Thank YOU for asking this question..... I am so tried of hearing every new member come on-board asking this question as if they can do anything about it. SO sue the government, everyone acts as if they just woke up yesterday,and heard that LIFE isn't fair.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsneed help in my story

We get aletter after senator man make inquiry and it says that

the Egyption fiancée when he apper in interview don't show real relationship

!!!!!!


Didn't I just stated that, it seems that in most of these cases there is a dis-connect between the petition and the beneficiary. It's like there are no emotions involved at all, the USC somehow goes completely silent when these cases get denied.

I think another reason everyone is confused is because he is writing these posts and portraying himself at the USC. Please just speak from your own point of view and then maybe everyone can understand you. As you well know, a 25 year age difference is a huge red flag in Egypt. Also, the fact that your family is not totally ok with the marriage is another red flag that could have caused your denial. Now that you are married you need to file a CR1. It would be a good idea if she added you to her taxes and to be able to show combining of assets such as bank accounts too so that they realize you are serious. Good luck but I think you will have a difficult road ahead of you. You will no doubt be put into an extended AP if your CR1 is approved. AP can be anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more. Has she thought about moving to Egypt with you for the time being?



Okay so this answers my question, the person writing is not the USC. Now, why is it that the USC are not asking questions on their own cases, is it that they have given up, or these cases were not genuine in the beginning.

If seems like after they looked at the wifes bank statement, they decided to denied the visa. This decision was not just done on a wim by the embassy, they asked for co-sponsor information, then they asked for the wifes bank statement. It was the wifes bank statements they wanted, not the co-sponsor correct.

if they guy is Cuban, he does not need any visa. He is entitled to automatic residency, automatic housing, automatic food stamps, automatic healthcare, automatic welfare and it is all free.

Cubans do not need visas. They can come here anytime. Free, but only Cubans.



This statement is totally wrong. Everyone needs some type of permission to enter the US. Now if you are saying that if a Cuban some how is able to enter the US, they have a legal right to stay if their entry is not authorized than yes there are laws on the books regarding this. But first no Cuban will be given permission to leave the island without the proper authorization.

In 3 days he has a cell phone to be able to sextext someone back in Cuba. And the odds of that person back in Cuba having a cell phone is very slim, they just approved cell phones for the general population a couple of years back.


There are many missing pieces and I am not really interested in them, but the post just felt like a celebration for what. Since he is Cuban it is a celebration, the wet feet law, if his feet touches US soil he has a free path into the US immigration system.

Please don't tell me they might not have known about this every Cuban from the age of 1 to 100 knows about this law.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI opened my eyes!!!

I understand that the K-1 visa is not for a 90 day trial period

but there are times it will be used like that. For some of us it was next to impossible to have someone get a visa to come here and see what life is like so we are left with two options.

At least it was for me. 1.Visit in fiance's home country. And/Or 2. Go together to some vacation place. Two, three weeks of face time? These are not always ideal or enough. Big money to continue this for a long time.

I know that emails and Skype can be a big help but there are still many failures. Therefor I will not judge someone who opts out. If not then - when?

I still believe some of this internet dating is a crapshoot. Not the normal 1 or 2 years of frequent meeting and dating that happens in your home country.

Still, I was lucky and we won. Three very happy years for us!




This is so wrong, if you are willing to invest money in a long distance relationship from the start, then why start it. It's not like you didn't know the boy/girl didn't live around the corner. This is no different than dating someone on two different sides of the US, you would still have to invest money and time if you wanted the relationship to grow.

Nah, besides he's Cuban so once his feet touch US soil he is in for good. He will just claim asylum and stay anyway. Probably what he wanted



I believe this is what they all wanted. SAD, but the system was used not the individuals. To post was a cleanings of the soul.

Good luck to you both going forward.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVISA DENIED...NEW LIGHT
As far as the denial for the drug part he will have to show a rehab program. This might mean he will need to show drug testing done in interval priods of time.

In egard to the relationship, that denial was probably based on how he answered any questions that were asked of him.

You said that you have traveled down 8 times, I am quite sure the questions were asked what did you'll do durning those visits? Such as activities, where did you'll stay, who paid for the activities, who iniative the visits, what did you'll do with family, how often did your boys come down with you.

They probably asked alot of questions regarding your boys and his interaction with them.

Pictures were the least of their concerns.

There was something you said in an earlier post, why should marrying him now show commitment. If you go back thru with the K1, that will make the CO stand on their intial assessment. What's the diffrence between marrying now, and marrying 90 days after arrival in the US.

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..."

I haven't bought one yet but I will let you know how it works. He seems to like it and calls his family in Senegal with no problem.

And, really, you expect kids to be mature and understanding? They are selfish little human that think the moon and sun revolve around them. Love and protection are taken for granted and expected, not cherished in any way.


PeterPan, I was not raised to belive that the world resolve all around me, nor have I raised my son this way. I don't know maybe it's a culture thing but all children are raised the way you have describe.

Peterpan, I am probably better at english language than you are, putting that aside again when you were younger and this is from your perspective how could the aspect of how your mother look over shadow the love and protection that she was giving to you make you and your sister feel this type of shame.

There is a time for everything in life, and I think we should stick to them, they are there for a reason.



Wow, you don't see beauty in your Mom at 50. Maybe if life wasn't hard on her she would still have attained her beauty. Fifty is a very young age for a woman not to be able to have attained some of their natural beauty.

Again, I am telling you from my own experience.

I live in the real world, where older woman are having their child at a older age because of their careers. None that I know of have spoken about these issues that you are stating. I have taught young child in programs, I have seen grandparents, and mature parents involved in their children lives and these are not issues that they are dealing with. Then on the other hand I have seen the scatterbrain young parent who can't handle the responsibility of raising their young children and trying to make a career work.

Then if you want to use the arguments that mothers should not work and be at home raising their children, there is no difference.

What experience do you have, have you raised a child from birth?

Because the rights of the child should be put above the rights of the mother.



Your argument doesn't lead to a valid reasoning, so poor people shouldn't have children? Single mothers shouldn't have children, and parents shouldn't divorce if I use your argument. Does any of this make sense?

Are you really saying a woamn in her mature age can't be pretty. Please, Please don't mature, it will scare the he?? out of you. BTW, a mature woman can be prettier and sextier than any 20 year old child.
