My fiancé is Venezuelan, he left Ven. about 10yrs ago due to Political Persecution. He was interview on the news for recording a Ven. National Guard shooting a protester in the face with a rubber bullet in close range. He was and is against the Chavz Regime. and due to his name being well known for his father being a retired Congressman of the opposing party, he received death threats. He has family living (legally citizens) in Miami so he tried to come the legal way but he was denied by the Embassy. He did the only thing he was able to do he got a travel Visa to Mexico and then crossed the US border illegally. He stayed living with his family in Miami working with his families business and got by. A year or so later he tried to fix his status but the lawyer he spoke to at that time said it was to late to seek asylum and there was nothing he could do. Having no other options he continued to live the best best way he could, working for his families business and giving guitar lessons. About a year after that we met, we have been together ever since, we have 3 kids, 2 of witch are ours together. Our family struggles on my one income because we now live in California in a tiny 2 bed room apt with no room to give lessons. We are in desperate need to be whole. From what he has been told there is nothing we can do. Is this true? Are there options for us outside of him leaving back to Ven. with a 10year bar, to wait for an appeal for a fiancé visa.
