They are going to look at many things. Your young age and being underage (a minor child) with a Man who is 7+ years older than you is a huge red flag in my opinion. He is from Morocco so he will have to return to his home country to interview at the consulate. You will have to prove you have a steady job and can support him because Casablanca frowns on co sponsors for the fiancee visa a lot. It has been done but it is hard.
Here is my advise.....go to college and get your degree find a steady welll paying job and then file for him if he is still around. If he loves you he will wait for you....I know it is hard but yoou got to cover your bases and do it right!

you are a US citizen and can come and go as you please.

I work for child and family services in my state and I can tell you that this information is incorrect. CPS does not get involved in legal issues and custody cases unless there is evidence of abuse. We ensure the safety of the child and monitor that the child is not being neglected nor abused. As long as we have ONE protective parent and the other parent is not in the home we will not intervine unless the child has been harmed. CPS is a civil agency and can not cross court orders. This would be a matter to consult a family attorney or go thorough your states Office of the Attorney General to pursue child support.

I would advise you and any other parent going through issues with child custody and visitation issues.
Keep a diary or journal of everything that has to do with the child's other parent. Make a notation on any contact or attempted contact. What time the other parent got the child for visitation and what time they returned the child. If they miss the scheduled visitation notate it in this journal. If you receive anything by US mail take a picture of what was received and document it in the journal. If you need to send correspondance send it certified with a return receipt where somebody needs to sign for it. Keep accurate and perfect records and this could benefit you in court when you are trying to prove lack of interest in the child or abandonment.
My philosophy is if it is not documented it didn't happen.

Please think of your children in this situation. File for divorce and petition custody as the primary parent. Usually the parent filing first has the upper hand. Also be advised that depending on the state you live in it could be considered a Mother's state as in the court will give primary custody to the mother..especially if the children are under the age of 5. I would suggest that you consult an Attorney who is knowledgeable in family law and find out your best options.
Forget about her green card and concentrate on being the best father you can be to those babies!

The bums they payed to fill out forms, use a staple machine & drink cheap coffee while they laugh that they got another sucker to think they are actual geniuses...he just talking about his lawyer.

1. You can't, it's too late. You CAN withdraw your support of her I-751 at which point she changes it to a waiver filing. She will eventually need to send the divorce decree to file by herself, with proof of bonafide relationship.
2. She has a GC, she doesn't *need* you anymore to stay here. She doesn't "self-sponsor". The I-864 you signed back with the AOS (the first GC) stays in effect.
3. She won't be sent back. She has her GC and only needs to change the joint filing ROC to waiver filing. If she WANTS to go back that's between her, you and the courts regarding custody.
4. Divorce her, file for custody.
Unless you have evidence she used you (for 3 years and 2 kids) then there's nothing you can do. If you have evidence contact ICE (details at the bottom of this page) an they will do what they do. It's highly unlikely she will be deported, or have her GC taken away. If she really IS a scammer she already knows how to keep her GC.
It would be in your best interest, and the children's interest (unless she's a horrific mother who abuses them) to keep her in the country. This means, don't lie to her about being able to stay here. Tell her you want a divorce, tell her to change to a waiver filing, and be reasonable. being irrational and unreasonable will just look bad at any custody hearings. You will look like a poisonous parent.

I am not here to ask advices or anything..
Just want to share that my husband passed away this morning... peacefully... he had brain cancer and we have been fighting for more than a year now... there was a point in our fight that we thought we are winning... but we lost... i am just thankful that he passed away peacefully... in his sleep, and i got the chance to tell him everyday that i love him... and that he is my love, my life, my world, my home and my everything...
Whenever I read people here posting marriage not working out, just using me for greencard, giving up... and a lot of things... i am so sad...
I found the perfect husband... the perfect person... and yet he was taken away from me in such a short time...
I promise I will honor his name... i will honor our love... and I do not think I could love other person as much as I loved him... and still loving him... my love for him will not die until my last breath...

