E-mails

[jordin 0]

I am a litter worry because on the e-mails I submitted with the I-129 for my Cuban fiancee we wrote to each other as husband and wife. It is just the way we call each other since we lived together for a while. Howecer we are not legally marry. We are both free to marry each other once she arrive to Puerto Rico.

Also is very natural and part of the culture to call each other husband and wife in the Habana when you live with your fiancee.

Will that affect in a negative way my petition for fiancee visa? Withe the Packgage I submitted the of "solteria" certificate stating she is single.

Please I need some advice.

I can't say for 100% sure but I think you don't have to worry.. Me and my fiancé also call each other hubby and wifey on everything we write to each other and I am not worried at all for the consulate to be a pain about it

Relationship evidence is optional evidence for the I-129F. Some people have found out that providing optional evidence is more damaging than helpful... many others have experienced no issues....

I personally wouldnt provide them of evidence of a relationship, as it may cause doubt.

you provided the Solteria, and that proves that you guys aren't married. If fact, I believe that you calling each other husband & Wife gives evidence of your relationship, and that is what they are looking for. Don't stress yourself over that. good luck

Thanks for your reply I really was getting stress over this issue. Like you mentioned is just they way we latinos call each other when we have a true and honest relatioship.

Thanks! and have a nice day

Thanks for your quick reply. I will try not to stress myself. We do really have a true relatioship and I believe that what it counts.

I hope everything goes fine.

Thanks and good luck to you too.

I realize it's a cultural thing and respect that fact but I'm also aware that a lot of consulates frown on this. I know mentioning it at the border when visiting is a big no-no so I would imagine it would raise a few flags at some stage that don't need to be raised. I doubt you'll have troubles but I would advise against it for others reading this.

I think that it is fine. Anyone living in Cuba should know of this. I was confused at first. A friend of my boyfriend talked to me about his "esposa" but then my boyfriend called her "his novia" -- I said, "I thought it was his esposa" my boyfriend (who lives in havana but is from santiago) said "whatever, esposa, novia, es igual si estan viviendo juntos"

The problem is that you're interviewing with a US consulate and even though they may know that it's common for couples to refer to each other as such, some of those consulates also deny petitions if the officer even suspects there is a marriage.

For instance, a couple from India was just denied because they had a 'non-legal' ceremony and included the pictures.

It is YOUR burden to prove you are not married. Hard to do in many places around the world.

It's fine if that's the way you refer to each other... I realize it's the norm in some places. But you are going through the US immigration process and should take nothing for grated. There are some consulates/officers that are just looking for reasons to deny people. Sad...but true.

So, while it may be common place for you to refer to each other as husband and wife and while you're probably going to be ok ....there are a lot of people reading this from other countries that most certainly would not be if they did the same.

You are right. But when we wrote to each other we did not know about the US Inmigration and Consulate procedures. Since I been in this site I have learned a lot. AS a warning for other that may have not file yet be aware of this issue.

Before we got here we actually lived together for 2 years! Thought we could just travel around...leave every 90 days and thought we were obeying the laws as I waited my divorce. Yeah...doesn't work that way! Our bad!

Now I feel like I could write a book on the process! So thankful for those who came before us and helped guide us to where we are now.

Jordin, i'm sure you and yours will be just fine! Hope you see your approval soon!
