Just a question, does the AWA come into play when the couple are married and filing for a CR1? Can you get married and proceed that way? I am just trying to offer suggestions

 

Yes it does.

 

Here is a case where they had success with a spouse visa. It took a long time but they got there:

I get that but if the USA is not going to approve the petition you need a back-up plan or two.

Okay, I was not sure, I was just trying to offer a suggestion to help the OP.

we wanted to get married, also planned a wedding date, but before the wedding date, the lawyer informed us that our case falls AWA, so he said he cannot take the case and introduced us to other lawyers, everything we have to start over again, we are very frustrated and helpless, my fiance(bf) even blamed himself a lot, and we are very painful just by thinking not being with each other...

As far as I know it's fairly to extremely difficult to receive an AWA waiver but you really need a good attorney who is specialized in cases that fall under the Adam Walsh Act. The USC has to proof he is not a risk to you. 

we are worried because the lawyer said there is 99% will get denied, this almost makes us lose all faith..

Yes AWA applies for married couples filing for a spousal visa.

 

Otherwise what would be the point of the law?  All would simply get married and bypass the Act all together.

 

Good luck to all. 

we are not married yet, we dont dare to married by this situation.. scared us a lot.  still thinking what we should do..

Like JFH already mentioned it too; you might just want to start planning Plan B. If you want to be together, and it can't be in the US, your fiance needs to make his sacrifice in the relationship and move somewhere outside the US with you. 

[Unlockable 7,314]

Agreed with others on having a back up plan.

 

You can still be together. It just will not likely be in the US. Many people have left the US to be with their loved ones.

Another vote for Plan B.

i know its very difficult now by reading a lot of articles,  we dont know what to do for now, we are very painful everytime think of our lives cannot be together because of the law, we don't want to break up and we dont know what to do..

It's not really just because of the law, though is it. It's also because of the crime he committed. The law is there to protect people, such as yourself. 

I would think if you are still intent on pursuing this relationship, he'd better be the one to immigrate, if that's possible.

he cannot leave America because he still need to be checked once a year by the police, at least still have 5 years to be checked.

he confressed his crime to me when he made sure he wanted to marry me, so i knew his crime, i still want to marry him because that the crime was over 20 years ago, and he already very very regret what he did (and the crime is acceptable for me), living together almost 6 months in the USA, we are very happy everyday,  what i know he now is a sincere and very responsable man, i am a better person when i am with him, i learn so much all here, because of him,  i have no any children, and he had the surgery cannot have more children either,  we dont want to adopt any children as well,  he took good care of me, i met all his family members many times already, he himself didnt know that the crime he committed 20 years ago would affect the now situation,

Is he out on parole or supervised release? Or is that a mechanism of oversight? He could consult a lawyer about whether he can move, but it will depend on his situation. 

 

Also, for AWA waiver, he needs to start going to therapy.

That is because 99% of the cases get denied. It is probably like 99.9%

Moving elsewhere may not really be an option either, as part of AWA requires RSO's to report international travel 21 days beforehand. ICE then informs the destination country of the travel plans, then the destination country may refuse entry.

The thing to check is if he would be eligible to move to your country.
