I am SO frustrated right now.

This process hasn't even started, and I'm already completely exhausted from having dealt with all the Mexican bureaucracy. Now here comes the American, yay! 

My case is quite particular, as many other cases here. So basically and to make a long story short:

*** I met a guy and after three years, we got married. He was Mexican, but born in the U.S, so he started a CR-1 process. We were both living in Mexico City.  

*** My CR-1 was accepted after around 6 months. 

*** The relationship fell apart during that time.  I knew we couldn't stay married for a green card. I told him I wanted a divorce. We split in November 2015. 

*** Ironically, the day I signed my divorce papers is the day my acceptance letter arrived. I told him we should cancel the process. No papers were sent to the NVC, no payment, no interview or anything.  A year passed.  end of 2015.

*** 2016 starts: I traveled to the US on a tourist VISA, stayed six months and met the love of my life. 

*** After dating for six months, he visited me in Mexico, asked me to marry him and I said yes. 

*** We said goodbye. I tried to visit him and was denied entry to the U.S since I accidentally overstayed 4 days. 

*** I re applied after months, but no luck. The reason: the overstay, and lack of strong ties to my country. 

*** My stupid lawyer didn't file my divorce papers in my city, so I didn't have a divorce certificate for a year. 

*** The vital records office lost my file. They finally tracked it down and after a month, I got a certified copy.

***  I've been legally divorced since november 2015, but the papers show December 2016 as the date. 

*** We got married in Cozumel in January , it rained really hard and it was super windy, Hurricane style. 

*** So yes, what you're thinking. It looks like I got remarried less than a month after my divorce. Super classy.  

I imagine being an agent and reading the application: So this got married to a U.S citizen because she wanted a green card, lost her chance, and is trying AGAIN after less than a month. Mexicans, man. *

* I am not staying all or any agents or immigration officers are racist or mean. It's for the joke, I promise. 

My relationship is absolutely real, I adore this man with all my heart, it sucks that we have to move to the U.S,  but for all practical reasons we have to at least try, since his job doesn't transfer easy, and I don't mind relocating. I just wish it wasn't this damn complicated from the start.  Honestly, it's been such a legal nightmare (and it's just starting) that I feel that the universe is trying to tell me something. Hopefully, that I should appreciate and embrace the process, learn from my mistakes, and never take for granted what we have. Because we're in for one hell of a ride!
