Hello everyone!!

I'm glad I found a site that is dedicated to helping those of us going through this tiresome and lengthy process at the very least vent about what is happening.

I'll try to make this short....

I am a US Citizen and my husband is a Mexican Citizen. Married since 2000, we have been through the entire process once and it took us 5 years to get a rejection letter. (Reason: a voluntary departure that became a order of deportation in 1992 that was not enforced until June of this year) After consulting with an attorney and having him tell us that we had to start all over again we hired him and started our consular process with the I-130. Before the I-130 was out the door.... Homeland Security came to our home and took my husband and deported him.

My husband has been in Mexico for about a month now... and our attorney says that there is no use in applying for a spousal visa because there is no way they will grant it because he was recently deported. And now all I need to do is wait and this should all be resolved in about 2 years.

WAIT?!?! 2YEARS?!!!??? I just came back from seeing him for a week..... It kills me to leave him and know that I won't be able to see him for a few months because I have to save up to go back. There must be something I can do...... I am not one to just wait... There has to be something else I can do to get him here faster than 2 years!!

So... here I am... I hope someone knows of something I can do to make this nightmare end. I just want to live a normal life again. We have a house, and he had a good job earning a decent living. We don't have any kids but we were already trying when he was removed from the US.

I hope this wasn't too lengthy for my first entry... if it was I apologize.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for the warm welcome and for letting me share my story. :) You don't know (or maybe you do) what a relief it is to know that I'm not the only one that's frustrated. :clock: I don't want anyone to have to go through this kind of emotional rollercoaster. <_<

Thanks!

I hope I didn't prematurely post... after reading some of the other forums... like "Take it easy on the Newbies" I don't want you guys to think I'm just here to mooch. :no: I was having one of those "What else can go wrong.... I miss him sooo much..... why is this so hard" type of days. :wacko:

I have however read FAQ (DCP) and it has helped me have a better understanding of what some of the terms are and the step by step breakdown helped as well. :thumbs:

What most attracted me to the site was the amount of support and encouragement everyone gives each other. I have family and friends that say they know what I'm going through...but they don't. ;) It's just nice to hear someone say... "I've been there, this is what I learned (or am learning) and look at how it worked out for us" :D

Welcome to VJ! You sound like you've already been through a lot, I hope your story has a quicker resolution then the lawyer suggested!

Don't worry about all that stuff (posts about newbies)

That's about people asking questions that are clearly outlined in the guides that people didn't read and/or understand. But not everyone gets upset at those questions either. Personally, I don't mind answering a question that I think is already spelled out somewhere because I realize that someone else may not know how to look for it or understand what they are reading. I know there are others who feel that way and then there are some who want people to exhaust their own methods of research before posting a question. Whichever way they believe, no one would EVER fault you for posting your experience and an intro!

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Welcome to VJ! You sound like you've already been through a lot, I hope your story has a quicker resolution then the lawyer suggested!

Me too....

especially after I found out that his little happy a## FORGOT TO MAIL MY I-130!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:ranting::ranting::ranting::ranting:

They finally mailed it out yesterday the 18th (and I made sure to get the USPS confirmation number).... after a good earful... of course.

We signed an agreement with them, which I don't think I can get out of... so I'm kinda stuck. They are supposed to be a really good firm. :lol: but I beg to differ. I have since gotten a second opinion and the other attorney said that this (DCF) is the quickest and easiest way to get through our situation.

Which brings me to my next question.... maybe someone has been through this ....

I did not tell my husband that this last month and a half has not exactly counted towards the 2 year waiting period.... I don't want him to go through the same amount of frustration and anger that I just went through knowing that there is not much he can do but get angry and frustrated..... do I keep this from him even though we don't ever keep things from each other just to save him the grief or do I tell him and let him go through the emotions and then let him know that we will just have to wait?

Thanks for the :help:
