Yours truly is suffering from an emotional turmoil and I plead everyone not to post anything negative. 

Thank you. 

 

I was here on B1/B2 visa to visit my aunt for the second time. Met someone and we dated and fell in love. Broke up twice but got back together because he pursued and he decided he couldn't live without me so we got married in August. He promised several things like getting a permanent job, filing my paperwork and all but until now I'm still helpless and paperless. My husband has no job, no enthusiasm about getting one and spent my immigration money. I only have $20 left in my name and I'm stuck here. Sold my house and car back home and I have a little boy waiting on me to get him. 

 

What should I do?

Sorry about your situation.

 

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.  You do not have a way to stay.  There is no way to bring your little boy to the US.

 

Ask your family and friends for help in getting a plane ticket home.

Time to go home, a mistake, we all make them but sounds like no a good situation and not one that will get any better.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

All I can suggest is you go back and re read what you posted, that is all we can go by, nobody here knows you, just what you posted.

 

Perhaps he needs time to get his act together, if not divorce and move on.

You have a point, and I'm sorry. I'm just not in a good situation right now.

I know what you mean. Guess I'm still in that denial stage in the cycle. Which is the hardest part.

You have absolutely NO reason to be sorry.  I sincerely apologize if I sounded harsh....I hope you for you the very best outcome in this difficult time.....I hope you can take charge of you and your child's futures......you can...you must......
