She questioned him and his son about my time there, where we stayed, what we ate, what religion I am, who paid for the hotel where we stayed who paid for my plane ticket ect.... My fiance has a clean background, good work history, clear medical.

My fiance is 12 years younger then me and I'm sorry but I have seen others with allot bigger age gap then that so I don't believe its an age issue

In Ghana, this is an issue/red flag. They doubt your relationship.

Why would that be? I had kinda figured, "Oh, she sells appliances, cars, and real estate in the Philippines, so she'll come here and work for Sears or a Ford dealership or become a realtor."

I think you're being very optimistic. It took my husband, who speaks English well, has a master's degree, and nearly ten years of work experience at the time (in a very in-demand field) almost a year and a half to find a stable job in the US. The odds are difficult for immigrants, especially those from non-English speaking countries. You might have to support her for a good amount of time, and it sounds like that's not going to be easy for you either.

I am glad someone other than me was blunt enough to insinuate that she is most likely after a green card and green card only.

From one of his last posts it looks like he's ok with that...

OP, you understand it will be hard for her to find a well-paying job in the US, right?

Your red flag is your previous marriage, sadly.

Have you considered the Fulbright scholarships to study in the US? There might be something

You should also understand that even if you got your citizenship today, the fact that you are a naturalized citizen, and it seems not from an Anglo-speaking country, means you will have a very very hard time getting a security clearance, especially top secret, forget about top secret. My husband is also in IT and has had no problems finding well paying jobs, except in the DC area where most require clearances.

He can talk to my husband if he wishes. He's Russian, had our CR1 interview back in 2012.

She needs a lawyer.

Never say never.

Dems see this as locking in their votes for a generation.

As a dem, no. It's not enough of a big issue.

This will never happen.

Puerto Rico is fine and it's pretty rare to find flights to PR with a layover in a foreign country.... and if you're from Florida, you're looking at direct 3-5 hour flights.

I lived in Moscow for a few years. It was an amazing experience and I had a blast, but not a place I'd raise a family in. Other cities in Russia? Maybe. But Moscow is too "big city" for this rural South girl.

GRE is for grad school.

Undergrad she's looking at the SAT or ACT.

If she already has a degree, she might be able to waive those. But if she already has a degree, she should just get an MA or post-bac certificate rather than take on four years of undergrad.

OP, have you looked into exchange programs through your university? Some offer internships too

Age and qualifications.

Yeah, he'd have to wait a few years

J-1 visa?

Ridiculous that some people talk about this sort of "having a ceremony" thing and, people scream NO, but someone from a VWP country, sure.

Nothing you can do about AP. File a writ, get denied. Nothing you can do.

You should be thankful this is your "delay" (Note: it's not!).

Husband showed him his green card. Still no go, said he's not sure of the "legalities" of renting to immigrants. Not that I'd keep being interested in renting from a moron (I'm sure if husband's English didn't have an accent, he woudln't question the legal status) like that, but is this legal? Is this a practice I'll run into again? I'm shocked by it.... the area we're in doesn't have an illegal immigrant problem, so I don't even understand the logic he's using.

According to our online status, we got approved (July 17th)!!!!!! I was so worried since we didn't have a lot of evidence (no joint property at the time).

Its not about being sympathetic, hello!! This place is supposed to be a help for immigration, not a place to begin a discussion. If you noticed my original post, I was sure of the wonderful guidance I would receive here, as I have always received. I am appalled by the bias here. Not expected at all, on top of that, none here know me but feel the right to disrespect a member of my family, thus disrespecting me. My brother in law is a wonderful man who made the mistake to come to this country at 17 years old. Almost dieing on the way here, traumitized by custody who beat him and starved him. He was only 108 pounds when he was released. But that was part of the consequence of his actions. He now has eye disease because of the stress of being in constant fear ruptured veins in his eyes. He recently had eye surgery to save his eyes. So, please stop thinking that all details are before you. That everything is on the table for you to see. He paid a very high price for coming. He also developed a disorder in his nervous system. He has become a young man who has many health issues. Use his story as a warning to others not to come the way he did. That is why he is looking to see how he can come back the right way. He would never come again the way he did.

Calm down. A CO will think worse.

If his plan is to live in the US, I'd get a lawyer.

Basically everything Kathryn said. First figure out your insurance and what they will/won't cover and their in-network providers. Some insurance companies have websites that allow you to look up which doctors take which plan, for example my insurance http://www.cigna.com/web/public/hcpdirectory After that, start calling PCP's or gynos in the network depending on the meds, and explain the situation you have. I found a doctor who was willing to just make me an entirely new prescription for my meds and it was easy.
