She got married once right before visa expired came back and was married for 5 years when she was married she petitioned for a green card but missed the interveiw then got a devorce my point is shes a very succesful person in acience and the arts.

I don't think she will get asylum.

[Penguin_ie 5,994]

She will not get asylum, and being denied for that on top of everything else and then getting married and filing a I-130 is going to look super suspicious.

- When did she get divorced?

- When did you start your relationship?

- Why did you not marry earlier (or is she not even divorced yet), and when do you plan to get married?

- Are you a US citizen?

Anti-Semitic attacks in France consist mostly of neo-nazi or anti-Israel punks defacing synagogues with swastikas or arson. This is not the pogroms!! It is not grounds for asylum nor SHOULD it be. Honestly this whole post is ridiculous and makes zero sense. If you aren't trolling and really do have a fiancee in this situation my advice if she doesn't want to go back to France she should go to Israel where they love frivolous asylum claims as long as it's being made by an Ashkenazi.

Seeking asylum from France was probably dumbest thing she could have done. She is likely going to be denied, deported and facetime lifetime ban for frivolous asylum filing.

How does the post quoted show success in art/science? What does this have to do with legally becoming a resident in the US? Do you think ICE only deports average Joes?

Asylum from France due to fear from a few Semitic killings?

Sir put down the kush and step away from the computer for a while. Then come again with a bit more rational thinking.

Your point doesn't triumph USCIS' point of view. Wealthy people get denied too, if they did not respect the US immigration laws. Not judging your fiancee, just stating a fact.

If she's in removal procedings and you wish to get married after that, she's already on the radar and getting married may seem suspecious - as a desperate attempt of staying in the US, or marriage for immigration benefits only. Much worse than her situation right now.

Missing the interview means AOS was denied and she was out of status and basically deportable. So if she stayed in the US after AOS was denied, she has an overstay. When was her AOS denied and when did she leave the country? If you don't have those details, I'd suggest you dig them up. If not for us, then for your future attourney.

Travel to her country, get married and go the CR1 route. If she overstayed her visa, she'll need a waiver. By the sound of it, she might need one anyways. Before you do, you might want to atleast have a little chat with an immigration lawyer so he/she can sort out the odds and ends. Google AILA and your city and see what pops up.

Some mentioned a very valid point - It's hard to claim asylum when she can settle down in just about any European country. She's walking on thin ice, please don't make it worse. AILA - google - call - go-go.

Please replace your lawyer because how he/she even consider asylum for a french citizen? On what grounds. First of all any good lawyer should try to secure her release and as long as she doesn't have any serious criminal records, getting a release for her shouldn't be difficult

Man,I cannot really catch your train of thought...

By the way, it is 'trend' of thought...If we want to be technical and nitpick.

Not everyone speaks or writes english as a first language. So you try to make the best sense out of any post or ask for further explanation while trying to provide the best advice possible based on your experience, judgement and knowledge.

It will not be frivolous because I did research on it already and France has human rights violations recently look up human rights watch its about 50 pages we asked to get married before we filed for asylum we already wanted to get married in January we had no choice but to go the asylum route because they issued a deportation order and.are taking their time for letting us marrytbecausr of his stupid visa waiver its the only thing we can do and she knows the risks but she has no criminal history and we wanted to get married and are ready to get affidavits supporting this fact.

Oh dear.

She has some Jew friendly options: Denmark, UK, Israel, etc. So, if she is so afraid to go back to France, why not any of those places?

Exactly. I have a strange feeling that this is not going to go well on so many fronts.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

asylum? What kind of grounds will she use to get approval?

France. They may surrender at any time!

Seriously, that was an expensive vacation. She was not legitmately eligible to apply for AOS in the first place though she may have pulled it off if she had gone to the appointment. She will receive a lifetime ban and will not be able to claim asylum...it's FRANCE!

She will likely receive a lifetime ban for any visas. Not sure if she could get a waiver. How would you like to live in France?
