If your relationship doesn't make you happy, then leave. Don't make your decision because you want to keep your greencard or want a better chance of keeping it. That's fraud.

I think the hospitals should do more to deport illegal aliens that show up for care.

I was not rude and never said anything about living together before married.
I said you need to be married.
And live together.
Perhaps you try and read again?
Thanks!

Also, completely unrelated, if I didn't understand a religion, how would I know that was religion related?
Since you're throwing your almighty knowledge around and all.

you said "So she has returned home immediately !!! and can not marry another man to obtain her stay by K1 Visa"....
my questions....why would she want to marry another man if she loves this man so much? and why would she want to stay? and was she just looking for a way to the US? sure sounds iy by the way you phrased it
I don't understand this part of your post. Of course she cannot marry someone else,the visa was for her to marry him, not some other random person.

People like you are the reason why my husband, who is from Jordan, had such a difficult time getting his visa. We did things the legal way and suffered a long AP because of dumbazzes like you who lie and cheat the system...disgusting.
I hope you are deported and banned for life....

Great - never attended university.
You've committed immigration fraud.
Next student from your country is going to have a tougher time studying in Rhe US due to visa cases like yours.
If your spouse is a USC, then you can apply to adjust. Whether you get a green card will depend in whether you committed visa fraud to enter the US.
If your spouse is not a USC, then you have no basis to adjust.

If the OP's fiance was doing computer programming in Egypt then maybe a shift into a comparable job would be possible after a lot of persistence and interviews, but as she said, he sells computers and cell phones. He's not a programmer or database administrator, he just has a degree in computer science. Each IT/Tech job opening gets hundreds of applications these days and experience reigns supreme, as does a degree from a US university. European or Scandinavian universities are on par in terms of perceived quality of education but a degree from a developing country has a lot less weight here. Sorry but it's the truth. Honestly a sales job really isn't that bad except around the holidays. It's a good place to start and work your way up. And if your spouse has a job with benefits then you're golden.
Anyway I am not trying to diminish anyone's accomplishments. I just think it's important to be realistic because too many people immigrate here with pie in the sky dreams and become depressed when they realize their education and job experience isn't worth as much as they had hoped and thus they need to lower their mental standards to more blue collar or service industry jobs just to contribute to their household [not that there is any shame in working in those industries - nothing wrong with an honest day's work]. This is especially true for men who are from cultures where they are the breadwinners and even more so if they were middle or upper class in their home countries. It's a very difficult adjustment, but not an insurmountable one if you're persistent and patient.
I'm from Brooklyn and lived there most of my life. The "build yourself up from nothing" narrative is as familiar to me [and my community] as the sights, smells and streets in my neighborhood.

I believe it depends on where you live, what skills do you have, what experience, education and what you are willing to do. And how well you speak and understand English
There are jobs in America.
Our unemployment rate is still over 7%
The problem is finding a job with benefits and make enough to support your family

You missunderstand what can be expedited. Even if you had the best reason in the world for expedite, the waiting for a priority date (currently about 2.5 years for spouse of a greencard holder) CANNOT be expedited. What can be expedited is the actual processing- ie for a US citizen it usually takes 9-12 months to get a spouse here- that is the actual processing of the case. That part can be expedited with good reason, such as terminal illness or impending deployment with the US military.
Again, I understand wanting to be with your wife and child, but remember it';s not only your business on the line- by leaving the USA for an extended period of time, you also risk loosing your greencard.

Absolutely family comes first, and that is your choice to make. Keep in mind that a greencard holder is supposed to spend more time inside the USA than outside. If you spend longer than a year outside the USA, your greencard will be taken away unless you have a re-entry permit, which allows you to be out for up to two years with good reason; you do need to apply for it before you leave, and of course without your business, you may not have the financial means to sponsor your wife and child into the USA.
In short: Once they work on your case, an expedite can make them work faster.
They are not working on your case, they are waiting for your number to come up.
A greencard holder's waiting time CANNOT be expedited.

