Moving to the USA - Where is Thuong-chan?

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- We started the application for my Vietnamese wife's USA green card in January 2023. It took 1 year for USCIS to process her I130 and we just got an update with the next big part of her green card application and finally have a tentative date for her to move to the USA!

This whole visa application has taken way TOO LONG, but we FINALLY have a tentative date for Thuong-chan to be able to move to the USA! Hopefully the weather doesn't get too cold before she can come though...
It takes time under any normal process with the corona virus etc it caused many many delays I am very pleased now Thuong has a visa interview even though the time has been way to long as Thuong travels to USA as a good Vietnamese wife I am 100 percent sure she comes for her husband and this will be on her thoughts before during and after of traveling I have thought about 6 8 hour flights but a 25 hour flight I have made a dozen times I’d say they better feed her good !
Crazy that the government puts so many road blocks in the way of a young family.
Putting roadblocks in the way of ordinary people, whatever the issue, is just about the only thing government does consistently and efficiently.

Immigrants get a FREE PASS and help in payment for housing !!!😂😂😂
@@ctloo0808 exactly!
They have good content, both appear likeable and to me they seem quite friendly. The fact that they both have been expats from the mother countries for quite a long time and have attempted to be residents of several countries, should give you pause. I for one am glad that our Dept. of State is doing their jobs (which entails lengthy investigations) for our country's security. Gut feeling is that they will pass with flying colors but Investigation results take precedence.
@yoohoo909 yeah I see that it can be misused, but that it takes so long sounds harsh. But I have zero insight into the system.
Best of luck to you both! Love your channel and you two are made for each other!
Thank you! 😃
Nice to hear from you Cruise and the update. Looking forward to the next news on your application. It will be fun seeing Thoung's reaction to life in North America.
I know the pain. I did this whole process to bring my wife from Tokyo to USA. You two will be together soon. The whole process is definitely frustrating. It only took me 10 days to get a spousal visa in Japan. Big difference.
Same, our spousal visa for Japan and Vietnam was very quick
Congrats and excited for the both of you and seeing your new lives in the US and more traveling! My Japanese wife and I did the same fiance visa process 5 years ago. Greetings from SF! 🌉💌
It's taking long long time... 😲Hope Thuong chan has no problem with interviews at the end of October!! 🥺☺️
Too long 😔 thanks Tomoko!
We are waiting for Thuong to arrive in the US 🎉🎉
I am also curious to see the new house and the new bikes 🚲🚲
Better to show more of the house with her reaction 😃
@@TwoWheelCruise I agree 😁😁👍👍
I am happy for you both! Thuong is just in time for a Michigan winter 🤣
😂
Thanks for the update.
You may be tired, but well done you ! Getting closer and closer to top fitness !
I cannot wait to see you reunited at last and watch Thuong’s priceless reactions to living in the US. That visa application circus is borderline ridiculous and causes a lot of unfair stress and anxiety. Are US officials trying to pretend that their country is totally devoid of any health, financial or criminality problems ? Ridiculous !
Thank you!
Your wait isn’t that long honestly. She’ll be here before you know it. Good luck on the move!
Not too much longer now, thanks!
I hope she is able to adapt and be happy! The US is not an easy or mostly agreeable place to be nowadays!
Hopefully, things will change in November.
@@poyed88 like a magic light switch? Lol good luck in those beliefs
@@shinobusensui9395 Love your optimism.🥰
Will be waiting for a Day-twah area QOM update.
Haha she’s excited to start hunting
I know this visa things sucks. Keep your patience man, you both will be in States soon. ❤️✌🏾
Thanks!
Yes, it is a complicated, frustrating process, especially dealing with each country’s bureaucracy. In the end, it’s all worth it. Looking forward to seeing the Thuong arrival video. Blessings!
It would have been nice if Thuong could have been exposed to Michigan weather starting in August or September, rather than November. But I guess she’ll appreciate spring and summer more when it comes next year. Can’t wait to hear her reaction when she gets to Michigan in November and then the winter.
November and December aren’t too bad for the most part. I was hoping for September at first but oh well
A couple of catchy titles for her new channel, rather than something bland could be :
Good morning America
Thuong’s American world
Thanks for the ideas!
Your timeline is very close to the one my wife and I are experiencing…it seems as though a marriage visa is taking twice as long as a fiancé visa.
