Amir&Toni

We received our welcome letter an hour ago and paid the aos fee.
 
It's finally happening..!

I am 21 years older than my husband, I'm Catholic, he's Muslim. We didn't have any issues.It was back in 2012 before Trump and his Muslim ban. 

if your marriage is genuine, you will be approved. 
 
I am 16 years older than my husband, I thought it would be an issue, but throughout our immigration process, not a question was asked. 

Here is what I know from my sister-in-law who interviewed in Yerevan.  Once you receive your interview date, email one of the Yerevan approved physicians (see attachment) .  Tell them the interview date and they will schedule a time for you to come for the medical exam.  It takes around 2 days for results.  I would buy my ticket for one week with the option to change if needed.  If the visa is approved they will keep his passport and the visa will be ready in a few days.  If you go into AP, they will return the passport so he can return home and wait.
 
A copy of your passport is ok as long as all of his documents (passport, birth cert, police cert, military card) are originals.  You might also start working on form DS-5535, because they will probably want this.   
 
I'm not sure about the travel ban.  I'm in the same situation because my husband is from Iran.  From what I've seen from others who have had a K1 interview, they will put your fiance in AP pending the supreme court ruling.  You might want to talk to an attorney before making travel arrangements.

Hi June filers,
 
I just saw this on the May petition threat and would like to share it with you guys. If you have a minute to spare please help out by signing this petition. thanks
 
"hello all: 
 
Just wanted to share a quick update. We were invited to interview at the US Embassy in Yerevan a few days ago. the website took a few days to give us an appointment date but it finally gave us an opening on the 11th.  However, we will not be interviewing for now per my lawyers advice. She has not heard of a single applicant that has been given a visa, including spouses and children.  No iranian immigrant has received a visa (all categories) since the trump travel ban took effect on December 4th. Our lawyer advised us that the best thing to do is to try and extend our NOA2 expiration date as long as possible until the laws change. We are praying that the 4th circuit appeals court and the supreme court find this whole thing unconstitutional before our NOA2 expires. Otherwise, we will have to start all over..
 
As you can imagine, we are devastate and drained.  Please help us by signing this petition: (just needs your name and zip code)

Congratulation to everyone who made it to the end! "
 
 

I get so upset with situations like that...I'm mean I get F&@$$K angry 😡...
Why they don't denied the petition with the NOA2?... instead of that, they let the person go through the whole process, given an approval with a NOA2? Maybe this person has already given up his house, job, said goodbye to friends and family... 
to go to an interview and get denied??
That is Sadomasochism to me...
"-You know what... lets just see the sadness in they face when we say... "you're denied" "
 
Don't understand me wrong... but not everybody wants to live in the US... most of us are going because our fiancé can't or it is better for our future to be in the US for now...
 
Forgive me if I offended someone....It's not my intention at all .. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes... People from those countries can also follow in love... 

Age difference can be overcome, I'm 20 years older then my husband, I don't look it, but still I'm much older.
Sometimes I also think if the man is in his 30 at least and the woman is older, I think its looked upon differently, after all being in the thirties is not Young, young, understand?
 
A friend of mine, she is 18 years older then her husband from Tunisa, she is 47..... they were approved on the spot for a K1 visa.
You have good evidence of being together, time well spent.  I've know other couples from Egypt, Morocco, and other African countries who the woman was considerably older, but they all had a solid proof of a relationship.  Stay positive, keep collecting all future evidence for such as the interview.
Very best wishes on your journey.

There is a waiver program to proclamation 9645 (Travel Ban 3.0) but I believe this is done at the Consul's office at the time of the interview.  My understanding is these waivers are rarely approved but I would take a lot of documentation and try as hard as you can.  
 
(c) Waivers. Notwithstanding the suspensions of and limitations on entry set forth in section 2 of this proclamation, a consular officer, or the Commissioner, United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or the Commissioner's designee, as appropriate, may, in their discretion, grant waivers on a case-by-case basis to permit the entry of foreign nationals for whom entry is otherwise suspended or limited if such foreign nationals demonstrate that waivers would be appropriate and consistent with subsections (i) through (iv) of this subsection. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall coordinate to adopt guidance addressing the circumstances in which waivers may be appropriate for foreign nationals seeking entry as immigrants or nonimmigrants.
