Hello my fellow comrads,

I have taken a few days to digest a bit of a sour moment in my visa journey. As you all know from what I shared earlier on the forum, I had an appointment scheduled  Jan 4th with the local immigration office where I live. It didn’t go well for me to say the least but they were very helpful and shed some light into my case (this is the good part) they do share information above the level of a tier 1, (thank god for that 🙄 I think 🤔) although the information shared has brought a huge wedge to my relationship with my fiancé right now and I’m not sure if I can pull myself out of this one.

I sincerely thought about contacting a few of you via private message because I’m really heartbroken and feel like I can’t find a way out if this. I am in need of prayer or just good energy sent my way because I don’t know what to do right now. 

You have my prayers and good energy.

😳, dang I guess this site is no longer for me!! Once someone starts with there opinions about There not being a God and dissing those who do... It’s my time to leave... I didn’t truly believe in God... Till I was  destroyed, everything I worked for taken from me... Wife of 10 years left me for another in her nursing program, lost my Job... Yea, I was alone in the middle of the road at 3 am... I screamed to the heavens why! I said God see my tears, hear my cry’s and look at my heart see the pain I’m in... Then I went to a church few hrs later a church  I never went to before... I had not gone to a church in a long time... The first thing the pastor says is... God came to me last night, he says to give one of y’all a message... He says someone is hurt, hurt so bad they have been crying.... He says he has seen your tears, have heard your cry’s and has seen your heart... And everything is going to be all right... So yea something I said alone in the middle of the night repeated back to me, I was crying my eyes out.. So after that day... Nothihg but miracles has happen to me, answered prayers that can not be explained... Now I’m getting married to a girl who I love, who I met online of all place... Which I though I would never do, even my family thought I was crazy, I’m young, educated, and not ugly lol why did I need to go online... Well out of all that disaster, there was one thing I longed for... That believe was placed in my heart... Was to feed the people... And that’s exactly what I’m doing, with my fiancé . Now there are more than 100 kids added to the children’s ministry... Lives are changing... Its wonderful to see how such beauty can come out of disaster... So yes I believe God allows things for a reason... But people are at fault to... They have to listen... And before you say if there is a God why doesn’t he do this or that or allow this... It’s the same with everything, when your sick you go to the Dr, he give you medication... Same with God you have to go to him, read and follow the directions that simple... If a medication say you cant drink because it will effect the drug... Same with the Bible, says not to do things because it will effect your spiritual  life... Well hope y’all have a good life and be blessed... 

Please don’t take it personal. We are all going thorough many difficult emotions right now and even the best of us are capable of making a comment that can be interpreted in a negative way even if it is not intended as such. We need everyone who is here because this is the only way we can relate to the one thing we all have in common dispite of our personal religious or political views. We are all in love with someone who is not with us and we are trying our hardest to be with them regardless of what we have to go through. Our lives have been whatever they might have been and they brought us to various believes. That’s just it. We find comfort in whatever we can to make our pain less painful. I’m sorry for your disappointment but don’t leave us in account of of that.

Well, they told me my fiancé was deported from USA many years ago. Information my fiancé “forgot” to share with me. I feel a bit betrayed and I am having a hard time with it. It might have a fix but just the fact he forgot to mention this event from me throws me off track so much that I have considered (less now, than yesterday) ending our relationship. He is a good man and a bit on the naive side. But still I feel betrayed. 

Maybe you should listen to his explanation first. Feel betrayed is common when that kind of situation happen. However, it is great to hear on explanation first. May I know why he was deported from USA?

DISCLAIMER: I'm not working with USCIS/NVC and never work with them. All my comment based on my own experience and what I read.

Oh this is really tough on you. That would have been a big life event and a hard thing to forget easily. I would want to understand the facts of the event first and then I would try to understand why he didn't tell you. I think it would be helpful to have an understanding of all those facts first before making any decisions on your future together. Decisions based on just emotion never end well.

I’m a huge believer of that. But unfortunately a long distance relationship intensifies issues like this. I’m trying my hardest to be objective and less emotional but my emotions betray me and are trying to take the best of me. That’s why I ask for prayers or good energy sent my way. I believe he is a good man and what he did is not a crime ( not in my eyes) I have dealt with immigration unfairness all my life! I have seen it from all ends. I just have a hard time understanding why he “chose” not to share that with me. I’m sorry for venting. I still haven’t told anyone from my family yet.

Aloha fellow June filers!

We got our NOA1 June 27th and are hoping to hear some good news soon. I thought I'd join the party and see how everyone else is doing. Things seem to be moving slowly at USCIS after the New Year don't they (I mean even slower than usual <_< ).

How accurate have you guys found the 'currently processing' dates on this site to be? Well, good luck everyone...

Unfortunately, the estimates are extremely accurate... in the fact that they are completely ambiguous and unpredictable, and so far, that’s the way the situation looks.  The USCIS seems to be doing a good job covering their bases by leaving such a wide window in the “Estimated processing time” that we can’t really do anything about it.

 

But we would love your company lurking here… I think we are really just starting to really act like a real family…or at least the one I’m from😉

Hey you guys.

Keep up the good work!

Based on his explanation:

he was deported 28 yrs ago. He was young and apparently a Canadian immigration attorney posted an ad in Hungary to lure people into paying him $100 for a raffle opportunity to gain a green card into USA. If they were selected they would need to pay $1000. Him and his friend were later contacted by the attorney and were told they had won the “green card” lottery. They went to Canada and got green cards. Got a job in USA and much later on a document check came back and employers questioned the validity of green cards. They were given false documents, which were very popular around that time from what I remember. He tells me they went and reported this to authorities and so on and left the country. When he returned on another visa trip to NY he was returned from the airport back to Hungary.

Dam! that's really tough! I'm sorry to hear this, but I totally agree that the overseas thing really can screw up communication!  personally I believe it’s really a miracle that we can communicate over so many miles and so much culture at all! hang in there! we're pulling for you

It’s not a shame to be deported. I think he felt it was. I come from a family of immigrants some even illegal immigrants I know first hand what it is. I’m not judging him for that though, my issue is the fact he “forgot” to share that difficult situation with me and the effect it would have on our plans.

Did he ever visit you in the US? 

Because as far as I know, once you get deported for over staying you'll be banned for 10 years... but in this case of false documents... I don't know...

 

Just let cool down for few days, don't make decisions with a sad hart...
