VISA DENIED...NEW LIGHT

[mounir412 101]

Sorry to hear that

[sera77 35]

Well, Papa was DENIED based on there was not sufficient proof that this is a bonafide relationship...lol!!! What a joke. I have been to Jamaica 8 times in less than a year. I was pregnant and miscarried. We have 100's of photos. His mom just left from visiting me. Western Union receipts. A year's worth of yahoo messages and over $1000 in phone bills. But I love him...no turning back!!!

I think you might want to look into whether or not he is required to enter into some sort of official rehab program before successfully reapplying for the visa. While he has a one year ban I believe there is more to it than simply sitting out the 1 year. I'm fairly certain I've read other postings about this.

Regarding the other posts about whether or not you should take a look at your relationship, I do think it would show his determination to be with you if he successfully completed some sort of drug rehab. Not just to you but also to the embassy people. Yes, I know marijuana is a relatively 'mild' drug compared to so many others out there, but the uscis does take it seriously so applicants should too if they want a successful visa process.

Good luck.

Marijuana is NOT legal in Jamaica. Its just that people smoke it and not get caught because nobody is wasting time looking for people smoking weed.

I don't think he was banned because weed is illegal down there in JA. He was banned because it is illegal in the USA.

This is perhaps a great suggestion. I'm really sorry to hear about this situation. I can imagine how you must be feeling. In moving forward... this suggestion could help him not only to stay clean, but to show that since his interview he has been proactive, as it is most likely it will be mentioned in a future interview even if he passes that medical. Having evidence that he went through rehabilitation should work in his favor.

Considering that you knew before hand that recently smoking 'weed' carries a one year ban then I don't think you should be disappointed. Did your fiance admit to using or did the doc find marijuana in his system?

You being denied as well because of a lack of a bonafide relationship between you and your fiance should be an eye opener. Not saying that there isn't a genuine relationship between you both but this is a good opportunity to look at your relationship under a microscope. Maybe have an 'outsider' (someone who is objective and you trust) look at your cell messages and or IMs and tell you their impression of your relationship. The fakeness of your relationship may have come across to the CO due to how your fiance answered his questions eg: too confident/rehearsed, not confident enough, hesitation, nervousness, not knowing basic must know info, vague answers, answering 1 question different times with different answers, story not adding up. Your fiance's denial may also be due to the relationship comming off as a 1 way relationship eg: too many trips in one year to JA by you, too many Western Union receipts (for such a short relationship), the amount sent via Western Union, the converstion in the chat evidence (you're obviously more into it than him/he's professing love very soon after knowing you) etc. Take this one year a chance to see if your relationship is true. Don't rush into anything.

I am sorry to hear about the denial. However, the above post is very good. Hope the OP would consider the suggestions. I think the above post could help you out in the next visa petition, should you wish to do it again. God bless !

[SWEETEPIPHANY67 9]

Yes everything happens for a reason. This denial could give you a year to strengthen your relationship or at the end of one year you're dating someone new. All I'm saying is this is a chance to be level headed with your current relationship considering that it's pretty new and it started at a time when you were still emotional from a preivous relationship....I'm not saying you shouldn't visit your love I'm just saying as an outsider (or CO) you may look desperate condidering that you've only been dating for a year and visited 8 times already. Anyway you looking at your own relationship right know equals a very biased or corrupted view. Have someone else objective do that.

Marrying him if he continues to smoke weed and there is still hardly any evidence of a bonafide relationship will get you a big fat DENIAL. Beside the obvious in regards to the smoking you need to overcome the doubt in the CO'S mind that your fiance only wants you for a green card. The is where 'you looking at your own relationship right know equals a very biased or corrupted view' comes in handy again because you will end up doing the same things, making the same mistakes and getting the same results and a second denial which would be catastrophic. Maybe it would be good for the both of you to visit another Caribbean island (no visa needed most places) so it seems more 50/50 on both your parts. How about him mailing you a birthday, valentine's, congratulations or love cards? Has any of your family members joined you on a trip to Ja (evidenced by pictures) to look for your fiance?

