K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRed Flag List for visa denial
Maybe it's just my anxiety reading some of the horror stories about visa denials at interviews. I am a little concerned about the potential emotional roller coaster from these stories. I gathered from some other forum topics potential RED FLAG list. One of the RED FLAGS was if the petitioner has had a recent divorce before engagement with new fiancée.

My divorce was filed 10/2007 and was final 07/2009 and have been on my own for over a 1 ½ years. I just filed my 129f 12/2009. Why should this be a red flag since divorces in USA can take sever month or a few years. During this period of separation many people establish new relationships that have no bearing on a future with their new partner, so why would the matter just because my fiancée is from a different country?

Thanks,

Rob


Our Background:

I never imagined I would get involved with someone from a different country. I joined online dating service 3/2009 and Out of curiosity I did a profile search in China from my online dating service and made contact to whom is now my fiancée in 04/2009. We are well established emotionally, documentation, phone/email records, 14 travel in 10/2009, etc and we are fully committed to marry. After I returned from China I ambitiously prepared the 129f and sent the petition on 12/31/2009

Do you think that's what it is..That somehow NVC sent Kingston the incorrect I-864
and not the New one that NVC requested we correct or provide Joint sponsor financial.

for 6 dependents it says 39,487.. I don't understand why they would ask for a joint sponsor.. I do know a error was made and corrected on the I-864 filing..God knows this journey has been more than hard.. Every turn devil tries to put obstacles in the way..Jesus I need you.. We had so much evidence 100 and 100 of papers proving this relationship..

When you turned in your I-864, what did you submit?

NVC requested correction on I-864 the lawyer made a error checked both A) I am the petitioner filing and joint sponsor.. We resubmitted it correctly and a interview date was given.. Maybe it's a error and there looking at the incorrect I-864

Yes I submitted everything they needed I made 45,000 2012, 43,000 2011, 33,000 2010. 5 dependents really 4 with my husband included cause they make you include him even though he's not here and you can't claim it on your US takes until there here 6 months.. I had a extra person in my residents for 2 years I claimed in 2012 due to a brutal stabbing attacking getting gas a crime victim who only by god's grace is here today.. Back to work and back in his own place. A letter was submitted in regards to that dependent my brother was my dependent.

It's just ####### he had tuns of evidence that the officer would not look at..

Husband got white slip temporary refusal..Joint Sponsor is underlined in red.. why I meet the criteria!! Husband also say the man only ask 2 question look at the photo book.. Ask for money transfer and said she has not sent much and not in a long time and then gave him the slip..Money transfers I don't and have never been asked by my husband to send him anything.. I do put credits on his phone cause it's cheaper for me to go online to ezetop then for him to purchase in Jamaica. So I need this stuff and have to email for a interview date via KingstonIVAppointment@state.gov.. Any info is appreciated

Well he is sticking to his guns!! He says when the interview comes he will again be honest. I speak with him mom all the time and she advocates he is a honest man fer sure!!

Some folks have more standards than others.. I am thankful truly we will be victorious I am sure. I just spoke with our lawyer and informed her she feels he did the right thing and as long as the test is negative that should not be held against him. She does not feel it will affect the decision. I put all my faith in my Father see my husband is what I asked him for a honest man, a true man, a man of God. And that he is I a bit disappointed by he says he is going to do Great things for GOD. Yes for some reason it took a very long time to get approved. Evilness wants to trick me into believe it has prevailed over us. The Devil is a lair and a snake and has no dominion over anything in our lives.. I trust HIM completely

Here's what I know GOD has blessed me with a wonderful man. And yes he is trustworthy and very honest upstanding man. He comes from a blessed family and I was so worried yesterday I felt like he was going to be honest as he should.

I will not divorce my husband he is the kindest and loving man. He just really can't be deceptive I am sure if he were not honest he would have been exposed I love my husband very much.

Today is a new day I feel better just a bit down. The Devil has no power it's just another one of his snares. I know GOD favor's me he's been excellent to me all my life. it's in his time so if I have to wait a little while longer I shall!! Thanks you all for your thoughts and experiences I really appreciated it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to include in a packet
QUOTE (Otto und Karin @ Jun 20 2009, 03:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It looks like you've definitely got a decent grasp of things - as suggested above, check out the step-by-step guide above - there's an assembly section that you can use to make sure you haven't missed anything.

Most of what your asking is in the FAQs areas but to summarize.

The I-134 and supporting documents is not submitted with the I-129f petition but is taken to the interview (later on in the process).

As for visiting while all this is going on... yes, it is possible - check the FAQs/Wiki sections for more details.

