What I really like about delta is that you can track the flight while its in the air if you go to flights and schedules....type in the flight number which is 55 out of legos.....go down to bottom screen and it will show the flight patteren and where the plane is.....chaeck it 20 min later the plane has moved....it will also show if they go off the flight pattern.....i got really freked out because it showed at one point the plan going back .....but....what they were doing was to avoid a storm in the area....had me scared for about 30 min.....

To anyone that has been approved and getting tickets for their husband/wife....Please coming out of Nigeria make sure you get a direct flight to the USA...Had a friend that did not follow this advice and her husband got stuck in morocco for 2 days....then had to fly to JFK then missed his flight there and had to get on next flight.....also had problems with getting information about her husband and where he was or was not......just awful.....I say use delta....direct flight to US...also you are able to make sure he got on the flight also able to track the plane as its in flight.....you might pay a little more but its worth it...it would be eaiser to get to JFK or Atlanta then another country in case of emergency .....just my thinking....my husband is on his way home now from nigeria and i am able to track his every move....I called and they gave me any information i asked....very very helpful and nice...wonderful service....

Dont know if you remember me but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that things did not work out....I know you tried and gave him all the chances you could but you are right for getting yourself and your children out of a bad situation......You sound like you are doing good and being very strong....May jehovah watch over all of you and give you the comfort to hlep you through this dificult time.....I am sure you will find someone that will love you and respect you the way a husbsnd should....All my love.....

dont know why but round trip is always cheeper anyway.....so it really does not matter.....He is on his way to you and that is what counts....Congratulations...I know you are very excited.....walking on cloud 9 im sure.....I remember the feeling.....

Have not been on VJ for a very long time but just wanted to stop in and say Hi! My Husband and I met on the computer back in 2004 traveled to nigeria in 2006, Married him 4 days after landing in Lagos.....went through the visa journey just like everyone here......was a month shy of being 2 years seperated from my husband before he got here in march of 2008....just so information is clear I am 6 years older then he and only made that one visit when we got married and yes after everything was all said and done they approved his visa......Big question how are we doing now??????? you can ask anyone that knows us......yes Some times love stories do come true.....My husband and I are still together and are stronger then ever.....I support him in everything he wants to do and he supports me...we have had our times that would be hard on a couple, example 3 miscarriges.......However he has stood by me helped me, cryed with me and let me hold onto him when i needed it most.....I have to to say he is not only my Husband, my love my friend but he is truely my HERO! I have never in my life felt about a man the way I feel about him....Yes we have misunderstandings and sometimes we have times where we need to take a step back and talk things out.....But thats the key word TALK......We follow the Bibles counsel and talk and reason on things.....there are really no words I can say to explaine how I feel about my Husband...I do know that Jehovah God gave him to me not just as a gift but he truely knew what I needed......I will always be greatful for and treasure the gift i have in my husband......6 years of marriage and its only getting better.....I dont know whats around the corner but as long as we keep doing the will of Jehovah I am sure its only going to get better.......every one take care and hope that your journey brings you all the same happiness as mine has brought me...

Hi everyone.......Hope everyone is doing well on their journeys....I need some reminders.....I have already done this before and my husband is here frome nigeria.....I now have a friend that is just starting on filling out the paper work for her husband.....so I need help remberinging just what forms she needs...I know she is filing for her husbband they are already married so I am guessing she starts with the I 130? and then what is next??

What if the Husband is sick and unable to take care of himself and the two children on his own will they give any consideration to that?

If she entered with a visa at one point but stayed past the visa then she could fix things in the US. However if she is here without ever being inspected she has to leave the country and then fix things. The marriage is legal ( most likely ) and your friend needs to file the I 130 , she will interview and get denied for the illegal presence in the US and then she should be able to submit the waiver. Mexico sees this all the time and are quite effecient at dealing with this.

Hello visa journey family.....I am looking for info for a friend and his wife.....She is here in the states illeagely.......she has been her a number of years they say that they are leagely married.......they have 2 daughters.....she would like to get her papers but they dont want her to have to go back.....is there any way she can do this without haveing to return back to mexico?

