K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMY USC FIANCEE HAS CHILD SUPPORT DEBTS
I would be very careful. Get him to answer the questions you have about it. It is important you know why he is not paying. I can't see any good reason. What if you have a child and end up apart? Will he be responsible for that child?
I have a friend who is now paying child support for her husbands children out of her wages. That could be you.
I see red flags......

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do you do to keep from losing your mind ?
I want to talk about the immigration all the time, it annoys him I think but he does not say anything lol.
I am doing remarkably well so far though. Usually when we say our last good bye I go crazy until we have another date to see each other.
This time was different, I know it will be 6 months(ish) and then no more good byes.
But yep it is so hard some days. I mostly cry alone. He does not like to know I cry because it makes him feel helpless to make it better.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs the beneficiary able to work at a government job?


If the beneficiary is not a member of the communist party but works for the communisty party; would it affect the approval of a K-1 visa petition? Her position in the company is not important. She hands out computers, money & food to the poor. Thanks in advance.


Yes it would, based on her affiliation alone.

If all she does is hand out computers, money & food to the poor with this company, the same could be done with numerous other non-communist, non-profit orgs. as well.


But is working for a company have the same meaning as being affilated with it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBirth Certificate
I am filing out the forms for my birth cert and my kids. I see a certified copy of original registration for $50. Then I see Certificate of birth, framing size which includes name, date of birth, place of birth, sex, registration number and date, parents names and birth places. This one is $25. So I would save $100 if I got the small framing size. Does this sound like all the info I will need on it?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK2
Well it seems I may have been given misinformation from Vancouver.
While filling out my kids passport apps I was confused about the custody part so I called the number they listed.
What I am now told is that if custody papers state one parent has custody and does not mention access to the other parent no permission is needed from the other parent. However, if access is mentioned the other parent does need to give permission.
This makes me so angry!! Now I have to hire a lawyer to get that removed from my court order. I have not seen or heard from this man in over 10 yrs so I have no clue how I would even find him or if he would sign anything.
So who knows how long this is going to take! I would have taken care of this months ago if I knew. :crying:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew member, same worries...
I am going to the Phoenix area and am from Canada. You will be going through California, the slow one. Yep you will go through Montreal.

As far as the employment. I would not count on being able to work right away. Not sure how long it takes but I am sure someone else can answer that. What I do know is you can collect EI from Canada for up to 9 months ( I believe is 9 months is what I read). If you go down to the regional forum to the Canada forum you can get more info on this.

I don't know about the sponsor thing sorry.

If you have a straight forward case then I would say no lawyer. A lot of people find lawyers add problems.

As far as what you can do before you go see her. Not much at this point. You will both need to fill out 4 pages of the G325A and each will need a letter of intent. The rest is really up to her.

Good luck and welcome!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical


I was told at the medical I was being tested for HIV, Syphillis etc, I was not informed of a drug test nor was it mentioned....but I didn't have a reason to care either. I didn't think it was legally for them to test you without your knowledge???

Just lay off em for a few weeks before ya medical ;) (6 weeks or so isn't it?)



For these purposes.. they don't have to tell you anything... the doctor has no doctor/patient relationship with the immigration physicials, the doctor is only responsible to the US Government and he/she will do whatever tests they tell him/her to do, period.

Then why are we paying?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE received :(

I dont' see how Ana Castro is laughing about paperclips. It's not that funny?

Anyway,

I hardly doubt it they issued you a RFE for using too much paperclips. Chances are a missed signature or something like that.

It's not paperclips.

It was funny because of how she said it and the little bang on the head emote she used.

I hope you get it figured out soon and are on your way!

The only thing I want to say is that I'm pretty sure you only have to send the petitioner's birth certificate, and not the other two you're gonna send.
Also, isn't the FC-029 not required anymore??
Oh yeah one more thing.... only proof of meeting is required with the I129F too. Proof of ongoing relationship should be taken to the interview.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong! Good luck!!! :thumbs: :thumbs:

I agree. I am pretty sure tha FC-029 is not in use.

