some of you have asked for update on us

[sara..... 371]

Sara,

There aren't any words to explain how devastated we are for both of you...we too have our qualms about USCIS and this whole immigration system...and sometimes I wonder to myself if I really want to honor my citizenship to the USA because they have made it the hardest for both of us to be together...we are still waiting in the process, and when I read that you and Perviz are still waiting...we honestly feel your pain (F)

There were times when I called DOS to get updates and I was laughed at by DOS reps when asking about updates to our AP/AR status and called stupid for suggesting that congressmen/senators have access to that information...not to mention the demeaning manner of speaking most of those heartless DOS reps have. Moments like this make me wonder what the he** I am doing being a USC when the country I owe allegiance to is up in arms against the most important thing in my life. So I know what you are going through Sara, when USCIS gives you that ####### about your application being in a "special unit"...special unit my foot!

I understand that Perviz was denied a tourist visa and I see that others have given you ideas to close this K-1 process and to file for a K-3 or CR-1. And I also know about your health concerns making it hard for you to go visit India at this time

So since you say that Canada is only an 8 hour drive from you, and that a third country is an option you can look into, I would strongly suggest closing your current K-1 process, have Perviz apply for a tourist visa to Canada (much easier to get than the USA and they wont give him b.s. about already being a K-1 applicant, blah blah...) and drive to meet him in Canada and then work it out from there so that you can move to Canada with him and start your long-awaited happily ever after together.

Last but not least,

We pray that Allah grant you the fruit of your patience and diligence very soon and May Allah bless you with sound health and may He join you and Perviz together forever very, very, very soon, Ameen!

Lots of duas for you and Perviz and your families from us! (F)

ETA: If there is anything we can do, please PM me!

Ameen

Sara....

I found a couple of good sites check them out.

So nikah on the phone would be considered as proxy marriage which in most US states is considered as common law marriage, however Montana recognizes it!

So here it goes....check them out and see if it helps and what you may do...you can call the office in the last link and see if you file for immigration, will it work or not?

best of luck again!

on a few of the other forums i see, although much older posts....telephonic nikah will give you a nikah nama so you probably need to tell that you did a telephone nikah...just get the nikah nama, then get an English translated version, that would simply state you guys are married.

you are good to go, until the interview where they ummm....might ask for pictures of the wedding. But hey, we worry about it then, right!

yep, thats the thing about proxy marriages when it comes to USCIS. You would still have to see eachother before you filed.

well that will be only questioned at the interview....and hopefully by then you might be able to travel to india, to meet up with him?

Surely if you can file the I-130 with the certificate and get your approval and things start working out, your health will surely improve and with all prayers you might be able to travel.

i have appointment with an attorney next week to talk about all this not that im very impressed with attorneys right now given what has happened with the last one but this guy seems to be pretty good.

lets see what he says and if there will be any larger problem doing it this way or if it is as good an idea as we think it is, i personally like the idea

Sara, I wish there were words I could say, or something I could do to make things better for you. You are in our prayers, and believe you deserve to be happy. We will all definitely celebrate when you and Perviz are finally together. God bless you for your patience, endurance, and encouraging words to so many people. You are the backbone of VJ.

enraptured - with you on this....but would signatures help? who would we send it to?

the white house? every single state government in the US? i'd be livid if i was sara. seriously. i'm pissed off even reading about this situation....

there seriously has to be a way for this to be resolved. sara....God bless you, seriously. i know my words are just words, but i hope you know that it will all end one day.

[L179 1]

okay....then lets get to it!

[meowmeowmeow 0]

i guess sara or someone with most of the details of this case can write something out? i just know basically that sara petitioned her fiancee to come here and it's been dragging on for more than 2 years at this point. but would help to get some more specifics to add to the petition's details.

[L179 1]

good idea...

sara we're all in.......draft up something with your hear out on it.......

lets do this!

what kimandruss found the biggest issue with the last time we tried to this is, is how to keep personal addresses, and things out of it so that someone does not target either me or one of the wonderful vj family? we do get some weird people on there now and again that could damage a lot of us and in some cases at least one that i know of one of the mena girls was stalked

and with out the personal information how can a petition be formed?
