    StoneKay reacted to rollitup in WIfe keeps threatening me that she will go to the battered shelter (merged)   
    What rights do I have as a man? and what can I do?
    Her two year visa is up in September. 
    My wife is unhappy with our marriage. When she is happy she does many things to help out, cooking, cleaning, ironing and I do appreciate all that but even then we had too many fights about how controlling she is. Now she's getting advice from a Filipina friend to just go to the shelter so she can start her new life. Every time she gets mad she brings all her clothes downstairs from the room. She gets so jealous and makes make believe stories in her head. If she hears the neighbors that she is jealous about laughing together she thinks they are laughing at her. She gets explosively angry, tearing my shirt. I cant go in the front yard without a potential problem because she thinks I like the neighbors. I cant go into the bathroom with my phone because she thinks I will message a woman. She's very controlling about one of my sisters that I have its always monitored conversations and questions when I do call my sister without her. She's injured my ribs, drilled my hand, punched me slapped me, etc.
     
    So recently she left and I went to find her and bring her back. But every time I don't agree with her she keeps threatening me that she will go in the battered woman's shelter. And she almost did it the last time. Before when we would argue she would threaten me buy saying she wanted to go home forever.  After about 100 times of hearing that I finally agreed. She changed her tone and now I feel suffocated into going to that interview in September. It took years to get her the annulment and now married almost 3 years so if I want a divorce she guilts me by saying I wasted 12 years of her life and she will fight for her rights. 
    I don't know what to do anymore, all I know is I am not happy at all.

    It is not going to get any better it could get a lot worse.
     
    You need a divorce lawyer
     
    What rights do you have well none.
     
    I assume you are talking about removal of conditions she can do that without you with a divorce waiver
     
    My guess is you know what to do but have not faced the inevitable

    StoneKay reacted to John & Rose in FORM I-130   
    There have been no new forms so that is still the current form.  I think they thought they would update the form on a regular basis but that was way more work than they anticipated.

    CR1/IR1 AKA spousal visa is basically applying for US greencard to be a permanent resident in the US. I look at this way- with a visitor's visa (B1/B2) you have to proof to the CO that you do not an immigrant intent without fraud but with Spousal visa (CR1/IR1) you have to proof an immigrant intent without fraud. The CO officer refused you B1/B2 visa twice because you didn't convince them enough that you do not have an immigrant intent. Another way to put it, the CO thinks you have an immigrant intent. That's why they are advising you to try the spousal visa route.

    Option 3 would be to immigrate to the US and live there until you become a US citizen. One can qualify after 3 years of being a permanent resident via being USC's spouse. Once you're a citizen, you can be abroad as long as you want. That said, both permanent resident and US citizens are taxed on worldwide income (although most to all of it can be excluded from actually paying taxes on it in many cases).

    It is extremely difficult for a B1/B2 applicant to be approved when they are married to a USC. There is a very strong assumption made by CO's that the applicant will want to stay in the US and live there, which is not the purpose of a B1/B2.
     
    You've applied twice for a B1/B2 in a short period of time? That also can be viewed as desperation to get to the US. They assume immigrant intent here. If you want to live in the US and move there, apply for a CR1/IR1. If you have no intention to live in the US with your spouse, don't bother. But keep in mind it will be very difficult to get a B1/B2 in this situation.
     
    If the goal is to have the family members meet, you might need to consider a backup plan, such as having them visit you or meeting in a 3rd country.

    A spousal visa is an immigrant visa. As such, you would need to maintain permanent residency within the US or else it will become abandoned. Permanent residency generally includes spending more time within the US than outside of it. It's more complicated than that, but that's a very general guideline. If your plan is to visit, then a tourist visa is the way to do it. Unfortunately, unless there is a material change in the circumstances, he will continue to be denied. That said...option 2 would be to get a spousal visa, enter the US on that, then voluntarily abandon permanent residency once abroad again. No guarantees, but it does tend to show a favorable response for any future tourist visa application.

    StoneKay reacted to O&GForever in What does a completed I-130 Packet look like?   
    First off, I am sorry you have to go through this. Our K1 was denied in 2015. We started over with the CR1 and he’s now been here almost 2 years. 
     
    I would recommend sending in proof of your trips to Ghana. You mentioned photos which are great, but you should also include copies of your passport stamps, airline tickets and receipts, hotel receipts (if you stayed in one) and any receipts you may have from activities together. To this embassy, time spent together is the golden evidence. 
     
    With your photos, you probably don’t need to send that many. Try to pick about 7-10 from each trip that show you two in different locations, with different people and on different days. Don’t fill the packet with tight selfies that don’t show any kind of scenery. I would also included may 10-12 from your wedding. 
     
    If you look look at my timeline and the review I wrote after our CR-1 interview, you can see a list of all the evidence I submitted at each phase of the process.
