Ill admit to not reading everyones post here, if my words following are a repeat of someones elses, im sorry. This is my opinion on your situation.
A person should not have to change who they are for someone else.
When someone falls in love, they do so for a reason, they like that person and everything about them, then develop deep feelings for them. They dont find someone then attempt to mold them into something / someone else. They accept them for what they are, all their faults and differences included.
If your partner is already attempting to change who you are into something you are not, then he is suppressing you. Can you live with yourself being someone youre not ?
You have to like who you are, be in a position to take something into a relationship, find that special someone, and both of you give to the relationship. It is never about one person dicating to another the way it is.
I believe that this is the start to a very destructive relationship because his demands will only get greater.
I truly hope you make the best decision here, but I believe that you knew the answer before you wrote your post. I say this because strangers dont go to strangers looking for advice unless they are already unsure of it themselves. I think that you see it, that you know it, that maybe you were hoping that you were wrong and you came here hoping someone would tell you your crazy. Were not telling you your crazy, were telling you that you are right. You need to listen to that little voice in your head that is telling you to think this through, hard ! and you need to listen to the people here who are telling you to run like the wind and stop this petition.
Good luck, I mean it, this isnt an easy decision.

You are awesome, thank you so much !

No, not only is this a DIY site but those of us who have had lawyers wished we didn't. It doesn't help the process to have a lawyer, nor does it speed up the process. Plus VJ is a great resource to ask questions.
good luck

im sorry but filing for cr-1 doesnt change anything.maybe you should start looking into moving to canada?
even if you do work the expidit out,you STILL need help with the finances

Look through the interview reviews for your consulate. VERY HELPFUL! goodluck with your interview!

Considering the work period was 3 years ago, I am not sure you can get the money. For 9 days work, consulting a lawyer/ filing a lawsuit will likely be more expensive than any money you'd be entitled to. Whether filing a lawsuit/ it becoming apparent that you worked illegally would jeopardise your immigration status would depend how you got your current greencard.

I have no regrets with meeting my husband or doing what we had to so we could be together. If we broke up I would disconnect the internet and never ever chat with anyone on the computer again !
And in all fairness, it wasnt the immigration process, it was the long distance relationship that I would never want to do again. The distance is by far the worst.

I would hope, I know in my situation it was true ... We as a couple, from 2 different countries had to have the conversation of whom would move to whom. And a back up plan in place, with a back up plan to that one. Just because the USA denied, didnt mean that I couldnt sponser him to Canada, and if that was denied, I was on my way to England to try there. I guess were lucky that it didnt have to go that far, but we were both willing to do whatever we had to to be together.
Part of me is quite surprised that someone would make a finacial comment and then claim its over and theyve moved on already. I see no revelance really to this post and I scream troll. Its hard to feel sympathy for this OP with no information, no trials and tribulations being shared before hand.
Everyone who knows anything about immigration knows that it isnt 100% guaranteed and as a couple you have to be prepared for it, you dont have to like it, but you do have to acknowledge the possibility.
On a personal note, I did + a couple of other posters comments as I agree with them but I see no reason to debate this thread further exept to say that maybe this K1 was denied for quite obvious reasons.

Wow. If you give up this easily, it must not have been love after all. Just as well you move on.

That'll show 'em...

Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Immigrants have plenty of rights, but dictating how immigration law is created and policed are not among them; nor should they be. Where is your plea that the rights of Americans aren't infringed by all the illegal aliens living here? (Yes, btw, I'm the British one of this family).

When I was getting my passport renewed, I was claiming lost or stolen, my consualte asked me to go to the police and get a report done. I did, and the officer wouldnt do it, as it wasnt a Canadian Passport. I went back to my consulate, and they said I had to attempt to prove that I had requested it and sent me back to the police to get a letter stating that they wouldnt give it to me. Well, they wouldnt give me the letter either. So I took his business card and had him write his police ID number on it. I sent a letter to my consualte showing the phone numbers I called, the dates and time I talked to anyone, the fact that the officer wouldnt give me a letter and I submitted his business card.
Sometimes you just cant get the things you need from others, but at least try, be thorough in your explanation letter, and ask you HR person for her card and tell her youre submitting it to Homeland Security because she wont give you a employment letter.
Also for my AOS, we didnt send in a employment letter, it was a contract dispute between 2 companies and it was complicated as to whom my husband really worked for. We sent in a explanation letter instead and 6 weeks worth of paystubs. We never got an RFE for it.
I hope this helps in giving you some ideas on how to get around the letter that you cant get.

Bringing your fiancee shows a commitment between the two of you. While it may not help, it certainly doesn't hurt. If you look at it from this perspective. If your fiancee isn't there and there is some issue regarding the relationship being bona fide or the AP issue you mentioned, you will wonder if it would have made a difference. If he can at all be there I say go for it. At the very least the two of you get to spend some time together.

I dont usualy get involved in political chit chat, but this is quite interesting. Besides, Charles is waiting for more . . .
As an individual its fine to sit back and curse others for their interference in your life, ie: USCIS vs. Russia Baby
However, USCIS didnt ask/tell you to go find a partner outside of the USA, out of the over 300 million people here, wasnt 1, just 1 good enough for you ? But you did, and now you want to be with them, and USCIS says, okay . . . but here are some hoops for you to jump through and its going to cost a small fortune. Again, your decision to start jumping and paying, no one at any time has ever forced this decision on you. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day, anyone and everyone making the decision to move, needs to know what they are getting into in every aspect.
Now if you really really hate it, the entire process, I would suggest that instead of sitting back and complaining about how the process interferes in your life, get off your butt and start lobbying, this is your right as a USC, so go do something about it.
Or move to Russia and start jumping their hoops. But a post like this, ESPECIALY with your time-line, has very little to complain about. People here might agree with you that the time apart sucks, but I think most people here understand and respect the process. Your post is anything but.
People really do need to remember that immigration is a privilage, not a right.

The IRS is pretty efficient.
