Shoot Em Straight

Happy to hear your hubby is working and finding his way. It is nice once they start earning their own money and driving. life changes so much for them, having independence is important. I enjoy seeing your pictures on Facebook, you are such a beautiful couple and your dog is darling! Your long hair has given me the inspiration to grow mine out, I;m about halfway there. My husband was lucky in the respect that he found his first job after a few months and found a job in his field after 9 or 10 months, I hear of so many who take much longer. But like you said as long as you stay strong together, all is possible. My husband is in Hong Kong for work until the 18th, it's our first time apart since he entered the US, so I am missing him. Thank goodness for Skype!

I'll be glad when removing conditions and citizenship is done, immigration is so stressful, we just want it over and done with.

Oh let it grow GF.....it is your crown. I sure he would love it.

hahaha

I do know, by assumption, your husband had an a good education in his field so more power to him!!! There are so many factors against the SO that comes here with little. I intervened in anyway I could to get him a possible interview...finally this company showed him a chance that he needed.

Love the home and we are coming to visit your big house in the forrest. With the little dogito.

Oh, just someone deciding to use me to get in the country. That's all ; same old immigration horror story - though she thought that the restrictions were 5 years, not 2 ... why, I don't know. My fault for not noticing the signs, though (I, and anyone else, should always keep eyes peeled for signs of any type.) I should have tossed my rose-colored-glasses in the trash 15 years ago. Trust me, though - I've ripped them off & stomped on them.

( On a side note, I've become a far more cynical, distant, and un-trusting person - assuming the worst of every person I run into. : ( The experience hasn't done any good to my having any type of meaningful relationships. It really stinks.

Literally 5 years to the day - she did a 180 in attitude, took my son, ran off + made horrible accusations against me. I'm not looking back ; not doting ; and hanging on to every tidbit of information for the eventual day when my son asks "What happened?"

I'm glad I have proof ready for that day. : )

Sounds like a hard lesson learned and usually it is the children that pay for our stupidity. Remaining untrusting, cynical and distant for your possibel future partner is only hurting yourself in MHO, no one is worth staying mad at.

Did you ever think of finding an Arab American instead? Then the using for a VISA is out of the picture. Your first post on here confused me ...it sounded like I had something to expect ahead of me removing conditions....I hope you can recover from your past and find the right one.

Glad you asked...Husband finally landed a job and has been very hard at work since the summer. They are good to him and appreciate his good work ethics. He just got a raise in his hourly pay and health ins.

He bought his own car and enjoys his independance...... finally.

It was a long two years of adjustments but all is good now. Just like when awaiting the visa, we stayed strong together and got through the harder times. And there were A LOT of challenges after he arrived here.

We also are removing conditions.

Looking back to the beginning of this journey....I am so grateful to be out of the unknown and waiting.

Good Luck to those still waiting.

SOrry to read this...sincerely. I hope your family can ride through this as best as you can for the girls. With respect.

Can you and your husband afford ESL classes? Why not improve his English by now?

With nervousness AND weak English This will go against anyone attempting to fight RED FLAGS at an interview.

Hi please can anyone answer....Does the spouse have to attend the Biometric appointment. My husband is going tomorrow and I might not be able to make it.

thanks

Congratulations ....ha now the true journey begins. Good Luck to you!!!!

Good thing for future family portraits.

But has squat to do with proving you both have a bona fide relationship in a C.O.'s mind.

To answer your question.....Nothing wrong with you getting tickled over "looking" like you could have fathered her kids but It will not weigh in on why you posted on VJ.

As Boiler suggested...keep reading in MENA of how we all handled the red flags.

Also if you have not already done so.... have your SO come on VJ and read past journeys with you. It can be done.

Hi I just received the biometrics appointment for my hubby 10/23/14

Thank you for the update on here

From what I've read, looks like that hospital totally botched the initial treatment of the patient,

so I suspect a lawsuit will follow soon.

Hopefully effective medicine for prevention/treatments get developed soon.

RIP...

Its already starting.......

Hi everybody,

We are makng our decision to go for the K1 visa this month but we do have many red flags in our story. One of them is that we have 16 years age difference. I (27) Egyptian am younger than her (43). We have been for one year and 2 months and she came for a visit 3 times and the last one was with her 2 kids ( a boy (4 yrs) and a girl (6 yrs) ) and they look pretty much like my kids although I don't have any yet. Now I see some cases has been declined or denied because of their age difference although its illegal but they do look for reasons and sometimes it doesn't make the case seem legit for them.

