    Mina90 reacted to Artisan in Heartbroken, she left me   
    Honestly I am pretty appalled at the level of blind support the OP has been given based on his rather shaky story.
    First and foremost, marrying just a week after your fiance arrives in the US is not something to be concerned about. You are required to have full intentions to marry when the K-1 visa is issued. The 90 day period given is to allow people to plan and execute the wedding, NOT test drive your future spouse. To enter the US or to bring someone in on a K-1 visa without the express intent to marry them is immigration fraud.
    Second, the OP admits to being emotionally unstable and volatile enough to snap at his new bride. The only fault here is that the young woman didn't fully know the man she was going to marry and was ill-prepared for the stress involved in moving overseas, getting married, and trying to make a life with someone that apparently expected a different woman. The OP blames everything and everyone but himself for his problems (his father dying, his wife, the people at the shelter). At no point does he admit that he was at fault for causing the initial conflict by snapping at her. He forced a confrontation about her lack of intimacy, not by being polite and reasonable about it at an appropriate time, but instead accuses her of deliberately angering him the same night a family member has died.
    She has been living at a shelter for two months after first trying to live with his mother. If there was real fraud going on she'd have a more solid escape plan from the relationship (a boyfriend and/or local friends). Let's just ignore the fact that he blew her off by telling her to go ahead and leave his mother's house instead of trying to resolve the issue with counselling or speaking with her parish priest.
    The workers at the shelter are likely the ones blocking contact as that is a core element of the support structure of those institutions. A major rule of almost all women's shelters is that they will lose the support of the shelter if they communicate with the spouse/boyfriend/abuser. It's likely she doesn't even have the same number she had when the OP last saw her.
    It is clear that the OP was unprepared for the marriage given his admitted mental state and reaction to events. Divorce is the best option for everyone involved. If the wife wants to attempt to fix the marriage she can make contact after the papers are filed. As for the OP's final comment about still trusting Filipinas and wanting to marry another one, it should strike everyone as repugnant that the OP objectifies and classifies women of any particular ethnicity in such a manner. Women are women the whole world over, some good and some bad. Fixating on one specific country (especially one that is known for placing foreign boyfriends on a pedestal) is not just creepy but reprehensible behavior.

    I agree with the above posts. One side to the story and after reading the OP a few times, there are a few things that make me believe there is a LOT more to this story then what is posted. We can always blame the wife because we are not hearing her side.
    OP, good luck to you and I am absolutely sure you will hear from the Police very soon, if she did file charges.

    sorry about the status of your marriage. not all Filipinas are like that. i feel ashamed that someone from my race could treat anyone like that most especially her husband. it's because of cases like this that the USCIS is becoming stricter. isn't it ironic for instance to have your petition approved fast, pass the interview with no issues and then when you enter the land of milk and honey, and marry the petitioner, you suddenly turn into a complete stranger, who does not know how to compromise. i assure you that not all of us are like that - cunning and predatory. when we love someone sincerely we do so with a passion, and we will do anything for our loved one. again sir pls accept my apologies in behalf of my fellow filipinas who might be put in a bad light because of what happened to you and your wife. may God bless you.

    Mina90 reacted to aaron2020 in Denied Tourist Visa to the US... What now??   
    You feel your wife as a foreign national is ENTITLED to get a tourist visa.
    You don't like paying US taxes. So you don't file US tax return as required because "you don't work for a US company." This is wrong, US citizens are required to report ALL income regardless of source on their income tax returns.
    You think your words are enough. People at the US Embassy who are charged with enforcing immigration laws are stupid and know less than you.
    Come on.
    You don't pay your US taxes like you are suppose to. And yet you insist on receiving all the benefits. How do you think the rest of us US taxpayers think about providing a tax dodge with a tourist visa for his wife?
    Get with the program or stay out. You and your wife are not special. You don't get an exception to the rules. We all followed the rules, so do you if you want to get your wife over to the US.

    Mina90 reacted to Cathi in Denied Tourist Visa to the US... What now??   
    The embassy does not care about the weather in New England or whether or not you turn into "popsicles". There is a legal way for US citizens to get visas for their spouses to the US, and that is not a visitor visa, it is an 130 petition for cr1/ir1 visa. You can argue all you want about what you think is right or wrong and it won't get you anywhere, you are talking to a group of people who took this process seriously, did their research,filed the correct type of petition for visa, paid all the fees, and waited in line. You are banging your head against a wall if you think that arguing your case here is going to convince any of us that you should be the exception to the rule. If I were you I would start reading the guides here at the top of the page, and if you want your spouse to be able to visit next year for the holidays you should start your petition soon. Good luck.

    Mina90 reacted to N-o-l-a in My sister overstayed her Tourist visa   
    As I am sure you are aware, the way to start fresh in a new place is through legal means. My aunt waited for years and years and years to enter legally. Your sister doesn't get a free pass because she likes America better. Tell her to leave, buy her a ticket, and have her live in a country legally. Being an illegal doesn't give anyone dignity.

    I know this is a huge can of worms to open, but I can't avoid it.
    You mention that you want to bring her here. Has anyone asked her what SHE wants? Your post is full of me, me, my family, me.
    Quite apart from any legal considerations of age, etc ... the K-1 visa requires declarations of intent from BOTH parties. She will be the one interviewed at the consulate (assuming you even get that far). Maybe she does want to marry you ... but maybe she would like to finish school, or even go to college, or make her own choices in the world. Have you asked her?

    Mina90 reacted to pushbrk in Does my mother in law file petition for daugther in law?   
    Yes, 21 is correct. Not really an option in this case but it's important the OP stops grasping at straws and deals with the real issue, which is that her spouse has a Conviction that falls under the Adam Walsh Act. That's why his petition was denied. She doesn't have another avenue to go around this problem. She has to work THROUGH it.

    Mina90 reacted to hamigirl710 in Denied visa because under AWA   
    How do you suppose she challenge a law that is there for her safety? Her husband is a sex offender and this law was created for specific reasons and that is not to punish her but keep her and her child safe. Immigration is a privilege not a right and her husband does not qualify. Even a psychiatrist would not sign off saying he is recovered and won't do it again. I feel bad for her but the law is there for good reasons.

    Mina90 got a reaction from NikLR in Visa Process Confusion   
    When is your brother's wedding?
    Your husband cannot apply for a visa. YOU are the one applying a visa for him through the I-130 petition. There is a guide hereMy link. We all want our spouses here ASAP but USCIS doesn't work that way. ASAP is relative (for USCIS, the fastest could be 5-6 months). Generally, the entire process ON AVERAGE can range between 6-9 months, some more, some less. Depends entirely on your case. Every case is different.
    Since you applied for the I-130 last week, you probably received the NOA1 ( 1-757C receipt).
    Next, you have to wait for the NOA2 (approval of I-130)- this takes the longest, right now the average is 5 months for most centers.
    Then, it gets transferred to NVC (National Visa Center). They will send you your number, you send in the AOS (affidavit of support-income), some forms (DS-3032,I-864, DS-230 )plus you have to pay the bills for those too ( I think one is $88, other is $230 as of right now).
    After all that is received, confirmed and APPROVED, you move on to the next step: INTERVIEW. Your husband will go to an assigned consulate in India for the interview, and IF approved, he will get his visa.
    THIS IS YOUR STEP TO GETTING A VISA. The whole point of an I-130 is to obtain a visa to come to the US.
    You could try other visas, such as tourist, but there is a HIGH chance(almost 100% chance, reason being he is your husband and has a likely chance of overstaying and other immigration issues) it will be denied. BUT since you've already started the I-130, I suggest you stick with that since it's the best way.
    I'm sorry, but the process isn't quick. We're all impatiently waiting for our loved ones to come. You have to just wait in line for your turn. Hopefully that helps answer your question.
