K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresgetting touched
A touch signifies some sort of activity on your petition, but nothing that would cause a change of status. Generally, status changes if there is a request for further evidence, or when the petition is approved.

So basically, it means they're working on it, but they're not done yet. I'd say it's a good thing. One step closer...

I just meant most of us were smart enough (and lucky enough) to know when we needed one and when we didn't and I didn't take kindly to the general insults of the OP.


I missed the insults. :unsure:

There's something distatesteful about it to me, too. But I've heard that 20% of all marriages are between first cousins, and that offspring of first cousins only have a 2-3% greater chance of birth defects.

Ok, I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm not looking to argue.

I was merely advising that maybe the OP should not take your assessment of the situation as some sort of guarantee that the cousin issue will not interfere with the immigration process.


That advice is likely to cause undue stress and worry for the OP's family members. There actually are clear answers to some questions. This is one of those times and one of those answers.




I disagree.

Let's leave it at that.

It's not a second cousin, it's a first cousin once-removed.

Second cousins have the same great-grandparents, but not the same grandparents.

The children of my first cousins are still first cousins, but separated by a generation, hence once-removed.

I am not sure, but I would think that the first cousin rules would apply.


Yes, but they need only marry (not live) in a State where it is legal. They may proceed with the visa process as if their genealogy was not a factor.



That's been debated here on VJ many times, and I'm not so sure you're right. It usually comes up with the issue of divorce and certain states having mandatory waiting periods. I don't think there's ever been any solid conclusions.


I'm not conflicted in the least. My second wife's sister married their first cousin in a State where it was legal and lived their lives in a State where first cousin marriage is not allowed. No sweat, except with the family consternation. There must have been something quite special about this young woman, I couldn't grasp, because two brothers wanted very much to marry her. Such is life.

Consensus on VJ is not the be all and end all of each possible immigration question. :no:


Of course not, but are you the be all and end all of each possible immigration question?

ETA: I do not think you are wrong, but I would hesitate to put it out there with such authority that this will not possibly cause any difficulty in thier immigration process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions regarding possible Red Flags
At the interview, the CO will use many things to determine whether you should receive a visa. You are right that a divorce finalized within a short time of filing the petition can be a red flag. But these sorts of things are scrutinized more often at high-fraud consulates and couples that have several red flags may run into difficulties.

its still all confusing and worthless at this point. he/she whatever it is should have been clean from the beginning, now he/she has no one caring anymore and then he/she attacks you over it


He couldn't have been clean from the beginning because he's a green card cyber troller. He's trying to get info about the best way to convince the consulate that his new relationship is real. Will the consulate believe my relationship more if I get my new girlfriend pregnant? Basically, how can I still get a K1 when I fukced up my first chance?

He can attack me all he wants because I'm not the one who's hiding something.


I HOPE THE CASBLANCA CONSULATE KEEPS UP THE GOOD WORK WEEDING OUT THE FRAUDS!!!!!

Pardon my cynicism, but this sounds a lot like damage control in light of what has been mentioned about the possibility of your current fiancee coming to read VJ. I really find it hard to believe that a woman would be rushing to petition a foreign man who never said that he loved her and made it clear that he only wanted to be friends. I mean, come on, didn't you have to sign the petition too?

well i dont know why i still have to deal with this type of comments......i dont have to make anything cleared for ya so ya can understand...it seems like u re questionning me and u re doing the interview right now...ya have to believe that certain thinsg maintain to be personal ....BUT i will tell ya what i am able to tell ya ...it it would make sense great if not thats ur own problem.....she was really in a rush to sign papers and file out ,BECAUSE she tought that she can make me love her as time went by and by the end of the processing etc we both tought this way..and thats why i signed papers thinking that....things will go fine and i'll lover her..but none of that happen ..just things started poping up as time goes by and we found ourselves facing the fact to deal with cancelling and me and her were not meant for each other .....I REALLY HOPE IT WILL STOP NOW...im not here to give explaination and resume regarding my past thats really unfair to make me do it i can igore it but i just try to answer some folks and make things clearer....if i have to ficus on something now its me and my current fiance that i love unconditionally and she knows the whole story,we re both just hoping things will go fine ....please im expecting a lil respect there is something called "PRIVACY".


Whatever, dude. I think most of us here are on to exactly what type of game you're running. You're not going to convince me, I can tell you that much. My only hope is that your girlfriend WILL read here. Hopefully, she'll gain a little bit of perspective.

Oh, and speaking of unfair, yes there are quite a few things about all this that are unfair.

