I've been dating a guy who lives in Jamaica. He wants me to move to Jamaica and I want him to move to America, however, he's willing to come to America since I don't really want to leave. I can't decide which approach to take and need your advise. 1) Ideally I'd like for him to come here as a to come to America to see if he'd like living here before we go ahead with marriage. If he wouldn't be happy here it would take me quite a few years to get my obligations in order before moving to Jamaica, including getting through law school. But more importantly, I understand this is the hardest visa to get because you basically have to prove that you will go back to Jamaica. 2) I could file for him as my fiance and then marry him in 3 months when he gets to America. This is an expensive visa. I don't know how long this one takes though and while he's under investigation for this visa it's not like he can come to the states on a tourist visa, he just has to wait. 3) I could marry him in Jamaica and try to get him to the states. I think this is the most expensive, possibly the most reliable but if it is denied then he's probably not going to be able to get a tourist visa. I can't figure out what to do. HELP!

By Amarilis Holmes @ USA, Teaneck  Hamarilis@optonline.net Tuesday, November 17, 2009   Jamaican husband denied renewal of VISA recently my Jamaican husband went to renew his VISA, he's never had any problems, ever been in any trouble with the law, has always had a good job etc. Upon filling out the paper work,one of the questions asked was "had any of his information changed" he answered yes, and that he had gotten married on his last visit to the U.S. The woman then asked if he was planning on living with his new wife, he said "well yes eventually" so she said ok, then Im going to deny your renewal, you may go for a visit and never come back.. How is this legal or fair? So, now he's not allowed to ever visit me or his other family in the U.S.? He's been traveling here for 10 yrs. It just seems to me as though the woman at the American Consolate in Jamaica, made a decision based on her personal opinion not on a legal one. She said now the only way he can see me, is after I file all the petition papers to have him brought here permanantly, but we dont even know for sure if he's moving here or if Im going to move to Jamaica for a while. So why should we be kept apart, doesnt make since to me, your advice please??

By Rosa Depaz @ United States, North Carolina  ali_sexi@hotmail.com Wednesday, September 9, 2009   sticky situation hi guys, i just needed a quick advice on a family members immigration situation. He is a 20 yr old male residing in florida and came from Jamaica, he came over on a work program, ran-off, and eventually ended up overstaying his time. he did not want to return to jamaica, because he was informed he would have a hard time traveling to the states again. In turn he was made an offer by another jamaican woman/ now us- citizen ( nearly 30 years older than him) who tricked him into a "no-stirngs attached marriage" meaning she didn't want sex, money or anything from him just friendship. ( foolish as it seems) after marraige however he was blackmailed into sleeping with her among other tormentries. How can he get out of this marraige without jepoardizing his immigration filing and adjustments. Also since they've onlty been married 5 months, can he get it annulled? or should he go towards a divorce? please help mi to help him out of this sticky situation. also will it harm his chances if he was to move into a serious relationship with another girl?
