Answer 1

God can handle this. I am sorry for your experience. I understand how you feel. People here can have issues. This country has a long history of racism. This country also has a long history of overcoming racism. Be patient. Pray to God for his help now. He will do the rest.

1) Ask Jesus to come into your heart.

2) Believe he died on the cross for your sins (he can help you with that one)

3) Get a bible and read and pray.

You will be safe. God can also give you the peace you need to get through this situation.

Answer 3

I am not sure how long you both have been married as this seems to be the main issue for the INS.

Going to these interviews you have to go prepared. Even to the extent that your application could be thrown out.

You need to make the immigration official aware that your previous marriages have nothing to do with your application and that you should not be harassed on this issue. Be firm with them and they will back off. Then you of course have to prove to the INS that you do have a legitimate marriage. Show joint pictures of holidays and birthdays. Take along with you joint bills and bank account statements. Even letters of recommendation from business owners, friends, pastors from church etc etc. The more documentation that you literally throw at them the more you prove your case.

My experience is that the INS is there to harass, intimidate and humiliate each applicant. So be on your toes.

Answer 4

I am American and extremely embarrassed by our immigration department.  I had the same experience when I went with my (ex) husband. I felt like we were terrorists.  They separated us and questioned us individually and MADE UP LIES saying '"wife said this" OR "husband said this" when in fact neither of us said such a thing -and we know other couples that had similar problems - and some better.  A russian couple we knew was questioned about colors or styles of  toothbrushes and really small insignificant things that I probably couldn't even answer about my kids.  Ya - they are notoriously horrible - and Americans who haven't experienced immigration in person - beyond the paperwork - shouldn't even be commenting here.  THEN much later on...they screwed up the dates on his paperwork (put down dates that were physically impossible) and he had to pay to change the paperwork even though it was their fault!!!  You need to keep every speck of paperwork in order and notice everything about your partner.  My ex got his green card. I think it took three years - can't remember though... (we divorced for other reasons - I became disabled, so much for in sickness and health...) Anyhow, you are not alone - don't let them get you feeling down or lower your self-confidence or anything.  There are a LOT of idiots out there.  the terrorists are probably the ones floating in without interrogation.  Just keep telling yourself it won't last forever and it'll be over eventually! Good luck to you! Keep your head up!

P.S I read "editme2" post after submitting this..he's right on when he mentions the whole paperwork thing...Save EVERYTHING that has to do with both names, communication as a "couple"  (even party invitations) save photographs of the two of you out as a couple - dinners, parties, family birthday parties, Christmas, thanksgiving..get PROOF of being a couple that interacts with others as a couple....that's very very important..set up a bank account in both your names if you can (even if you don't use it). Utilities, whatever you can get get in BOTH your names.

Answer 5

Immigration is notoriously inefficient and socially backwards...

Don't worry too much about it.

I have a similar problem in that my citizenship has been delayed for 9 years, and still being "processed."

The only advise I can give is just to wait it out, and what happens happens... You really have little control in this matter, so don't get too frustrated.

Also, you should consult a lawyer if you have major questions/ issues.

Also, the person in the first comment should just **** off; racist piece of ****. (Edit: the first comment was deleted.)

Hun we don't just let anyone in OUR country, I have never had to deal with immigration, but I'm sure they are doing what they are supposed to do.
