I still can't believe your case is still pending, doesn't make any sense. If they have a problem why don't they just DENY it???? Must be because there is no problem! PB&JAM - don't give up!!! If the appeal doesn't work I think you should move there. Better to be together and poor! Or could you both move to a Mexican border town and you could commute to S. California? I was thinking if we got denied I could move to the Toronto, Canada area and work in Michigan. It breaks my heart to hear your stories. Wendy thank you for the prayers pb&jam u know thats an idea that might work moving to Mexico on the boarder and commuting there are few Americans i have heard of doing that. and ur still in our prayers i sure hope it dont come to that. sara hmm thats an idea. but we need this waiver to get worked out b/c paul is not allowed in the US now...til we get some solution.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	6+ months waiting Club	I looked more into the process of moving there and to do that I would need to file a K1 myself and start the process all over again. I cant simply move there n marry him, I would get deported and banned (a gal on immigrate2us did this and learned the hard way). I think our best bet is to continue with our K1, if we get denied the waiver we can refile or I can file a K1 and move there. this is going to be a long process. I wont give up tho this is a nightmare come true. I love him so much and I'm not giving up! Edited by PB&JAM, 27 May 2009 - 05:23 AM.	PB&JAM	Female	England	2009-05-27 05:22:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	6+ months waiting Club	QUOTE (Gemmie @ May 26 2009, 03:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm it looks incredibly difficult. I know that there is nothing on there that we would be able to use if we needed to prove extreme hardship, other than simply needing to be with the one you love. Is moving to the UK such a bad thing? I know you have cats to move with you, but that would be so much easier than applying for a waiver and the UK isn't considered to be in poverty or anything. Of course the decision is down to you and Paul, and it's understandable if you choose not to live in another country. It wouldnt be the worst thing. But i do have several reasons i want to stay here. family of course cause i'm very close to the ones who are still alive as many have died including my momma and all my grandparents. All i have left are my aunt, dad, and sisters. They would miss me terribly...and I them. (my dad recently battled prostate cancer, he is ok now thank God! but if it comes back?) Also, I have a degree in business (accounting, US tax law) and thats pretty much useless in the UK. I have hopes of having a career here, i worked very hard, sat through the cpa exams (didnt pass) but i still want to get into that field. I had to put some of that on hold for various reasons but i still want to accomplish that. I hate trains n will have to use them a lot there. i dread the idea of using trains to get around...i managed to when i visit paul but its very hard on me. i have an absolute fear and post traumatic stress disorder from them. (my best friend laid down on train tracks, suicide). It was a while ago but every time a train goes past me, i go back to that time in my life. i imagine her being shredded under the train, it kills me inside. Those are a few reasons. I think fighting to stay here is worth a shot. If its a definite no, we'll see. I do love England.	PB&JAM	Female	England	2009-05-26 06:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	6+ months waiting Club	QUOTE (Gemmie @ May 26 2009, 03:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't even understand why they want to see "extreme hardship" anyway, wouldn't it make more sense for them to want to see evidence that the person with convictions is no longer at risk? Easier to prove, and has logic... yes they want to see that too. that will be easy to prove. but more important is the 'extreme hardship' b/cos they dont want him here. basically they are saying to me, 'if you really want to be with him, go there. If thats SO hard for you, well, prove it.' heartache, stress, pain, that stuff isnt even considered hardship. It doesnt make sense, but that's how it is. here are some examples: http://www.visajourn...h...ost&p=66895 unfortunately, i am in good health and none of my relatives are currently dying.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	6+ months waiting Club	QUOTE (Oana31 @ May 26 2009, 12:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> PB&JAM, I've been thinking about your situation, and because I had an overstay I also studied the waivers (in case I needed one). My conclusion, based on all that it has been said on sites like immigrate2us and visajourney, is that you need a lawyer, a damn good one. Now, the problem is which lawyer would be the best one? I strongly believe that the best lawyers for this are the ones who are, themselves, immigrants. They specialize in immigration, as they already been through that, and they have the advantage that they speak the client's language. As an example, an immigration lawyer that speaks romanian, will always be asked by romanian people to handle their immigrationg situations, first because they can talk romanian to the lawyer, and second because it is an immigration lawyer. So, this is how they know immigration rules and regulations, as they always have clients. I'm praying for ya! thanks u! I have been reading up n i decided to get a lawyer. there are a few highly recommended on immigrate2us that specialize in waivers. i need a good one for sure as extreme hardship will be very hard to prove...thats where i need help. thanks!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2009 CSC Filed -- What is taking so long???	