My dear friend Mao36

I am so lost for words right now.....I cant even begin to imagine the pain that you are feeling.....but I felt the need to write you and tell you that you are one strong women to be able to forgive in such a large way......I am sure as Jehovah hates a divorcing that he will certinlay be with you and bless you not only for your your forgivness but the strength that it takes to forgive such an act......I only pray that He has learned from the deep overwhelming hurt he has caused to so many people......As for you....Jehovah will be with you and bless all your efforts......You take care of yourself....hope to talk to you soon.......

I would like to take the time to post a little something.......I think no one ever knows for sure if things are going to work out in a long distence relationship such as ours until our husband or wife gets here to the states.......Yes there are plenty of warning signs before it gets that far....However let me say there are also signs to let you know this could be for real......in my case the signs that I looked at was how he treated me when I was there....did I have his attention? did he enjoy being with me? was he embarresed of me? Yes I am a plus size.....well let me tell you this ......The moment I got off the plan really told me a lot and is something I will never forget......Once I got within his reach....He grabbbed me and pulled me close and gave me such a kiss that would have even embarresed me here in the states......He would not let go of me from the airport all the way home......we did get married there and afterward we stayed with his family......while there he washed my clothes and took care of my ever need.....I got seprated from my clothes that I had brought with me so him and his family bought me traditonal clothes......when we went out to walk around he always went with me holding my hand and even holding my dress up so I would not fall.....He kept reminding me I was in Nigeria........there was a couple of times I had decided to talk a walk with his aunt....I was maybe out the door for five min......he came looking for me.....said he could not sleep knowing that I was not there with him.....next time I went out was to go visit a women that had just had a baby and due to rain we got stuck there for over an hour till the rain stopped.....when I arrived back to the house I found him sleeping with pictures of our wedding laying all around him as he slept......I asked him what he was doing......He said he just wanted to feel close to me even though I was not there.......those were the moments that let me know that this was for real.....words can not express how this man has taken care of me since he has been here......we have gone through a lot and he has been right there by my side.....we have lost 3 preg. and now losing a foster child that we had taken in trying to help the grandmother of this little girl.....He has and is right there by my side through it all......I Thank Jehovah every day that I married this man....I also Thank him for not letting me fall into the wrong hands which I could have done so very easily.....Always depending on Jehovah and trusting him 100% is the key....

Dear rafetratorop,

Hi I have been on VJ for while now and wanted to reply to you because I know how you are feeling. Just wanted to share some information with you. I went through the same thing.........After 120 days of being on AP you can put in a request through the NVC office to the security office to find out what the hold up is. Once they put in for the inquiery the check will be complete in a week and then forwarded back to the embassy. This happened to me....I put in a request on Feb. 18th of 2008 and my husband with me on march 13th of 2008 right here in the stats.....You can look back in the older posts on page 90 under the name moon1968 and find my origanl post....I hope this helps you.....

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone.....I have been looking back and remembering the time my Husband and I were on this same visa journey......It was a hard time waiting and wondering what would happen next and the ups and downs of the interview and then A/P another 3 month wait we were separated for 2 years before we where together again......What made everything worth it was when he got here and walked off the plane......Ohhhh that was magic.. That moment was worth everything we had gone through.....I look back on that day and it was better then the wedding day.....He was here and we could start our lives together as Husband and wife......Since he has been here things have been very good......I have no complaints other then sometimes he works a little to much. It always seems we dont have enough time with each other.....Other then that things are great.....We have gone through alot as a couple as far some medical problems however we have come through them a lot stronger and sure of our love.....He has been here since 2008 and we have married since 2006 so now we are comming up on our 5 year wedding anniversary but our 3 year anniversary since he has been here......Things are great.....To all those still waiting to get your so here I want you to remember that when he does get here to soak up the time you meet him at the airport and pick him up.....That is the moment you will always remember.....It goes so fast hang on to it and treasure it.....Looking back at that time it was so wonderful but now seems like it just went by to fast.......anyway better go for now will pop in again later take care everyone........

Hi there,

As long as you can prove that your relationship is real there should be no problem....I am the Female and the one in the US and I am 6 years older then my husband and we had no problem with age.....We were on AP for 6 months but that was due to another issue not age....

