me and my husband.
Ok, I mistook you were from Norway. Yikes

Chinese young girl. American male. Rich recipe for green card exploitation. I run into this pair way too often. Every marriage is a green card marriage which has dimmed my outlook on such deals. This man is "exploiting" you.

Why don't you leave this guy and listen to your parents? You keep getting a three year extension and if you have a good job, there is a higher category of green cards which is faster.

My parents DO NOT want me to live in anywhere but near them. I tried to stay away from them so that I'm not under their constant control. But right now for $$$ sake, I may have to kiss their ***** for quite a while to get everything back on track. I screwed up a year. Got a lot of catching up to do .

Thank you, believe.

The reason for my anger and perceived "bullying" on this thread is that way too many immigrants are exploiting the immigration system, which was designed for "truly skilled immigrants", and not for shortcuts and money scams. These people give ALL other honest immigrants a bad name

Ami, follow this table carefully.
Visa Bulletin For February 2012

You see the immense backlog for Chinese and Indian skilled immigrants. This category is seriously bloated.

Say if you get a job in 6 months, you need 3 years of experience before you can apply on the EB2 category. And if we project it for 2015, you will get you green card in 2017. If you go with EB3, it will take as late as 2027. That's the sad reality.

But since you're performing school here, there's a clause which says that that will enhance the chances.

All I am saying is, you need to use yourself to further you. Any other deal comes strapped with limitations and even danger. Now you have "married" some sick individual.

It's okay to kiss parents' a$$, rather than a man ho who trolls around craigslist.

I feel sorry for you because you seem like a very nice person and probably a loving wife. With that said, you have to see the whole situation the way we see it. He's not the guy you fell in love with and probably never will be. He'll never change and you'll never forgive him, that alone will doom the marriage. There's no trust and therefore, no future.

Forget all the reasons why you feel you need to stay. The fact is, he lied to you; cannot support you; derailed your career; bankrupted you; and basically used you. Don't worry what people think about your short marriage, it's nobody's business. Can you honestly spend the rest of your life with this guy? What makes you think he won't just create another email and go back to his old habits? Did you two meet on craigslist as well?

Again, serious offer.
Do we get to pick the country you'll send us to? I'm native born, but hey, I'll go if you set things up where I can have a good job elsewhere...and maybe summa that socialized medicine.

Sorry about digressing.
