I agree he should not lie, I do not use marijuana or promote it’s use, however, it is a bit ridiculous to be banned for using a drug in the past, no matter how recent the past is, especially when 1. It is legal in many states for medical or recreational  use and 2. It is not criminalized in the applicants home country and is actually somewhat normal/accepted to use it in his country. It’s not like he is using heroin. Come on.

Hmm... this is not VJers making the decision here.  It is what it is.

Good wishes, i do feel sorry for those getting a one year ban for possibly a one time use of marijuana years ago... 

In your case however, there will likely be a one year ban even if his system is clean due to past use.  Enough posts on this site to tell you that.  This is how it is.

If he chooses to hide the truth and a sensitive test picks it up he will have a life time ban.

you are correct in that these medical issues are bankrupting me, I cannot blame my fiancee for what happened, it's not her fault.  We also have a son together who an American citizen.  I want to be with my son as well as my wife/fiancee (been together for 5 years).  I am not going to walk away, and as for some of the previous comments you are also right about her not telling me the whole truth initially (she was able to hide a pregnancy from me).  So in other words I do not care where this child came from, it is sad and heartbreaking on how this child came to be, to be with my son and my wife, I will accept this child as well.

Reapect to you for not walking away, for giving the benefit of doubt.

i know men who will break a relationship for not telling them about the smallest of things.

i truly hope you are not being scammed.  If so, she deft needs therapy to learn to trust to confide in a man as deserving of trust as you.

Maybe.  It depends on whether they can convince the officers at the border that they will return to their country.  I would think their evidence would have to be very, very strong since they have an intent to immigrate......but there is a strong possibility that they will be denied entry.....

 

'Very very strong' is misleading.  I know 10s of people personally who barely got asked even in the same situation. Same for myself and my kids.  On one of my trips I am sure they didn't even know i had a petition filed, i wanted to tell him even - but he said have a great stay even before i could say anything.  All he asked was why i was here and I said to meet my husband.

If its been at least a bit since you filed say 3 months or so its even safer (from what i have seen around) of course final decision is of CBP officer.  They know that most decent families dont want to mess their papers by staying on.   

Has he sponaored anyone before.  More details needed.

Are you from Pakistan?

No one answered your question am sorry for that and I don't have 100 percent answers for you.

The US LEGALLY ALLOWS THIS. 

Its expensive but for sure you are okay with that as you know what you are doing.

While dating and the awaiting for CR1 papers.  I have travelled in and out of the US at least 15 times on long haul flights via diff airlines and countries -every flight had anchor babies flying back home.

Dear original poster wait for a bit longer you will get you answers.

A good lawyer should be able to

appeal that there was no intention of misrepresenting and that you coulf have waited 9 days to submit application.

I know when we got our licencse the lady congratulated us and we were asking ourselves if that sort if means we are married.

i wont go into details but i had a similar issue with divorce date (prev marriage) and they understood amd accepted as a genuine misunderstanding.

if your lawyer presents facts well I do think things can sort for you.  Good wishes.

Likely visa will not be issued.  Do the meds and submit asap.

Why have you not filed yet??  This is the most confusing aspect.  You tried for B2 in 2015 left it at that??

File.

Chances of being accepted only start after that!

The red flag is more if you only met once, you have met several times since so it's not really to worry about.

Good wishes on your pregnancy.

@MollyHill please let this rest and don't get into discussions further as you don't need to re-live your ordeal.

have had a terrible ordeal and lost lifetime savings, changed life plans and a thriving business as a result of my b1/b2 being cancelled at one point.  I married a US citizen (never intended to AOS and left after wedding in US) - yes would keep visiting US to see hubby and Business meetings.  My travel history was good enough to show them I was traveling for no more than 8 to 9 days at a time every 6 weeks even though it was such a long haul flight.  The likes of me can't think I Aos as we need to keep traveling.  We were going to file CR1 if required as at that point we were not sure who was moving and both still assessing our businesses.

Without going into details of how - The nightmare, the depression, messed up a lot and even though after 10 months they approved a new B1/B2 and I have now just moved to the US on CR1.  I am still reeling from the aftermath.  But I do see it as part of trying to keep out those who circumvent immigration laws.

Some 'innocent' are always affected in the process of keeping a country safe and making sure immigration rules followed.

A real man is never abusive, never.  