Hello everyone I am new to this site and I am sorry that I waited so long to take part it really is a great site ... Gavin and I met while he was vacationing out here in Southern California from Derry in Northern Ireland... I met the love of my life, my future husband Gavin. I was visiting my cousin in Sunset Beach, CA. We were our way to lunch walking down Pacific Coast Highway when in the distance I saw a very attractive man walking in my direction. He was tall, handsome, and had the most amazing blue eyes that just stole my heart. As we drew closer to each other, our eyes met, we both smiled at one another and in that instant, I was hooked. Little did I know he and my cousin had already met down on the beach because Gavin was vacationing from Ireland. As we approached one another, my cousin and Gavin greeted each other and we (Gavin & I) were introduced. Gavin asked if he could take me out for lunch or a drink sometime and I, standing in a trance attracted to his accent, said “sure that sounds good” and he told me to get his number from my cousin so I did. The next time I was in the area was on the eve of March 17th or early morning of St. Patrick’s Day at my cousin’s apartment. I decided to give Gavin a call and invite him over to hang out with me. He said “sure” and in about an hour he was there. We stayed up all night talking and laughing till around 7:00am and Gavin said reluctantly “I should be going home.” I however, did not want him to leave but respected his wishes and he called himself a cab that took him to a friend’s house, where he was staying, in Huntington Beach, CA. We both agreed that we wanted to see each other again and so we did. We were together every day thereafter and on countless nights. On Friday the 10th of April, Easter weekend, I took Gavin up to Santa Maria, Oceano and Pismo Beach to meet my paternal grandmother, my two aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had an amazing time and all of my family fell in love with him. On our way home, Saturday the 11th, we stopped in Solvang, CA and went shopping and had so much fun exploring the town. Soon thereafter, we knew that we were in love and wanted to be together forever, so Gavin asked me to return home with him to Ireland so I could meet his family. I told him he would need to ask my mother’s permission out of respect for her, since my father was killed in a car accident in 2007, he agreed and she thankfully, said yes. I booked my flight for the same day as Gavin, however, I booked a cheaper flight and figured we could handle being apart for one day. On May 5, 2009, I flew to Ireland and I cried almost the whole time and it pained me to be away from him, I missed him so much and couldn’t wait to be in his arms again. In Ireland, I met his mother, his father, his sister, his niece and nephew and a ton of his friends. We had the most amazing time and on our last day there May 11th 2009, Gavin took me up to Grianan Fort and proposed to me just after I made my three wishes. We told each other that we would wait two years until we were married so that we had plenty of time and we could save for a big wedding with my family and his in California. The next day we were on our way back to California together because I had to return to school and he had to be there for the birth and baptism of his godson, until August, when he was planning to return home to Ireland. On our way however, Gavin encountered some issue with customs in Newark, NY and was refused entry into the U.S. and forced to return to Ireland. I had no idea what was happening, nor did I know why. All I know is the day after we were engaged, my fiancé, the love of my life, the best thing that has ever happened to me, was torn from my arms and we have not been together since. This is the longest we have ever been apart from each other and it has been one of the hardest things I have ever been through in my life. I know that I want him in my life, for the rest of my life, by my side, and I will do anything to make it happen... ***After May 12th*** Three weeks later i got back on a plane and I spent the summer with Gavin in Ireland until i had to return August 11th which was the hardest thing to do again...leave without him... 4 days later my grandmother died and 20 days after that my grandfather died. I have gone through too much without gavin and just want him home as soon as possible.. I wished and prayed before christmas but now it doesn't look like that is happening =( We filed in June with CSC and the I-129f was received June 24, 2009... Apparently it is still under initial review??? WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? WHAT IS GOING ON? When I called the USCIS they said it was received June 24 and is still processing... I called on November 25th which was when it fell outside of the 5- month processing time estimation and they said that the CSC was still processing cases received June 16th so they were behind but I am looking at everything on this site now... wishing I hadn't gotten a lawyer and realizing that something just isnt right? Any Advice? COmments Questions? Edited by Cali_Derry09, 30 November 2009 - 10:23 PM.	Cali_Derry09	Female	Ireland	2009-11-30 22:18:00

Was all that only for International Marriage Brokers? What is a marriage broker anyhow? i guess i can look it up. IMB as defined by USCIS is International Marriage Broker that you pay a certain fee for and the purpose of their website/organization is to match people or introduce pple to each other for marriage. Main point is that YOU PAY A FEE. For more detailed information, visit the IMBRA Related Topics sub-forum on this website Ok, i understand now, thanks!	PB&JAM	Female	England	2009-02-02 01:22:00
