Don't let your frustration cause you to violate this board's TOS by advocating anything illegal.

Sorry to see all the troubles you are having. All I can say is don't give up and I apologize for the lack of understanding being demonstrated by the consul in relation to the burden of parenting your children while ungoing the task of interviewing for the visa.

The fact that they asked you to return the very next day does imply to me at least they are looking favorably at your application. Normal procedure often times is AR (Administrative Review) where they tell you to return in a week with additional documentation and often times take several months to make a determination in your case.

Now as far as the age difference, 20 years is not uncommon. Seems to me you submitted enough documentation to establish a bonified relationship and most likely you will not hear any more about it. Sadly enough there is presure being applied from some groups in America on the U.S. Government to apply additional scrutiny on Foreign Women marriages. Most of the political presure comes from groups who by there own statements appear Racialy biased towards those they claim to be protecting. Even of more concern is since when is it the U.S Government's concern "who" and "how old" are the persons we marry as long as they are of the age of consent. In fact there are constitutional and legal rights protecting you and your decisions here in America.

My best advice is treat yourself to a good dinner tonight, grab a Mocha at Star Bucks next to the embassy before you go back in and don't take no for an answer.

you need to get over yourself. they could have made it at lot worse on YOU. there are people on this board that has been HELL. your case is no diffrent from anyone elses - really, I am not talking about your little interivew. there are people who have been Field investigated < some of us TWICE >. both the USC and the Immigrant received diffrent interview dates. there are some people suffering on AR/AP 2 years after their interview. so if the embassy ask you to come back maybe - just maybe it could be something in your favor.

I did not like what happend do us. but, let me tell you something .. your mealy few dollers for a hotel room is alot better than FIGHTING to remove a DENIAL < 212> so get over it.

btw, there are alot of people getting their petitions returned because, of age gap. 20 years. try reading the ISL and ME forums

I'm laughing, wondering how much a hotel and meals in Manila for one or two days must cost...

Sorry.

ditto We have all felt frustrated with this process one way or another, just be careful about illegal activities, especially this day and age.
