I'm worried

[Russ&Caro 1,548]

Congrats on getting a student visa for her. I tried to get a student visa for my Colombian gf (now, my wife) and was denied in both US and Canada. Good for you in attempting to further her education. I know 6 months (fiance visa) or 12 months (spouse CR-1 visa) seems like a long time to wait and be apart but it's not that bad. You're in your 20's. If your marriage works out, you'll be together for 50+ years. The 6-12 months of waiting will be a good story to share many decades from now.

Note, like you, I had always figured that marrying a woman and having her allowed in the US to live with me, was a constitutional right. But it turns out that the latter part is not a constitutional right. An American has the right to marry whomever they choose from anywhere in the world. What we don't have a right to is automatic immigration of that spouse. Although it's frustrating, when you logically think it through, it makes some sense. If it was a right, I could travel to Northeastern Syria, marry a girl and have her automatically immigrated despite any allegiance she might have to ISIS.

I recommend calmly considering your options and then do what's best and legal for you and her. Best of luck!

You might not care if you committed visa fraud or not, but people committing such fraud is one of the reasons the process takes so long for those doing it the legal way.

And yeah, it is your God given right to be with your wife. So if you can't be with her in U.S., go be with her somewhere else. It's not a God given right to be given automatic immigration passage ya know? Lol, I really do love the Anti-US rants by people who are trying to have someone immigrated into US at same time.

America is bad colombia is worse mostly due to Americas lovely foreign policy.

Why would I leave america how would that help anything. If I and everyone like me leave things will never change. And everyone will be worse off for it. Love it or leave it? Please.

America is bad. Colombia is worse thanks to America. The first step to fixing this nation is bringing enlightened people from overseas because most of the people here are a lost cause.

How could we ever go on without you? I'm so glad you're going to fix America! Please show us the light! You should run for president.

He's not alone. On Visajourney alone there is a lot of enlightened people who will help fix the nation. Although I am a bit overwhelmed by this task.

It seems that you came on here with the wrong attitude because your seeking help from people who have previous experience with this situation but with a terrible attitude towards the struggle that everyone on here has dealt with and is dealing with.

It seems your soon to be fiancee is here on a student visa, which she came on thinking that she would leave after her education program will be over. Correct? So that is good news because if she didn't know that you were going to propose then she has not committed visa faud. You need to start changing your wording and mindset of why you helped her with her student visa so that you dont get charged for visa faud. It seems after living with your gf while she was here on her student visa, that you decided that she is the love of your life and that yall want to get married. So get married and file for AOS, which yes cost an lot at one time but at least yall will be together. I am not positive about this but she might be able to not take as many classes because she will be in the states for a different reason now instead of a student visa. Now basically follow that other post that someone suggested and follow that process.

Also remember that some people have been separated from there loves ones for years and would love to be able to take the easy way out but this website is her as support system to doing it the right way aka the long/hard way. You are extremely lucky your future wife was able to come on a student visa and that you were able to do AOS while in the states not like many others on this site.

That is my 2 cents, I hope it helps you.

Cheers,

Sara

I do recognize that maybe what I did wasnt legal. I really don't give a damn if it was.

We do though, and you should to, as the TOS you agreed to when signing up to this site explains that it is not allowed here to...

"Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration activities in any way, shape, manner or method."

Doing so can lead to suspensions and a ban from the site.

This thread is closed for discussing illegal ways of immigrating and heated tempers/ bypassing language filters. Op is free to start another thread asking about LEGAL avenues (which the CR-1 or K1 would be).
