    Visa Denied! :(

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted · Edited by skysofialila

    Yes but his last entry hasn't been since 2005 and left 2010 so we can try to do things right and for him to be a better person and be able to have his family with me and our daughter.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. It must be so tough. The website and forums at http://www.immigrate2us.net/ have cases similar to yours and you might find some support there.

    I gave similar advice to someone who was going through something similar and moved to Brazil to be with her husband because he was barred from entering for 10 years for the same reason: If going to Mexico and living there for a while is not an option, you can try immigrating to Canada if you or your fiance went to college or trade school and can show that you're skilled workers. (Visit the official Canadian government site for more info: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp)

    Good luck! I hope everything works out for the best!

    On January 15, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

    OMG felicitaciones smile.png Congrats!!! This gives me a lot of hope because my NOA1 is 7/30/2014... I have not been transferred... but I wonder if our turn will come soon for either a transfer or an NOA2!!!!

    Except for the proof of no criminal record / police record, we have everything translated and ready to send off to the NVC once we get this darned NOA2!

    I am J-1 visa and I married with US citizen but need to change address

    What do u mean ??

    Means I have to go all the way from FL to MI ??

    for fingerprint and Bio can I do it in Florida ??

    Look at your J-1 visa. If it says "subject to two year rule" then you may NOT apply to adjust your status unless you file a waiver. If you are a student, then most likely you are subject to the rule.

    So afraid of making the wrong choice - I want to go home.

    in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

    I also grew up in a family like this, much like Ketsuban mentioned. My father had and still has violent outbursts. He never hit my mom, though...

    They waited until my siblings and I were in teens before they separated and divorced.

    I think they should have gotten divorced sooner.

    I'm going to say something important: STOP BLAMING YOURSELF. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT HE HAS THESE OUTBURSTS. YOU ARE NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON NOR A HORRIBLE MOTHER. PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT.

    Please see a therapist to help begin to heal on the inside. Trust in the universe/God/whatever you believe in to take if from there. He is abusing you emotionally. My father did this to us when we were growing up. My ex husband did this to me too - an exact copy of my father. This isn't your fault and you do not deserve this.

    Of course if he should ever lay a finger on you or your daughter, leave the marriage!

    Tonight is the last night I will be spending here with my husband before returning to the US. I really, really hope it is the last time we will ever say goodbye to each other. I hope that the next time we reunite will be with the IR-1 in hand..... ClockWatch2.gifcray5ol.gif
    Please USCIS, at least touch my application... anything at this point to let me know that it actually made it to someone's desk...!

    A few questions regarding the NVC

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    I am currently in Brazil visiting my spouse. I return to the US tomorrow. We've been proactive in getting everything translated and ready to go when we get to the NVC: Birth Cert, Police reports (we'll probably have to pull new ones because they're good for 3 months in case we don't make it to the NVC soon), military / army exemption, etc.

    Now, my questions are:

    1. Who sends these to the NVC? Do I mail them (from the US) or does the beneficiary mail them (from Brazil)? We're afraid that mailing them from Brazil will result in these documents getting lost. Would it be OK if I mailed everything from the US?
    2. I understand we have to send originals of everything, correct? So along with the translated copies, all original documents get sent to the NVC too?
    3. Will we get the originals back at the consulate interview?
    4. If all originals get sent to the NVC, what should my husband bring to the consular interview that they wouldn't already have?

    Thank you.

    This is so difficult. I have no idea how I've handled everything thus far. It really seems like this will never end and that I am condemned to spend the rest of my life at immigration's mercy (or lack thereof.)

    My husband came to the US for graduate school in 2005 (J-1 visa, subject to INS 212(e) - two year home residency rule requirement). We met in Feb 2008 and got married in April 2011. He graduated in Dec 2011 and we couldn't adjust status due to the J-1 visa... and applying for the waiver would mean paying back over $200K to the scholarships given to him by his country. So, we began a long distance relationship flying back and forth visiting each other every 4 months. Finally, we sent off the I-130 application July 2013. Dec 2013, the two year residency rule expired (yay!!!) but we're still waiting and waiting for that elusive NOA2. Our application is at the NBC. I check visa journey and the USCIS site several times a day with the hopes of seeing some kind of "approval". At this point, I'd be happy with a transfer or even an RFE!

    I suffer from nightmares. I have dreams that my application has been either lost or in some cases, denied completely. In one dream, I was at the NBC trying to find out why I was denied and I was being told to take a seat and wait... and wait and wait....

    I'm in his country now visiting. This separation has been tortorous for me.. for the both of us, really. I've been suffering from depression and anxiety. Now it is my turn to be in graduate school (I'm a 3rd year student) and it has been so difficult going through this without him by my side. It is so difficult to go out to places and see couples together. I die of envy. I wish that was me. I'd give anything to have my husband by my side. :( I've become a recluse. I don't want to go out because seeing couples together hurts me so badly. I have some friends who have gone through the green card process but they're all status adjusters and they don't understand. They got to wait in the US for 2-3 months for their green cards without having to endure being separated for over 2 years because of a stupid two year rule plus immigration dragging their feet on I-130 processes.

    This is so difficult. I don't know how to be strong anymore. I've come close to quitting school and everything and just flying down to my husband's country (unemployed) to be with him. Job prospects are not good for me there and going to graduate school has been a dream of mine. I really thought that this would be easier.

    Sorry, I'm crying as I write this. I just want a shoulder to lean on. You all here understand me - especially the I-130 filers. This is so painful and difficult. I don't know how to endure this anymore.

    2013 was a $#!tty year as was 2012. I hope that 2014 brings us all many blessings and reunites us with our loved ones. I just want my husband back. Why should we need a country's permission.. a damned piece of paper telling us that we can live with our spouse under the same roof? I hate how they refer to the beneficiaries as "alien relatives". We are all human beings regardless of where in the world we come from. Why should we need bureacracy and papers granting us "permission" to live with our spouses????

    This is so unbearable. I don't know how to be strong anymore :( I honestly feel that my I-130 packet went to a black hole and it will never, ever be adjudicated - just like in my nightmares.
