Actually, this doesn't sound bad at all -- insha'allah everything will be fine. Hopefully you'll have an update from him soon, and it will be good news.

Sending you lots of good luck and especially lots of MENA MOJO !!!

Inchallah, you'll hear some good news from him today!

I'm hoping that all goes well!!!

Awwh sweetie I've been doing the same thing for the last three days- And what's worst Tunisia was having some kind of mobile network problem so I just kept getting the same message, first in Arabic and then in French that Tunisiana Network was not available and please try my call again later - I know it is sooo frustrating but I really hope that he will be out soon and have great news to share with you!!! I'm praying right now at work - Just breathe and I"m sure it's going to be just fine, Inshallah.

i truly thank you with all my heart . my best wishhes to u , plz pray for us .....insha allah ,

I hope you hear good news soon!!!

salam allaikum ,, tysm ,, good luck to u as well.. masalama..

You have God on your side and all these MENA gals behind you - We are all rooting for you!! I can't wait to see the post that he's got good news for you!!

Stay positive and have faith insha Allah he will come with good news

he was denied ... from an incident that occurred in germany where he over stayyed his visa after a divorce ..... so im headded to morocco ,, thx anyways . may god b with u , insha allah ,, and take care ,,,, masalama

OMG I am so sorry to hear that Is it something that you'd be able to contest? I hope that you have a safe trip to Morocco - Maybe if you make an appointment to go to the Embassy and talk to the Consular you can get something worked out. Again I am very sorry and wishing and hoping that you both find a way!!

i ty so much anyways but my fiance was denied for 2 more years . so im off to morocco to be with my husband . i wish u the best and may ALLAH (swt) b with u on your journey.....masalama

I'm so very sorry but maybe all hope is not lost yet? Some others on here have had their petitions denied and eventually got approved. Whatever you decide to do I wish you the best.

Yes this is very normal and most of us have been through it, you will be fine Insha-Allah just BELIEVE with all your heart and it will be all right. I have see a pattern of almosy 99% visa issuance after 2nd interview - don't worry too much and pray to Allah. I am much of a worry wart too...but its not the right thing to do.
My hsuband was sent back 3 times without visa....I would be very thankful for a second interview and I believe this is good news for you.
Tell ur fiance to breath, he will do great.

Tammy

salam allaikum all ,,,, my fiance was denied , due to his police background in germany where he stayyed for 7 years . he over stayyed his visa and was givven 72 hours to leave . that was 8 yrs ago . so , im now all packked and will be leavving soon to join my fiance in khemisset morocco . everyone thought that since he didnt break any american immigration laws, and that he left when he was told too , that all would be good here . its ok though , alhamdolillah . i believe ALLAH (swt) has intentions for us all . and his mother is very old and needs her son and i to care for her .maybe this is our plan . our destiny.....i wish each and every one of you the best and ill keep you all in my prayyers , as well as in my heart . and , to all my friends i met here ,, bon voyage ...lol ,, its ok , really , i do feel at ease finally with theyre decision .....the only hard part is sayying goodbye to my family . i have 3 kids they r oldder , im most worried about my daughter ashley whom, is 21 years old . she has my grandson armani , whom is 5 ....i may never see my parents again , since my father is a diabetic and had a stroke 2 yrs ago . but they have much understandding for my fiance and i . only my 3 daughters feel they r loosing theyre mom ...any advise for me to give to my girls and grandson will be much appreciatted , insha allah ,,, ill still talk with some of you from morocco , and again ,, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEYS .......... masalama

I dont know your case or details but i wouldnt hurry this decision, sometimes there are things that can be done to change the outcome of a first denial

Please check out all options before moving. It's easier to do from here then from there.

Whatever the final outcome, I wish you many blessings in the future.

Sorry to hear this! From what I've read here on VJ, I was also under the impression that overstays in other countries would have no bearing on the U.S. visa process.

Was your fiance told to file a waiver?

Yes please don't take any rash actions. You don't want to be left with nothing, or nothing working in the end. Marriage is to be beneficial to both parties and their families. I'm 21 years old and I'd be devastated if my mother left abroad with somebody else. I'd def try to contact your senator of you state or call the embassy abroad to work things out.

That was my thought too. Can't you overcome this with a waiver? Not my specialty but there is a forum for this.

Whatever your choice, good luck.

salam allaykum all, i postted in the new topics and im postting here now . i have been with VJ for 1 year , but with my fiance for 4 .. he was just interviewwed for the 2nd time and was told sorry , but NO ...... so , im off now to morocco , it wasnt hard to make this decision for me . i have been packked and ready to join my husband for a long time now . its just sayying goodbyes to my family and to my 3 daughters and grandson .my daughter ashley is takking it the harddest . she is 21 yrs old and has a 5 yr old son . i am tryying to find the most comfortting words to say to her , but this is 1 of the harddest choicces of my life. the reason my fiance was denied is that he overstayyed his visa in germany and was deportted . that makes it impossible to get a usa visa for 10 years .its been 8 . i havent said anything yet to my parents or my sisters and many many neices and nephews , cousins , aunts , and uncles , and grandparents .i am italian , and have a very large family .lol ... but i think this is a sign of ALLAH (swt) . my destiny is my husband and of course my family is very important to me . they will have my # to call me . but as for my daughters and grandson , how do u find the right words to say goodbye??????????????i wish all of you the best , and i pray that this dont happen to you as it did for us .ill still like to speak to you from morocco , insha allah .. take care all and good luck again , masalama.....

