ATPEACE

Who plus 2ed this rant? Hell your rant is WRONG. As the TPS's were given to ILLEGAL HATIANS already here. Look it up, it was published in the NY Times and many other news organizations.

Last time I checked illegals DONT pay taxes. WRONG

Plenty of those whom you are referring to as illegals have and does pay income taxes. Everytime you purchase something out of a store that is taxable you pay taxes.

How did the wife come from Nigeria un-documented. Visa were always required for entry into the Us via airplane/ship. Did she cross over from the Canada border. Was she a stow-away on an airplane or ship. Something doesn't sound logical to me.

These are exactly the type of questions that my fiancee and I sit up at night and ponder, asking each other these things over and over. Every time she comes here she buys lots of stuff for herself and her family to take back, because small electronics, clothing, etc. here are much cheaper than in Brazil even when you get hit with extra fees on them when re-entering Brazil. And that is not counting the times her family has came here and visited us and spent LOTS of money, plus all of the money she has spent on things for our house here. All of these things stimulate the economy and are done legally. Yet, my fiancee gets interrogated and harassed by immigration while here on a valid B2 visa. While here in MD, there are literally thousands of illegals driving, using fake SS cards, working, doing whatever, and no one bothers them at all. It is a very sad state of affairs.

Anyways, we are moving forward. We will be married within the next 3 days and will be seeing a lawyer asap for consultation. We are literally broken hearted that she can only stay a month and that the separation is so long for CR-1, but sounds like we do not have any alternatives.

Those same ppl that you are calling illegal may have come into the US using a B2 visitor, but have never left to go home. Why don't we just call them guest who have just over stayed their welcome. Note; someone who has been given a visitor visa but have choosen to overstay their visa, is just as quilty as those who cross into the US without a visa. BTW, the Over staye quest (illegals) spend money as well.

To those who are passing judgement on this young man please remember:

Unless You have Walked In His Shoes, Don't Pass Judgement On Him. I am sure the whole content of his story has not been written for our eyes.

BTW,if you have to ask this question, I would say you both haven't completely read the Guide, see the Guide forum tab above.

LOVE IS PRICELESS

New member with 2 posts, I would look at the facts and not opinions. No one knows what the POE typed into the computer regarding her secondary questioning. I still say the POE officer did his job well, he was trained to see violations of the B2 visa and he did, now what did he record none of us will never know.

So PO, its your life, you take the risk as you see it. I don't see what is the rush, you wasn't planning on getting married until 2011, why are you rushing it for now. If it's real LOVE it will survive a small separation. Didn't you say your gf has a whole active life in Brazil, so is she ready to put everything on hold until she get her gc to go back to Brazil that could take anywhere from 5 to 8 months.

B/W I am not a new poster, I have been on this site since 2007 and have done the CR1. My husband and I were separated for the 9 months that it took us to do the CR1 and our love didn't die, it only got stronger.

I am hearing that can take 8 months or

longer. That is the only reason we were thinking of AOS. We have not been apart more than 3 months since we met over 2 years ago.

I can go visit her in Brazil but I can only stay a couple weeks at a time because of work. Seems like immigration do not care about things like that, but it was a nice thought to not have to be apart so long.

I am assuming that when they mark that date on the I-94 form that means staying longer is an overstay. I read here in a couple of posts that an overstay would be forgiven if we were married and filed AOS before she overstayed, but now seems like that is not true. This is very confusing.

Base on your post above it seems as if the officer at POE was correct, she was trying to live in the USA on a visitor visa. This is why I wouldn't suggest that you'll try to AOS from a visitor visa you'll can't keep your story straight. .Based on your posted facts"

So start the DCF and hope for the best.

This might be a "stupid add on question" but I will ask it anyways. Since we are filing DCF, can we leave the country for over a month. WE wont be going to the States but it will be like Christmas vacation. The situation here has worsened (they have started to kill people here) and we need to leave ASAP. We are planning on going to Senegal. However, once we are there we can no longer file DCF there, can we? However, I did have residency there before we moved to the Ivory Coast. We're kind of lost in what we should do. Help please!

