    AmyWrites reacted to Crazy Cat in Multiple Shorter Entries within a year on ESTA/VWP   
    1.  Previous residence in US
    2.  Plan for 6 "visits" in next 12 months when not working
    3.  Girl Friend in US.
    That smells like "residing" in the US between jobs.
    It looks that way now, to me.
     
    You could easily be denied entry at any time, in my opinion.

    I am guessing that you work full-time and because they make you travel a lot they give you free time to compensate for the travel. If so, you can ask your employer to write you a letter saying you work full-time for them and that you have a lot of holidays due to the extensive travel you do for them. I think a letter from your job would be better because this:
     
     
    This could bite you in the behind because basically you would be showing them that you don't live in Australia (you travel all over Asia) and you spend all your free time in the US! That sounds more like living in the US and traveling for work to me. So you cannot really use all your time away from Asia to be in the US. I'm mentioning this because you basically want to spend 6 months out of 12 in the US and the rest of the time you'd be traveling in Asia rather than in Australia. 
     
    If you always travel to the US from a country another than Australia, that could look odd. 
     
    People using VWP say that you have to spend out of the US at least as much time as you spent in the US.

    Personally, I think you can expect a lot of questions........and I'm curious......why are you concerned about explaining your intent to "visit" frequently?? A reasonable person could think you are actually trying to live in the US.....

    She has not even been here 2 months. After 2 months here I was a mess also to be honest and I'm even from EU.
     
    Give her some more time before you think about terminating the marriage It really takes time. I've been here a year now and things are a lot better now but I'm still not settled a 100% I still don't have friends or anything.
     
    Not wanting to talk to people first can be that she is shy and being in a new country can really push this.
     
    Have you found site on facebook with people from her country near by? That might help as she can write then first without having to meet them face to face first.
     
    Also I'm glad you have filed the AOS.
     
    Of course she will have to try and do some things by herself so it's not all on you. Can you give her small things she can do like just pretend you need something at the pharmacy and can't make it so she will have to get out and get it? That way she gets out and have a reason and know where to go. Also do a bit of grocery shopping and make dinner perhaps?
     
    Also try an ignore the complaints a bit she is missing home and it's a easy spot to just complain. Just really try to not let it bather you to much like the temperature issue.

    There are over 126 million women living in the US. Maybe figure out what it is you're looking for in a woman and what you want out of a relationship and find a woman in the US that you can actually date and live with before marriage, as it seems you have quite different expectations of the relationship compared to your previous Russian brides.

    Yes, you will have a hard time.  Not impossible, but very hard, especially with two very short marriages in there recently.
    Take your time- if you like Russians, maybe join a Russian social club and see if you can meet a Russian who is already here and has a greencard? If not, meet them several times, have long visits together over a couple of years before you decide to petition her.  Ideally live together for a while, perhaps in her country?  Living together and/ or a long relationship before you petition for a visa will help both you knowing it is right this time, and make the CO less suspicious.

    Also... Hard to know someone when you're on the time limit to marry? I think you don't understand how k1 works. You are suppose to get to know someone before they arrive on k1. The 90 days are for getting married not just to get to know that person... Lol. You will need a waiver and be prepared that the next k1 won't be an easy process for you.

    Yes, it is possible to be asked for DNA even while listed on BC. They can ask for DNA at anytime to establish biological relationship between parent and kids. The reason it is more likely to happen with your husband is because they weren't previously mentioned. Immigration does their due diligence to cut down on fraud and child abduction (not saying that that is the case with you, just explaining the extra security measures).

    Tasha you are correct anyone can lie, however, the motive and benefits are huge in this case. Again, I am not one to cast a stone unto any one. All I am saying to the 62 year old lady-- Ma'am, no need to rush into marriage with a 22 year old guy. As you stated he has the ability to visit and I am assuming so can you. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY and WAIT OUT. Best I can offer in my humble opinion.

    Red flags:
     
    Age difference and you being the older woman.
    Says you'll have to hide (be quiet) with the relationship. This pretty sure mean he has a family there and as soon as he is able too he would divorce you and apply for them.
    Only met in October - Thats really not a long time with all these red flags
    You haven't met his family - Now you are thinking many haven't done that and that is correct but they also didn't have these issues you guys have. In his culture that is important. Pictures with his family will be important. 
     