How does your family feel about you living in Morocco?

im so sorry he got denied! but u re right Allah knows best and may be this is the good for u both.... just make sure u rethink about everything one final time and weigh things out..... i can only pray for u Allah wd support u ;bless u and ur family and keep u safe and healthy and increase ur faith ameeen

we have weighhed all options , this is the last resort. something else happenned in germany thats on his police document but that was 8 yrs ago , my husband has never done drugs but he was in a vehicle with friends that 1 was in possession of marijuana ,, thats another thing on his police report , so we have made the decision that we are going to marry there in morocco , and then do the visa process again in 2-3 years when he will possibly be eligible again .....insha allah . but he is a wonderful man with a kind heart , and he cant change what happenned 8 yrs ago , so we must sacrifice to be together . i didnt mean to go into detail regardding the incident in germany , i only wantted to make it clear . thx again

Oh, KimberlyAnne, i'm so sorry to hear this news! But i am inspired by your strength and matter-of-factness, and of course, knowledge is power... at least you KNOW something now, and you can make decisions based on this...

i do, however, agree with the rest of the bunch. Are you sure you just want to up and move to Morocco? You can still overturn this decision, especially if it is just the case of a misplaced waiver.

Also, i do believe, (please someone correct me if i'm wrong), that if you are denied, you need to address the denial in some written form before you let the K-1 petition expire? i believe you need to address the denial, so if, some day in the furture, you decide to re-petition with a K3 or CR visa, you will not be denied again. Has anyone else heard of this, and if so, can you help elaborate because i'm not explaining right?

Whatever you decide, i wish you the best of luck. Stay strong. Inchallah, everything will work out for you and your habeeb.

M3 asalaama,

salam , and tysm for your wonderful reply i am a muslimah , subhan allah ,, and i will be strong knowwing that this is my destiny . i only wish the best for you and all others ..........beslama

I wish you peace with your decision. You don't have to say goodbye to your daughters, just see you later. You can visit and they can visit, so it is not goodbye. It will be hard on everyone and a big adjustment, but you can make it work.

As to your husband's situation, under current laws any drug related conviction with the exception of a single conviction for possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana is not waivable for an immigrant visa. There is no waiver and it is a permanent inadmissibility.

If it falls within that exception, he would be eligible to file a waiver NOW, no need to wait. If it does not fall within that exception, without a change in the law, he would never be issued an immigrant visa but he could potentially receive a non-immigrant (like B2) with a waiver (212(d)(3)/ I-192). That would require him proving he did not have immigrant intent and showing ties to his country.

I am not aware of any case where a deportation from a foreign country would require a 10 year wait for a US visa. More likely, it is the drug related incident, which I am assuming resulted in a conviction of some kind appearing on his record, that is causing the problem.

Beyond that, the work American Families United is doing with lobby efforts in Congress to change the way waivers are handled for spouses of citizens and LPRs would help, once we get it passed. If you are interested in helping that effort, check out www.americanfamiliesunited.org.

I with you luck and happiness in whatever road you choose.

salam allaikum ,,, i tysm for the information you sent me , it helps tremendously . alhamdolillah .... also it was a very small amount and not on his possession but on the possession of 1 of the friends in the car . but , they chargged all 3 of them with it . he did mention to me as readding the letter about the 212, so i know that you know what your talkking about . plz keep my email address lhoussine_kimberly@yahoo.com , and lets add 1 another , as i will b leavving to morocco mid-july or 1st week of augaust.my passport was stollen so i have to go tomorrow for a new 1 , and tie up my personal matters here in USA . my daughter is doing much better for now . and they will also be able to call me and see me by cam and computer . my fiance has computer and internet in the home . they have a nice home for where the village he lives in is . its in khemisset morocco . it will only be , him ,. his mother , and i , in a 5 bedroom home. my husband wants me to bring all my documents there with me , so we can marry there and wait to do the cr-1 or the k-3, if for any reason this applying for waiver dont work . insha allah it might.....i emailled him what u wrote , and im sure he will start the process NOW .....plz keep in contact with me as im here and in morocco once i leave , insha allah .... shukran bezaf ....thx alot , beslama , bye

It really sounds like normal processing, and the fact that they kept his passport is a good sign. My husband had to return with some additoinal paperwork too, but they kept his passport at his interview. (he only had one interview, when he handed in the additional papers, he was called in a few days) Be patient. It sounds promising to me.

Let us know how everything goes! We are praying for you! InshaAllah!!!

Im sorry I didnt read all the pages! I was feeding the baby!
