8 C Dear Readers

In this issue we celebrate the courage and progress of African Americans and women two groups who have contributed immensely to the spirit and destiny of the United States Our regular column Visit the 50 States details the bravery of young African Americans living in Alabama who challenged racial segregation and discrimination in the face of devastating obstacles The courage of these brave Americans inspired the nationwide movement to end racial segregation Every February during African American History Month we honor the struggles incredible courage and successes of African Americans

Throughout March we also pay tribute to the extraordinary accomplishments and enormous progress of women This year we commemorate the 100th anniversary of International Womens Day Youll find in this issue the inspiring story of Ms Ghulam Sughra founder and chief executive officer of Marvi Rural Development Organization (MRDO) Ms Sughra is the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Secretary of States International Women of Courage Award which annually recognizes women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for womens rights and empowerment

Pictured on the cover is the newly-appointed US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Marc Grossman During his March 6-7 visit to Islamabad Ambassador Grossman met with President Asif All Zardari and Prime Minister YOlisafRaza Gilani to discuss Pakistan-US bilateral relations This was Ambassador Grossmans first trip to Pakistan since his appointment as special envoy A career diplomat Ambassador Grossman served for nearly thirty years as a Foreign Service Officer His first assignment was as Junior Officer in Islamabad where he served from 1977 to 1979 He later served as the Departments third highest-ranking official Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs a position he held from 2001 to 2005

I have to marvel at how I find that the similarities between Pakistanis and Americans just keep growing Millions of Americans have been glued to their televisions over the last few weeks as they watch the 10th Cricket World Cup As youll read in Cricket in America cricket is a more popular sport in the United States than people think I used to be a West Indies fan myself getting my first taste of cricket in the former British island of Barbados but now I am rooting for Pakistan to take home the 2011 World Cup

Vice President

Bidens visit

to Pakistan

Vice President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani held a joint news conference in Islamabad after meeting January 12 2011 Biden expressed deepest condolences over the assassination ofPunjab Provincial Governor Salman Taseer on January 4 saying there is no justification none for such senseless acts

As weve seen throughout history societies that tolerate such actions end up being consumed by those actions he said

Biden said the US remains committed to partnering with Pakistan to counter violent

extremists who violate Pakistans sovereignty and corrupt its good name He emphasized the shared US-Pakistan belief that violent extremists are a threat not just to the United States but to Pakistan as well and indeed to the entire civilized world

Biden reiterated Americas respect for religious diversity and freedom of religion and he spoke about the deep tradition of Islam in the United States challenging those who question the US commitment to religious freedom to name any other country in the world any country in the world where those of all faiths enjoy greater freedom of worship than they do in the United States of America

He added We are not the enemies of Islam and we embrace those who practice that great religion in our country

Gilani and Biden commended the USshyPakistan Strategic Dialogue which Biden said will benefit the people of Pakistan in areas such as energy agriculture and communications

This means that you will soon see more dams providing more electricity and irrigation crop yields that are higher more hospitals providing services to the people of Pakistan among other tangible benefits he said

As another example of the sustained USshyPakistan partnership the Vice President noted the United States has established the largest Fulbright program in the world in Pakistan calling it a long-term investment in the dynamism of young Pakistanis

Additionally he said the two countries have partnered recently through increased security cooperation and combined efforts to recover from Pakistans devastating floods in July 2010 The United States has committed nearly $600 million to flood recovery efforts and announced a new $190 million contribution for flood-affected families January 6The new commitment is funded through the Kerry-Lugar-Berman legislation with which the US Congress authorized $75 billion in assistance projects for Pakistan

Biden said a close partnership with Pakistan is vital to US interests and called on leaders of both countries to build on progress made in 2010 by rededicating to what still must be achieved together

We want what you want a strong stable prosperous democratic Pakistan at peace with itself and with its neighbors including India We want that not just for your sake but we wish your success because its in our own interest Its in the interest of the entire region and I would argue the entire world Biden said

When President Barack Obama addressed leaders of the US federal government on January 25 he fulfilled a constitutional obligation and followed a long-standing tradition of American presidents

The US Constitution requires that the president report to Congress from time to time on the State of the Union This constitutional requirement has evolved into the presidents annual State of the Union address which now serves several purposes The speech reports on the condition of the United States both domestically and internationally recommends a legislative agenda for the coming year and gives the president the opportunity to personally convey his vision for the nation

