Dear Muna:
This forum is full of people who have filed in 2000 and are still waiting. The good news is, everyone who has filed is expected to be approved very soon, probably in the next 8-10 months. After that, he can file a petition for you to come join him, but that will also take long.

In the mean time, probably the best option for you is to come to the USA on a student visa. But if you do that, you must maintain your student status by staying in school; otherwise you will create major immigration problems for the future. DO NOT even consider coming here on a visitor's visa and overstaying because that will also be very bad.

I wish you good luck.

I would recommend against lying on the visa form. Also note that telling them you have an asylee husband in the USA will make getting a visa near-impossible.

Were you already married when your husband got asylum in the USA? If so, he can file I-730.
http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-730.htm
http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/derref.htm

It will take about 3 years (may be shorter now).

I dont know what else to tell you--except to say that I wish you good luck. If there is any other question, please feel free to ask. There are many knowledgeable and helpful people on this forum who might be able to provide information.

HI, Muna,
I am wondering why your husband has to wait his approval of I485. Is his status based on asylee, family or employment. If based on asylee, why don't he sponser you through the refugee program, which he is elligible........

An other point even if your husband's I485 is approved, getting visa on greencard based petitions are time consuming and a long wait..........

Muna, I work with a refugee sponsering organization in USA, and the refugee process is quite straighford. I think if your husband is on asylee status and lives in USA He is aware of that.

To answer your question, the refugee program is not open to Kenyans living in Kenya and Kenya does not include the countries that are elligible. Somalia is eligible. If you are somali and your husband is in asylee status in USA He can sponser you.

If you provide me with your private e-mail, I may be able to explain to you in detail the different ways he can sponser you.
This year particularly the refugee progam is open. the duration it takes varies. one to four years................Good lucky Muna. i wish you unite with your husband......
 
Muna, does your husband know how to read? If he is not aware of the procedures to get you here then you could point him to this website and www.uscis.gov. I believe he is aware of the process because you mentioned he has come to visit you in Kenya twice. He should be a man enough to start struggling to gather patent information to help you get here. The picture does'nt look good. :mad: :confused: :eek:

it used to take up to 7 months to get RTD.now it only takes about 40 days.i have been following your posting,all i can tell you is that if your husband is asylee and you were not married before he optained asylum,you have to wait untill he gets GC,then file petition for you.that can take up to 5 years.nothing he could to bring you here,unless you want to bypass the process by seeking a visitor's visa which is not easy.there are many asylee in the same situition.trust your husband and be paitent.

Muna,
I Know what you are going through. I was once separated from my wife. I can't imagine the pain and agony I went through.
Getting travel document easy, but the money and visa to Nairobi are hard. I went to Nairobi In 2003 and I spent a lot of money.

Now, if you were not married at the time your husband was granted he can not sponser you, but if he travelled back after grant of asylum and you married and made the paper work in Nairobi, He can sponser you...........
definitely, there are more to your husband's case. I doubt that your husband was given asylum status in 1999, and he does not know how to sponser you...
Any way I don't have time to day to e-mail you, but I will email you tomorrow. Also the city where I live It is easy to get student visa if you have high school certificate from Kenya, and some money you can support yourself. It used be free but these days colleges require $2500 from students coming from somalia and Kenya. Any ways keep the hope and you will come here and enjoy with your husband...
