Hi Nas,your Problem Is Just Like Mine,where Is Wife Country?
Dear Muna:
habari gani,
my wife is studying african language at her school. she is from Iran and we have been married for 1 year and a half, and I dont have any clear veiw from future.
From you other Thread which you asked for Student Visa, I have to say, that was the first thing that we did, I got her I-20 from one of the US's schools and then we made an appointment and in her interview, embassador told her that since her husband(me) resides in the United States, she can not apply for any non-immigrant visa. Because the first requierment for Non-immigrant visa is to proove that you will back to your home country after you are done. but since you have your closest family member which is your husband in the US, they wont give you any non-immigrant visas like Student Visa, Tourist VIsa and etc.
For Refugee part of the question.
I dont know what country is your husband from, but the most of the refugees in the unitd States are from Africa. So it is very hard to get refugee status over there, but if you have a big problem, really hard situation, either you can claim your problem to UNHCR ( United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) or United States embassy located in Kenya. You have to have a lot of support documents to proove that you are eligible for status. you have to find that part by researching, becasue I dont know anything about their rules, but usually you have to move to another country and say I had probelm in my country, so it will be really hard.
I have tried that one for my wife, poor lady was in turkey for 1 year and never got any answer back, because of the huge amount of people applying for refugee. and at the end she went back home eventhough she has probelm but her probelms in turkey was alot more that Iran right now so I dont really recommand that.
And then, we get to other ways that you can get here, good one right now is Canada, if you are eligibale, if not you should try to make yourself eligible becasue it is worthed because who knows what will be happen in the united states in the future. You may be able to get work visa which is really hard to get right now because of the limited number of visa per year ( for United States) but still you can search for that as well.
In my situation is a little bit easier from my point of view, because I am eligible for Citizeship in two years and I think worse come to worse we will stay little longer, but you should do something for your life, becasue it wont get straight-up if you dont do anything for it.
Please tell me if I can help. and feel free to ask any questions.
Regards,
Nas
