Fellow VJ travelers,

I guess its like that Footprints poem.. I must be in God's hands now because.......


Let me tell the story of my husband Immigration woes again...

He came here on a K1 visa in march 2000
he got married to his exwife in april 2000
he got a social security card
he filed for i 485 sometime thereafter
they attended their first interview in december 2000
they separated in january 2001 and he moved out
he applied for his EAD in July 2001 and got it
his divorce was finalized on april 2002
he filed an "i-751" waiver in april 2002 thru a lawyer("ur alien card has been extended for 1 year; permission to travel abroad and work)
he got his NOA on the "i-751" in june 2002
he applied/ got another NOA on the I-751 in june 2003
got an I-551 stamp in his passport on feb 2004, feb 2005
we met in nov 2002 he had his files transferred to miami
SEVERAL info pass appts.. all say his case is pending and "i-551 has been extended" heck he got it in writing also from miami office ,
he traved to india twice.. once by himself and once with us as a family...and "was inspected" upon return. (we waited in a room where they verified his status) and got a stamp in his passport "ARC" MIA Airport
FINALLY they give him an interview based on that original K1--- on nov 18, 2005
he goes, they say his I-485 was denied - in sept 2002--- he never received it and they have proof becoz he got a copy of what they sent him ( a registered letter saying not deliviered) said he was denied becoz he got divorced and he didnt apply for any waiver (EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE IT TO HIM FOR 4 years in a row)
he left to india the next day because as of then he had no status in the United States.


I believe he did the right thing by leaving and starting the whole process over again via me as the applicant.

He didnt no anythign wrong, nor did he overstay his K-1. hes got the I-751's and the stamps in his passport to prove it. Moreover, he did travel to India twice and was inspected before we were allowed to leave the airport.

In both our names we got a LARGE home loan, 2 car loans, vehicle registration, vehicle insurace, health insurance out of my paycheck, and a USC child.
In individual names, cable, electricity, utility, land line, 2 cell lines, credit cards all coming to the same address.

He has a valid florida drivers license from 2004-2014.


By the way, the approved his home loan and his license with the stamps in his passport. he also signed a Patriiot act thing which allowd our lending bank to check his background..

again what more do they want.. i hope they wont screw us.

I am lost in your posting.
