back from cambodia

got a letter from uscis on my k3 visa

they sent me a blue form and a letter asking for a copy of the original marriage liscense in kamai,

now i since i don't read kamei i had to find a cambodian go through all my paper work and try to find a copy

which i don't have,

somehow it has been lost i think it was the lady whow did the k3 visa for me

whow is now missing,

and m wife can not find a copy in her stuff in cambodia.

my lwyer that i had in the beginning whow did the originalmarriage visa, whow i fired senr me all my paperwork, which i'm guessing was everything i sent to the lady whow did the k3 visa i29f, and sent me back everything, i think,

so no copy anywhere of original kamei marrige visa,

my wifes father went to where we got the first marrige visa the original when we were married, the don't have copies. nut they will make me a new one, will this be suffecient.

will i have to let them know it is not an original or a copy of the origional it's a new one.

she wants me to send her a copy of the english translation of the marriage certificate so the can make it as the first.

i'm wondering should they date it, the same as the original, or have both dates the original and the date its being remade

thanks

any help would ne apreciated.

have a great day

billy

where you at in old usa maybe we can meet

thanks again

i found a attorney by the name of marc ellis, and so far he has showed some interest in my case, he said he will look ay my paperwork interview my wife fora fee and then give me his evaluation

and we can go from there, wehave only emailed he said he might even meet my wife in seam reap this weekend for interview, so ithink he is based rightnow in vietnam, i'm nt sure, thats a guess,

but this is very hopefull for my wife and i.

the reason i was so gloom was the office manager for congressman jerry lewis here in redlands, whow handles imigration matters told me in no uncertain terms that when it goes to investigations like mine has that it can take yeats and nothing they can do or anyone else, and inher experience it wouldn't be aproved,

and i talked to another lawyer that would do a writ of mandamus, for 5000 retainer, and it could cot up to 10000 more with no guarantees

and now this ewlawyer marc ellis says definately not to do what holmes and tuttle suggested, tp withdraw both visas and start fresh with them, becouseitxould make her

enelligible to ever come to the usa ever again

wow

soo manyopinions

i wonder why this has to be so hard,

everyone has said the difference in our ages most probably is one of the problems, don't seem right

ohh well please keep helpinf thanks

it gives me hope

billy

any recomendations for a attorney

i justn spoke with a lawyer they told me to let them withdraw everything

and start from scratch they could guarantee me she would be here in 9 monthes

their fee refundable

if she can't get here

thanks

billy

any comments

the lady that does the imigration cases for congressman jerry lewis, whow i spoke with told me that when it takes this long to get aproved they never do

she basically told me to just forget it, that it was going to be denied had no sympathy and thought the process was just, do you think this is not true and it could still be aproved, and that this happens and people still get ok's

becouse i am going to keep fighting i'll go broke if i have to and sell everything

i made a committment to my wife and i am going to keep it.

this tough and its hard hetting real answewrs,

thanks for your help

and , would like to know if anyone else has had to wait this long, and what would you think the maxim amount of time they would make someone wait, like this?

any one know of any good imigration lawyers thaty are familiar with the cambodian side would this help?

someone told me i should go back to cambodia and go to the embassy there or call there, but i think that would be a waste

what do you think

thanks again

billy

thyen ypu believe the fiance visa can still be ok'd even while my fiance visa is in the investigative process?

thats what i would like to know, at leastone thing

and what is a writ of mandimus?

thanks

now were getting somewhere

i'm not rich and i don't want to fork ovwer a bunch of money to a attorney that can do nothing,

if my first attorney would of gone with the fiance route with the marriage in the first place this would have been already resolved, at least the fiance part, she might have already been here, but thats history, he lied and thats that

thanks for any and all help

billy

yes that is true but if our marriage visa has gone into investigations, which i'm told it has, then i would think the 2 would be klinked and thety would not aprove the 129 f either since i'm aleady in ivestiogations, but i don't know, thats what i'm trying to find out

they won't tell me anything

just that i should feel free to contact them if i don't hear anything within 6 monthes

i just can't believe i would be treated this way

it doesn't make any since to me

thanks

billy

its in laguna niguel california

and i was told that you can do a i29f form by the ins when i went on a info pass meeting they said you aply for this and it should take at the max 8 monthes and when it is aproved she can come here and wait for the marriage visa to get aproved

i 30 marriage visa first

i 29f last i guess this is a form of fiance visa

those are the forms

and only forms

have done each once

with my present wife

never done before with anyone else

thanks

billy

my heart is breaking

watch the website all the time

it never has asked for anything

they always tell me that the info on the website is wrong

yes they made a official inquiry

and my case has gone to investigations

they say that is all that they will tell them

and all they tell me is their dooing backround checks and if i don't hear anything from them within 6 monthes feel free to contact them again

the congrasssman lady said that these things can take years

and usually get denied, and you can't do anything till it is officially denied

you can email me billycal@adelphia.net

its not really that complicated its been almost 2 years since i aplied for the marriage visa

and 2 monthes ago i aplied for a k3 visa

they just tell me their still doing backround checks

can a lawyer do anything more than the congressmans inquiries

the congressmans secretary told me alwyer could do nothing tell its denied, and she said it could be in investigations for years

but what i want to know is the k3 visa going to be held up too

she says it will,

has any one had this type of problem

what should i do?

neither 1 has been aproved or disaproved, but i'm told that the i29 f won't be aproved if my marriage visa is being in investigated

i had a lawyer, and he never said anything about a k3 visa, i only found out about the k3 visa after about a year when i called the ins to find out why my visa was taking so long, i called my lawyer and asked him to do a k3 visa which he acted like he new nothing about but siad he would do it he never did, and i didn;t kow it, so i fired him and did the k3 visa 2 monthes ago,

i have never been aproved or didproved for the marrige visa yet,

even though online it did say 2 differnt times it was ok'd

but come to find out through further investigation it was a mistyake, now they are saying they have sent my marige visa to be further investigated

thanks

billy

i'm sorry i'm not clear, i'm quite upset

i got married in cambodia thanksgiving 2005

i applied for marriage visa feb 2006

i applied for 129f k3 visa 2 mothes ago

iwas just told by my congressmans secretary

that i probably won't be aproved if it hasn't been already

thanks

billy

just 1 woman

1 marriage

after talking to congressman jerry lewis's secretary today, i'm loosing all hope, this has been a long drawn out affair, i got married on aproximately thanksgiving 2years ago in cambodia, i'm a us citizen 55 years old, twice online it has told me i have been aproved and twice they have told me theres a mistake, i did a k1 visa 2 monthes ago, and recently i have wemt to see congressman jerry lewis in redlands ca, and his imigration lady has informed me that my case has been sent to investigations , and that it could take years to finish , thats her experience and that rarely do they get aproved when they have taken this long,

i just don't know what to do at this point, i had a la lawyer and he jusrt robbed me and did nothing, all the uscis has done now is sent me a letter and sid that their investigating my case and if i don't hear from them in 6 ,monthes feel free to contact them, ,

what about my k1 visa will it get held up too becpuse of the investigation on my marriage visa, if so why did the ins tell me to do the k1 visa?

i hope some one can help or tell me where to go for answewrs thanks

billy

trying not to cry

K1 visa? Marriage visa? None of this makes sense. If you are married you are not eligible to apply for a K1 visa. That is for fiance(e)s only. What exactly did you apply for and when?

i'm sorry it was a i29 f i guess thats k3, and also did marriage visa in feb 2006

i was married on thanks giving 2005
