Well on this board we are allowed to voice our opinions regardless.

All that you can do is try

Of course you are but it's just irrelevant to the post.

It is an interesting point, if you are participating in an Off Topic article you can easily get your post deleted, thread banned etc.

But lets us say you post in an immigration discussion on a subject that you either know nothing or very little about, but have an opinion, all is good.

Always struck me as strange.

Waits for this post to be deleted.

Wasn't irrelevant at all. I said that the chances without a good hardship were low. You need to concentrate on finding any hardship that you can be it medicall, financial etc. simply missing somebody isn't extreme hardship

It is not really the hardships that matter, it is the quality of the waiver package.

Now with obvious hardships it does of course make putting the waiver together easier, otherwise you just have to be a little bit more creative.

Just a game.

Which in this case makes a lawyer a good idea

Good idea absolutely, there are lawyers out there with money back guarantees for simple cases.

But not practical in this case.

If there is any doubt about the issues would always recommend at least a consultation, that is relatively cheap, just to make sure you are fully aware of what you are up against.

I filed a hardship waiver for my fiancé. My lawyer never once said our waiver was weakened because we are not yet married. She never once told me or prepared our package in the aspect of how I cannot live without him. In all reality people live without loved ones everyday.

My lawyer stated the waiver is about the hardship of me having to move to his country and the hardships I would suffer in doing so. So my 10 page 27 exhibit waiver package included all the things I would lose by leaving the USA to go be with him. My career, finances, healthcare, relationships, etc etc

I was never told you have to prove you cannot live without that person. I was told you have to prove living in their country would be a hardship. In essence you are asking the government "please let my fiancé come here because I cannot live there". Waivers are processed at the USCIS here in the states so I do not believe country matters or has anything to do with the decision.

OP whats your age range, are you all planning to get pregnant?

you need him with you thru childbirth, not wanting to have a baby

in hi sub-standard health system, kids needs both parents,, you

can pull reputable evidences from the net to back up that, you

have the duty of taking care of your parents here at home, Listen

everyone has hardships, find it & state it...Even for K1 its best to

have well prepared brief with the packet including all evidences, an

overstay alone is usually not as hard but every case & adjudicator

is different

It was irrelevant because it didn't answer any of the questions I asked. It's like you're making a fruit smoothie and I offer you chicken to put in it...

I do have very good reasons for why I cannot move and live there. I was asking for people's experiences if they've filed a waiver without solid reasons as to why they cannot continue on without their loved one moving.

Unless you have experience with this or experience with waivers personally being approved/denied, or someone that you know very closely that has had this experience, then the general "that won't cut it" is irrelevant.

Ah! This is exactly what I made this post for! Thank you for your input!

I've always read that it is important to have both hardships of why you are unable to move and why it would be a hardship if the beneficiary could not live here (I guess this would be more appropriate for those that have built a life here and are facing the possibility of deportation).

Have you been approved yet?

Yes, as stated- I've got many reasons why it would be an extreme hardship on me to move.

Thank you some of those ideas though!

No word yet...still waiting. Our packet did include some evidence of our relationship and the importance of us being together. Like letters from relatives and friends that know us, pictures, etc. but the main focus was on why me moving to his country is not possible and how the stress of this situation is affecting me.

There is a waiver forum here you can read others stories. From what I have seen most waivers are approved. I pray that is the case for us too. Hoping to have a decision by the first of the new year.
