What sucks about this process

[JoelyLeidy 3]

After going through all of this work, and taking three trips, totaling about 30 days in Colombia, talk everyday on Skpe, and somebody else gets to decide if you are in love and a committed relationship

I know it sucks. Because we all believe that we shouldn't have to prove ourselves.

But I agree with the process.

There are too many couples that lie, rush into it, are fraudulent, and just plain right shouldn't do it.

This weeds out A LOT of those couples.

So I'm all down for the hard work. Because once It's over, I'm with the love of my life forever. And that's worth every painful, hard, and breath taking step.

Edit- After reading tour time line. You've only send off the petition two months ago.

So you've not actually gone through "all this work" yet.

Just take a step back and breath, because you've got a way to go yet.

It is not your fault at all, really. Blame to those people who have committed fraud or scam marriage as an easier way go to the US. The more people do that, the more difficult it is. Ironically that when the US government is very strict about the rule there is a time when others slipped into the country and then why Ebola is in now and scared all Americans and others including me as an immigrant.

I absolutely detest when other people use the expression "if you don't have anything to hide, then you have nothing to worry about" for other things in life, but in the case of immigration (at least the K-1) I've found that it's applicable. Be honest, go through the process, and barring any strange or unusual circumstances, you will be approved. USCIS and the Department of State are not "out to get" you or your fiancee.

It's surprising given all the waiting and the hoops you have to jump through how many people post that they have been scammed in the major changes thread on here. I do agree with you that it's necessary though, just wish it was faster!

I don't think it is necessary because besides AWA cases, it seems like anyone who refiles after a denial gets approved. The real gatekeeper is the American citizen and their common sense or lack there of.

Agreed.

IMO, they're not really deciding if you're "in love", rather they're making a determination if you fulfill the requirements to obtain the appropriate visa ultimately allowing you to be with the one you love in a committed relationship.

Good luck on your journey. Persevere.

I guess it shows us actually how deceptive people can be.

Lately there's just so many posts about scams and fraud and that one person who kicked her husband and his mother out of their own home! Especially when she came here after he canceled his side.

That was just so much to read.

I guess that They can only stop so many from what they see, people slip through the cracks and luckily those of us who are genuine get through too.
