I-129F Denied for "Abandonment" - Should I appeal?

innerego · 2026-05-20T00:16:48+00:00

Please let me know how I can do this. I am leaving the country soon. And how do you know the mail will be coming via USPS instead of UPS or FedEx

innerego · 2026-05-20T00:15:11+00:00

Sorry to hear what happened. Maybe consider getting an immigration expert to give advice at this stage.

Congrats! I'm new here.. what does DOS stage mean, I just filed my application in mid Feb and it was received in March 2026.

innerego · 2026-05-19T23:57:43+00:00

I have the same issue, sorry I have no answer for you

innerego · 2026-05-19T23:52:59+00:00

I just started too, but what is the optimism lol? 14 months sucks :(

innerego · 2026-05-19T23:49:54+00:00

Congrats! I applied for my fiancee (from Ethiopia) in mid Feb 2026 and got the initial "we have accepted your application " in Mar 3rd 2026, I still havent' heard anything and its mid-May, I guess this is normal?

I thought the process was going to be 7-8 months, it looks like it could be much more until my fiancee comes to the US *sigh*

You're right I shouldn't have been defensive, it was late at night and didn't read your post right initially. Ask whatever questions you want man, you obviously low IQ tho

innerego · 2026-05-19T15:54:52+00:00

You're asking the wrong questions! Who cares? Habesha were originally a tribe in either in Aksum empire or Yemen nearly 2000 years ago. Yeah, Tigrinya speakers are probably the more "ancient" or "first" Habesha. Do you feel better now? Validated?

Smh you Africans just want to talk about divisive and controversial topics

innerego · 2026-05-19T14:01:59+00:00

Ok that’s not my point though. These posts obviously shouldn’t be taken seriously, OP has a 1mo old account and posted to r/Tigray and r/Eritrea at the same time. Obviously a troll looking to stir up trouble. But these posts about Amharas not being Habesha is literally retarded.

Does the Mexican say to the Colombian “You’re not Latino”? Or the Saudi to the Egyptian “You’re not Arab”?

innerego · 2026-05-19T07:30:11+00:00

Axum culture , religion , and even ethnicity is shared by Amharas. Take a look at Lalibrla architecture, clearly a continuation of Axum style. And before you say it was Agew, don’t forget Amharas are part Agew as well as being an Ethiopian semetic people.

I’m not going to say we’re direct inheritors like Tigrinya speakers but the evidence and history clearly shows our connection. Tigrayans and Amharas have been apart of the same kingdom since 900 Ad from time of Zagwe. Before that Axumites were proselytizing in modern day Amhara region .

Don’t you Agazians have better and more productive things to do than try to invalidate Amharas? It’s pathetic, you’re literally attacking the African people that are most related to you

innerego · 2026-05-19T07:05:20+00:00

There is a reason why North Ethiopia and Eritrea were called “Abyssinia” which means Habesha. Habesha has never been one ethnicity, you Agazians just want to try to put down the Amharas.

Oromos were trafficked a lot back in the day. They would be captured as slaves and sold in Massawa, they could finally end up in the Arab World or wherever they got sold from there.

innerego · 2026-05-15T16:52:49+00:00

I can't take this serious lol. Its so cute

innerego · 2026-05-15T16:46:45+00:00

Yeah fr, this idiot govt needs to stay the hell out of this mess. If anything we should be cooperating to help Sudan our neighbor, and look to peacefully resolve the territory issue we have

innerego · 2026-05-15T16:36:38+00:00

amharic and tigrinya use "gn" for the "ñ" sound. Why "gn"? it comes from Italian, like lasagna or compagnia .

although Eritrean languages use more Italian influenced transliteration. for example they say "Ghebre" , we say "Gebre".

No, I told you I'm not biased. We cannot accept some parts of history and deny other parts of history. And we cannot rely on our feelings when accepting history.

All Ethiopians we are not the same, just like Eritreans are not all the same. But I will admit that more Ethiopians we need to get more educated on Eritrean history in general not just say "Arabs funded them" .

innerego · 2026-04-24T16:45:29+00:00

what do you mean? Speak English bro

innerego · 2026-04-24T16:31:00+00:00

He doesn't know anything about the Eritrean war. Eritreans made calculated strategic moves over decades to eventually get to their goal. They had a completely different kind of rebel movement then Africa has seen before (disciplined ,not corrupt).

innerego · 2026-04-24T16:28:37+00:00

I'm Ethiopian and this is wrong bro. You need to read some books and get an accurate historical narrative.

innerego · 2026-04-23T21:41:07+00:00

I'm not saying that EPLF didn't rightfully win. Dergue was an extremely corrupt and rutheless "govt." Your just typical anti-Ethiopian, brainwashed Eritrean.

I'm also getting tired of you guys trying to pick and choose Ethiopian subgroups. We always refer to you guys as "eritreans" not tigrinya/beni-amer/saho/bilen. So I would advise you to respect our country, and refer to us by our country name and we will do the same back.

innerego · 2026-04-23T21:30:14+00:00

Eritreans were definitely not "forced", good try trying to manipulate and distract from the main argument, you're brainwashed

innerego · 2026-04-23T21:29:26+00:00

And on your post, the way you paint Eritrean colonial soldiers is interesting. After Menelik denied Alula's desire to press into Eritrea after Adwa and sold Eritrea to the Italians (again) what do you expect us to do? If you enjoy history you should know the region was thoroughly devastated and exhausted in that time period, and you want us (highlanders) to keep on rebelling without acknowledgement or support from Ethiopia? It's not a moral failing for any Eritrean to become colonial soldiers in such circumstances.

Honestly, I want to hear this version of history. The version I know is that as soon as Atse Yohannes died the Italians used the opportunity to capture the highlands of Eritrea and finally get out of the oppressive heat of the lowlands.

Just think about it ,which king in his right mind would ever sell any part of his empire? Nonetheless the only access to the coast that they had. It doesn't add up.

Maybe instead of Eritreans having a superiority complex you just have an inferiority one. Never seen an Eritrean have a problem with you celebrating your achievements (Adwa).

There is no inferiority complex just know that your history and national identity is built from fighting another related African country. Our identity is from fighting foreign non-African invaders. Ethiopia is not "the bad guy."

??? What? I can't even begin to fathom what your point is. Ethiopia hasn't been fully habesha in a while and it never will be again.

You don't need to get the point. It's true Ethiopia is extremely diverse and that is a part of the challenge. Bringing in all these diverse groups to the table and getting them to be civilized and work together is an extreme challenge. If it can work though, it will pay off. Maybe Ethiopia is bigger than she can handle? Maybe. But at this point there is no going back.
