Only you can really completely see what is going on and make a decision, but from what you have said, there are a bunch of really enormous red flags. Any of those things individually (the multiple visa applications, the "bugging" comments, and the indications that he is planning for how things will be different after he gets the visa & is in the U.S.) would be cause for concern, but all of them together sounds really, really suspicious to me.

The requirement is that you've seen each other in person within the last 2 years, not that you have known each other for 2 years.

OP,

Although I feel slightly guilty about offering this suggestion, you could try this since you have such serious doubts already...

Just tell him you are starting to consider moving THERE instead of his moving here, and see how he reacts.

He even made a few comments about he doesn't need me bugging him anymore and he will soon get his visa so he doesn't have to deal with me bugging him.

-Kristina

IMHO the question you should be asking is whether you really want to marry him ? Is that what you are looking for in a husband?

I apologize if it sounds harsh, but I don't know how to put it mildly in this case...

You guys are great! Thank you. I will contact them asap. Another question, will this affect me if in the future for some reason i decide to file another petition? Should i tell my fiance i will withdraw the petition and that he should not go to the interview? Will they tell him when he goes to his interview?

I know a friend who withdrew her petition,they are married (IR-1/CR-1). She withdrew because she was upset at her spouse. Now they are starting all over again because they were denied. "Yes", this decision will most definitely affect you, him and your unborn child for life. It will also be part of a deciding factor if you file another petition. So weigh your options carefully.

If you know your fiancee is coming here with no other intention than to immigrate, then withdrawing your petition is not going to make your situation any worse. A child does not make it "a must" to marry the man who helped you create him/her, but know, you will, most likely, be raising the child alone, and without support of any type. ON AN ADDITIONAL NOTE: If your fiancee is coming here for immigration purposes only, you will be raising this child alone, and most likely, without any type of support, anyway.

If this is just a spat, I would suggest dropping it now and both of you should really think about if you are ready for marriage. If you marry, neither of you should ever use the immigration process as a means to threaten the other person or make them feel that you will leave them, turn them over to authorities, make false petitions or accusations, etc., as part of a fight. That is petty and cruel and is a form of verbal abuse.

Think wisely and make decisions only when you are thinking clearly and not angry. I wish you both all the best and Congratulations on your baby. Children are a blessing!