Below are excerpts from President Obamas State ofthe Union Address

Nations like China and India realized that with some

So yes the world has changed The competition for jobs is real But this shouldnt discourage us It should challenge us Remember - for all the hits weve taken these last few years for all the naysayers predicting our decline America still has the largest most prosperous economy in the world No workers are more productive than ours No country has more successful companies or grants more patents to inventors and entrepreneurs We are home to the worlds best colleges and universities where more students come to study than any other place on Earth

Our infrastructure used to be the best - but our lead has slipped South Korean homes now have greater internet access than we do Countries in Europe and Russia invest more in their roads and railways than we do China is building faster trains and newer airports Meanwhile when our own engineers graded our nations infrastructure they gave us a D

To help businesses sell more products abroad we set a goal of doubling our exports by 2014 - because the more we export the more jobs we create at home Already our exports are up Recently we signed agreements with India and China that will support more than 250000 jobs in the United States And last month we finalized a trade agreement with South Korea that will support at least 70000 American jobs This agreement has unprecedented support from business and labor Democrats and Republicans and I ask this Congress to pass it as soon as possible

Before I took office I made it clear that we would enforce our trade agreements and that I would only sign deals that keep faith with American workers and promote American jobs Thats what we did with Korea and thats what I intend to do as we pursue agreements

have left with their heads held high where American combat patrols have ended violence has come down and a new government has been formed This year our civilians will forge a lasting partnership with the Iraqi people while we finish the job ofbringing our troops out ofIraq Americas commitment has been kept the Iraq War is coming to an end

Of course as we speak al ~eda and their affiliates continue to plan attacks against us Thanks to our intelligence and law enforcement professionals we are disrupting plots and securing our cities and skies And as extremists try to inspire acts ofviolence within ollr borders we are responding with the strength of our communities with respect for the rule of law and with the conviction that American Muslims are a part of our American family

We have also taken the fight to al ~eda and their allies abroad In Mghanistan our troops have taken Taliban strongholds and trained Mghan Security Forces Our purpose is clear - by preventing the Taliban from reestablishing a stranglehold over the Mghan people we will deny al ~eda the safe-haven that served as a launching pad for 911

Thanks to our heroic troops and civilians fewer Mghans are under the control of the insurgency There will be tough fighting ahead and the Mghan government will need to deliver better governance But we are strengthening the capacity of the Mghan people and building an enduring partnership with them This year we will work with nearly 50 countries to begin a transition to an Mghan lead And this July we will begin to bring our troops home

In Pakistan al ~edas leadership is under more pressure than at any point since 2001 Their leaders and operatives are being removed from the battlefield Their safe-havens are shrinking And we have sent a message from the Mghan border to the Arabian Peninsula to all parts of the globe we will not relent we will not waver and we will defeat you

American leadership can also be seen in the effort to secure the worst weapons of war Because Republicans and Democrats approved the New START Treaty far fewer nuclear weapons and launchers will be deployed Because we rallied the world nuclear materials are being locked down on every continent so they never fall into the hands of terrorists

Something got into my head and turned my nerves to steeI - Ghulam Sughra IWOC recipient

International Jman ofCourage Ghlilam Slighra

For the last five years the US has awarded the International Women of Courage Award to recognize and honor women who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in promoting womens rights and advancement This year First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recognized Ghulam Sughra from Pakistan for her work to promote womens education and economic independence

Ms Sughra is a courageous advocate for womens rights in rural Pakistan She realized that ifwomen could contribute economically they would have more authority to allow their daughters to attend school Developing sources of income for local women was critical to their independence In 2001 she founded the Marvi Rural Development Organization (MRDO) a non-governmental organization focused on creating community savings funds and raising awareness of education health human rights and social development issues

As Secretary Clinton said at the ceremony on March 8 Ms Sughra has lived a life that demonstrates unequivocally that one person can make a difference In her village she stood up for her own rights and became the first woman to get a divorce Then she decided she wanted to fulfill her own dream and to become educated And then she decided she wanted to help others have the same opportunities So for sheer determination and strength to overcome poverty and gender discrimination and to help other rural women in your village and far beyond have a chance to be educated and to educate their children and to provide a better future to transform their own their lives we are so proud to present this award

Ms Sughra has also expanded her work far beyond her home village making a real impact on womens lives in the rural areas of Sind Punjab and Baluchistan provinces In coordination with community based organizations she assists women in remote villages to form their own support groups offers training to womens organizations and encourages development of community savings funds

