Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I read most of the daily emails and I don't respond much but my thoughts and prayers are often with all of you. I am in a state of frustration/exhaustion/confusion. I married a man from Lebanon last March and have been struggling through the immigration process in the United States since that time. We have not seen eachother since our wedding day last March because things got delayed with the marriage and we ended up having our ceremony the day I was scheduled to come back to the US. We finally got through all the paperwork required for his greencard after delays from United States immigration and US National Visa Center. It seems no matter how hard we tried to get things right, the beauracratic 'red tape' always got in our way. Our case was forwarded to the US Embassy in Beirut and my husband had his interview today. His visa was denied We are going to fight for our love and right to be together. One of the reasons that was brought up in the interview at the embassy was that I am 11 years older than him. Does true love really need to have an age attached to it? I found that odd!! Another comment made was that it typically takes 2 years for spouses to be able to see eachother again.. it hasn't been long enough. I have crossed every 't' and dotted every 'i' in processing everything through this process. I understand that the government is looking out for the safety for its citizens, but I also wonder if the fact that my husband is middle eastern that is contributing to our delay. I expected to wake this morning and find that my husband has been granted his visa and found that 'once again, we have encountered a barrier in our quest to be together again. Now, I am told that I should probably fly to Lebanon the next time he gets an appointment, which I have no problem with except for the financial problems we have both been having. My friends, I ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Discrimination should never happen. All people should be treated equal regardless of age, race, ethnicities, culture, sexuality, religion, etc. Our situation is one example about how closed minded others can be in accepting that which they don't know... many blessings all..
