I have been dating my boyfreind for 2 years he is from Jordan. We had met when i had lived there (for 2 years and went to school there) we have been apart for 1 year now, i visited him this past summer and we have plenty of pictures from before i moved to the US and when i went on vacation there, i also have pictures of us with freinds in jordan, my mother and his parents, we have only 1 receipt from when we went to the dead sea (i wish we had gotten more, but we were to wrapped up in having fun) I also might have my ticket stubs, OH and my $1800 phone bill from the first month i moved back to the US... I know that is plenty of proof, but i am scared because we are both young i am 18 and he is 23. His brother is a US citizen and his parents have greencards, but i am still scared that they will not accept it, especially because he has applied for immigrant visas twice and was denied, the reason he did this is because my father wasnt letting me petition for him to come here because he said i was too young and he wanted me to finish college first, but i convinced him that school is the most important thing to me and to my boyfreind. So he wanted to be next to me and tried to apply on his own...so i am scared that that will affect our chances of getting the visa and finally being together permanently... please help tell me your opinions!

note: last posting i mispelled my email address.

I would like to add our time frame to this site to help others like us. We filed our petition on July 13, 2008 We were approved August 17. After reaching the Nationl Visa Center it took until April 23rd to complete from there. They were very fast with our case but it took us some time to complete the list for the police records for my husband. My husband had his interview on June 2, 2009. At that time he was not approved they wanted me to return for further questions. I returned to Athen Greece and we had our interview on July 28, 2009. We were approved that day and went back on Friday to pick up our visa. The interview was about ten minutes. We are very happy and he will be coming home on August 13, 2009. This journey is long and can be very stressful, but it is not impossible. To all of you waiting on your loved ones I wish you luck and if there is anything you think i can help you with please don't hesitate to contact me via email. I am preparing the house for my husbands homecoming it feels so good to know he will be with me soon.

Thanks to this page i was able to keep my sanity and feel as though i was not alone in this and there are lots of people out there just like me trying to get their loved ones home.

Hi! I am a US citizen who wishes to submit a K1 petition for my fiance' from Trinidad. We have done the research, filled out the forms, and have everything ready to send off... however... this is where we are scared... my fiance' came over from Trinidad in 2001 as a student. He completed his 4 year degree and secured a job with an employer who was very proactive in petitioning for him to obtain a more permanent status. Unfortunately, he did not have the luck of the draw and his legal status ran out. He is still here in the U.S. however, but we are scared that, if I file this fiance' petition for him, they will deny our request because of his illegal status and send him back. Does this typically happen? I have not seen many cases like this on here. What should we do? Would the immigration people retaliate because he's still here? Should we get married first and file K3? Please help!
Thanks!

My exhusband and I were together 3 years before we married. We divorced and he stayed in this country. Eventually marrying someone else. He came here on a K1 Fiance Visa to marry me. Now 4 years later we see one another and decide we want to be together again. He is in the country illegally now, wants to divorce other woman, to remarry me. Will he have to leave the country if we don't get remarried? Can the other girl help him get immigration papers?

I met my fiancé when he visits here in the phils last year march 2008. he staying 4 days then he back on his place after one month he back again here and stayed for 3 weeks, then we decide to get married here but somebody told that spouse visa it takes longer to process so we cancelled the married stuff and when his back, he applied the fiancé visa and he submit the I-129F after a couple of month he got the notice of action, we thought everything will be okay and were expecting that our petition is not having a problem but we noticed that the USCIS send a letter to my fiancé it says that we need to submit the requirements they need but they are not put the exactly documents, so my fiancé submitted those picture, letter, conversation and other stuff, one thing he forgot to send its a affidavit of support, ITR's and other financial stuff but were expecting that the USCIS tells that we need to follow those documents but when we received again the letter, our case or petition is dismiss due of lack documents.. My fiancé and I so fissed off and sad because of that... we need to start again in first things, were waiting for more than six months for nothing, were crying. Now, we need to apply again. We plan to apply the tourist visa, and I have doubt about it because it seems that I’m not approved by the USCIS.. we don’t know what to do, we have a lot of plan just like re-apply the K1, or getting married over here in apply spouse visa or maybe tourist visa... everybody can help us what will do... thank you for reading my post message. I hope everybody can help us to fix our problem. Please mail me here ........... maryjane4me31@lycos.com