Those are your values and they are good for you but the OP did not ask for this advise and only the OP knows what is best for her. I do not agree with you on the "if you love somebody enough he will change" because this is not true and he will only change when he is good and ready. Ever heard the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"? The OP is asking about lawyers and not marriage counseling. And unless you are a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) you should not be offering her that advise. We need to respect that she has a mind of her own and we are not walking in her shoes. I agree that God can do anything but who are we to determine God's will. Just include her in your prayers and let her do what is right for her.

The DS 3032 should be scanned and emailed to the NVC from the beneficiary's email address.

"be able to petition another filipina"? "go back to the Philippines to see if you can find something (not someone?) more worth your time"? Sir, you sound like its a shopping trip. But to answer your question I think you should ask in the forum that is specific to that region. And btw you are petitioning the uscis, not the woman.

I am going to put my money on the birth certificate You might as well get it ready since you will need it for the next step anyways.

When I got my RFE it gave me 90 days to answer so at least you still have time....best of luck!

It seems real coincidental and very convenient that the first 2 years you were married and STILL in the Philippines you were happy, yet at the beginning of the last 3 years of you marriage ie right when you entered the US & received your greencard your marriage started making you miserable. Smells fishy. As mentioned you could get yourself in trouble if someone decides to look twice at your case due to all your claims and demands. Don't be greedy. Cut and go, wait a few more years then apply for citizenship.

Your seperation is by choice, our men and women who serves in the US military to protect this country that is offering your love one an opportunity to live in is separted from their loves ones not by CHOICE.
We each have decisions to make in our lives, the decision to love someone from afar is not one that is forced on anyone by the US government. If being together is what what you wish for christmas, then the choice is there for you'll to make.
Everything worth having in life has a life cycle, so if this visa is worth having than waiting through the life cycle is what needs to be done. Each and everyone who went through this process to migrate to the US has gone through the wait and being seperated from their love ones to live to talk about.
Have a happy holiday and lets give thanks that we are alive and healthy to share it with our families far and near.
I am responding to this post "Guess they will never understand how it feels like being away from your love one for a long time and be in this waiting game...
Hope they experience it too for them to see and know how hard it is..."

OP, sorry for the bad news you got from CASA. I hope u and your SO will be strong and get through this.
Giving that I do not know how OP's husband answered or his grasp of English...I still really feel this snippet of advice should be noted!!!! CO needs to know do they have a relationship....
IMO Asking how many friends is a simple question not a trick. I am sure it was not a number that was needed. It was conversation to see how much this beneficiary knows.
Name the closest friends AND... tell a little more info like..." My wife has many others through her work that I cant recall their names but are very support to her in her office" Or " Those are the few she considers real friends then there are many just associates. or " My wife has one good friend Mary but she always tell s me I am her best friend"
It is not in MENA men to express themselves or share personal info (especially about their wives)...but
this would be the time to do so.
I explained to my husband that he needs to speak. He is normally a VERY private person and was never accustom to sharing his personal life even with his own respected parents, That was not happening at the interview.
In addition...If it was answered with a yes or no there was going to be a further explanation.
One question was about my daughters favorite subject in school...he did not know which was her FAVORITE, to be fair I dont think she has one... so he answered soccer which he knows she plays (in school and competitive) and then was asked an additional retort question what is her number? He chose a number....I dont know her number this year either. Unfair questions? Maybe. Sue the CO? Not.
You have to know each other. You have to make the best of the long distance relationship. If a couple has daily communication, then I would think the SO does know the estimated distance of the work from home. "I dont know the miles (kilometers) but she makes it in a half our by car right after we skype in the morning."
I copy and paste this from your post ENIGMA11561 and let you know your 2 cents went a long way...good advice to OP if....
both of you have been communicating and beginning to know each others life and have shared many things
it should come through in the interview.
As Pushbark noted write everything down that was asked and what/how he answered and start to work on your next step.
Good Luck

It is possible that the USCIS might slip up and miss the fact that you have 2 petitions going at the same time and maybe even approve the I129f...but it is your responsibility to advise them that you are married and plan to go the I130 route. If by chance you get an interview for the I129f and attend it you will be misrepresenting your situation and there is a lifetime ban for misrepresentation.
With that said, you are of your own mind and best of luck to you!
