    Mogambi got a reaction from neodragon0l in Less and Less Communication   
    No need to make personal attacks against this person. Be nice to her. She didn't do anything wrong. When love is involved, rational heads do not prevail. That's why she posted here, she needed guidance. For a lot of people from poorer countries, the promise of a new life with someone they truly love is a strong emotion. Pretty hard I would think to 'walk away' from what you thought would be your entire new life. So be easy on her.
    It's very easy for us to say 'My god what a pig, walk away'. And I truly also believe he is not a good man at all for behaving that way, and she should find someone better than him. He is a lying cheater and he will not change.
    But we don't need to call her a fool. Show some compassion.

    Mogambi got a reaction from NY_BX in Get married a day before I-94 expires (90th day)   
    I agree, they might talk to the minister, and explain the situation. He might give his blessing to let them do a courthouse wedding to get the legal side of things done, maybe they just have to adhere to the rules of the Church of Christ wedding.
    The rule is that you must get married 'within' 90 days. So I certainly wouldn't get married ON the 90th day, to me it seems that day 89 is the last legal day you can get married.
    I think as long as the wedding takes place on that day, and all the marriage certificate and things are dated with that day, she would be Ok. But I agree, cutting it VERY close.
    Also just for terminology sake, she has no visa anymore. The visa was used up the day she entered the US. She now has an I-94, and THAT is what expires. Just mentioning this to make sure you aren't looking at the expiration date on her K1 visa. That is meaningless now, that was only the expiration date she had to ENTER the US by. The clock reset to 90 days on the day she entered. I assume you have this right but just checking...
    Also, this will sound harsh, but I think God would understand the circumstances if they had to go to the courthouse to go a simple piece of paper for the US Government instead of her being deported and a 10 year ban on re-entering the US!!!!
    Find another minister. Or have HIM marry them even on a week day, and then perform the wedding again as was planned on August 4th if it falls outside the range.
    There just has to be options here...

    Um, no offense, but why one earth would you say something as ignorant as 'all people from the Philippines get approved easily and fast'.
    Clearly you have NO idea what you are talking about. They get approved no faster than most other countries. And there are plenty of stories on here of people being denied from the Philippines.
    You appear to be from Brazil, so what makes you think you know anything about the Philippines.
    And you're telling him he won't have any problems even though he has basically NO evidence of having spent time together.
    Sigh. Why even bother posting if you have no clue what you're posting about.

    Unfortunately the review process varies greatly. Some people seem to have gone into review and emerged 2 weeks later. For some people, months have gone by and they are still in review
    Pray and hope for the best. But there isn't much you can really do except wait....

    Mogambi got a reaction from MangoAve in People make up your mind before bringing someone here!!   
    It's very easy to say. And certainly some of the people bringing over fiances from overseas are acting irresponsibly. For sure. Some of them just fell in love with the idea of an exotic woman from another place. Maybe when that other person got here, things just weren't the same. Unfortunately, the circumstances of these types of relationships often don't allow a lot of time together in person. I mean, think about it, many people here maybe have only met their fiance for two weeks or so, and that's it. Then you are expected to marry within 90 days....
    And yes, the sad truth is that many people from poorer countries have a strong desire to get to the USA, or a richer country. Even if sometimes that doesn't mean they commit fraud (although I'm sure that happens too) some of them are just blinded by the idea of a much better life. Then maybe the reality of living abroad sinks in.
    But it's not fair to only blame the petitioners.

    Mogambi got a reaction from Marie & Dan in Immigration lawyer for k1   
    I see no problem in using a visa service if it gives the couple peace of mind. But the visa services really use scare tactics to try and make people believe it's too hard, too risky, for them to do it on their own. I wouldn't say the process was easy, my fiancé and I even had some difficult things to deal with. She had lived in both Thailand and Kuwait in addition to being from the Philippines, so that was the source of some stress trying to figure out how to deal with that (particularly the Police Reports). I did talk to two lawyers. One of them basically said for the money she would guide my fiancé through the interview process. That proved very unnecessary. If you and your fiancé really know each other, don't fear the interview at all! They're going to ask very basic questions, and if you are truly in a relationship, you would have no problem with them. There are also plenty of examples here of the kinds of questions they ask.
    The second lawyer, who I liked a lot, said 'Don't Hire Me'. He spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me for free, answering my question about Police Reports, but said that even if I hired him, I was going to have to do all the hard work, and gathering of all the information. At best he could look over the forms and check over the package. But even in his mind, an organized person should be able to handle all of this easily.
    So I would say again, be careful of the visa agencies that try to pressure you into 'needing' their help. You don't need it. I was scared, and almost used them at first too, especially when you go to their website and read "90% of all applications are denied, you must use us, 100% guarantee or your money back!"
    Hogwash.
    If anything, I would say find a decent lawyer, and pay them for one hour of their time to look over your application when you're done with it, if you're really scared.

    Also it says that 'sponsors signing the affidavit must be 18 years old'
    Even with your brother co-sponsoring, maybe they denied you because you are 17 years old? If so, then perhaps you can make your case as soon as you turn 18.