Ms Sughra is one example of the inspiring female role models in Pakistan that are courageously working to eliminate gender-based violence improve education for girls and contribute to womens advancement all around the country

Black History Month was the inspiration of Carter G Woodson a noted scholar and historian who instituted Negro History Week in 1926 He chose the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionist Frederick Douglass The celebration was expanded to a month in 1976 the nations bicentennial President Gerald R Ford urged Americans to seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area ofendeavor throughout our history

In 2009 the inauguration of Barack Obama Americas first Mrican-American president lent Black History Month a special significance Obama took the oath of office January 20 the day after Americans honored the memory of Martin Luther King Jr with a federal holiday and national day ofservice In his inaugural address President Obama also acknowledged the historical importance of a moment in which a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath

Each year the US president honors Black History Month or Mrican-American History Month as it is also called with a proclamation and a celebration at the White House This years theme Mrican Americans and the Civil War invites us to reflect on 150 years since the start of the Civil War and on the patriots ofa young country who fought for the promises ofjustice and equality laid out by our forebearers

us Mosque Broadens Its Outreach and Community Involvement By Stemiddotve Holgate

Many things about a particular mosque in Portland Oregon fail to conform to popular images shared by most Americans A modest one-story building with its co-located community center it boasts no minaret or dome It has no high ceilings Ironically it is also located on a street named after a Baptist minister and civil rights leader the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King]r

The members of this mosque which is referred to as the Muslim Community Center can trace their institution back further than any other mosque in Portland Oregon And its story reflects the recent history ofIslam not only in its home city but in the United States changing from a community focused on racial separatism to one that is open to all

According to Shaheed Hamid the Muslim Community Centers imam the mosque was established in 1968 as part of the Nation of Islam an order that was then the most prominent Muslim group in the United States The Nation of Islam and its most famous follower Malcolm X preached a message of self-reliance and racial separatism

The members of the Portland community fit that mold at that

He says the mosque emphasizes that Islam is a peaceful religion Allah orders us to be just and to work toward bettering humanity Hamid says Thats Islam We recognize that some segments of the Muslim community work against this such as the Taliban and alshy~eda We see them as corrupting the message ofIslam

While the Muslim Community Center and its mosque may have been the first of their kind in Oregon they no longer are alone Since the 1980s a number ofother mosques have been established starting with one to serve Muslim university students in Portland Other mosques serve Turkish Yemeni and South Asian communities as well as others Relations among the mosques Hamid says are excellent He adds We are trying to be more visible to admit persons ofevery ethnic persuasion and racial hue Our services are open to all The Muslim Community Center and its mosque have come a long way from the days of separatism They have taken on an important and productive role in the larger community

The first Muslim in North America recorded by history is the early 16th-century Spanish explorer of Berber descent Estevanico of Azamor Historical records show that many African slaves brought to America also were probably Muslims Over the last hundred years the Muslim population ofthe United States has been growing steadily as the result of immigration and conversions An estimated one-third of American Muslims are African Americans who have converted to Islam and most of the rest are immigrants Muslims account for roughly 06 percent of the US adult population according to the Landscape Survey The survey found that Sunnis make up half of the total while the rest are Shiites and those who do not specify a denomination Most American Muslims live in the South and in the Northeast

FroID Drought to DrlalDi USAID Helps Farmers Survive by Applying Modern AQTicliliulal Methods

_J~ ~~~Iw _______

Fruit and nut orchards once carpeted the wide arid valleys of Balochistan However a persistent drought has transformed the province which comprises 44 percent of Pakistans territory but only five percent of its population

Orchards turned from green to gray and then finally to ashes as trees died and eventually were cut for wood to fuel cooking fires

While the rural populations along the border of Mghanistan eke

out their livings raising livestock and ti-lrr~l~~~~ growing cereals and crops like fruits vegetables and nuts they remain some Pi~~_ ofPakistans poorest inhabitants

Hit by a drought that began more than ten years ago many small-scale farmers have since been left without means to make a living Abdul Khaliq a 42shyyear-old farmer who has eight acres under irrigation and another four dependent on rain was among those severely affected

Abduls fortunes improved when USAIDs Assistance to Balochistan Border Areas project came to the village of Cheena Shajehan USAID introduced him to new agricultural practices better seeds and fruit trees and advanced irrigation methods to harness the limited water resources improving yields and incomes of rural farmers