 

I too, like you, lived with one and it started that first week we lived together and there were good months in which nothing happened over the years, but now I know from being with someone who isn't abusive that there should never even be one situation that could be classified as abusive.  That isn't normal.  

 

OP has a child and that changes the risk level with staying.  I know I left my ex when I was pregnant.  Children are always the most important.

 

 

True - a man raised Half well would never disrespect his woman and never in front on a child...regardless.  My BIL was diagnosed with about five conditions incl schizophrenia after a break down has he ever hurt my sis or his kids - broken stuff maybe. Ran naked yes - but To date been a decade even when he has completely lost it has he even used a swear word..

those who do it will repeat.  Reasons could be anything including severe anxiety but leaving is the best solution.

OP is incredibly strong... its easy to be too embarrassed of what society would say,  too overwhelmed on how difficult it is to move... but I respect you.  Leave and keep us posted.

ouh ok.

yes I did pass the interview and medical, but after the medical they did not tell me the result of the medical. what I also noticed is that at the embassy they did not check the medical, they just interviewed me.aAgain I even asked the clinic they refuse to tell me the result they said confidential.

so I wanted to know what is contained in the envelop just in case. in addition, if my medical not ok could I have a visa? and if I had a visa and later on the medical showed to be bad will I be denied entry to the US.

again , and sorry missileman, you mentioned the package could contain any information that the officer at the consulate deems appropriate for the officer at the border to have. what possible notation could the consular officer making?

This is immigration and they are not joking!  If you didn't clear medical you would not get your visa.

and don't rely just on your lawyer on the annulment.  Do some research yourself.  I believe you should be able to get an annulment which will surely help for her not to get her 10 yr GC.  Any way I don't think she is getting her 2 year one either based on time line.  She tried to play it smart but failed.  

Chin up.  XX

I have not gone through every message on here - but I do think you can get an annulment.  You have doctor's reports also to support that claim.

An annulment and updating the possibility of scam and the story will make it very difficult for her to renew her 2 year GC in the unlikely case she gets that...

1/2/3 - all yes

4 - your call

Same answer for your reassurance.  It's what I did - no issues

I had a similar spelling issue with both mum and dads name - one alphabet here and there.  Was never questioned.  Papers done.  A resident now.

Incorrect. If they enter on an immigrant visa, no AOS is needed.

Edit: Clarification...getting married won't automatically grant any status. She can petition for him to get an immigrant visa once she becomes an LPR.

OP is not referring to AOS, she is talking about marital status and status on paperwork and name change.

@GeloSandra your mum will have to change status but I didn't think anywhere in the world name change is compulsory - are you from Philippines? 

Anyway if it is necessary file after she changes status.  Her being married does not change your ability to apply for her.

Intent is determined at the port of entry and isn’t an issue anymore and can’t be used to deny AOS. Neither does OP’s beneficiary need any “good reason” to adjust status. 

If it was his intent to AOS is it still okay?

How did this happen?  What was intent when spouse entered the country?  You will really need to prove good reason for plan to AOS and that entry was visit only.  

No effect?  Wondering why you would think that way?  If he gets his B2 visa he can visit.  If not he cannot that's it.

i hope our files finally get pulled out (4 month wait for an interview date so far) but it's sad that it takes a travel ban to speed things up for applicants from uae. i still think they should prioritize uae applicants and look into distributing iranian applications among a larger pool of neighbouring countries. 

Far too many reasons why only the UAE works for Iran applicants, so that's not changing.  My strongest thought though has been they should increase IV interviews even if it means cutting NIV.

??  Last year NOA2 at Nebraska took about 5 to 8 months on average.  Texas and Potomac were faster but a very rare case got approved in one month maybe Philippines etc.  you have got your months wrong.

Thats definitely seems more comforting to hear and i do hope we get to move forward. But let me ask you this when you mentioned 20 people were at the embassy when you were there. Were they all IV or was it a mixture of tourist visas and the rest?

I am referring to IV.  They do between 100 to 200 NIVs per day.  The do 20 IV per day ( confirmed by many others also).  It's 20 tokens issued, could be a family or individual per token.

even if they have very few NIVs on a certain day.  They still only take 20 IV.  The day I was there they had half the number of NIV and were empty by 10 30.  Still IV. Interviews are limited.  As an exception etc - they do schedule 21 on an odd day.

Believe me I did incredible research as my interview was going to be there.  In the end I got an expedite.
