sorry to hear this i know how u feel they told me my fiance was not given visa because they felt it was only for immigration purpose after drilling him about my ex husband my question is did they send it back yo the uscis to get more evidence cause that is what they told me they were gona do but u got a quick second interview date great that is what i would love...lonely

Im so sorry to hear that! I really hope things work out for you two. I know the pain you are feeling. Yes, from my understanding they did send it back to the USCIS. A quick second interview obviously isnt a good sign =( So there hasnt been a second interview for you yet? Maybe thats a good thing! Maybe it will be approved! Keep your head up...things will work out!!

Although I do not know enough to give you any advice, I can feel your pain from what you posted. I wish you and your family the best of luck.

Thank you so much! Same to you and your family

yuck! What a terrible predicament! Like others have said, if you were able to obtain sole custody of your child, that would be one way to move there. I too would have moved to Morocco if my circumstances were different. We just recieved noa2 so the interview will be coming up and i try not to dwell on the negetive but it gets a little difficult when you read about more denials than approvals from Casablanca.

Yes, Im going to try. Oh, wow!! Yes, do not dwell on the negative. Just make sure you have alot of proof. Visit him often... Good luck with everything!!!

I have sole legal custody of my children from my first marriage. I was able to get them passports without my ex-husband's "permission". I simply presented a copy of the court papers outlining full custody when applying.

I did, however, need his permission to legally move them out of the country. Interestingly enough, I did as Boiler suggested and negotiated a bit by forgiving all the unpaid child support, joint debt and lowered monthly child support. He gave his permission, my lawyer wrote it all up, everyone signed off and I moved my kids to Nigeria.

Although I always carried a copy of the new custody paperwork with me during our varied international travels, I was not once asked for proof that I had permission to travel with my children outside of the country. Not by any airline, immigration or customs in any country. So, I would argue that you can travel with your child outside of the US without the other parents permission on Vacation. Permanently relocating them is another matter entirely.

You probably want to talk to a family law attorney in GA. Most states have organizations that offer free or reduced family law services if you cannot afford a private attorney.

Just my personal experience.....

Ive heard so many different things. Ive read so many different things. I have no idea which way to go first. My sons father has never paid child support. He evades the system some how, and to be completely honest...Im terrified of this man. I still have nightmares about what he did to me. Thank you for your help...it is greatly appreicated.

I do not think that the custody had a bearing on the case as much as the lack of knowledge that the beneficiary may of had of the custody arrangement. My husband was asked if my children came to visit him. I had to have my sons biological father sign the passport application and he also provided me with a notarized statement giving me permission to take my one son this past month on an international trip to Morocco. I was up front with USCIS during the NOIR process and provided them with documentation to that affect. They are looking for the bona fides of a relationship, certain things must be discussed in detail to be prepared for an interview. Even if the beneficiary has the right answer, they look for other physical indicators as well. Morocco is diificult on every level becaue of the stigma associated with Moroccan men. I suggest that you start to prepare a rebuttal now as if you were going to present it before a federal court. The wait now will be hard, but you can overcome this in time.

I wish you the best.

I agree. The subject of my son, and his biological father is a very touch subject for me. We didnt speak much of it. I didnt think the custody of my son would have anything to do with my fiance visa. I guess I was wrong lol. Yes, I have read so much stuff about Moroccan men, but not all of them are bad. What do I need to include in the rebuttal? Do you know what is going to happen next? What should I prepare for? Im so lost... Thank you so much for your help!! It is greatly appreciated!

Which places are those? Can you elaborate?

How about if the father snatches the child away from the mother without a court hearing, would you be in favor of that?

The point is that there are bad mothers and fathers, and the law is there to protect what is best for the child. It's not about getting approval from either parent, but allowing both parents to have a day in court and an impartial third party listening to both sides of the story. Thank God that laws have been enacted to protect the rights of the child , and not simply treat the child like a prized possesion of either parent.

Youre right, and this is not what I want to do. But, if my sons biological father really cared about my son...he would at least TRY to be around. I mean he has contacted my sister AND my cousin trying to have sex with them...he even told my cousin "Ah, forget the kid...I have always wanted you!" He has all of my email addresses, and he has me blocked on facebook. I know...you said go to court...not here. lol! Im working on it =)

I'm sorry but that is absolutely NOT true !

Marraige has little bearing on parental rights of either parent. It can complicate matters if the child is born to a married female where the father is not the biological father, but that is quickly corrected via paternity. Regardless, the OP stated that the biological father is listed on the birth certificate so even that is a moot point.

UMMMMM it is true depending on where you live....... My daughter once had a situation where her daughters father would not bring her home... we called the police and were told that because the child was born out of wedlock and there was no custody order no a visitation order in place that there was nothing they could do... They have equal rights...... We live in maryland....

How do I file this petition? I went to the courts, and they told me I would have to have an open court case in order to talk to a judge. Is there a specific form that I need to ask for? Thank you so much for your advice =)

Im not sure how you would do it in your state, but here in Maryland it is done in family court, and we have legal aid here who can assist with filling the paperwork. Because my ex and I have joint custody it is a modification of our court order. Someone in the courts should be able to direct you as to how and what you need to petition the courts. I wish you the best....