During the drought my family wondered how we would make it said Khaliq a father of five 1 had to withdraw my children from school and we barely survived

USAID also helped form a community organization in his village That organization provided guidance on crops that produce high-value fruit but require less water Abdul is an active member of the organization which helped him purchase 300 high-quality almond plants at half of the regular cost and advised him on diversifying his farm to include improved varieties ofwheat

over 15 years old - in 95 locations throughout Pakistan The survey is one of the largest of its kind ever conducted according to an embassy press release

The survey results will replace outdated estimates of Pakistans TB burden provide a more precise picture of the TB burden within the adult population and help Pakistans health sector better assess the annual risk ofTB infection Current TB incidence rates in Pakistan are based on computer modeling and a survey conducted in 1987 that makes it difficult for the Pakistani government to accurately measure its progress in the fight against TB Talat said

The survey is off to a productive start According to preliminary reports Talat has received field work has been going very well and the community response has been very encouraging

While the data will support long-term public health decisions the effort also has an immediate positive effect on the populations well-being

Everyone who tests positive for TB is then referred to the nearest health facility for appropriate follow up and treatment

Talat said With more than 413000 new TB cases reported each year

Pakistan ranks eighth among the worlds 22 most highly TBshyburdened countries according to WHO TB kills an estimated 48000 Pakistanis each year

Compounding the issue multidrug-resistant TB struck Pakistan 13000 times in 2009 (Multidrug-resistant TB is a deadlier form of the disease where the majority of available TB drugs are ineffective) WHO ranks Pakistan sixth of27 countries battling multidrug-resistant TB

The US government has worked with Pakistan for many years to help control the spread of infection USAlD began supporting Pakistans effort to combat TB in 2003 primarily by providing assistance to the Pakistani governments National Tuberculosis Control Programme Talat said

Pakistan also receives approximately $202 million in additional TB resources from the Global Fund to Fight AlDS Tuberculosis and Malaria to which the United States is the largest contributor

A DEVASTATING GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS

TB infects an estimated one-third of the global population and approximately 17 million people worldwide died from the disease in 2009 according to TalatIt spreads easily through the air and a contagious person can infect 10 to 15 people every year People living in close quarters with others become especially vulnerable

Several agencies within the US government work to fight TB In 2008 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent about $160 million on TB research and ongoing NIH efforts complement those by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases and USAlD

USAlD has provided approximately $953 million through direct programs to improve TB services and prevent the spread of TB and multidrug-resistant TB in over 40 countriesTalat said

People have played cricket in the United States since the country was still a British colony The troops of our nations first president George Washington played cricket The grandfather of the nations third president Thomas Jefferson played cricket Today there are more than 100000 ac tive cricket players in America says Rohit Kulkarni director of a new docushymentary film Pitch of Dreams Cricket in America

After about 200 years since its introduction in the US cricket remains an underground movement - a well-kept sporting sec ret says Kulkarni 35 People from cricke t-playing countries when they think of the US they dont think of cricket They think of football and baseball and basketball No one thinks that people actually play cricket in the US

There are 15 million to 20 million cricket fans in the United States says John L Aaron executive secshyretary of the USA Cricket Association Many Aaron says are expatriates like him who grew up playing cricket Aaron grew up in Guyana where his father was a cricket commentator and his brother was once the captain of the national cricket team

In Fort Lauderdale Florida Kulka rni filmed the only Internatio nal Cricket Cou ncil- approved stadium in the United States In New York City he shot a nashytionwide kids cricket tourname nt In Philadelphia he went to a cricket library filled with historic bats and balls

As he made the film what surprised him most was the long history of cricket in the United States For example he says he didnt know that cricket once was played on the White H ouse lawn H e also was surshypri sed to learn that the three first members of the Nashytional Baseball Hall of Fame were also cricket players

Before baseball became baseball it was cricket Kulkarni says Cricket was the Number 1 team spo rt in the cou ntry Since the US was looking for its own identity I guess baseball evolved and cricket went down But thanks to the immigrant community crickshyet is coming back

When Kulkarni lived in Baltimore he watched the 2003 Cricket World Cup matches at Johns Hopshykins University with hundreds of other fan s

There used to be 400 students watching the cricket match he says There were people from Inshydia Paki stan Afghan istan - everyone getting toshygether ea ting and watching a cricket game throughshyout the night

