We are awaiting a K-3 Visa for my wife to come to USA. I've just received a NOA from Depart. Homeland Sec. confirming my sent I-130.Yesterday, we received the awful news that my wife has rheumatic heart failure.We're devastated. I have to go back to Philippines to support ourselves emotionally.Trouble doing so would mean being out of work in the states, thus ruining my status to show to the INS my financial ability to support her.I'm really beat up right now.Maybe I could ask family to help financially.Maybe a law maker could assist,I have no idea. If her health worsens,I'd rather she be in the states.I just feel helpless.Even if i act on what's in my character,it seems these actions would backfire the immigration mandates.I'm just overwhelmed.

i'm really sorry about your situation. it's my experience that the government doesn't care too much about our personal lives...especially in the visa process....but maybe if you could find some way to make this newsworthy, or speak with a congressperson, it could help. it's certainly worth a try. as far as financial issues....i believe someone else in your family could also act as a financial sponsor if you cannot. i would firstly make an appointment with immigration and update them on the situation to see what they would advise you to do.
as far as you wanting her to be here...unless she already has health insurance through your job, she won't get it now. i think it would be financially devistating for you to bring her here. health care is so expensive i doubt you would be able to do anything for her!
at any rate, talk to immigration first, and then try to get support from a congressperson, local news station, something. i wish the very best for you and your wife.

Yeh, Cornelius, I feel for ya.
Maybe you can keep your employment status proper by working for a contractor such as Brown & Root, Halliburton, or Blackwater. Contact these employers and see what they have for you in the Phillipines.
Also, contact INS and ask them these questions, calmly, in the spirit of problem solving.
Your idea of hiring an immigration lawyer is good too.
When my wife and I had immigration problems, we called and wrote our Congressman, Dick Whitfield of Kentucky. His office helped us get over bureaucratic hurdles. The result was my wife's paperwork came through in a timely fashion, and we are believers in that civic participation pays off.
I wish you the best of luck. Contact Don Young's office, if you live in Alaska. I'll be praying for you all. God bless.

Find out who your State Senator is and write to him/her. An e-mail will suffice. State your case in detail. His/her office may be of assistance to you and your spouse.
Good luck!
