Need some prayers from VJers (sorry I rhyme when upset)

[Visa4habibi! 0]

Girls and sisters! VJers :help:

Now it's my turn to ask. My praying doesn't seem to be working, at least not for me! The congress woman's office told me today that they found out about 'intent to deny" my husband's visa (k-3). I haven't seen any actual papers yet.

Now i'm just supposed to sit and wait for the letter to come in the mail and do something after i get it (appeal)? Don't know it that's going to help. I've been praying and praying like crazy. It only seems to be working when i pray for someone else - i offered to pray together and since last week there's been some good news, thanks God! I still continue to pray for all the good ppl on VJ every day, but afraid now that i'll have to go live to Morocco and leave???my two teenage sons with my ex??? I don't want to do that!

Thank you

Tanya

August 2004 - met first time in person after chatting for 1.5 month online.

March 2005 - tourist visa denied!

May 2005 - married

February 2006 - K-3 visa - denied! based on some dumb... writting something wrong in my husband's file!

July 2006 - interview - husband was sent home, told him to tell me to find out what's going on with K-3 visa! Didnt' even give any kind of paper with explanation! They can't issue immigrant visa without the k-3!

Tanya,

Don't give up hope. Chiquita, whose petition was originally denied, just had success the second time around after the USCIS reaffirmed their case and her husband went for his second interview.

Have you been in touch with any of the women who have gone through this? They are all extremely nice and gracious about helping others who find themselves in this awful situation.

Do you have any red flags that you didnt address to the consulate prior to the interview?

yes we have. Stinking age difference. That's all!

Thanks Rebecca. I've tried to contact them, i mean, i did. But either couldn't understand the reply or didn't get any from anybody who knows these things and how to win with the consulate. Lots of nice people wrote to me and I've been trying to help others (at least moral support). But still don't know what to do and can't hire a lawyer - i'm so broke now, i'm afraid to even think about it!

You do have a right to appeal... but be careful they only give you so much time to respond

i know Jamie, they told me "30 days". But i have to get the letter first - don't know when that'll happen. But what am i supposed to do now? Cry my eyes out or go somewhere and pick a fight lol?

I'm not quite sure what you need to write in response. Maybe you could consult an immigration lawyer with experience in NOIR/NOID ?

[Bosco 1]

I think most of the women waited several months to get their letters.

I know some of the women had to address age differences in their petitions. I am not quite sure how they address this. Maybe someone who has done this will offer up suggestions.

"I've been praying and praying like crazy. It only seems to be working when i pray for someone else"

I have come to same realization...

I pray for you. I hope everything works out.

My mom told me tonight (1st night of Rajab month), you pray for what you want and God will grant you. I will pray for you, myself and all the others who are waiting.

Take care,

Yasi

crystal clear for me

06/03/04: John left for Taipei on board China Airlines; reached LA then DFW same

day; I miss my honey; we both wait for the approval of my annulment

petition (series of court hearings and procedures; constant follow-up to

expedite the process; delays because of holidays, official leaves of

court personnel, etc; judge is meticulous, no short-cuts) ; John had been

very supportive and is still.

03/23/06: Regional Court Decision out: Declaring absolute nullity of my marriage.

We were very happy! The long wait was over! Actually, the decision/resolution

made was dated February 23, 2006. It took a month for editing, finalization,

etc by the court stenographers, clerk of court, etc.

Upon receipt of the Decision, I flew to Manila (I’m from Iloilo City) and

personally hand-carried the Decision to the Solicitor-General (was

praying Sol-Gen won’t object to the decision; RTC’s give 15 days for

Sol-Gen to appeal)

04/07/06: No appeal from Solicitor-General. RTC recorded the decision in the Book of

Entries of Judgment (as final and executory). Entry of Judgment signed by

the Clerk of Court. This was then forwarded to Local Civil Registrar.

Annotation was done to my Marriage Certificate. Submitted the Annotated

(with Annulment Remarks) Marriage Certificate to NSO (National Statistics Office)

for authentication and on SECPA (Security Paper). I got my SECPA annotated

marriage certificate after 3 weeks.

Sent remaining pertinent documents to John needed for the K1 petition.

I think there is a yahoo group specifically for women married to Moroccans who have encountered difficulties. Can someone who knows of it pm it to Tanya?

Firelion & Yasi - if you're theory is right that praying for others works better than praying for yourselves, then rest assured there are plenty of us here that have you both (among many here) in our prayers - on a daily basis Everything will work out insha'Allah - I didn't think ours would ever be resolved either, and it FINALLY did get resolved - yours will too - hang in there.
