MedRoni reacted to Linds&Youssef in I got an email from consulate.
Zagray, you can do a bit of deductive reasoning on the letter the Consulate sent you. There are only a handful of reasons you can be denied a fiance visa:
*you have a communicable disease
*you run the risk of becoming a burden on the US government
*you've been found guilty of a heinous crime (murder, rape, human trafficking, arms trafficking, drug trafficking, racketeering, etc.)
*you are associated with a known terrorist organization or you appear to intend harm to the citizens or government of the US
*your relationship is not (or appears not to be) legitimate
Since the document you received doesn't have check marks next to the ones about communicable disease or becoming a burden on the US government, I'd have to assume that they either found something in your background that makes them think you wouldn't be a law-abiding resident or that your relationship is fake. Only you know your history. I can't answer for you what the problem is because it's something only you know. If you don't have a criminal record of any kind and you don't appear to have potential for terrorist acts, then I'd say the problem lies in the appearance (or lack thereof) of a legitimate fiance(e) relationship. If that's the case, then you will need to find more convincing evidence of your relationship's sincerity before applying again. Otherwise, the others are right: you'll just be denied all over again.
On another note, it does seem somewhat suspicious that your fiancee doesn't appear interested in taking this process seriously enough to do her own research.... perhaps that, in itself, is a red flag? Hope this helps...

MedRoni reacted to Harpa Timsah in Cr-1 denied
His repeat offenses trying to cross illegally will make it impossible for him to ever come to the US. He did that on his own, and is comtemplating it again. Not smart.

MedRoni got a reaction from Asia in Cr-1 denied
Your family may not want you and your baby to leave, but what do you and your husband want?
You may need to eventually face that moving there may be your only option to be together.
I do wish you guys the best of luck!!

MedRoni reacted to rlogan in Complicated K-1 situation
You have to be hurting, but thank God you are ending it.
It will take a while before you can look back on this with a clear mind. There is reason for hope because you are divorcing her. But also reason for worry, by not recognizing the problem.
This girl ripped your heart out and ate it right in front of you. But you don't seem to recognize this as abuse, excusing it because she loved her mother so much. She lied to you, took your money, left you... because she didn't want to hurt you. You've been quick to lash out at people saying you might be a troll, which is a huge signal to you that the story is so abusive it is hard to believe - but hold this scammer in high regard and give solace to yourself because you "did all you could."
Actually, no: our first duty is self-preservation. Doing all we can means to look at actions instead of listening to words. Marriage is not about being a martyr. The martyr dies and you're no good to anyone dead. The giddy feeling you had getting married tells us you did not see the red flags we all know were there but that you did not recognize. Go back over this relationship and look for places where you had a gut feeling something was amiss, but you allowed it to be explained away. It turns out those are the most important things to be paying attention to.
Develop that radar.

MedRoni reacted to pushbrk in Denied visa because under AWA
For you and other readers to be clear, no visa has been applied for or denied. What was filed and denied was your husband's petition in your behalf. You have two choices as I see it in terms of next steps. 1. Give up and the US Citizen moves to the spouse's country, or 2. US Citizen hires a qualified Immigration attorney with experience getting AWA denials overturned. Even if you choose 2. it is quite possible you'll end up being left with either 1 or 3 or 4. 3. would be you never live in the same country and 4 would be you live together in a third country.

MedRoni reacted to Ryan H in Forms for NVC - Ok, how long should this take, really
Bluntly tell the lawyer not to wait anymore, you are paying her. If she won't go along, fire her.
This is only my opinion, only you can ultimately decide how you want to proceed in your dealings with the lawyer.

MedRoni got a reaction from rade2rising in Format of Letter to Senator Office
Did you check online at your State Senator's website? Mine had a "help with immigration" section and a form letter all ready to go on hers. All I had to do was fill in the blanks and fax!
Worth checking out, anyway
Looking at your timeline you aren't really outside the average waiting time for your processing center so the Senator's office may make you wait a bit.

MedRoni reacted to amysaid in How to deal with leaving
It's super hard... if I had a dollar for every tear I shed in a cab, airport waiting room, shuttle bus, etc. when I was leaving Egypt I'd be a rich woman. But honestly, even with all of those tears, it was nothing compared to the heart-wrenching goodbye that my husband had with his family (sisters, nieces, brothers) when he was finally leaving with me. Because they all knew that he wouldn't be seeing them again for at least a few years (it's been three years now, and not sure yet when we will be able to go back to visit definitively. They were crying, then I was crying, then my daughter was crying because I was crying, and I felt like such a heel for taking him away from his family which obviously loved him so much. I think sometimes we forget that as much as it pains us to live away from our husbands/wives during the immigration process, it is also painful for them to move away from their families.

MedRoni got a reaction from Ryan H in Cairo NOT participating in e-mail process! WHYYY!!!
Exactly... your anger is misguided. We couldn't file them electronically for Algeria either. But I was ready as I had looked this up on the government website months ahead of time... in the I-130 stage. We were ready to go and made it through the NVC stage quickly.
Egypt is not out to get you. Sorry...
Now keep in mind if he is put in AP after the interview - which is a good possibility it is also not just Egypt trying to screw you over.