You might be a victim of the pipe burst at CSC. A lot of files were flooded and damaged back in fall of 2012. I saw a lot of posts here on VJ about it. Maybe your file was damaged and now they are asking for the exact same thing you initially submitted?

USCIS has not updated its info on I-129f's since January. Igor's list is not perfect, but it will give you an idea where you are at in the scheme of things. Just remember, VJ is only a sampling of all the visas applied for. Most people ( applicants) don't know this site exists.

Moved to Service center forums as this is a service center topic.
And all the people who were approved that do not use VJ??? and the people who did not update their timelines?

I talked to my husband about your post. He can totally see where your husband is coming from. In Morocco, he would say that you have freedom. You can catch a bus or walk to any place you want to go, you can go to a cafe and spend 5 dirhams for a coffee, you can get to the cafe by walking and seeing/talking to people along the way because people are all outdoors. You have time to do these things, as there is no pressure.
However, once you come here to the supposed land of freedom you find you are working very hard at some job for very little money. There is no money to go to a cafe to drink your coffee, because you would be spending an hour's pay. People aren't outside to have a chat with you. You can't get time off from work or you will be fired. You certainly can't save money to fly to visit Morocco for quite a long time, nor will you have the time off to do so to visit your family. There are many things. Suddenly your world becomes very small and confined. Naturally you would become depressed.
On the positive side, he is happy to find that nepotism is not acceptable here, as it is in Morocco.
He is also getting used to the food and trying new things. Now he is liking Cajun rice and Prego sauce with pasta. He even sort of liked my Thai Coconut Ginger Soup!
Generally he handles everything with a sense of humor, which is good, because anytime I feel he is depressed, I get depressed. When he gets depressed, I just make sure to let him know I am listening to him.
One thing I would suggest is that he try to find another job that is during the daytime. Working nights is very hard on your body. My husband worked night shift before and it was horrible and they were slave-drivers. He started looking for some field where they would train him and after applying for many jobs online, he was called to be trained in the die-making field. It is hard work, but he has the chance to move up and eventually make a very good income. I think your husband needs to see some hope and light at the end of the tunnel.
Anyway, thinking of you and hope things will turn around!

I agree totally with what you said about offending other spouses with crappy english. AP has nothing to do with that, and for all we know the AP is on the OP not her spouse. We could go further will this crappy english comment about the OP , seems hers could use some revisiting . Sorry but I'm not sympathetic at all at with her plight, her journey has been fairly speedy compared to a lot of us. No one couple deserves anything more than the rest of us. Every case is different and every couple has the right to be together. Next she'll be complaining because she's in a pickle for overstaying her visa, I guess that will be the US governments fault also? The OP made decisions to go and wait it out with her spouse, that was her decision and we all have been aware of the difficulty of the process and the chance that AP could happen. Don't think any of us are above the rest when it comes to who they decide will need additional processing. Storming into the consulate with the I'm a U.S citizen attitude won't get you very far either, and what was so offensive about being mistaken for a Moroccan citizen? Aren't you married to one???!!!
I'm sure this post is going to cause some waves, but I'm sorry I've read quite enough negativity from you ...it's time you learned to suck it up like the rest of us and quit your whining and bashing of others whom you seem to think you are above.

I am very sorry for you wait and impatience with the consulate but to insult other spouses who don't have what you feel are "perfect english skills" has nothing to do with you being in AP. Just be patient and be thankful that it was not sent back to the USA with the recommendation to refuse the visa. It will happen for you.....nothing is fast with the government! Soon all of this will be a bad memory hang in there!

get a different guy at the DMV, as that one seems to be a tardo.

Do not send anything unless they send an RFE asking for more.
Save anything new and bring it to the interview.

