  1. 1. if you had the chance to go wait it out with your fiance in his/her country for AP to finish, would you go?

    • Yes! If I had nothing holding me here in the US I'd book it right now!
      32
    • No, they could get the visa at any moment.

what do you think? i'm seriously considering going ASAP to go wait with him. do you think it would be stupid to go when he could get the visa at any moment? would you risk it if you had nothing to lose (other than the cost of the plane ticket)

NOT a question -- GO!! I just discussed this with my husband last night and right now I cant (not enough vacation time left!!!)

If I did -- I would so be there...and who knows the good news may come in while you are there!

At least.. you could be together to get each other through some of this!!

Good Luck,

Malarie

Why are you still here????? I would totally go do it. If it's 1 week or 1 month I would. Not to mention, it will make his flight coming to the USA alot more relaxed with you right by his side.

I would have stayed over there with him for the whole visa process if I could have, but we didn't have a cosponsor, so I needed to have a job for the affidavit of support.

I think you should go. Will you be able to get a job quick when you get back so that you're all set for AOS and the I-864?

If I didn't make the money that I do at my job, I would have definitely spent the time with Hicham. Especially with our son, I would have liked for some of those "first moments" of our son's beginning life to have been with Hicham. But I have a really, really good job and that's something that we couldn't sacrifice with our position right now.

If you don't have to worry about school or a job, then GO! I'm sure that your family would miss you, but on the other hand, it would really allow you to get to know him and talk more about your future together.

It's a big decision that only you can make. Good luck girlie!

i do not have a co-sponsor but i am pretty confident i can get ANY job when we get back pretty quickly. i'm confused about the requirements though. i know the poverty level, etc...but do i have to show a steady job period for x amount of time? or just on my taxes that i've made over such amount? cuz for this year i've already made well above the poverty level (before my job ended last month) even though i am without a job now.

help!

I would go if I were you. Even though he may get his visa at any moment think how great it would be to fly back to the States with him this time. :)
