Spousal Visa

[Missthanger 22]

It’s not my choice . The trip was canceled rather I wanted to do it or not . Second , if I didn’t go and they let me go . I lose the ticket money . I would had to go they canceled it for March 19 and stop public gather yesterday . How is this my fault ? It’s not 

[Missthanger 22]

I’m not doing that . If you come up negative you are to stay there for 14 days . If you somehow come up positive you can’t leave Gambia . I’m not risking get stuck but my trip was cancel regardless and money refunded . 

[Missthanger 22]

I just book a trip 3 to 6 month from now long as I get there by Dec . It’s all good .

Think about it though, would you really marry someone you have NEVER met? Beneficiaries from some countries are already under extra scrutiny, even if it was possible, I would never recommend getting married without meeting first.  Not to my brother, not to my best friend.  

 

The pandemic will end one day, travel restrictions will ease.  

 

Best of luck.

. We are to different people it’s been a year so yea we married . We video chatted and all . I don’t know what you will find out in 8 days of a visit here and there. I love my husband knew that the first day we meet . We tried to meet . If they cancel it last year and this year . We aren’t going wait no more nor pay 300 usd . That why you are you and I’m me . Different strokes for different folks

I got the answer I needed . Thanks for all the comments but they people giving me advice about my marriage can go elsewhere with that . Not here for that . I got my answer you have to meet doesn’t matter if they canceled my trip twice . Got it.

We had to wedding dates Nov 7, 2020 and March 21 , 2021 . Both flight were canceled so we suppose wait another year just to meet lol . I don’t think so we chat and video everyday for a year . We are good thanks for the advice but I don’t need it . We made the right choose for us . Which was to marry by proxy .

Immigration Only

 

You need to meet to file, does not have to be in his country

 

To obtain an immigrant visa you need to show a valid relationship, having married before meeting starts you off with a negative a lot of time spent together will help.

[Missthanger 22]

No , it won’t  start of negative . I have two trips canceled for our wedding . So we married because we couldn’t in person due to corona . How is that negative ? We will just show our tickets and wedding planning and it should be no problem . People , you have so much time to go back and forth to spend time . A girl went 3 short visit and got her husband . You are not a employee of immigration. You a regular person with a opinion. I got my answer and don’t need no more .

Marrying the first time a couple meet is often seen as a red flag.

 

Marrying without meeting first might not be seen as rational behaviour - make sure you spend plenty of time together, when feasible and possible.

We never meet people . We set two wedding dates which fell through . So we married proxy . I don’t see this being a problem . We have to tickets and the cancellation and the refund for both time . Not only that, I got a letter from the pastor who married us that he heard my husband agree to the marriage . Not sure , when the marriage was her in the United States through a time with travel restrictions. I don’t see this being a problem . We married a year after we meet . I think if you married as soon as you meet via proxy but we waited almost a year . We will it’s just I want to start the process . You can  easily go there and visit within the 8 to 12 months it takes . We know we have to spend time but it’s the waiting we were trying to avoid

While you don't see a problem, those of us with years of immigration experience do see one.  

The fact that you married without having met and the lack of time spent together are giant red flags for US immigration.   

Furthermore, you can't start the immigration process until you meet.  

Just telling you the truth of how the system works.

Best of luck.

IEverything is documented . We have phone bills , chat logs , letters from family and friends , ticket information , marriage absentee paperwork approved by a court . The only thing we need to do is meet to make it valid it’s on the website . I read this long ago as I said we don’t think we should be punished due to travel restrictions . He in the army to is why they let us do but that was court approved and sign don’t see how it can be denied . I don’t see a problem . Corona stop us from meeting so we married proxy .

You will have plenty of time to show time together.