Im clearly on this site way too much, but its nice to be in the company of people who are also in your shoes. My friends who have their loved ones here with them dont get what we go through.
With that being said, there are way too many people asking questions regarding if they will lose their status after they marry and want to divorce, and when or if they have to return if the marriage doesnt work, etc
O_O
I understand that nothing is promised, but to go through this process only to immediately seek alternatives for a way out, I will never understand. Why go through this process if you arent expecting to be with your petitioner for life. People who are even in the states are asking questions in regards to protecting their status if the relationship fails, wanting to make note it hasnt yet failed.
Word of advice, if you arent planning to be in these relationships for life, then find another way to get here. Its people like that who are making this process so painful, scrutinized every damn step of the way, trying to weed out fraud, while holding up those of us who want to move on with their life with their loved ones.
smh

Engage Marry or end relationship?
I vote for ending the relationship at the moment.
Give it about a 2 to 3 year break.
Then, if he wants you in the USA, he'll show you a portfolio that will support :
1. the prior years income amounts and
2. current year income and
3. a ton of assets
as this stuff is important for immigrating into the USA.
It smells to me, like he was successful once, and has dropped out of that realm to pursue some other interest. IMO, you need to let him finish his pursuit, get it out of his system. If it's indeed, true love, then taking a break whilst he's remaking himself is a grand thing, and it's actually quite empowering (to him) for you to 'allow' him the time to do this.
That's my 2 cents, aye? With it, and half a roll of toilet paper, we can clean the world, together.

It was the first time he had left the US since getting his green card. The immigration guy at the port was quite chatty... noted that he had come on a K1 visa. Said, "oh, you got married then!" We smiled and said yes. He looked at the date and saw he'd been in the US for 1.5 years, saw we were still together since we had come back from a cruise, and thought it was appropriate to say with mock surprise, "And they said you wouldn't last."
Man, do we K1's have a reputation!

Oh, I am Tolerant of The God. She lets me breathe the air, and I don't mess with Her.
We've had a great relationship, so far.
back on point? CSC has a plumbing issue with how and where the effluent goes. Seems it was caused by the lowest bidder, ages past, and is going to get fixed by a new lowest bidder.

Unless there is something unusual about your case (USCIS or consular staff made an error in law, your case has been sent to the wrong location, etc.) then writing to a congressional representative essentially does nothing, but it makes people feel better and so acts as a positive placebo.
If your case is typical and is just pending due to normal processing times (or AP) then there is absolutely nothing they can do for you, other than to tell you your case is pending (which you should already know).

Well according to your timeline you were married in June 2011. Youre saying your wife is the USC.
Do you know why she is all of a sudden hell bent on getting a new marriage certificate?
There really is no need for one.
If she wants to start using your last name, she can just start using it.
All she has to do is take the marriage certificate down to SS and get a new card with your last name printed on it. It doesnt matter that its now 2013 and the certificate was from 2011. There is no time frame of when you must change your name after a marriage. (I actually waited 5 years before changing my name in a previous marriage and it was a non issue) However once you change it- you cant go back with out a court order or divorce.
Once you have a new SS card, you can go down to the DMV with the SS card and marriage certificate and get a new DL. Now you have 2 forms of ID and should be able to change banking info, insurance info, membership info, passports etc.

no, condescending is harping on and on about visits you think should have happened prior to interviewing when the OP has gone into detail in the past about her life circumstances that prohibited her from having more time to spend with her husband in morocco. actually, it's more than condescending, it's really pretty shitty. there's nothing she can do to change that now. there's not even any way to assert that that is what is even responsible for their denial in the first place. and it's irresponsible as all get out, throwing out stuff like "You really should have had at least 2 extended visits before even attempting to file, especially through Casa." oh, really? you don't know that, i don't know that, no one knows that. member experiences in casablanca, and successful beneficiaries receiving visas in casablanca run the whole gamut. i would certainly hope no one would tell people that meeting once and getting married that same time is going to be a sure approval, but no one is in any position here to tell anyone that those circumstances of course mean a denial is inevitable either. stop pigeon-holing. there are all kinds of issues that can come up in interviews that need resolution before visas can be issued that have nothing to do with time actually spent together. the OP's case may, or may not be one of them. maybe a visit soon will help. maybe it won't. the consulate might be overly hung up on the OP's husband's friend's visa issues and how it relates to the OP and her husband. heading to morocco may or may not resolve that.
