my fiancee is being detained

[AmyWrites 593]

It will not be frivolous because I did research on it already and France has human rights violations recently look up human rights watch its about 50 pages we asked to get married before we filed for asylum we already wanted to get married in January we had no choice but to go the asylum route because they issued a deportation order and.are taking their time for letting us marrytbecausr of his stupid visa waiver its the only thing we can do and she knows the risks but she has no criminal history and we wanted to get married and are ready to get affidavits supporting this fact.

Look OP, asylum is for warzones, near warzones (think border Mexican cities), and places that are human rights hellholes where women get circumcised and all that. You're basically insulting the entire asylum process. It's not for people whose lives would be slightly more inconvenient because they don't like their particular group there, it's for people whose LIVES are, in a daily, constant, and unpreventable (the authorities don't give a hoot) ways in danger.

France, in 2012 France has had the most anti Jewish terrorist attacks in the world she was a human rights activist in France and shes half Jewish shes been an animal activist which is proven but not the activism in France.

Credible fear.

She is an EU citizen. Move to Belgium, Germany yada, yada. She will not get asylum in the USA from France. Seriously?

I told that to the judge he said asylum wont make it worst were just buying time to get married and file i130 credible fear from terrorism france had the most anti Jewish attacks in 2012.

She has a clean record a honor student in the states was never reported to ice has bachelors in france was accepted to medical school with grants in the states.

She was an actress in france.

Its like going to France and saying I need asylum from Texas.

Fire your attorney, they are just milking your for money. There is no way she can obtain asylum from France. When you say they won't let you get married I assume you are talking about the corrections facility she is in will not give permission for the marriage.

Let's break down the relevant issues. She came on the VWP and got married. She left the country (returning to France where she is fearful for her life) and returned to the US again on the VWP. She filed for AOS but missed her appointment because her vacation was more important than living legally in the US. She divorced. She met you. She was picked up by ICE (because of some domestic violence issue?) and is being detained. She has filed a frivolous asylum claim in an attempt to remain incarcerated for a longer period of time waiting for her asylum request to be denied so she can be removed from the US.

She needs to just ask for a voluntary departure now and hope you can file for her and obtain a waiver for her overstay.

Please replace your lawyer because how he/she even consider asylum for a french citizen? On what grounds. First of all any good lawyer should try to secure her release and as long as she doesn't have any serious criminal records, getting a release for her shouldn't be difficult

$$$$ in advance.

Her chances of receiving asylum from France are not zero, but as close to it as makes no difference.

Asylum is for state-sponsored (or abetted) acts committed against people based on their religious or political beliefs, essentially leaving them in fear that they will be killed by either their own government or general lawlessness.

The chances of receiving asylum in a western country from another western country - especially two allies like the United States and France - are infinitesimal.

Hi my fiance is being held by ice she came to usa from France on a visa waiver she got married left to france came back 10 days later was married for 5 years and she petitioned for a green card she never got it cause she missed her appointment because she was on vacation now the lawyer is trying asylum is there anything anyone can think of that can help?

OP, can you explain your better? And clearly?

Right now,a lot of the members are having difficulty understanding you, and it is impeding them from offering you the best advice possible.

But if other avenues of obtaining residency is not feasible according to your fiance's attorney, and if he or she wants to pursue asylum, the following would have to be the grounds:

Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to:

Race

Religion

Nationality

Membership in a particular social group

Political opinion

LOL asylum from France to the USA, war-torn areas citizens go thru hell trying to get asylum.

they dont give it to ppl because they have degrees, or some money, dude cant knock U for trying

but get rid of your clueless attorney who's looking to make his money, Y cant he ask for a bond

maybe she may get lucky, In the meantime have plan B if you are in love to move to France with

her for awhile....not too long ago the name French-fries were changed to Freedom fries, nope,

your sweetie dont have a possibility of an approved asylum because she is Jewish, also

Isreal accept all Jews to come and live there, plus their salary scale is way above the USA

OP U said your fiance was married before , she has to get a divorce B4 marrying u. Safe journey bro

It isn't going to fly. You are dreaming. And exaggerating. Massively.

By the way, it is 'trend' of thought...If we want to be technical and nitpick.

Not everyone speaks or writes english as a first language. So you try to make the best sense out of any post or ask for further explanation while trying to provide the best advice possible based on your experience, judgement and knowledge.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

he was trying to correct someone who used the expression " train of thought" by saying saying the correct word should have been trend . A"train of thought" is the more commonly used phrase and very correct too.

I've heard of "Train of thought" never "trend of thought". It could British. Just like I never heard of the word "snarky". Had to google & found out it's a British term.

Always learning something new. Just like learning how one cannot seek asylum because of perceived racism in a modern European country especially being an actress by a profession.

That's strange cause im British and I use "Train of thought". I have, nor has anyone I know, ever used "trend of thought"

[canadian_wife 1,791]

we had no choice but to go the asylum route because they issued a deportation order

That will be part of your problem. It appears you filed asylum BECAUSE of the deportation order. You said it, I see it, so will an judge

Sorry, but you need to make plans incase you are denied.

good luck
