I am sorry to hear your story and hope that it all works out for you. I can see why there might be some hesitation on the part of the embassy to approve the visa though. I read the article on your finace's accident. It was in Feb. 2010 and by Sept. 2010 he was engaged to you. Also as a taxpayer of this country, I have a problem with him getting disability. I am no doctor but, I can see his broken bones are healed, he has 2 arms and 2 legs, he can obviously pick up at least 50 pounds ( He has his son on his shoulders) and can lift his arms above his head. I am tired of paying taxes for people that collect taxpayers money when they can be employable. If he has a disability that is not apparent, I will apologize but from appearances it looks like someone taking advantage of the system.

So im not the only one to notice this, it actual happened in January and by April he was in the Philippines with a new woman talk about WOW also look at the timeline in her personal blog. Look i dont know what happened to the X wives but somethings not right and apparently someone else thinks so also!

Go to the embassy and get your passport back. Call Marc Ellis for a phone consultation, he is a member here and he has articles pinned on returned petitions in the K1 forum. He specializes in returned petitions.

It will take a while to hear from the USCIS. If they give you a chance to address the issues then they may reaffirm and send the case back to the embassy.

It's good that you corrected yourself bro :thumbs: As to how can people move on so fast? Would u rather have him wallow on pain be in deep sorrow for long? if he is a love one you wouldn't want that. There are things/questions that runs my mind too but I rather keep them to myself as it wont help the OP's concern at all.

I remember your fiance's story quite well as his deceased wife Maria was also a VJ member and we have common friends at FB. There was even a post here about her and the that accident that claimed her life....

To the OP goodluck!!

Presumably the main reason was that he was unable to meet the requirements of the affidavit of support.

There certainly seem some interesting secondaries.

I would rather a disabled person would get some of my tax dollars than what Obama does with our tax dollars. The other thing is that I don't think we should be judgemental about people, because unless we walk in their shoes we don't know what life is like for them.

I have a son-in-law who is disabled from the military, and there is a percentage, and I don't remember what that percentage is right off hand, but if I remember correctly he had some say in what percentage of disability he would get. The percentage of disability allows him to work, and he does. Does he appear to be disabled? No, he doen't appear to be disabled. What is wrong with him? His shoulders are messed up. He can't do things that the rest of us can do on a regular basis or his shoulders become extremely painful, and he can't hardly do anything. He has to be careful all the time about what he does. He can't drive nails over head, or it destroys him. He can't use a rock bar while digging or doing fensing work, or he will tear his shoulders up, and then he can't do anything without suffering from extreme pain for months. Just cutting pork meat with a sawsal did his shoulders in, and now he is not able to do very much. If you didn't know him personally you would never know he has those problems as he doesn't go around crying about them. But those problems are real never the less. You might be able to get a picture taken of him doing something, and then say "oh, look at that picture, he is not disabled." But what the picture does not show is that doing that action on a repeated basis causes him great pain, and destroys his ability to do things. In order for him to live normally without extreme pain he has to be very careful, and he just can't do what most of the rest of us can do on a regulary basis.

So my assumption is that some of the people criticizing the op for being on disability should keep their opinions to themselves, because there is a good chance that they don't know what they are talking about.

Good luck on the next journey you are about to pursue and keep the faith!

Off topic...but something that was mentioned...I attended an EEO training a few months back...the instructor was a lady in her 40's.

She obviously is able to work. But, just by looking at her, you couldn't tell she has service connected disability of 200%...she is a

retired US Army...and takes a bunch of meds for the ailments she has though not visible to the naked eye...so, please don't judge!

As for moving on so fast...individuals deal with tragedies in their life differently...some wallow in their pain and sorrow and become

distraught for a long time and some can quickly pick up and move on rather than stay in that bottomless pit they are on...my 2 cents!

Everybody I know on Disability works as well on the side.

I am sure there are some genuine cases.

That's not what it said on her 221g.

If you think the President of the United States appropriates tax dollars, then you are going to flunk your citizenship test.

I don't think the President of the United States appropriates tax dollars, but I do think that he makes decisions that causes spending that raises taxes, and I could say more about him and the economy, but I don't think I will, because you all get the point.

Still I am not like some people who feel angry every time they think a disabled person is on disability. I am glad that it is there for them if they need it. I am sure there are some people who do cheat, but I also believe that most people who get disability need it and don't milk the system. I am glad to help support them with my tax dollars. I also think there are other wastes that could be eliminated.

Sorry to not getting back here lately. I wanna say big THANK YOU to everyone. We will be going to Cebu to visit his late wife family and that they will meet their nephew/grandson. And whatever will happen to our case, me and my fiance will get married here in the philippines. We are willing to live here, the little boys are getting so attach to my family. We are happy living in simple life. I know, not everyone understands how the life story of my fiance goes. Who would believe that a young man married twice but also widowed twice in just 3 years, and was left alone taking care of his 2 sons?" I understand, because I did feel the same thing as first. I even asked him before, why move on so fast? He said he needs to start moving on and not think so much of what had happened because it only made him think to wanna die. But because of his sons, he need to be strong. His one heart desire is to have someone to love and someone who will love him for many years. He also doesnt want that his sons will grow up without a Mommy.

Right now, the little boys are thinking that I am their Mommy. And I love them as they are my own. And in time (the right time) I will never forget to tell them about their real Mommy. I talked to them about it as their angel mom for their little minds. I show them the love of the mother. And I love my fiance as well. I can see and feel how the happenings traumatized him, He always have this fear that he might lost me again. I so wanna make him feel that nothing will happen, that we will be okay.

My fiance doesnt look like disabled in the picture but once you see him in person you can tell. His right leg was broken and a metal rod was put on there so he can be able to stand and walk but not fast, he walk like a drunk. A skin was taken in his left leg to cover the metal rod in his right leg. His right arm was broken too and that he cant carry heavy things for few minutes. Although there are times he do things beyond of what he can but it shows after, the pain he feel then.

To everyone, thank you so much for the best of lucks.
