    NewBeginnings1 got a reaction from bostonBruce in update on age differance & collaboration.   
    I don't know your faith or what you refer to to ground yourself. However, the advice I can give is to take your time and get to know this woman. Spend time with her family as they will become yours. Really focus and self-check yourself and not just reassure yourself based on words. She may love you and be excited about building a life in America. However, many Jamaican only know what they see on TV or what they have been told about America. Once they get here, they quickly see how they lived in paradise and Americans work harder, play less, and have many expenses.
     
    I'm not saying there aren't true love stories, but I can say there are lots of deceivers out there. You meet, get hypnotized by the charm and what seems humble and sincere demeanor, and then after all is done you realized it was  just a veil. What is meant to be will be and you must be patient. Sometimes what is perceived as a roadblock could be a devine intervention.
     
    While you wait, continue to build your future. A congressional inquiry only helps if your congress person is for immigration. It is expensive migrating someone and also time consuming. This country is huge in comparison and completely different than Jamaican culture. Remember many Jamaican's never have left the island that is about is big as Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Jamaica is not America and the immigration process is not the greatest challenge about marrying someone who is from abroad. Marriage is serious and we as Americans tend not jump in and jump out of marriage. K1s need to be reformed to allot more time so couples can have more time to discern and get to know each other as well as adjust to a new life. 
     
    Subscribe to the "Adjustment of Status" or "Removal of Conditions" forums to gauge the challenges further along the process. Many will arrive to this country, realize it isn't a dream land they perceived it to be, and accept they have to work just as hard as they did back home to survive. You will see some posts where the financial arguments start, then the cheating, then the violence. I've been seeing these types of post for the past four years.
     
    Just be still, seek your peace, and trust that if she and you are meant to be things will fall into place.
     
    Good luck!

    You will be okay to divorce and still remove conditions. You should look at the "Removal of Conditions" forum and read the many threads on this topic. It will be a lengthier and costlier process. Have you even looked at the forms or read the instructions?  If not, start there and if you don't know seek help from an attorney or local legal aid.

    NewBeginnings1 got a reaction from N-o-l-a in Child custody between countries. Advice needed.   
    you definitely are going to have to seek legal advice/counsel. This definitely complicates things. I do know US and Canada have an agreement to enforce child support.
    Good luck. It definitely sucks when circumstances force us to make such difficult situations. Are there any legal aid resources where you live? You could also contact the local YMCA and see if anyone there can help point you to community resources. If he is using finances to control you that is in essence a form of domestic violence.

    NewBeginnings1 got a reaction from Pennydrop in I864 withdrawl from spouse. Substitute allowed?   
    I read it at this link : http://www.ilw.com/articles/2008,1014-berd.shtm. Now I question if anyone gets approved for removal of conditions if divorced within the two years. The way this reads, it makes it seem like UCIS will auto deny anyone who isn't still in a bone fide marriage at the time of removing conditions.

    yes very true. Don't marry someone you meet on vacation. remember these people spend their lives observing American culture. They take advantage of a situation. There are far and few here who actually make it. TLC has 90 day visa, they should do a post show Removing Conditions and see how many made it past the two years. Many of these people come with an agenda and use emotional warfare to you over.

    She should get marry since pregnant and up her chances
    although there are many complaints about anchor babies,
    She should marry give birth, have job letter and good
    bank balance because the COs are aware kids are left
    with grand-parents for yrs. If her situation have not improved
    she will be denied again.

    How USCIS see's good faith and how your average person see's good faith are not the same thing.
    Continuing to live in the same household is evidence they look at. Filing taxes together, getting mail at the same address, loans together, all evidence of good faith. I kind of doubt they looked at my wife and I's FB pages when she removed conditions, but they would have seen plenty there showing things we always do together.
    Withholding a divorce you plan to have until after you don't sign the joint papers to remove conditions, is probably playing in his favor, as it shows a longer marriage.
    I can see you would like to hurt him, and get him booted out of the country, he probably deserves it. But the system isn't really set up to work that way. You'd be better served to cut your losses and cut the creep loose now, and move on with your life.

    I have no words to say, becuse every word will double your pain,i would say Listen your inner voice and keep your chin high. THIS SMALL POEM ............... We use to laugh and talk all night.
    Now we argue, fuss, and fight.
    All is wrong in things I do.
    To take the blame is never you.
    So quick to run when things get rough.
    Your best excuse its just to tough.
    Home alone has become my life.
    Did you forget you had a wife.
    I keep it secret when things turn bad.
    Because our kids love their dad.
    I'll sleep tonight on what I wrote. As I leave this good-bye note.