This may seem like a dumb question, but have you spoken to the embassy and what are they telling you?

how that works?

Go down to your local police station and ask them to file a missing person report for you. That's how that work. If someone is missing for 15 days then you should have done this on day 3. You are all ready 12 days late.

File a missing person report with your local police dept, ASAP.

Start by reading up on Asylum.

I thought this forum is to help people and not to judge, but anyway as you are a Muslim you should know that every " true" Muslims needs to pray 5 times a day,in Ukraine it's impossible and here you can take a 10 min break, plus whatever you say there is not a mosque in every city,in hers they don't have one,and as you know by religion she needs to marry just a Muslim, there is no Muslims in her city as she knows or if they are,there few of them.plus if she would like to have kids there is no Muslim schools there and they will teach them cristianity,is it ok too? Do you imagine your life like this?

Why are you shouting at the poster b/c she spoke the truth to you. You did come here for advise. Filing for asylum is not easy nor straight forward. I didn't see anything in your post that would warrant for asylum either.

Hi everyone.

I will be in the us for 5 months and would like to marry someone i met when i was previously in the states. After arrival, whats the best time to wait until i get married so that it doesn't seem as if im marrying to get a status straight in the us?

As written; Sentence #1 makes Sentence #2 to be implied as you are attempting visa FRAUD.

You cannot work on a visitor visa, plus as indicated above you will have to apply for the student visa in Jamaica. Your plan has many holes in it.

You'll have a co-sponor right? $9.00 a hour with only 2 pay stubbs needs a co-sponor

Hi VJ Family,

My step daughter's case has made it to NVC and we are excited about how things are moving. My wife and I want to know whether a parental consent letter is needed by NVC for the child to migrate to the USA. The mother (my wife) is here and we want to know if the bio father must write a letter for the child to leave the country.

Is his name on the BC, if yes then he will have to give permission. Did you'll list the fathers name on the application, if yes, then there is the chance they will request it.

Possibly a friend could help. What would be their obligations if they agree to co-sponor him? I dont want them to feel obligated and locked down because our real intent is to never become a public charge in the first place. I am so worried that we will get denied over this and it is driving me mad. I have read previous posts saying that the co-spon. must be a blood relative and be on the petitioners side of the family. But from what it sounds like it can be a friend as long as they are a US citizen and are willing to sign for us.

It seems as if you will need a co-sponsor for the K1 visa as well for the AOS. I would suggest that you look at the obligations that a co-sponsor will have in signing the 134 and the 186 financial obligation forms. The legal responsibilities are different for both forms.

Thumbs down.... Something doesn't smell right. Remember you asked what do we think.

Do you know where I would find out the which countries do DCF Filing also, would I have to be living on that Island to do it?

Thanks

You will have to ask at the Consular level (call the embassy). Plus, going to school in a country don't always give you residence right either. In most Caribbean countries it is hard to even get a work permit, since their un-employment numbers are so high for their own people.

Considering your circumstances, you might look into abandoning the process for now, and you two move to the Carribean (assuming an Irish person can do that reasonably easy), then get him a spousal visa via the local embassy (=DCF) in 4 years or whenever you are finished your studies.

Becareful of this because most Carribean countries consulars don't do DCF.

Because you don't know how to quote properly I cannot quote your second post properly in order to link it to the post in question (which when you've quoted someone else is beneficial)... so I will simply "cut & paste" the relevant sections (omitting off topic comments). For those interested, this is the link to this persons post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/286588-no-pictures-or-evidence-what-to-do/page__view__findpost__p__4345744

Your first

You simply stated the USC could not obtain a passport. I did not imply this was incorrect, I asked what bearing it had to the OP. You made a sweeping statement about a passport not being available to him. Great. Awesome. What bearing did that comment have on the OP? The OP (for the purposes of this argument I am referring to the friend of the OP when stating OP as she is a proxy for her) asked whether a K1 was valid. A passport is not required by the USC in order to get a K1 visa. The OP and their fiance need to have met in person, yes, but the USC does not NEED a passport.