Well, since you asked...I have cards and letters. He presented all of that. On my second visit he wrote a note on a napkin to me. I carry that napkin in my wallet and on each visit, he writes something special on that napkin. The napkin is full now with little love notes. He even took a copy of that to the interview. The problem may have been in his answers to some questions...Have you met her children? He responded by telling them that he speaks with them on the phone and they chat online. But he has never met them as they have not been to Jamaica. They asked if he knows about my exhusband and he stated that he does know what I have told him but he doesnt know any more than that... Then on the Western Union printout they noticed that I has sent money to his daughter and wanted to know why. He told them that I had sent her money for her birthday. And one other time which he got upset about. He told me that I shouldnt give them things without his approval because he doesnt want them to think that its that easy. They asked if he knew that I had filed chapter 13 in the past. Well, that wasnt important. So I dont know if we talked about that. As that filing was a result of the divorce and it has been discharged.

My cousin met him when she visited Jamaica. My mother speaks with him on the phone. He and my eldest daughter text and chat often. My younger boys were excited about him coming. He talks with my sister and other family members. My dad's ex wife has a dentist office in Kingston and she knows him. I am close with his family here and there. His sister is a doctor in Atlanta Georgia. His mom is a citizen. He didnt need me to get him to America.

As far as being desperate...Well, I am a quite attractive woman if I do say so myself. I have no self esteem issues. I own my own business ( for 12 years ) and I am a homeowner. I have 99 problems and a man isnt 1...lol. I have read many statuses on here where women have traveled several times over to see their men... Not out of desperation...But likely because they truly do love them. When you are in love, you dont want to be apart. So maybe I should question those who find it easy to only see the one they say they love twice a year. Not only have I read those statuses about the visits...But I have read those of people who have known each other for less time than Ive known my fiance.

So once again...I dont take anything you have said as a negative. I do understand what you are saying. And I will take it all into consideration. Thank you again. Miracles, love and blessings to you and yours.

I am so sorry to hear of your denial. God keep and bless you and comfort you.

Okay lets put on our CO hat. You said you submitted pics.

1. Did you have alot with friends and family?

2. Have you meet his family?

3. Did you have any affidavits from family (yours or his)?

4. Does he work? I only ask because you mentioned the Western Union receipts.

5. Your letters of Intent how did u state those

6. Circumstances of how you meet.

As I was reading this I was looking at it like a CO would. A woman traveling 8 times in 1 year anywhere is WOW alot. And they may very well be looking at this situation as some form of drug trafficking. Him having weed in system doesn't help the situation.

Remember its never one thing its the totality of it all. Just a few things to think about.. All the best to you two. God bless you both.

[SWEETEPIPHANY67 9]

Sweetpiphany, Go to your man. Don't allow anything or anyone to stand in between you too..if you can't marry him here, marry him there!!! God Bless, Sweety!

My flight is booked. I will be there on Thursday. I love him and I wont give up on him. I will stand beside him all the way. Thank you for this encouragement...MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS TENFOLD.

I know what it looks like and I do think that I made a lot of bad choices in my presentation. So I will do better next time around. I work closely with law enforcement. I have done so for 12 almost 13 years. I am in and out of the jails on a daily basis. I am definitely not carrying drugs for anyone... But I do understand and I thank you. Miracles, love and blessings to you and yours.

1. All of the pictures included family with us but mainly his family and my cousin because she has visited.

2. I have met his family. I have stayed with them. His children call me their 2nd mom. I am even friendly with their mom.

3. I didnt have any affidavits from family as I didnt know that I needed them.

4. He is a construction supervisor. He was working in Barbados but the job recently ended. He never asked me for anything more than what I offered.

5. I had no letter of intent. Only the letters that I have written him, emails and yahoo messages.

6. He told them how we met.

better luck next time. its really hard to know you waited so long to be with some one and @ the end, thats the result. all the best going forward and we are sorry to hear that he was denied

[SWEETEPIPHANY67 9]

I am so sorry. And a one year ban is RIDICULOUS! So ironic because the drugs of choice by some citizens is waaaaay worse than marijuana! Dont give up and stay strong, where theres a will theres a way!!

Thank you and GOD bless and keep you and yours. Miracles, love and blessings.

[SWEETEPIPHANY67 9]

I remember you asked about smoking 'weed' a few weeks ago and you were told that if it is detected in his system from the medical he would receive the one year ban.

Although you kinda expected it you will still feel the dissapointment because you care very much for each other.

Since you can visit him often that will have to do for now until you can start the journey again. Good luck for the future you are in my prayers.

I am disappointed...But not enough to give up on the man that I love. I will just continue to visit when possible and we have the phone and internet. Love will prevail. Thank you for the encouragement. GOD bless you and yours.