    And a lot more. This will be very very very hard! ... And please really give it more time then just jump into this and share all your financial stuff with him. 
     
    Time be patient and go visit him and him visit you again. Even better go live with him for a longer time!! Since he has money it shouldn't be a problem for him supporting you while you are there!

    Oh dear.. Trust people on this forum. That guy will tell you absolutely everything that you will want to hear. He will sweet talk and wrap you around his finger and you will be completely blind. Cases like yours pop on this forum regularly. Immigration is really aware about your Nigerian men scamming older American women. Do I believe that relationship with huge age gap can work? Honestly no. I don't want to sound offensive but when I was 20 years old I thought that older people are "eww" and any kind of relationship like that would be creepy. Please don't be one of those women who come back to this forum later, crying about that guy who run off as soon as he got his green card. If he's so successful and educated and rich as he claims, he could easily get a younger woman. But he is aware that they are usually too smart to get manipulated. I bet that guy also have perfect English skills and he knows everything about immigration laws.

    Also, if he enters on a B-1/B-2 with immigrant intent and adjusts his status after marrying, that is considered visa fraud. So that's not an option at this point.
     
    The chances of being approved here are low, as Michael2017 said. I would say if you tried to get him a K-1 fiance visa, it'll be rejected with almost certainty. Then you'd have to try for the CR-1 visa after getting married somewhere, which also might end up being rejected as it happened multiple times with cases from Nigeria that I've seen here on VJ. You have a really hard Embassy with a ton of red flags, the situation isn't looking good.

    You can always try your luck, but you have to be aware of the odds you're up against here. Try posting in the Africa sub-forum and talking to other people who've been in similar situations.

    Abi, 
     
    most similar cases here ended very bad for the USC. We had women here who have been put in really bad situations after the foreigner got his GC and they only found out later that love is blind. They were made to believe that they press for the "process". Everyone could manipulate a partner to believe so. A 22 year old little boy, with a 62 year old women, just is not common. In fact, in places without immigration benefit, such relationships to end in marriage is 1 in a million. However, when immigration is involved from a 3. world country, such cases are VERY VERY COMMON. Thus, there is something else in play rather than love. Again - love makes blind. Take care of yourself and don't be tricked into believing something easily.  As for USCIS, of course you can file and try your luck, but they are well aware of such cases. In fact, all over the world, older well situated man mingle up with younger women and marry. This type of age difference and marriage is seen also without immigration benefit. However, a 22 year old boy to marry a 62 year old women, happens close to never anywhere in the world.

    Well, in 99.9% of such cases, the USC or Green Card holder is duped by the young man. We are discussing cases from all over the world here, why always Nigeria pops up for such kind of relationships? Other members of VJ mentioned, that they got offers of 50+ young Nigerian man to help them find an older women for visa purposes. 
     
    So, this story is very common here, and hardly every ends well for the USC. Love makes blind. So my advice is, to
     
    a) take care of yourself, there is a slim chance that the young man is feeling the way he says
    b) there is very little chance that he would get a GC, as USCIS knows such cases, in fact, they may deal with 1000s of such cases just from Nigeria and Marocco alone every year. This is as suspicious as it can get. Why such storries almost never pop up from ESTA/Visa Waiver Countries but always involve younger man from 3. world countries? If this was a common relationship type, it would happend all over the world and not only selective in those high fraud countries.

    Impatience is not a characteristic for dealing with US immigration. Getting married won't speed up anything (it might even raise some red flags, who knows), and that you would waste all times and money you've spent so far.

    Sorry to pile on but I would be so angry with him if I were you, a condition of that visa is your intent to get married within the 90 days and to indicate, even jokingly, that you don't really intend on marrying is the worst thing he could have done. She didn't need to be looking for a reason to send him home as he provided her the exact reason to do so for this visa.

    Why on earth would your fiancé answer the CBP (at JFK of all places) in such a manner? This isn't about 'practicing answers', this is about telling an officer the truth instead of being flippant. The officer has the right to deny entry, and I don't see how there could be any different outcome after giving such an answer....