This, your second post more clearly explains your point in referencing the passport but is still missing several pieces of data.

As I previously stated I did not say directly nor imply that your information regarding arrears and passports was wrong. I neglected to boost your self-esteem by stating you were correct about the US passport, I'm sorry you feel slighted.

However, you are assuming facts not in evidence. 1. The OP stated her friend "lives" in Jamaica. While you can assume this means she's a Jamaican citizen you don't need to be a citizen to live there 2. You assuming if she IS a Jamaican citizen that she holds no other citizenships/passports. 3. You're also assuming that the USC holds no other passports, and as far as I'm aware (please correct me if I'm wrong.. i'm sure you will) the US cannot stop a foreign citizen from leaving the country... whether the foreigner is a USC as well or not. I myself have two passports and come naturalisation (if I go there) I will have three.

I'm not sure why you state first "she has less than a 99% chance of getting a visa" and then "no visitor visa than (sic) the young lady cannot visit the US". Those are contradictory statements. I will assume (bad of me but I will) that you meant to write she has a less than 1% chance of getting a visa, or a 99% chance of NOT getting a visa.. either or. You do not know the OP's personal situation. She could own oodles of property, be related to the person issuing the visa and voila, no issues. He could have multiple passports... again you're getting in a huff over nothing.

---

OP. Long and short of it is this. NEED to have met in the last 2 years. Likelihood of getting a waiver for this condition is pretty low. USC with child support arrears cannot get a passport. I have read that occasionally there are some cases where the it's possible to overcome the passport ban.. such as: contract in place, lien on property owned by debtor, significant portion of outstanding amount paid.. etc etc.. but the lovely person above will tell you if that's still the case or old info. You stated getting a visa from Jamaica to US is hard... I don't know anything about that but can only wish your friend well. Sorry I can't be more positive.

Stupidity bequest anger......

What bearing does this have on the OP? The OP stated her friend is in Jamaica dating some guy. You can deduce that if her friend is in Jamaica one of them has to be in the USA, and therefore that would be the guy who has the child support issues. The USC doesn't NEED a passport so the child support/passport issue is a moot point.

If no passport is needed then please explain how the USC will meet the girl in Jamaica. You need to verify your facts before you starting questing others. I have watched you ###### at other VJ posters on this board, but please be clear on this, I am not one of them. The USC cannot get a valid passport if he is in arrears with child support. Google this fact if you choose to validate my statement. The young lady in Jamaica has less than a 99% chance in getting a visitor visa, since she isn't from Canada, the UK or the outback of Aussie. NO PASSPORT THEN THE USC Cannot visit Jamaica, no visitor visa than the young lady cannot visit the US.

They have to have met in person in the last 2 years in order to qualify for a K1 visa (or any visa really because you need to be married for a spousal visa and they don't accept proxy weddings).

If, as you stated, the guy cannot get a passport then the girl needs to visit him. Bear in mind that he needs to sign that he can support her at 125% of the poverty level. You mentioned child support so he has at least 1 child making his household size (including your friend) at least 3. He needs to make at least $22,887. If he has more than 1 child that amount increases by $4,675 per additional person/child.

As a side note - while it's great he's sending HER money, his children and his support of them should be his first priority. If he can so easily ignore his children, his blood, then he will probably think no better of doing the same to her. Of course if he's paying it off and it just got too hard when he lost his job etc etc then there's extenuating circumstances BUT they reduce the amount required based on his income.. which implies he HAD the income, he just doesn't care about his children. Of course I know nothing of your friend or her guy but she needs to be careful. There are more stories than you realise of immigrants being abused, or restricted money wise, or whatever else.. your friend should make sure she REALLY knows this guy before making this move.

He may not qualify for what? Filing for her you mean?

The child support issue effects his right in having a passport. He needs a passport to travel, so since he is behind in CSP, his passport is deemed void. There is NO waiver that he can qualify to over-come this.