Kulkarnis goal in making the film - which has been shown at film festivals in the United States shywas to raise awareness of the sport H e hopes that US networks such as ESPN or the H is tory Channel will show the film And he wants people who dont understand the game to learn the rules of how it played

So now if someone says I went to India and the only thing I saw on TV was cricket - what the hell is it I can say Take a copy of my documentary and youll understand he says

We are convinced that an open Internet fosters long-term peace progress and prosperity Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a speech on February 15 at George Washington University in Washington DC An Internet that can be blocked and censored she said can cut off opportunities for peace and progress and discourage innovation and entrepreneurship

Just over a year ago Secretary Clinton called for a global commitment to Internet Freedom Based on the universal human rights framework Internet Freedom - or as Secretary Clinton deemed it the freedom to connect applies the freedoms of assembly expression and association to cyberspace By preserving these rights in the digital era we preserve the promise and the possibility of the Internet as a platform for ideas innovation connection and economic growth Although internet connectivity in Pakistan is low--estimates put penetration at around 10oo--the opportunities for growth are evident

So how do we protect liberty and security uphold transparency and confidentiality and maintain freedom of expression while fostering tolerance and harmony

First too often liberty and security are seen as mutually exclusive but we must have both to have either both online and offline We are reminded daily ofboth the promise and the peril of the information age We must have enough security to enable our freedoms but not so much as to endanger them In the balance between liberty and security the fulcrum is the rule of law Our allegiance to it does not vanish in cyberspace and neither does our commitment to civil liberties The United States is equally determined to track and stop terrorists and criminals online and offline In both spheres we pursue this goal in accordance with our values

Second we must protect both transparency and confidentiality Transparency is critical We can and should give citizens information about their governments But confidentiality is also paramount It protects the ability of organizations and governments to carry out their missions and best serve the public interest

Third we must seek to protect free expression while at the same time fostering tolerance Just like a town square the Internet

is home to every kind of speech false offensive constructive and innovative With an online population of more than 2 billion people that is rapidly growing the varied nature of speech online will only proliferate

In accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights all people have the right to freedom of expression The challenge is to fulfill a commitment to freedom ofexpression online while emphasizing the importance of harnessing the capacity of the Internet to advance tolerance and peace The United States believes the best way to do this is to promote more speech not to limit it Exposing and challenging offensive speech rather than suppressing it allows for public scrutiny and response

As we move forward and the universal town square of the Internet continues to flourish the US government is confident that we can protect and advance the principles of liberty and security transparency and confidentiality and free speech and tolerance Together they comprise the foundation of a free and open Internet

The State of Alabama is located in the southern region of the United States and is nicknamed the Heart of Dixie The name Alabama is derived from the Choctaw Indian tribe whose habitat when it first became known to Europeans was in what is now central Alabama

Alabama is bordered by Tennessee to the north Georgia to the east Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Mississippi to the west

During the first half of the 19th century cotton and slave labor were central to Alabamas economy but the state faced many economic hardships In December 1955 Alabama was at the center of the American Civil Rights Movement after Rosa Parks a black seamstress famously refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger Parkss refusal was the catalyst for a yearlong Montgomery Bus Boycott during which African Americans in the city refused to ride public buses The Montgomery boycott is regarded as the first largeshyscale demonstration challenging segregation in the US The following year the US Supreme Court ordered Montgomery to integrate its bus system

Following the boycott however tensions between Whites and African Americans remained high resulting in numerous rallies demonstrations and acts of violence throughout the state of Alabama On September 151963 members of the Ku Klux Klan a White supremacist group set off a bomb in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Four young girls were killed The bombing sparked outrage across America and generated support for the civil rights cause which helped in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing segregation in

If your spouse or fiance (e) is an American citizen you may be eligible for an immigrant visa to the United States under one of the following categories

1 A Spouse Visa - IR -1 Visa or CR-1 Visa

Who is eligible

As a US citizen under US law you have the right to petition for your spollse But remember

Merely living together does not qualifY as a marriage for immigration

In cases of polygamy only the first spouse may qualifY as a spouse for immigration (and polygamy is illegal in the US)

Individuals married and divorced in Pakistan must properly register a divorce from a previous spouse according to Pakistani law (see the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 S7 N9) in order for US immigration law to recognize a marriage with a second spouse

If you have been married for less than two years when your spouse enters the United States on an immigrant visa the permanent resident status is considered conditional (CR-1) This means that you and your spouse must apply together to remove the conditional status after you have been married for two years Only then will you have a permanent right to remain in the US If you have already been married for more than two years when you enter the United States you will be granted full Legal Permanent Residence status (IR -1 visa)

