Ok, probably should have posted this question before I filed K1, but after my attorney advised me I will have no issues with filing K1, she said it a clear case and I can do it on my own...,,now after reading threads and so much info hear I AM TERRIFIED ,,,,

Ok the story in short is I was married to a Moroccan in 2005 (filed AOS denied due to his getting arrested by ICE for many unvalidated reason they could not get any charges to federal court) he was deported in 1/2006( over staying school visa) I followed him to Morroco where i lived for a about 3 months and returned to USA and we decided aftera few months he wasn ot able to finically support me and him so we separated, I could not file for divorce unitl I live in the state where I for 1 year.. I have now been divorced for almost 2 years.. that is not my concern...

My concern is I also file a lawsuit against Homelands Security(TSA) as I was employed with them at the time of my married!! I wanted to end the lawsuit in order to have NO issues with my current process but the Attorney says it has no baring on my future ...

Ok I read somewhere I could be held up in NVC due to name checks cos i have history with ICE( i dont the EX does) but will my lawsuit hold baring on this too.......

I wish I would have asked on here before I started all this process I would have insisted my attorney took my case.. she said I did not need to hire any attorney or her and all will be fine... she is a high end immigration attorney in LA with years of experince .

She stated what happened with my Ex has no bearing on me. He was deported over staying school visa... The AOS was denied due to him nothing on my part...we did file a appeal but withdrew it.

I know many ppl will love this post cos it gives opportunity to vent on me... I have heard it all from family members and friends. "Why go thur this again and are u crazy.. many thing I chooose not to post.....". But once again i did not go looking for love across the miles .... I was looking for friendship in a country I am fond of and have a bond with. Took a lot of time to decide to take this risk again and fell in love over time...

My SO knows every detail of this past and for all accounts did not run the other directions ( if he was looking for GC I was absolutly was not a sure cure) So we are bone fide in LOVE and I want him here just as everyone wants their SO beside them.. K1 NOA 1 5/ 2009 all documets and photos and proof of on going relationship...

Please is there anything I can do to either stop this anxiety of over thinking this or should I get my attorney involved even if she says I dont need her.. start to get senators in line with my case..... Or throw in the towel and give up and find another solution ( possibly give up my life here and move there with him)....

Please be gentle......

Extremely terrified to hit the "post new topic key" :huh:

I honestly do not know how the lawsuit nor how your ex-husband's deportation shall affect your filing. I do wish to offer words of encouragement, since the biggest issue appears to be your apprehension about what may happen, not what has happened. You've submitted everything, so now it's time to wait. In the meantime you can continue to gather evidence of ongoing relationship, visit your fiancé is you are able to, and continue your life.

12 Step groups have a common saying that "There is no such thing as a justified resentment": You are free to resent something or someone, but it's never valid to do so. I would add that there is no such thing as a justified fear. Sometimes folks believe it was fear that helped them through a situation, when in reality they made it through in spite of the fear. Fear does not have much energy and therefore does not afford one with the maximum range of choices. Another option would be acceptance, which you've already alluded to in your post when you said that you might just end up moving to Morocco to be with him. At this point it might be helpful to just accept that you have to wait to discover the outcome; and whatever that may be to accept that. Such an attitude affords you with far more opportunity and serenity than fear.

All the best on your journey.

Shouldn't affect anything. You are entitled to bring a lawsuit for some alledged wrongdoing, it has nothing to do with a visa. If the former petition was not approved within the last two years, you shouldn't even need a waiver. As fas as name checks, that can affect anyone, no guarantees there, but it is not unusual and if you have no criminal issues, it should not be a problem other than a delay.

I think you stumbled across an honest attorney (even blind squirrels can find an acorn sometimes) and she has been honest with you, IF you have been honest with her.

Shhhhh. Don't tell Alla this. Her fear of bears climbing in our second floor bedroom window keeps her snuggled up tight to me all night. Bears are Baaaaaaaaaad, Baaaaaaad, very dangerous animals. hehehehe

Her plan is to escape down the stairs while the bear EATS me! Nice to be cared for. :lol:

She is actually my attorney in the lawsuit.. And was also my ex husbands & i attorney in the AOS/ deportation issues and process.. so she knows 100000000% of the history and I trust her... just I wanted to get some info here to make sure I was o the track without her....

No criminal history for me.....

Thank you sooooooo much... I feel relieved as relieved as I can be thur all this process ......

To be honest anyone can hit snags with name checks etc. We had issues with my husbands very uncommon British name, who would have thought. There are no guarentees with who will or wont. Just wait and deal with what comes and cross your fingers you don't have any more wait than the rest.