MrMrsknight love ur reply :yes: ... im just thinking JUST A THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! meeting someone for 5 days enough for K1 to accept? like lets say in 6 months time something worked outtttttt he came overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr would that be alright or would that still propose a question in whether ''our lurve is real''

Oh and what kind of RFE evidence should one give to help with the K1 being accepted please list them...oh and whats the real reason for why they ask for pictures the fact that theyve been together or too see how inlove they look in the PICTURES LOL! okkkkk
yes what evidence should one propose to make their K1 visa accepted!


btw the cost of K1 VISA AND AOS does it come around 2000$ ?


JUST CURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


5 days is meeting so it would be fine.

If you even have to ask this, you better meet. If you are wondering if you will still like each other after you meet how can you even think of marrying him without meeting?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEvidences for K-1
I guess what I don't understand is how doing exactly what is asked is lazy and sending in more than they want is the right thing?
We sent exactly what they asked and did not go overkill with evidence that was not requested at this time.
Maybe they need to start issuing RLE's (request for less evidence)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance's child


Gary-
-I would think she would have a compelling case in favor of her bringing her son with her ( and the fact he is 15 helps)-the main thing is to do it the right way according to the laws of the country she and her son are a citizens of-the very best course of action would be to seek local professional legal help in determining the correct papers to file there........that's the only point I am making......

Custody of children is nothing to play " fast and loose" with-especially when there are EX's involved and the fact that there are plans of immigrating make it more complex.

Don't worry----Just dot all the i's and cross off all the t's....Protect the custodial rights that are already in place and build the case to obtain the rights you need.....



best of luck
regards
Michele (F)

PS I am no lawyer-just a graduate of "been there -done that" .


I just talked to Luz. According to Philippine law she has total control over her son. She also told me her son's birth cert didn't get filed until after they broke up. SHE DIDN'T PUT HER EX'S NAME ON IT!! hehe Sly little babe I have there! One less worry!!! :D



That was a really important move. It sucks when you are dealing with deadbeat parents and still under the law they have rights.
I was so angry when I found that even though he had not been around in 10 yrs he could still effect my decisions for the kids! GRR!!!
The lawyers would do nothing because I have no clue where he is and they have nobody to serve. Family court has proven to be the greatest resource.

I know not all of the 'other' parents are deadbeats, this is just my own experience.
CristyFemaleCanada2006-03-20 00:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance's child
I was told by Vancouver that full custody was enough. The snag came in where my judgment says 'reasonable access' for the father.
If the other parent has access to the child even obtaining a passport is a huge issue.
In my case I have to apply to the court to have this removed as he abandoned the children 10 yrs ago.
I would check with your consulate and with the passport issuer. I could get no info from any lawyer here. I had to call family court. That might be your best bet.
Due to parental abductions things get sticky.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdo i need a agreement from father of my kid,when i want to shift to usa on k1 visa?

This is all governed by international treatry, which the US is a signatory. You will find a link somewhere on the Dept of State pages. Basically any child brought here without the permission of both parents will be sent back as an international kidnapping. The other parent can file thru a US Consulate to have his/her kid returned, and it will happen.



Not exactly true. Even if you are unable to locate the other parent you can go to family court and apply for a variance on the original order, which essentially removes the other parents rights. You can apply to have the court give you a judgment stating you have full authority to take the child into any jurisdiction. I am currently doing this. This also removes any thoughts of parental abduction. I would check with your family court and the consulate you are going through for more specifics on how to achieve this. I received no help from family or immigration lawyers.

Yes of course you need approval from the father of your child......its his kid as well and he has every right to stop you from taking his kid out of the country.......it takes two parents to make a child.......and he wants to see his kid again as well so dont be selfish please........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Making a child and parenting a child are different things. Full custody means that parent is totally in charge of all decisions. There are usually good reasons for the court to decide this. You do not know what the other parents involvement has been with the child so calling someone selfish is way out of line.

Email your consulate. I was told by Vancouver my custody papers are all I need. It makes sense that the parent with sole custody does not need the non custodial parents permission.