My wife is having her interview in late September, one suggestion would be to hold off on flying her back to the USA until March. Anyone moving from South East Asia will be in for a shock moving to North America in the winter.
You have 6 months from her interview to arrive in America
Yeah, the fiancé route is annoyingly way faster 😡 we might escape to the south for a bit during winter
since you're back to us looking forward to see more race recaps
I wish you both well and smooth sailing for these final steps. It will be fun for her to experience her first official American Thanksgiving with you there in the Midwest.
Thank you!
Best of luck to you & Thuong on your up-coming interview - pretty sure it will be fine ;))
Thank you! 😃
I guess you don't have to be present at the interview. has she ever experienced the cold, maybe in northern Japan
No I don't have to be there. She only experienced Nagoya and Gifu winters
Congratulations once again!good to know we the viewers in our household are very satisfied you’ll should be together soon in America a good place for good people as 2 wheel is soon transfered over the Pacific Ocean in a due east direction we will welcome Em thuong to America with great pride well that means or should be the Em thuong traveling to America for Cruise u tub.!
As we await all approval the way it may operate in this household though I strictly mention my wife may want to to send her congratulation’s possibly tracking you on flight aware all the way to America as she does her parents going and coming to Vietnam
G'luck and wish you guys the best! Christmas together... fingers crossed mate. Cheers!
Thank you! 😃
some legend says. the easiest migrate and got american citizenship is by moving to canada first. from canada then can move to europe or to usa more easy to get green card.
this is what i learn from many chinese who give advice from their perspective the chinese says to get green card in canada is very easy but for move to greek you need spend 250k euro for buying a house then greek will give you visa. many rich chinese migrate out of china and seek western citizenship. 2 country favorable is canada and greek.
I guess there are a couple different citizenship by investment options, but we are just doing it by marriage
It took over 4 years for my wife to come to the US and she is Canadian. It is a crap hole
😱 that’s insane
@@TwoWheelCruise I wish you a speedy approval. The interview is easy because you are a real couple the answers will be easy. Good luck
lovely news!
When she gets green card make a video "My Wife came to America driving bicykle from Vietnam."
Ha!
It will be so nice when she can get the US passport. My wife is Filipino and she was in the US with her resident alien card. Traveling with the Philippines passport was not easy. So she became a US citizen. She had been in the states for a few years before we met so the air wasn’t too long b
Should only take 3 years to get her US passport once she's here. Will be a game changer
Best of luck for both of you 🙏🙏🙏
Fingers crossed for an uneventful and speedy process..
Thanks!
it would be cool to see some house builds
Thank you for the latest update on wife's US application paperwork...
Thanks for following!
I'm amazed that waiting two years while doing everything 100% by the book just to have your own wife join you and live together with you seems acceptable to everyone. Seems absurd to me. Wish you all the best!
Thanks! 2 years is on the short end compared to what other people have to go through here
Thank you for the updates and of course we all in this household look forward to you’ll being together soon in USA we all miss thuong with you in u tubs TWC but understand your handling all with great care !I’ve mention that if all possible a u tub video of thuong traveling to USA it can be possibly titled Traveling For Cruise
Thanks Paul!
That's good news. btw, that fish might mean different in Japan, but in VIetnam it reminds me of fish icecream :).
The ice cream is based off of the Japanese snack "taiyaki" but it's nowhere near as good. There are a few fake taiyaki places in Da Nang that are OK
wish you all good luck
Thanks!
Was there any cultural conflict from your or her side of the family of your relationship?
Oh yeah
Nearly two years is crazy. I thought Australia's process was slow.
Great news! I have really enjoyed watching your channel and relationship with Thuong develop over the years. Best of luck in the future. Please inform the folks back home about the considerable challenges that the U.S. government imposes in obtaining visas for our spouses. The people responsible need to be called out.
Good to hear. Can't wait to see you together. Good luck :)
Can't wait for you guys to be reunited
Great news to hear. Not long to go now.
crossing my fingers that thuong passes her interview! really enjoyed your content together!
@@BundtsnBerries Thank you!
Best of luck guys you will get there. You're an honest quality couple who would be an asset as citizens to any country, been through the process down under and it's all worth it in the end, great channel you have many thanks for the content.
Much appreciated!
its just crazy apply for us green card legally takes so much time and those illegal immigrates takes no time
Directly related to the understaffing of people to process legal immigration
Thanks for the update! Cheers from Tampa Florida!