MedRoni reacted to sandinista! in Automatic 2 year wait
With all due respect to those who have successfully overcome denials at Casablanca and gone on to have successful relationships, and with all due respect to those who have legitimately been caught completely off guard by total scammers without any warning, I find it totally insulting that the hard work my husband and I put in to having a successful outcome at Casablanca is completely dismissed out of hand by someone with no experience there whatsoever. The work, time, and money we invested in the whole process deemed meaningless, because according to this person, it's a completely capricious process, devoid of any nuance on the part of consular officers, and we just "happened" to get lucky. Despite all evidence to the contrary, displayed in more than one thread, this person's braying insistence about Casablanca being staffed by heartless, mindless drones is not going to serve them well when they reach this part of the process.

MedRoni reacted to NY_BX in Cairo NOT participating in e-mail process! WHYYY!!!
At which point did you realize there's more work to do? One of the reasons you can't file electronically is fraud. MENA countries are notorious over this, so they have it to protect you. Another reason is the lack of resources within the country. Internet and other new media outlets are unreliable, putting it lightly. So, it's a lot easier and safer to simply process all this the traditional way.
Sorry to be blunt, but this is not Egypt's fault. If you were pregnant and getting ready to have a child, with more reason you should've done thorough research and finalized the whole work so he could be with you in a timely manner. That said, yes, we all make mistakes and we let things fall through the cracks. It happens. Look at it this way, this is just paperwork and it'll get done.
Keep in mind the AP process. You may be looking at early next year, for his arrival. Good luck.

MedRoni reacted to VanessaTony in Expedite based on financial hardship
in this case the financial hardship was insane... $11K for schooling? It was about saving money, not about being poor now.. which is a big difference.
The OP wants the child born in the US because it's expensive to fly there and because he doesn't have the money now to do that - which is bad with the whole "supporting the immigrant" issue.
He also said he has a $100 co-pay. Others have stated medical in the Philippines is cheaper than in the US. Unless and extremely large amount I doubt they'll approve on those grounds.
Honestly expedite based on pregnancy tends to only work when it's a high-risk pregnancy or something like that. I wish the OP best but I also kinda don't... while I sympathise with the situation, it's not a high risk pregnancy or anything remotely emergent if they start expediting based on pregnancy then people will start getting knocked up to save time. I'd have saved thousands in rent if I moved quicker, like most of us probably would have. There are people supporting two households on their one US income due to immigration stuff.. it's a hard road for a lot of people but you can only make the choices to minimise the difficulties you might face.

MedRoni reacted to Tim/Mav in Mistreatment, Mishandling or down right apalling behavior of Embassy Officials
I personally catorize this as Spam. The OP has no time-line and does not share what pissed them off. But, wants stories. It suggests: That Members come forward to aq new-bees and spill their guts. If in fact you have a reason and a Petition with problems then be more precise as to what the problem is and that will help in your responses.

MedRoni reacted to canadian_wife in Help Help Help ASAP
Have you called NVC? Occasionally they will close the case and the documentation will need to be given at the interview. Other times they cannot close the case until the supporting documentation is given at NVC
Best to call them and see what they want
Good luck

MedRoni reacted to rlogan in K-1 Sadness
Thanks for that "reveal". I've seen a lot of malicious stuff from you. This shows that you identify with the scammers.

You have a manipulative person scamming you. It is very important to make your decision, separate yourself from her, and not allow yourself to be manipulated with either a false VAWA claim or going right back to the original scam of pretending she loves you. You are sleeping with the enemy. These kinds of people have no scruples and are happy to ruin your life to get what they want. It is imperative to protect yourself.

MedRoni reacted to Marlon&Fallon in Lies and deception. Be aware, please!
I would say this is the wrong site to come to and try and convince people that all relationships with foreigners are most likely to be fraudulent when most here are involved in long distance relationships or have reached the end of their journey and are now together. You should only speak for yourself and not make a general statement based on your experience. It is unfortunate what happened to you, but that doesn't mean that everyone from a foreign country is only out to get a green card by any means necessary.
As for myself, being the foreign spouse, I did not enter my marriage for immigration purpose; and I have no hidden agenda. I'm not one who is motivated by selfishness and greed and will stop at anything get what I want. I'm only motivated by love and the desire to start our lives together and raise our son who is on the way.
Don't use your experience to paint other people. Not everyone is the same.

MedRoni reacted to canada_socks in Lies and deception. Be aware, please!
It only seems like a majority are, because those are the ones you hear about. I bet for every one fraudulent international marriage, there are overt a hundred more honest and real ones.
Just like the media...portraying the bad in society to create fear in humankind. You won't hear of every good deed, but you will hear of every murder!

MedRoni got a reaction from Krikit in Women getting approved at higher rate?
When I spoke directly to the Algiers embassy they told me almost all men age 18 - 45 go through AP for security purposes because Algeria is considered a "terrorist risk" country. My guess is all MENA countries are. This along with the high fraud rates would account for a lot of the differences you see in these areas.

MedRoni got a reaction from HK12 in How to go about providing chats/sms evidence when you are arguing alot?
This implies you never have good chats or sms messages. Surely you must have some good ones? Just use those.
If you do not have any, I would say you have other things to worry about as well.
Try to focus and find all the positive proof you have - maybe facebook posts, pictures, notarized letters from family and friends, etc. and best of luck!

It is because you are at 7 months... which is outside of processing times. Nothing can be done one month into the process.