But dont worry - your status will adjust automatically so the petition process is the same regardless of the amount of time you have been married

Who is noteligihle

First you must be in a legitimate relationship Marriages entered into simply for immigration purposes are not Itgal and will not be approved As for all categories of visas involvement in illegal activities makes you ineligible for a visa For example if you engaged in drug trafficking if you overstayed on a previous visa in the United States or if you submitted fraudulent dOCllments you could be ineligible for a vIsa

How long does this typically take

The length of time varies from case to case according to its circumstances and cannot be predicted for individual cases Some cases are delayed because applicants do not follow instructions or supply incomplete information It is very important to give us correct postal addresses and telephone numbers After the visa applicants interview by a Consular Officer some visa applications require further administrative processing which takes additional time (six months or longer) This process can neither be waived nor expedited

2 A v isaforyourfiance (e) (K-l visa)

Who is eligible

A Pakistani fiance (e) ofa US citizen who will be married in the US is eligible The US citizen and the visa applicant must be legally free to marry (ie not already married to anyone else) when they apply for the visa and must remain so until after they go to the US The marriage must be legally possible according to the laws of the US state in which the marriage will take place (States have different age requirements for marriage and in certain states first cousins cannot marry)

To be eligible for the visa you must have met your fiance (e) in person within the past two years Ifyou enter the US on a fiance (e) visa you must marry within 90 days

Who is not eligihk

In Pakistan ifyou have already signed your Nikkah Nama (the marriage contract) under US law you cannot apply for a fiance (e) visa In the Pakistani culture weddings are important events that are celebrated by many relatives and friends Therefore we find that most people get married in Pakistan After marriage they may not apply for a fiance (e) visa but they may apply for an IR-lCR-l visa to move to the US with their husband or wife

How long does this typically fake

The length of time varies from case to case according to its circumstances (see IR-l section for more details) Some people incorrectly believe that fiance (e) visas (K-l visas) are issued more quickly than spouse visas (CR-l IR-l visa) This is not true - circumstances other than the category of visa concerning each individual case affect the time period of visa issuance

already married is quicker and easier

Reality Many years ago the processing time for a fiance (c) visa was shorter than a CR-1 visa This is no longer true If you are already legally married in Pakistan you must apply for the correct visa category (a CR-1 or IR-1 visa) Ifyou attempt to apply for the wrong visa category you can 1) jeopardize your right to immigrate to the United States and 2) further delay the processing of your case

Myth 2 I shollidjust go to the United States on a tourist visa andget married there to circumvent the immigration process

Reality A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to the US port-of-entry and request permission to enter the United States You should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the US The immigration officials at the port-ofshyentry have authority to permit or deny admission to the US If they suspect that you are attempting to immigrate to the United States on a tourist visa they have the authority to deny you admission If you do enter the United States on a tourist visa and get married you may still encounter difficulties when you attempt to adjust your status to become a legal permanent resident and you risk deportation

Myth 3 Once I enter the US on a fiance (e) visa I am a Legal Permanent Resident

Reality If you enter the US on a fiance (e) visa you must marry within 90 days Ifyou do not you must leave the United States Otherwise you will be in violation ofUS Immigration Law and subject to deportation After your marriage you may apply for Legal Permanent Residence However before that time you are not a Legal Permanent Resident

Myth 4 The processing time for an LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) spouse visa (F2A) is ahout the same as the spouse visa for an American citizen (IR-1 or CR-1)

Reality Each month the US Embassy is informed by US colleagues in Washington DC of how many F2A visas may be issued based on a cases priority date (the date when the petition is filed) Currently (as of April 2011) only F2A petitions filed before 1-Apr-2007 are permitted to be processed While this number changes month to month this means that more recently filed petitions are on hold Even if you already completed your interview your visa cannot be issued until your case becomes current - (permission is granted to process visa with your petitions priority date)

Additional Information No matter which visa category you apply for the best way

to ensure that your application is processed in a timely matter is by providing all requested information in a timely manner Advice that we give to all petitioners and applicants is

1) Be prepared - submit all requested documents and reply in a timely manner to all requests

2) Be honest - it will take longer and may be ineligible for a visa if you try to hide something from your past (ie divorces previous visits to the US deportation arrests etc)

3) Be patient - this is a timely process that takes more than one year in even the fastest cases
