tourists visa, to educational visa, to marraige visa, to asylum

[sara..... 371]

First of all if this is the wrong place please will a mod move it.....

A lot of you remember me and a lot of you dont but here goes ......this is a very serious topic that i really need answers to if anyone has any experience or knows the rules that may apply i need to hear you.....

Ok I met someone here in the states....thru our parents of course BUT.......I do not know if i should keep going or not to see where it leads because of these issues...

His parents both of them born in Palestine made their way to Brazil...then he and his siblings were born in Brazil

Then his parents brought all of them to the USA first on tourist visa his then turned into education visa (ten years ago)

He got married was married for six months the girl filed paper work for him.....the day of the interview they got into a huge fight because he found out she was cheating with her babies daddy.....so you can imagine the interview was not a good one.....he had been waiting for about two years to get an answer from the application that was filed no result so his attorney filed for political asylum for him...he receives visa every year and permission to work while he has been waiting all of this mess out.......

His father owns several shops here in the USA and is doing well so is not an issue of money he works hard as well

Now i want to know if i marry him what are the chances he is gonna be sent back to what ever country the USA determines to send him to?

He is a very nice person I don't think he is looking for visa from me he was doing fine before he got married to the other girl.....and has an attorney involved in this mess but i personally have no experience with this kinds of issues I like him a lot but is not to late for me to turn and run if this has no chance to have a positive out come......i hate attorneys they are called lawyers for a reason (liars) but i also know that this kind of case can not be done with out one.....

My simple 2 cents are - he has been lucky he has been getting assylum, since Brazil is not a country in turmoil that an assylum is required.

Lawyer is involved but that does not gurantee anything, nor INS gives a ####### if lawyers is involved or not involved.

But end of the day call is yours no one can tell u to be with this guy or not to be with him, that is your call.

well, my personal opinion is that if you love him, then you should be prepared for the administrative nightmare that could ensue during the visa process. It is not for the fainthearted. I'm sure you've probably read all the nightmare stories of other VJers here. So despite all that, if your heart is in and you do love him and are ready for all that can come, then sure. If OTOH, you only "like him a lot" (as per your words) and are not in love with him and dont envision a future, then you should probably walk away now when you have the chance. my 2 cents FWIW. best of luck!

He is a Brazilian national?

What is the basis of his asylum case?

[sara..... 371]

to answer a couple of questions no i am not in love with him because im not that easy to get past anymore after that mess with perviz....i do like him a lot and am attracted to him that's why i said i wanted information so that i could make the choice of either going forward and seeing if there is enough to lead to love or if i should just walk/run away because chances are very little that it will come to a good end on the immigration end of this.

I am not sure that he is Brazilian national because the political asylum was based on his Palestine nationality i do not know the law in Brazil with people giving birth in their country when the parents are not citizens.....

Im only going by the documents he gave me when i asked to see proof of what he was telling me.

I looked it up, he is a Brazilian.

So what fears does he have returning to Brazil?

Marriage is all about being together "forever" with the one special person you love so much that you can't imagine living life without them. From what you are posted, I don't see you being ready for this.

[Boiler 45,467]

What percentage of asylum claims are fraudulent?

Why would a Brazilian claim to be from a country that does not exist and to an area he has never been to?

Why file so late, especially when there is a requirement to file with one year of entry or be presumed fraudulent.

The one common factor is the desire to stay in the US by hook or by crook.

I didnt ask for anyone to judge if I am ready for this or not i am trying to gather information as to the possible out come if it would be favorable so that i myself can make an informative decision as to if i want to continue to see if something does come of it......but thank you for your opinion

he has been in the states legally for ten years.....he is not filing late nor has he ever been out of status....maybe i just did not explain it clearly.......

“Affirmative” Asylum Processing with USCIS

In the affirmative asylum process, individuals who are physically present in the United States, regardless of how they arrived or their current immigration status, may apply for asylum. They do so “affirmatively” by submitting a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, to USCIS. In keeping with the idea that a genuine asylum-seeker should present himself/herself to authorities “without delay,” asylum-seekers must apply for asylum within one year from the date of last arrival in the United States, unless they can show:

(1) Changed circumstances that materially affect their eligibility or extraordinary circumstances relating to the delay in filing, and

(2) that they filed within a reasonable amount of time given those circumstances.

The changed circumstances here is that he exhausted all other avenues? And that was the only one left?

(Sara went through what was probably one of the worst administrative nightmares ever documented on VJ, and was stronger than any of us and completely supportive of the rest of us while her own heart was breaking.) Sara sweetie, this does sound as though you'd need to caucus with a VERY good attorney. You'd probably need complete details of every step of the guy's immigration process thus far -- exact dates, ages, authorizations, waivers, exceptions, communications, etc. -- to determine his precise current status and where it could lead. Perhaps others on here can comment with some authority.

I do think that you're very properly asking these kinds of questions now, and I have no doubt that you're constantly weighing the pros & cons against the internal strength that you have. Sometimes, we exhaust our reservoir of strength. I know that you're very self-aware and can accurately gauge your ability to proceed on the basis of whatever you learn.