Thank you for your replys......I know it more then likely will be impossible for a visitors visa.......I was just grasping at straws I guess.....It is not safe for him to go back at lest not right now...He has friends and family that are there and have told him about what is happening and that they are not in their own homes due to the crime that is growing and getting worse......So yes I am very concerned for his safty.......It is for safty reasons that he is not allowing me to go......Anyway we will see what happens...thanks everyone.....

Im not sure im I am in the right place or not but I am going to try........My Husband is from Nigeria and wants to go back home to see his father however due to the high crime and kidnappings going in his area we are very mauch concerned about his safty.......I am wondering what the possiblites are for his father to get a visitors visa to come and vist him here? And if it is a possiblity where so I start???? Hope someone can help????

Sorry it is has been a very long time since I have posted here on VJ but I do read the boards once in while. Just thought I wouild stop in and say HI to all the oldtimers and new ones. My husband and I have been married since april 2006 and he arrived here in the states in march of 2008. Since he has been here he has been working and taking good care of me.......Sad to say we have miscarraid 3 times. lost all three of our babies......However things are good now....we have been through alot together and our relationship only seems to get stronger every day........words can not express how much I love my husband and how much he loves me......We may be done with the visajourney however we are still on the journey of life togehter and it is a happy one. I cant say it is a happy ending because our love story is still being written......everyday we fill new pages up with many happy memories. And yes even when things are so sad and hard to deal with that is when we are at our best.....We dont turn away from one another we turn to each other for our strength.....We talk to each other listen to each other and respect each other...... Most importent we pray to our God Jehovah together.......When Jehovah is in a marrige and you are guided by his love then your marrige will be an everlasting one.........I hope that everyone here new or old VJ'ers find them selves as happy as we are......I will check back in soon, as my Husband is planning a trip to go back to Nigeria in march to visit his family.......will let you know how that turns out......byeee for now ...

To Idocare,I think I talked with you in the past a long time ago......Anyway I want to say how sorry I am about your relationship.....I know someone here that is going through the very same thing......Although there is no child.......I am so thankful that My relationship has worked out very well....However I have to admit that while I was going through the process that I had questions.....I often talked with myself and would say that I know what im doing is taking a huge risk.....If things did not work out I had nobody to blame but myself......I was willing to take responsiblity for what would happen good or bad.....I had to try and prepare for the worst but hoping for the best......I feel that with anyone taking on the Journey they have to be ready to except the outcome.....Weather it works out or not......One has to do research and get to know all the information they can about that country they are dealing with. Know that the fraud rate is very high and it is always a risk....One MUST be willing to except the concquences of their actions.......We all know that what some do is very wrong and down right awful.....However knowing that before you go into it is excepting that things could go very wrong......I know in my case it could have gone very very wrong.....I am very blessed that I have the man that I do.......So yes some fairy tales do happen.....Its just they are few and far between......We just have to take the time to really think about what we are doing What is invloved, and most importent i thiink is are we ready to except a broken heart if it does not work????......Once again Im so sorry for anyone going through this........

I had my husband take a direct flight from Lagos to US comming in through atlanta......I was told before hand that if he were to go through another country before he comes here you have to get a travel visa which is more money and then for any reason going through another country if they want to they could send him back for any reason....I was taking no chances....

Well everyone our visajourney has come to an end......After a long 4 years from start to finish he now have our 10 year green card on its way. I want to thank everyone on here for all the help and advice i recived during this time.....with this site we were able to do all the paper work and filing with out an attorney......Its now over and my husband and I can breath again .......It is a wonderful feeling......Our lives now can really start with out any thoughts of immigration...My Husband and I are going strong and our relationship it only getting better.....We still feel as if we just got married....I love my husband will all my heart and he loves me......we are so happy.........this has been worth all the effort and time involved.......I hope everyone here finds the same happiness I have........ Every one have a wonderful journey.......You will make it if the love is really right.....

Hello,

If you can i would go with delta because they have a direct flight to the US......With other stops you have to pay for other travel visas just for passing through and at any time that your so goes through a check point with imigration they can send him back to nigeria with out him ever getting here to the states...

Hello everyone.......

I had to change my screen name from moon1968 to moon68. was having computer problems.....Anyway......It has been about a year and half and my husband and I are still going strong......We are more in love today then even the day we married....
