Africa: Sub-Saharan	Humilating An Alien fiance	Here is something else. http://www.uscis.gov...eets/affaqa.htm 3. How have immigrants' sponsors' responsibilities changed under the new law? Affidavits of support (Form I-864) filed on or after December 19, 1997, are legally enforceable. Sponsors who fail to support the immigrants they sponsor can be sued by any Federal, State, or local agency or private entity that provides means-tested benefits, as well as by the immigrants they sponsored. Most sponsors must now demonstrate income of at least 125 percent of the Federal poverty level. You use the form I-134 for the K-1 filing and form I-864 with the AOS filing. Since they have not married yet this doesn't this post doesn't apply to them. However, it is interesting to note that the immigrant can sue though. I never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing this out.	Jamaica to CT	Female	0	2006-08-07 13:53:00

Africa: Sub-Saharan	Traveling with your Fiance	Thank you both!! I'm really excited and don't worry, I'll be sure to keep ya'll abreast of everything. YAY!!! K&L was there a special circumstance that caused the last minute change to Gambia's Consulate?	PurpleSky	Female	Gambia	2010-04-21 19:02:00
Africa: Sub-Saharan	Traveling with your Fiance	Those two points that have been higlighted above will probably cause you'll some concern at the embassy. If I were you I would read up on the interviews that have been conducted at the Nigeria and Gambia embass. Then I would suggest that you'll make sure you'll are prepare for all questions that the OP will be asking. READ..... READ.... the Africia/Sahara forum very carefully. Good luck and Congratulations Thank you for replying! Hmmm have I got it wrong? I was under the impression based on the research that I've done (both on VJ and other resources) that he would be interviewing in Dakar Senegal because he lives in The Gambia (although he is Nigerian). Have I been looking at this incorrectly? If I have, that's a close call because I have to make sure I have put the correct information on the I-129F. Also, do you think it will still cause concern given that I can provide proof that I have spoken to his father many times, even by webcam? I just have not had the opportunity to meet him in person. I realize that I have to prove that future hubby and I have a bona fide relationship. I didn't realize that meant proving family ties as well since he is not in contact with his family so much himself. I considered my cousin and his brother's marriage as a potential stumbling block because they could think that this is something that has been arranged. But I don't want to leave out that they are married either because once found out, I am sure they would think that I was being dishonest. So I would rather include a brief statement of how we met and front load everything I can think of to show that this is real. I even have a statement from the Reverend who is doing our premarital counseling. Just to put ya'll a little more at ease, my cousin in law (future hubby's brother) has been here long enough to file for his brother ( and other siblings--2 other brothers and 4 sisters) himself if he wanted him (FH) in the US. He (CIL) wouldn't need me to marry him (FH)in order for him (FH) to be allowed entrance here. I am reading this forum very thoroughly, but there doesn't seem to be so much about those that are in The Gambia but there is good information nonetheless. Thanks again!!

Africa: Sub-Saharan	Traveling with your Fiance	Hi everyone!! I'm just about to get this whole process started. I don't think my situation is so unique (although it sure does feel like it). I have a quick question...did any of you fly here with your fiance after the visa was granted (Or do you plan to, once it's granted)? Why or why not? I know this is thinking a little far ahead but I am trying to get as many things thought through as possible, considering it may not be such an easy process (future hubby is Nigerian but has been living in The Gambia for the past 3.5 years). I have been mulling around in my head whether it would be better from him to leave from Nigeria to come here (this way he could be with his family just before he leaves) especially since he will be traveling back and forth to Nigeria getting his birth certificate, passport change (has a different last name), criminal record, etc for his interview in Dakar (since he now lives in The Gambia). Meeting him in Nigeria to fly back with him would also give me the opportunity to meet his dad and sisters (his oldest brother has been married to my cousin for the past 8 years) and also allow me to hold his hand (he's a bit fearful of flying such a long way...ssshhhh don't tell him I told you ) on the plane. Plus, going to Nigeria is so much cheaper than The Gambia. Any and all thoughts welcome.	PurpleSky	Female	Gambia	2010-04-20 13:38:00
Africa: Sub-Saharan	Leaving for Gambia	Can I ask you who did you purchase your plane tickets through? Where are the layovers and how much in advance did you purchase the tickets? What are the average cost of the tickets you have purchased? Sorry for all the questions but I need to start planning for our trip to The Gambia next year. We went around this time last year but I was coming from the US and he paid for the tickets while in England. There are a number of available flights out of London regularly. It is easier to get to The Gambia from London then from here ....it seems. We are adjusting his status now and so we will be leaving from the US this time around. No problem! I sent you a PM with the info.	PurpleSky	Female	Gambia	2010-04-27 15:42:00
Africa: Sub-Saharan	Leaving for Gambia	Enjoy and have a wonderful trip. Take lots of pictures and bring some good music back. B/W if you had more time I would suggest that you find a good tailor, get your measurments done, so you can have some A-line summer dresses done in some of that beautiful material. Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it! You know, I've been thinking about that fabric for months now. LOL I'm planning on having an Africa Meets America wedding and wanted to have my wedding dress made from African fabric in an "American" style. So it's funny that you mention dresses. Gambia is calling.... I hope you have a nice trip. I am missing the The Gambia right now. But I do not miss the hotness of Farafenni! Thanks a bunch! I'm not looking forward to the heat at all! LOL But I'm sure the company will make it somewhat bearable.	PurpleSky	Female	Gambia	2010-04-27 10:19:00