Now my question is how do I answer their questions about our age difference in a good convenient way?

Thanks in advance

ROMET

As D & Z said....honestly.

Definately not like the highlighted comment you posted.

Good Luck

Good Day

NOA date is 9/29/14 one step closer for all of us!!

Thank you for adding

thank you Kash2011!!

Hi Inluv, which service center?

Ummmm I am in California so I sent it to California.

Incorrect, the only time it is ever necessary to send a photocopy of every page of a passport is with the I-130 and it's only necessary if a petitioner chooses this method to establish their US Citizenship.

Ummm with all respect what part of this is incorrect? This is the necessary time I am indicating one needs to copy passport pages including her entry stamps...when she files so we are saying the same thing????? No matter I understood hope she did too. Ouch first time on here I was told incorrect...

Not a Candy Crush Fan but my hubby is.....I am a SCRABBLER. Sent petition to lift conditions on Sept 26th 2014. Can I be added?

or is it on the NOA date?

thanks ofr your help

It's no problem as long as you have enough evidence to submit along with your i-130 petition. CR1 is a conditions resident and if approve you gets just 2yrs green card and expected to file before the end of the 2yrs to remove conditions if your marriage is genuine with more evidence. Example having a kid, joint tax return, Same home address, joint account and more others.

Oh Goodie. Just what he needed to hear.

I would definately suggest OP AND his WIFE to come on to VJ and read about what really goes on at CASA.

This is your portal

http://www.visajourney.com/portals/index.php?auto=1

Also MENA

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/97-middle-east-and-north-africa/

Knowing people(s) in person that have been approved after one visit and married will have no bearing on your outcome. Presenting solid evidence and showing you married in good faith will.

Also keep in mind there might be other RED FLAGS in your case....Is your wife much older? Already married and divorced? Previous children? How u met and fell in love?...etc. Also how do you communicate? Your writing in English is not that great yet, Does she speak Arabic? What do you have in common? Just loving each other a lot after "knowing each other over a year" does not show enough evidence to prove a bona fide relationship...

Again if you truely are worried about getting approved, have your wife come on VJ and read a lot about what is ahead for you both.

Good Luck

Did he buy your ring? maybe a receipt from the jewelry store? Train tickets from rides you took together? I stayed longer stays so I included our shopping receipts from Acima the large local

food market.

Copying your passport stamps might be redundant...cuz somewhere down the line...cant remember when, you are required to send photo copies of everypage of your passport.

If you continue to read in MENA forum of the past approvals and denials it can give you great info on what goes on in CASA.

As advised, keep accumilating evidence of your daily contacts...You can also have your family members that did meet her on her two visits write letters about her trip and meeting her. What you all did together i.e. dinners, visiting places in morocco etc....and maybe how they found her. My father in law wrote a kind letter about me in French and had it translated.

No one on here can give you the outcome of your future interview....only guesses But the mention of the cancelling your k1 and getting married is really dispensible info at this point of your journey.

Your fiancee should also be on here reading too.

Good you have letters from her and the Nana.

Good Luck

Good news. Keep us posted.

OH I know that hook....It was the one that was eventually stolen by that low down dirty crook.

Welcome to VJ.

Husband returned last year for about 20 something days. He had his passport and permanent redsident card. All went well ....just me worrying about him... for nothing. Have a great trip.

we do it and i go to consult with him i was just get same blood because they give me blood every week , and i show them all doc from hospital and my i look like dieing . my husband take ling and pay for visa but they refuse him ... they asked me follow process

ok when why they dined him and ask go star process i show them that we do it but i cant wait they told me u go when ur husband visa come we will see if we give him visa ,,,, this america that i work 30 years pay tax and bills wowowow

30 years in the U.S. and your English remains on this level? not buying it....

Sad if the wife is really ill and choosing to wait for a VISA then get medical help.

This is not love. This is LUDICROUS.

Worried about your expidite request denied? Or worried about your medical condition and health?

To answer your question...as far as I have been a member, and you are not related to the other posts about a wife with ovarian cancer that will not leave without her husband/visa approval.......your particulars are the only one of its kind.

I continue to wish you good thoughts.
