hello
My story begins in june of 2002. My boyfriend came to the us for the second time, visting me. When he was asked the normal questions upon entering, my now husband stated that he was here to visit his girlfriend, ask her to marry him, and hopfully relocate here. Big mistake. he and i both were questioned for hours. We were completly honest with the border patrol officer. We didnt think we had anything to hide. We told him our plan. he was going to stay for the whole 3 months the visa waiver allowed him too. If we still were sure we wanted to get married, he was going to look for work and hopefully find an employer who would hire him and get him here. He is a ship mechanic. At that time, after very little research into all things immagration, thats what we thought was the best thing to do. Weeks before he flew in that day, i had even contacted, uscis, which was the ins at that time, and they adviced me that he could come and look for work during that 3 mth period, but told us that he had to go back to england to apply for any type of visa to stay here. So that was our plan. Well. that day he was denied entry. Shortly after that, i went to visit him in England. We decided to marry. So my two children from a previous marriage and i, went to england, and we got married. In feb. 2003. our son was born that november. i came back to the us in the fall of 2004 and filed i 130 and after that the k 3 visa. My problem is this, Its being processed in CA. and it has gone way beyond the date when a decsion should have been made. They are currently working on alien relative cases that were submitting in feb of 2005. mine was submitted in sept 2004. ive called uscis many times, no one knows anything. ive been transfered to specialists and immagration officiers and i never get any answers. just that its being processed. i recently gave birth to our second. I need my husband. whats holding the descion up? anyone have any ideas? is it because he was denied entry at one time? he is of pakistani origin. He was born in london, england. How long does this sort of case really take? and once i get approval. How many other things do i need to file and get approved before i can go and pick my husband up from the airport. Im tired of trying to be in two countries at once, trying to keep our family together as much as possible. Please give me some advice.
