Its been three years now and I haven't seen my son.  Each time we talked he always asked me when am I coming to see him.  I'm saving now to pay for my fare to go see him.  I want to surprise him on his birthday last week but because I can't afford my airfare.  I'm crying each night because I don't know where to get the money for my fare to go see him.  Now my electricity been cut off too and rent is due soon.  I rather sleep on the street but to save to go see my son.  I don't want to go on for four years without see him.  Please keep me on your prayers....

I don't know which state you are but theres Federal help of transitional housing program and they should be able to help you with rent, utilities and weekly allowances for food for your and your daughter until you get on your feet.  I'm a member of a Family Support Group in my community and we have families that they're on this program.  Please contact your local Shelter and ask them of this program.  They should be able to help you.  I'm a single mom of three kids and I do understand your frustration.  Good luck to you...

I've been married for seven years to an American Citizen man who turn out to be an abusive but I hang in there because we have kids together and I don't want to lose my kids and don't want to be deported back to my country.  He threat me with immigration at all time we had an arguement.  I fear for my life and the welfare of my children.  In 2004 I have no choice but to file for divorce.  I turn out to be right....not only that I lost the custody of my kids but I got deported back to my country.  Few months later my ex-husband and I solve our issued over the phone and on the email but it was too late for me because I lost the access to the US for 10 years.  I've worked with the US Embassy for all these years now and I have to tell you that I don't trust them because they always come back and ask for more money at all times.  The value of the US currency in my country are almost double, not to say the source of income is not so good.  Most of the people are making just about $3000USD a year so you can interpret yourself how hard it is for me to work and get that amount that the embassy want from me.  My kids are the most of important thing for me and I can't afford to lose them forever.  We still talk on the phone but I miss being in their life.  I've turn to any kind of help I could to be able to reunite with my kids.  I know, according to what I found out from them that they're emotionally damaged by this situation and am prayed each day for them.  I prayed that someone out there who might know anything that might help me or could be someone who have the same problem to share your experience.  I've giving up working with the US Embassy because everytime I ask for help they alway need money.  Now, I'm saving money to travel elsewhere to see them.  They now moved outside the US and wanted me to come and see them there.  They don't like it there but that the only place they can afford to live and for me to have an access to them.  They're three of them, the oldest is 10 years old.

 I really appreciate any comment or help...

I was divorced in 2004 and our now ten year old son who was lived with my ex-husband has recently moved out from the US with our son.  After our divorced I returned to my country and when I return to the US, I was turn away because of the problems with my travel document.  I have troubled coming up with my airfare to go see my son.  I've tried anything I could to save money but still fall short in saving the money to go see him.  I've asked my ex in numerous time to bring him to me but he refused.  He want me to come to where they live now which is outside the US to see my son.  I haven't seen my son for three years now but we've been in contact over the phone and emails for all these years.  I missed him so bad but I don't know how and where I'm going to come up with the money to go see him.  I've spend most of my money that I saved on immigration fees to correct what needed to be done so I can return to the US but now they always come up with so many excuses and want more money.  I give up dealing with the US Immigration totally.  I wish I can continue on fighting but I don't have any more money because everything I did is just waiste away and they kept asking for more money.  Now all the immigration fees are going up and I can't afford more.  I'll just leave it and trying to save to see my son elsewhere, but I don't want to wait for three more years.  He is now ten years old and he said he doesn't like where they are now.  I lost the custody because I'm no US Citizen and my son and ex are.  How can I get my legal right for my son back.  I want to be part of his life now while he still need me.  I'll forever blame myself for all this.  Please help!
