I haven't read through all of the responses, but they must have given something. Did they give you a 221g? If yes, then what was marked and what was the notes? Please don't be too down, it might be something simple that will be quickly resolved.

Hello morocco4ever, and all lovely VJers for your postings, thank you.

No, nothing was given to us, no 221 g, nothing, just a stab in our hearts. My husband was strong walking out of embassy, I broke down, I lost it. He picked me up and took me out of there, before they would of heard me, I just got home to USA an hour ago, and my heart aches, saying good bye at airport to my loving husband killed, me, I fear I will never see him again, for he has to return to Algeria. I dont have the words to describe what is left in my heart, all I know is the air I breath is for my husband,

Not many know our story of our first filing in Feb. 2008 and why it was withdraw. So I will tell.

When I was 18 I married a man who was wanted by the law, and married to another woman, I did not know any of this at the time, my parnets found this out and confronted him, he left that day and never returned, we were only married less then 3 months. One day I came home, and there was my parents and 2 men, I believe were lawyers, they told me to sign a paper, and I did, then my parents sent me out of the room. After a bit, they called me back in, and told me what they found out of my so called husband, I was told the marriage was not legal and would never show on file. I was never married to him. End of story.

4 years later I married a perfectly good man, but I divorced him 6 years later, many years being single I met my husband. I married him Nov. 2007, several months later I found that marriage cert from 25 years ago on file, and was told by courts, no divorcve, or annulment, nothing on file, still a legal marriage, I immedialtey withdrew our petition with USCIS, our petition was never processed, and was withdraw before they processed it. In mean while, I got my attorney who filed for the divorve from that man 25 years ago, we hunted him down, and found him thru the intervet, it was all we could do, so she knew the whole story and the judge who granted the divorcve also knew, he granted the divorce, no talk of bigamy at all, they knew I was a good, honest person, who found herself in a bad situation.

My attorney is also a substitute judge for the one who granted my divorce., Never any criminal filed on me, only thing on me is a ticket for no seatbelt. which I paid timely, and had 1 point taken from my drivers license 15 years ago, Never been in trouble in my life.

Feb. 2009 I re-married my current husband, had a honeymoon and filed this petition we interview for.

I was told by a well know immigration attorney as long as I tell USCIS everything when I filed this current petition, the embassy can not hold it against us since we withdrew more then timely. But that is why that interviewer woman is doing.

Well, the lady at embassy durning the interview told me, they have to look into bigamy on me, that is why no decision was given.

I emailed the supervisor at embassy, and reminded them to look at the cover letter that was attached to our 2 nd petition telling them EVERYTHING, and we did, every last bit of the whole ugly story.

I remined them Washington DC got involved in our petiton, and why did this bigamy talk not come up with USCIS approved our petition?

I was told what counts is the 2nd petition, our current one we interview for.

I dont what lays ahead of us, my whole life is my Mo, my husband, its cause of me, and a terrible thing 25 years ago, that I truly did not know what still there lingering. My parents are dead, so I cant ask them, my brother only says mom and dad took care of it.

I just dont know. I feel nothing inside of me.

Funny thing that woman at embassy asked me who filed for divorce on the man I married that was a good guy, I told her it was me, and it was me. Why would she ask me that?

So there is my story, I do know what lays head for us. My husband is very supportive of me thru this, but I feel I ruined both our lifes together, all the fighting for this approval for nothing.

I love you all, I hope YOUR dreams come true.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

What hurts is with this 2nd petition, I told them everything on the cover letter, even right down to why I did not list the 1st husband from 25 years ago under the parts where they ask for former marriages. I told the whole truth as advised, but it did us no good being honest, embassy is holding it against me!!! The attorney was 100% correct, and also told me might have to explain at interview, but she is after me for something on 1st petition that was withdrew before it could be processed.

Tomorrow, I go back to work, a little bit of normacy, but my heart will never be normal again.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

in light of your post and the facts you stated, there really can't be any reason why they shouldn't give your hubby a visa. seriously, NONE. so basically the issue lies with you, not him...or both. who knows. that doesn't mean you won't have the visa and he cannot come... i really wish i could say or do something to help you :( i can't imagine going through this...... :( but you guys were honest and that's all you could have done, really...right? hopefully VJ can bring some of that positive karma towards your case that you cannot muster right now... :(

God does not put people through more than they can bear, so hang in there...there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, even if you do not see it right now... (F)

and at least you have this wealth of information available to you, as well as loads of people who care and who make suggestions/give support, etc etc...

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((BETH)))))))))))))))))))))))

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

a little while from now, you will be laying in bed with your hubby and remembering all this as you fall asleep and smile, knowing that it was all worth it for that moment you are experiencing then (F)(L)

Beth, as I pm'd you before... Just keep your head up... if they have no legal reason to deny you (whihc they do not) then they are just being difficult and making sure that there is not a legal reason for them not to issue the visa... Since you were up front about everything and have the documentation, once they get into the meat of th issues and realize that there was no legal barrier to your marriage and you filed the 2nd petition with all the correct info then he will be approved.... and you will be together... Just have a little faith, you have put out some great karma so you should get a good things in return...

Try to think positive and EXPECT good things to happen... Big hug from me... Don't give up yet... It's not over till the fat lady sings and we ain't heard her yet!!!

Beth,

(F) I know you need time to absorb everything. My heart and prayers go out to you (L)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Beth, I can only send you love and support for you and Mo. I remember one point in our journeys, we were at the same place. I think it was waiting for NVC to acknowlege our cases. You went through a day after us as I recall. My wife's interview is in Manila within 48 hours from now, and that is my main preoccupation right now, but that is not the only case I've been worried about. My thoughts and prayers have been with you also. I was worried that something was wrong when you didn't post for a few days. You've been honest about your situation to all the immigration agents, so there's no reason for you not to be able to be with your loving husband. I hope he is there with you soon. I hope my wife is here with me soon. We all here know the pain of being apart from our loved ones. God bless you both, and I hope you are together soon.

(F)

It takes 8 months for us to see each other back again since we started our visa process, and now here we are reunited back again and happy together.
