K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew around here and finding everything a little daunting...
Agree with everyone else. Don't try to do it on a tourist visa, it is illegal to plan that.
Read the guides and the FAQ above, there is tons of info to go through.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa confusion

- to prove that I did not intend to stay illegally inthe US past the I-129 process, will bank statements, cell phone bills and the fact that I have a car in Canada be enough? I obviously won't keep my job if I do intend to stay with David through the process (not fair to the school or students), however, my boss certainly is willing to write me a letter giving me an indefinate leave of absence. Also, I do not own a house to hold a mortgate or deed for.


Unfortunately having a bank account or cell phone does not prove your intent to return home. You need to prove your intent to return home by establishing things like:

a residence in a foreign country which he/she has no intention of abandoning;
strong family ties remaining in home country;
strong work ties to require your return
continued membership in organizations,
proof of spouse/children/family in home country
personal letters of intent to return home

Agree with all of this...just being lazy and piggybacking your answers lol

Welcome and good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAnybody here has visa approved ?


Yep, it look like everything is on hold for the time being until this new form is blessed and approved by everyone and their grandmothers in DC. In the meantime we all have to wait and try to be patient with our government. Arghhhhhhh.

Sorry, just had to vent my frustration over this whole process a bit.


Oh honey THAT was not venting. That was nothing. You and I are on the exact timeline and I have gone BALLASTIC over this. So let it out . . . you deserve it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarriage with travel visa?

Marriage under travel visa is not against the law, IMHO. But come to USA and intend to stay under tourist visa, that is not what the tourist visa was intended for.

You might want to check the DCF option, link provided by meauxna. It is available also for the non resident USC. You can get married in Indonesia & apply for DCF personally in consulate in Jakarta. Short waiting time & less hassle in the future as you will apply for immigrant visa rather than non immigrant visa (as in K-1).

It is not a matter of opinion. Entering with a travel visa with intent to marry and stay is illegal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa medical appointment question:


i'm curious to find out when this is asked and the answer is yes but years ago...what would be the consequences? denial? drug test? any other dire repercussions?



Unless you are applying for a Government security clearance, your past drug use is irrelevant. Even when you apply for a security clearance, they factor in the timeline of your use, what you used and how often. Generally, college age use is considered experimental. Forgivable.

Since you are simply applying for a visa and your drug use was years ago, I would say: NO, I have not.

If you still use drugs, well, that is another story.

That is not what the forms ask in packet 3. It does matter. Ask Melo.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDUTCH FIANCE.. Does he have to come in on a K1 visa?

This is beating a dead horse but she posted her intent not his and only one person comes through the immagration line so I will agree to disagree. if he has no intent, he has no intent. His truthful answers when he arrives at immigration are what count.

It would apper a DCF is they way to go anyway.

Please remember that prior to 9-11 the highackers computers were not looked at because of a very very ####### view of what was legal and what was not. Our laws are supose to #1 keep us free #2 Protect us #3 serve us

We are not slaves to the law The Law serves us


I would suggest you get a little more familiar with the laws before offering advice.
CristyFemaleCanada2006-06-22 11:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDUTCH FIANCE.. Does he have to come in on a K1 visa?

maybe I did not say it right but is that not what i said. IF He does not have intent; if you do not discuss your plan with him. It is only he that comes into the USA. I would never suggest something illegal however I will recommend you use the system/law to the best of your ability. There is no white and black its haze gray and you must decide with proper legal help what works best for you. An ####### interpitation of the law is not nessaraly its purpose or intent.

Good Luck

She posted their intent, they plan to marry and for him to stay....that is intent.... so to advise her otherwise is fraudulent.
CristyFemaleCanada2006-06-22 08:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDUTCH FIANCE.. Does he have to come in on a K1 visa?

I do not see how it is illegal if you do not talk about it with him and he just comes here to visit. he is not lieing or missinforming anyone in the USG; his intention is to come to visit on the VWP. Once he is here you convince him to stay and marry asap and it seems legal. Then just do a aos here. The law says he must be truthful so if his intention is not to marry just visit and you use your womenly arts to change his mind after the fact how is that illegal???? and you do not have to be apart. But I guess I would run this by at laest 1 lawyer if not 2 and see what they think.

Good Luck,

It is illegal because they have intent. What you are doing is offering advice to commit immigration fraud.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDUTCH FIANCE.. Does he have to come in on a K1 visa?
A visa waiver country does not mean they can move to the US, it means they can visit.
If you intend to get married, which you state you do, you need to apply for a K1 visa or get married and apply for a K3 visa.
Entering with intent to marry and stay is illegal the way you are suggesting. Nobody wants to problem of not seeing each other, but that is life.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSending without Criminal history?


I am applying for the K1 fiancee visa. I 'm the petitioner and I'm not sure wether or not I will need to send in the criminal background check. I have a 2 convictions for driving under the influence and a couple of probation before judgements. Probation before judgement in Maryland is not a conviction. I have called and e-mailed over 100 lawyers and got mixed results. Some say the probation before judgement is considered a conviction on the federal level and others say it's not. So, some lawyers say I need to send it and others say I don't.

I'm gonna go ahead and get the background check from the state police department but it takes 30 days to receive it. I want to send in the application now and see if it flies or not. If they give me an RFE I hope it will be around the same time I would be receiving the background check and I can send it in.

What's all of your opinion?


Seeing how you are the US Citizen, it wont make a bit of difference. You are required to submit police records?? I thought you only had to answer the questions.
They are only looking for convictions of domestic violence that the beneficary needs to know about.



IMBRA changed that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPASSPORT/VISA LOST/STOLEN


You must report the stolen/loss passport inmediately. Unfortunately, the consulate will not replace a loss/stolen visa with a new passport. You must obtain a new passport and then have you fiance(e) petition for you again.

That's right. If your visa is loss once it is issued, no replacement visas are available. You must start all over from the beginning.


Are you 100% sure about this? :huh:
OP should report passport stolen to UK authorities asap - and also CHECK with US Embassy about visa - I know many years ago when i had a passport stoeln abroad, which contained a US visitor visa (before VWP) the US consulate in Sydney just re-issued the visa..that's the only reason I'm asking if you are 100% sure..


I would check on that, it sounds really harsh.
