Loving the jokes on this thread, making this wait a little more entertaining. But seriously this whole thing is frustrating for us all and I have just been lucky enough to have had a visit from my usc man for my birthday, now he is home and I read this, been feeling lonely enough! CSC gonna be feeling some squeezing from us all if things don't get moving soon!!!

Let just keep the jokes coming and try to remember the end will come..... eventually!!

Good luck to you all xxx

Thank you for that info penguin!!! <3

Yeah we are going through the K1 process now, just worrying about if it gets denied since I have 5 kids to come with me. Trying to see what our options are if this doesn't work, boy I wish all of this wasn't so hard we just want to be together

No I didn't mean it is fraud to marry, but on all visa's needed to marry in the usa or other countries all seem to state that you can't marry on them. There must be one which allows you too?!?!? Like when I went to usa I entered via the vwp and I am sure one of the clauses on that was I must not marry while in the US using that kind of paperwork to enter the country.

I don't get how CR1's are even available since it is fraud to go and marry a partner in any circumstance :/ it seems no matter what way either person enters a any country your not supposed to marry while there :S How is anyone supposed to marry while staying within the law to be able to apply for the CR1?!?!?

My fiance had the same trouble on his first visit to me, we are currently planning on him coming here again for my birthday and have been so worried about having trouble again he almost didn't get in the first time and the thought of him being in my country and not getting to hold him is unbearable! I am so glad I found this thread, has put my mind at rest a little too Thanks for posting all this info guys and cheers to the OP for posting this query!! <3

good luck to you all! <3

I went through a similar fiasco with my K-1 visa petition of my fiance from Lagos. It is a very bad embassy to work with. We were denied in Nov. of 2011, and have been fighting ever since. By the way- we never received anything that looks like the yellow page you have received. The only reason for denial we were ever given was to print at the top of our petition "FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES ONLY" . I contacted my attorney (who helped us file), 2 congressmen, 2 senators, the ombudsman in DC, the USCIS, the NVC, and anyone else we could think of that might be of some influence. No one at the NVC, OR USCIS knew what to tell me. Everytime i would ask a question, I would get a different answer. The embassy in Nigeria would not even answer their phone- it rang and rang- not even a voice mail (I got their number from the State website). Since we were getting no answers, (and were being told that they could not locate our paperwork, and could not therefore get a reopening of our case, or a re-interview,) and the time was quickly approaching that our validity period for USCIS was ending, I made an appointment to visit my local USCIS office in Boise Idaho. I took all of our proof, and information (which was not even looked at, at the interview,) to explain our situation, and ask for an extension of our validity period. I was treated rudely by the officer at the counter, and basically laughed at. He said he had no way to extend the expiration date, and told me I was welcome to get more forms and re-file. I found this sooo frustrating. If the embassy is sure that we are trying to "scam" the system, wont we still be "scamming" if we re-file? and- if we re-file and are approved, does that mean that they were wrong with their first denial, and they will refund our money? We have been together for almost 3 years, and it makes me sick that money is keeping us apart. In the world today, it is very easy to meet someone from another country, shouldn't the laws change to reflect an easier way to be with the one you love?? The system is broken. It needs fixed. I want to fix it, but I don't know where to start. I feel your pain, and I have felt it for many years, it never dies, until you are with the one you love. Best of luck to you, and if you find something that works, let me know.

Couldn't agree with you more!!! This whole system just seems so unfair sometimes, I have found it seems to be one rule for one and quite another for someone else. Also some of their rules just seem ludicrous!!! Feels like your banging your head against a brick wall for a lot of people on here I am sure

So sorry your having such troubles to be with your loved one and hope it all works out for you xXx

and to the OP I really hope you manage to get some answers too!! I am so scared about what's going to happen with our own case so I can imagine how upsetting this must be for you and your loved one

Try to keep calm and just think methodically I guess cover all base's and keep your faith! <3
