Hello everyone!
First I would ask you to excuse me for my English uncertain because, I speak your language very badly and I am forced to translate my text by Google translation.
My husband is American Citizen, lived in France since 1977 after trying to return to his country in 1983 with his first wife, he returned to France in 1986 because his former wife could not get used to life to USA.
Today he wants to return to the United States because he says the time has come for him to return home after a long absence because he misses his country more and more, which I fully understand. Of course, he wants me to come with him because I'm his wife and that I would be delighted to live in this great and wonderful country that I have seen several times. We have therefore introduced in the U.S. Embassy in Paris on Form I-130 and other papers that we had a complete on-site and the submission of documents such as birth certificates for me, our paper divorces for both of us, our marriage, his U.S. passport and Social Security number and then we paid the sum of $ 355 as requested. We waited and we are called is a man told us that he supported the immigration application and that we would receive papers with us. It's done I received my Case Number 10/21/2008 with the list of missing documents we produce for the continuation of the process (police certificate, photo and affidavit of support I-864).
This is where we find a problem, because after downloading on the site of the USCIS my husband saw that it was essential to an address in the United States to file the application for immigration to me Outside is impossible because he lives in France since 1986, his parents died and his brother, he can not ask them for help and, not knowing or is his uncles, aunts and cousins because it sees more since 1986, plus it can not does not ask for help when he has more contact with them, which is quite understandable. He does not understand that after more than 30 years of absence, he was asked to prove an address in his country because there is more. In addition, he also read that he is doing to sponsor me to support my needs but why should he works in the United States because it assumes that its wages in France of a amount of $ 3200 per month, will not be selected for the affidavit of support I-864. He did not know how because he does not want to go alone, I have no income because my unemployment came to an end and I did not find employment especially at this time the crisis is even worse than before as it is out of question to apply for welfare for me if France were to go alone because this is not very well appreciated by the Immigration Service that Future immigrants have applied for welfare in their countries of origin. What should we do? It is really an impasse, he will not leave me alone because I have no income and no family may receive me while waiting to recover from the USA.
But if it does not the first to find an address and employer we are stuck in one way or another and it is very bad, even saying that his country poses difficulties to go home with his wife.
We cannot take into account the money we have for our respective divorces have cost us dearly, and the little money we have, we wanted to keep our future installation in the United States. A lawyer we asked the sum of $ 4,000 to help us, we know that the lawyers are not free but we find that the person asking us all a lot.
Not knowing really what to do, my husband has even considered that we all leave the United States as if we were going on holiday and I did not resume in France. But I must confess that I still very scared to go this way because there is the risk that the immigration officer at the airport be aware that we have filed an application for immigration me, and I refuse to enter the American soil. Because for them it will be a visa fraud and, I might not be able to come back for several years.
There is the Visa K3, but to make the request must be in the United States and from what I read, it is longer than the DCF but also more expensive.
We talked about the advance parole so that I can go to the United States while my immigration is under way; can you tell us more about this?
We no longer know how, one wonders if we really have a chance to find a solution to our problem, we do not know what to think or what to do with such a situation.
We do not know if you can help us but we hope in that there is at least one person who answers to our questions and advise us so that we help my husband and me from the USA without being forced to do so illegally.
Thank you in advance for all your answers!
Good day to all
