This is exactly what I was looking to hear. Wasn’t looking for a yes/ no   Like i repeated several time was I wanted to know if this is something someone has ever overcame successfully or is it something that’s a for sure disqualification. You have finally shed some light in the actual problem at hand thank you. 

i did say in earlier post my case was sent back to USA for a NOID -notice of intent to deny

reason- big age difference

 

i appealed and won

married over 12 years and he's a citizen

 

overcoming any obsticle immigration can throw at u is a matter of knowing things that can help like the 601 waiver

how to fight a NOIR or NOID

all 3 of the above have to have REAL and VALID documentation to prove your case is just 

CO said my husband did not know what books i read (stupid) but i produced a dated text message showing i was researching and reading online to help my mom as was writing a book

 

CO wants proofs not statements 

our government likes a paper trail of evidence for any visa 

 

Best to u both

allah yessir

Thank you so much for handling this. It was causing me much more stress on an already very stressful situation. I just lost a baby I do not need more stress. My body cannot handle it. I appreciate you stepping in.

I mean if he's asked about violating immigration laws in other countries, ever claimed asylum, or overstaying in other countries (that can include "have you EVER overstayed a visa" or "have you EVER violated immigration laws"), he'd need to declare the what happened, where and all that jazz. But in terms of his ability to get a CR-1...no, I shouldn't think so. Oh, he'll also need the police cert from ROK and to explain any criminality there, but I'd doubt an immigration violation would be consider a CIMT that'd require a waiver. Although the prior asylum situation could cause questions over the validity of the relationship, there's no hard prevention of him being able to get a visa. Just be sure you have plenty of evidence to back up the marriage and be truthful!

What is ROK? We have 8 years of messages pictures video calls and so on. We split up due to the distance and lack of money to be able to buy tickets for me to see him. Its been a rough road. But we love each other I think we can prove that part. He went to korea when we were not together. Will that still make them suspicious you think? It’s been very hard on us but we both keep going back to one another now we finally had enough money to spend real time together and things are going very well. So I hope they can take into consideration that I was not financially able to maintain our relationship consistently for the entire 8 years. Had I been able to fly out here more consistently we wouldn’t have had these break ups. It’s very hard loving someone and trusting someone you cannot see for YEARS at a time  🥺💔

ROK = Republic of Korea

 

And I believe that Dept of State/Dept Homeland Security understand that every relationship is unique, that sometimes they go through rocky periods and that the distance is a stressor for a relationship. Extensive history going back 8 years definitely helps back up your case. I'd focus on presenting your case with evidence that covers across that 8 year period. You don't need to highlight the periods of breakups in your evidence, you need to provide evidence that *supports* your relationship, not evidence that undermines your case.

Hi I have been with my Moroccan husband for 8 years on and off. The on and off has been due to the distance and our lack of income. Now we are finally married and determined to make things work. In one of our off seasons he went to South Korea on an asylum type situation (for a lack of better words). And since the dates is Korea are similar to the US (mm/de/yyyy) he thought his visa expired at a later time because in Morocco their dates are (dd/mm/yyyy) so he was jailed for 3 months for this. Will this cause them to deny our CR-1? 

Asylum from Morocco?   And now back in Morocco?   Hmmm.

There’s a different way of helping in my mind. Trying to tell me he’s lying and that he knew he was there illegally isn’t helping me at ALL. Does that make sense? He didn’t know I know my husband VERY WELL he does not like legal problems. He will not move the car with my seatbelt on he is very much a person who likes to avoid trouble with the law. He would not have intentionally stayed PERIOD. I HOPE EVERYONE GETS THAT! Now if you wanted to explain kindly that in the interview this may be their approach that’s very much different than what has been done in this thread. I need support not whatever we call this 

If you think people in this thread are nitpicking or focusing on things you feel are irrelevant, get ready for a rollercoaster ride when you get to the Casablanca interview.   

And as for whether he was arrested or a crime occurred,  that will be determined from the police record he submits a year or two down the road.

He had no choice they didn’t approve him to stay… apparently they don’t really approve that in Korea

Right, I get that.   It’s just strange that someone would return to a country they seek asylum from.

I understand that I am not here to prepare for the interview at this time. Does my question sound as though I’m asking for a mock interview?!????

He did try to go to Colombia after I mean. Where else can you go if there are no options 🤣 lmfaoooo really?!