How is the economy nowadays in the US? Isn't it in a downwards term while Vietnam's is going upwards?
The economy is still growing, there’s some jobs data that is starting to look bad. But we’re unsure if we’re in a recession or not.
Stock market at all time high, unemployment low, growth projected at 3 percent, inflation beaten, crude at 70 $: it is morning in America 😎
@@theaveragejoe5781 lol right. Just like a rusty car full of bondo and a decent paintjob looks really good from 20 feet away, but once you start looking closer, you see the truth.
@@theaveragejoe5781 Okay, the current inflation is "beaten" but the past inflation has already accumulated on goods and the price of stuff won't go back to pre-inflation levels.
@TheGriffisz846 yep tend to agree. The only time there was a significant decline in prices in US was the great depression 😬
It's insane that an American citizen can't get a visa for their wife easily and quickly. You're too kind and understanding in your explanation.
It really is insane, especially since it took us less than a month in Japan and Vietnam and we're not even citizens there
Have her bike in from Mexico. She'll get a cell phone and credit card. Maybe even vote.
She can't even enter Mexico
Why do people keep thinking the US economy is downward. Yep inflation put a bite in some things but in general the economy, from jobs to wages to investment are as good as ever and much better than in europe or many places in asia. Also inflation while spurred by supply shocks is coming under control and was never anything like the stagflation of the late 70s and early 80s. It takes time to pull inflation down, nevertheless the market stayed hot and jobs kept flowing. Of course anecdotal evidence may be used by many to support claims the economy is bad but by any reasonable standard of inference the overall economy is in great shape. The bigger concern entails strategic behavior by oligopolies to move ever more toward monopoly and that will push prices higher than inflation. The FTC has an important role in stopping this and ensuring competition long term to keep wages and prices moving properly.
Not being able to pay your bills is anecdotal?
💯. income inequality is down as well. Stock market at all time high.
The explanation is that it is election season. Don't let I get you down. The same people that say the economy is down will flip in an instance once their candidate wins.
Gold disagrees..............
@@theaveragejoe5781 idk what candidate I have in the race as a European. I'm just in Discord channels with a bunch of Americans who keep talking about not being able to afford XY and how the cost of living skyrocketed in the past few years. These Discords are completely apolitical, just related to some of my hobbies.
When it comes to the illegal migration issue (as someone else has already mentioned it here), you should just take a look at how countries like Sweden/Germany are trying to rollback their similar lenient policies. That light handed way of handling illegal migration has already failed in multiple countries. This isn't my opinion, it's factual.
A couple things. (1) having a bad go of things is not mutually exclusive from the overall economy doing well. And that sucks if you're the one with not enough. Moreover some States can be doing much less well and see out-migration to where the jobs and cost of living are in shape. (2) Doing well today doesn't mean there won't be future downturns. The business cycle has always been there but we do have a better idea nowadays how to respond when there is a crisis. No single indicator can predict this, certainly not gold, which at best may capture some investors sentiments but not all and it is endogenous to lots of other stuff.
There are some future concerns. High interest rates put pressure on high government debt loads. Interest rates will fall but if wider conflicts emerge in the world disrupting supply chains, interest rates may rise again and the debt to GDP ratio may be a problem for financing both facing off in that conflict and public expenditures. On the other hand, this is hard to predict as it may not work that simply and increased investments could offset this concern. The point is next year the economy could struggle, indeed it likely has to cool a bit, but that is not the same as being on a bad trend in general. In fact, the last few years have been on average great. Level headed policy responses will be necessary to ensure future disruptions are managed as well as possible.
Unfortunately for Asia, while low hanging gains allowed speedy process even in the face of systematic corruption, longer term gains may become difficult. Corruption is at work in many places but there the levels of corruption that are tied between the political singular power bases many of those countries have, inevitably slow things down, which may be what has happened in China. Too complex to know for sure!
We literally have millions of people crossing the boarder illegally every day, why doesn't she just do that? She can also just come over and never go back
Lol, it is definitely not millions per day 😂
Because they have good reason and morals to do everything legally ... and also youtube. Those who never go back stereotypically disappear into the ether not broadcast themselves or their life regularly over the internet for tens of thousands to see or for Homeland Security to monitor.
Great idea… except we want to be able to leave and come back 😆
@@TwoWheelCruise I've had to shake my head quite a few times in this comment section. Anyways, congratulations! Hope it's not too cold for her. Midwestern winters are a shock to the system.