(The K-1 Flowchart was one of the most valuable tools for me when I first started out here - was very helpful in breaking down the steps. )

Thanks a ton Otto.. I am just ready to get this thing going and get Linnea here. Gona be a ruff ride but looks like everyone is or has gone through that same ride here.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to include in a packet
Hey all,

Just registered today. I wasn't nearly as nervous as asking my fiancée to marry me. On June 15, I was engaged to a very beautiful Swedish girl. We met in school about 2 years ago and have been together since. However, as of Friday, June 19, I had to returned back to the states and she stay in Sweden. sad.gif

I have two questions:

1. I have the K1 packet with documents including the fallows:
-Payment in the amount of $455 Filling Fee
-I-129F
-I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question 18, explanation of meeting in person
-Original Letter certifying the intent to marry by petitioner
-Original Letter certifying the intent to marry by beneficiary
-Proof of having met, as well as on going relationship including:
• Swedish Newspaper Article Discussing our Relationship
• English Translation of the said Newspaper Article
• Airline Tickets of trip from Copenhagen, Denmark to Amsterdam, Holland
• 15 Color photos of throughout our ongoing relationship dating from Jan 2008 – June 2009
-G-325A and passport style photo for petitioner
-G-325A and passport style photo for beneficiary

Should I include an I-134 affidavit of support with this? Also, I am having a co-sponsor to help, should an I-864 be included in the initial filling or do you wait on this? If you do not have to include initially, would it hurt to include it?

2. Because of the process time and the fact that we have been connected at the hip for the last 2 years, would it hurt if she came on a three month tourist visa while we wait for this process to go through?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGood News but could be bad...
For the sake of extra viewers, I have reposted here. It was originally posted to the work forum but this is a K1 issue as well. Original Post:

So, let me preface this by saying I am very appreciative of any help I may find for my questions and wish the best of luck to all people who are going through this long and tedious process.

To help you understand our situation, I'll give a bit of background information. Linnéa and I are both recent graduates with myself entering Law School and she actively looking for jobs. Currently, Linnéa is working at Svenska Handelsbanken in Stockholm but her employment will end at the end of August as it was a "trainee-summer position." Like most couples, we are actively searching for positions where we can start our careers, (my career starter job will come in a few years... hopefully).

A few days ago, Linnéa got into contact with the HR department at the same undergrad University we met at 2 years ago. Linnéa studied abroad for a year there and developed some really good relationships with some staff and faculty, including that of the VP and Provost. She was informed of a position that has recently opened up at that University for a new International Study Abroad / Exchange Student Coordinator. What better person to occupy such a position than an individual who has studied abroad herself to China, and has experienced what international students face when they arrive to the University. Moreover, a majority of the international students who come to this University are either from China, or Sweden. Since she knows both cultures and speaks both languages, it would be a perfect fit.

Naturally, we applied.

However, here is where our situation becomes intriguing and where I could use the advice from this forum.

Currently, we are in the processing time for our K1 visa, about 1 month since we received our first NOA. We have booked a ticket for Linnéa to come visit form the 28th of August to the 2nd of November. The University states that the position will remain open until filled but, with the hard economics times, I don't think it would remain open until around January when Linnéa should arrive with the K1 and work authorization.

We have contemplated the idea of having her work during her time she is here to visit as a trainee and not pay her, should the University go for that. If they do, how does that affect her K1 status? From my understanding, should immigration find that she has worked in the US before receiving the K1, it could be detrimental to our petition. Is this correct?

Is there any way that the University could hire her before the K1 and, if so, does this provide a situation that would allow the K1 to be expedited? (not that I am trying to jump ahead of you fine people, just looking at options).

Another option we are considering is, should she receive the position and the University will pay for the work visa (does anyone know the approximate cost of work visa's by the way?), would it be possible, and possibly the most logical decision, to abandon the petition for a K1 and, after our marriage, apply for a K3? The most difficult part of this whole process is the waiting and if she was here by other means, the petitioning for green cards and AOS could wait, especially if she has employment.

So, as I said in the subject line, it was exciting news we received. The person making the hire Linnéa knows well and stopped just short of saying she was the leading candidate but praised her fully. It also helps that we have support from the VP and Provost. However, there concerns were the same as mine and they are the ones voiced above. How does this affect our petition?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and replying with any advice you may have. I hope it is understandable and if you would like more info I will do my best to answer.

Hi Casey,

My girlfriend had come to US before (I didn't know her then) and she filed for a time extension for pleasure and being a tourist, the extension it was denied so to make a long story short she had to leave right away because her original I-94 was past the due date.
Fast forward to to the time we met and she told me horror stories about how the INS inspectors at the airports can make a tourist visit a nightmare and that she was worried when we decided for her to come to the US. I didn't believer her but sure enough she flew into Atanta on June 22, 2009 and ended up detained for basically no reason at all. The agent told her something about that they needed to inspect her luggage and didn't give her any other information. Her connecting flight time to L.A. was only about an hour. Well she missed it, they finally let her leave and the only reason I think that they didn't turn her away is because she got cute with a male agent, she pretty. It was a female agent that detained her and I don't think it was for any reason that they needed to do so. The only thing I can think of is that the denied extension request is stuck in her passport information. A friend later told me is that she should just get a new passport with a new number that is not connected to the old number with a new visa.
I just filed the I-129 and was hoping that the time she is her coicides with the time her visa comes through but I think it will take more than the 180 days that she is allowed to stay on the tourist visa so we will be waiting until she get her visa before we can see each other again.

Good luck,

Bernie

Hi all,

Thankfully after 2 1/2 months of separation, my fiancée will be here on Friday! She is flying into Atlanta from Sweden with a connecting flight in London. She will be staying till November 2nd, so it will be approximately two and 1/2 months in the States.

We have a round trip ticket purchased and she is going to have that in hand when she goes through customs so they will know she is leaving before the 3 month period.

My question is, should she have any other documenting evidence for her to show when she arrives at the POE? I have heard some horror stories of people being denied entry and I would really hate for this to happen to us.

As always, I appreciate all the information I receive from this forum and best of luck to everyone in this process.

Casey och Linnéa




Ill tell Linnéa to put on her charm with the male agents haha.

I must admit, these "horror" stories scare me to death. In Sweden, she allowed the I-94 just by having a passport right? Everything we looked up from the state department said this was the case but I just wanted to verify. I guess it may be a little to late if I was wrong as she is leaving in a few hours.

Atlanta is her final destination and as long as she can just get through and come up the stairs where I will be waiting I will be the happiest person in the world! We have a letter from her employer, we have a round trip ticket and, after reading one of the earlier post, she is probably just packing summer clothes to avoid suspicion if they were to go through her baggage. biggrin.gif

If she was to be denied however, is there anything I could do from the top to convince someone to let her in? Also, would she have to pay for the ticket back? That would just be shitty...

I will keep everyone posted on what happens tomorrow. Wish us Luck!

Yea this is what I was wondering about also... At the point of entry will they be able to pull up and see she has a K1 filed and processing? If so, shouldn't she go ahead and say she is here to visit me? That way it doesn't look like she is trying to withhold information.

I guess the best response is to just be short and sweet with all the answers...

QUOTE (Freyja @ Sep 29 2009, 08:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Congrats!!!

Your petition is now probably on its way to NVC and then it will be sent to the Embassy in Sweden. My experience with the Embassy in Sweden was excellent and they are really fast so I'd expect your packet 3 to arrive soon. I got an interview just over a month after my NOA2 so if you want to speed things up, probably your fiance should go back to Sweden sooner than Nov. Also, if you haven't done so yet start collecting police certificate and birth certificate.

Good luck!



Woops my bad I ment K1 not K3 ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReceived NOA2! But fiancée is in America right now
So I received the NOA2 today! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

This was much much faster than I had ever though would happen. Total time was 3 months!

However Linnéa is in the US right now as she was here on a tourist visa and her plane ticket back is not till Nov 2nd...

Should we change the ticket and have her return immediately so we can start the next process?

Is it possible for someone other than Linnéa, say her mother, to pick up the information from the Embassy?

The NOA2 says it is valid between 9-21-2009 and 1-21-2010, is this the period that is valid for her to go to the embassy and get issued a K3 visa then receive another 90 days to get married on the K3 or is this (1-21-2010) the deadline for us to get married?

Thanks for all the help!!!

We are glad right now! kicking.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBack to the USCIS
Hi All,

I am in the process of obtaining a I-129F and when my fiancee went for her interview at the embassy in Stockholm she was informed that we needed to get a 212(e) "NO OBJECTION" waiver. We then received the necessary documentation and applied for the waiver. After about a month after the application, our online case status changed to "FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION" sent on March 4, 2010. This sent document was a recommendation back to the USCIS Vermont Service Center.

First, I assume Favorable Recommendation is a good thing, so does anyone know how much longer we will wait till full approval? From my understanding, there has to be a secondary approval at the USCIS and then my fiancee will be contacted directly, yet I have been unable to find out how long that secondary approval will take. Does anyone on here know? Our wedding is planned for July 17th so I am hoping everything will work out.

Tack så jättemycket för hjälpen,

Middle East and North Africagreen card marriages, ladies beware
Hi Wendy,
I am so sorry this happened to you. I pray that God will restore everything that you have lost and that you will find peace and happiness despite what has happened to you. Put your faith in God and He will see you through.

Love and Blessings,
Irene

Middle East and North AfricaNew members going thru Jordan
Hi,

I'm Irene from Atlanta, GA and my husband is Tawfiq from Rusaifah in Jordan. We married in February 2006 and Tawfiq arrived here in May 2007. We applied to have his conditions removed in February 2009 and hopefully he will receive his 10 year green card soon.

I am a residential manager at an addiction treatment center for women. My husband has been working with the US Army in Iraq for the past year as a translator; professionally he is a teacher. He is currently here with me on vacation. We traveled to Egypt in February to visit his 25 year old son. I have 4 adult children and 3 grands; my husband has one adult son.

We are enjoying a very happy life together and give thanks to Allah for being so merciful to us. We wish the best to all VJ members.