  • The interview date with/for the former fiancee was January 30, 2007, per your post.
  • You have communications dating April 2007 which show a four-month relationship with your current fiancee, and you've decided to get married in the U.S. This leaves me wondering.
  • The fact that your communications started three months after the interview date leaves me wondering.
  • You characterize the former relationship as "... an affair with another american citizen ..." yet you were engaged to get married and filed a visa petition to marry in the U.S.
Huge red flags are popping up. Credibility is an issue here. I expect it will be an issue for the Casablanca.

well i been reading every information i could find on any emmigration websites,because seems no one before have faced our problem,my fiance and I are afraid of his old affair with an american citizen...because to cut it short he was engaged to her and she filled out for him a k1 visa to come to the states,her case has been approved by USCIS and his papers have been sent to the US consulate in his country,but for whatever reasons they broke up and things just did not go well between them,he wrote the consulate cancelling his appointment date for the interview one day before interview that she was supposed to be at 30 january 2007,i think she did the same but just a week ago she also wrote the consulate telling them they re together coz she was trying to make up and correct stuff and just work things out etc ,he did not want to go to interview and he has never been interviewed at the office,he also had her cancel his petition at USCIS ,she said she did but who knows we are nbot sure and we cant make sure ,last time he checked his case on USCIS its just showing what time they have been approved the case .....NOW i have been with him there and we spent a summer vacation together and im planning to go by November....i was a friend of him when he was already into the previous relationship ,it is more than one YEAR but i only have email since April 2007,coz we been talking only on Skype and not everyday just 2 to 4 times a week....WE are together now ,we have decided to apply a fiance visa for him to come here after i come back from there in November...I need to know if his past would catch up with us or nobody would care if he has been in an affair with another american citizen ,i am trying to get informations before i get on plane lol only 2 months ahead of me please if anyone can assist me i'd apperciate it .

THANKS for the help!!


THANKS MM MS for what ya had to say of course its greately apperciated but i think i had to add something else as well here....my boyfriend now(not a fiance officially yet),have been in the previous relationship with USC,and a couple months before 30 january(interview date) problems and obstacls started to pop up in their relationship,therefore and since they could NOT work things out they have decided to end everything....29 January to be exact he wrote the consulate telling them that they were no longer together and that she is just a friend of family and nothing more ...( im saying what he had to say to Consulate regardless of what she wrote)....the Consulate replied to my botfriend and they have just thank him in the email for the informations and said they will cancel his procesing and appointment date for interview.....you tought just in April we started the relationship which is not true ,WE KNOW each other and we started the friendship that has been developped now to a real love since September 2006,BUT i just can not prrove it because we did not save any emails and nothing ,we have talked online 2 to 4 times a week and sometimes on Skype program....i hope ya can understand this point.....NOW and to make it more clear for you folks .....I have visited him and we spent vacation there and we still at that time did not decide to file out anything....we have pics,plane tickets,emails SO FAR.....I am planning to go back there 2th November which is gona be my second golden trip to see my love.....after returning back home I WILL WAIT UNTILL 1th January 2008 to file out I HOPE IT WOULD WORK OUT THEN because ...everything was predestined and everyone can breake up with his fiance or wife that belongs to life and if they would want to ask him what was the reasons i belive my guy can listed them in such an amicable way...THANKS ALL FOR EVERY WORD YOU HAVE TYPED REGARDING MY ISSUE


So your saying that while he was going to marry and in the process of a visa interview and approval with ANOTHER WOMAN, you were in a loving relationship with him? ok now this has gotten weird. and something doesnt add up for me.

Who knows why, but unfortunately it happens. And adjudicators at 'high fraud' consulates know it happens - they watch for it and are particularly keen about uncovering anyone they suspect guilty of it.

It might be a good idea to get to know your man a bit better. If DOS thinks you don't, they will attempt to uncover what you don't know and you may not like the result.


This is very true. He and his ex are in the system. Make sure you know everything so you can respond accordingly. It is obvious that you care deeply for him and believe in him. So I know it sounds harsh when folks advise you to put the heart stuff aside for a bit and concentrate on the head stuff. But some folks here have seen a lot, and it's difficult to watch someone suffer through a bad experience when it might have been avoided. To use a very trite phrase, knowledge is power. Be strong, be prepared, keep your eyes open, and best of luck to you.


Absolutely. You stated that your fiance and his previous USC fiancee broke up for "whatever reasons". The consulate will definitely want to know what those reasons are, and they will also likely take into account the opinion of the previous fiancee, if she has contacted them.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, because I do realize that you are in love, however I must say that everything about this spells bad news, all around.

Be aware that for some consulates, packet 3 is paperwork that must be sent back to the consulate in order to proceed with the scheduling of an interview. For other consulates, nothing needs to be sent to the consulate in order for the interview to be scheduled and packet 3 is paperwork that needs to be brought directly to the interview.

Does your evidence make it clear that you are more than just cousins? A lot of people make visits to family and take pictures with them. It doesn't mean they are in a romantic relationship.


we have pictures of us kissing but other than that, how can we prove our relationship through pictures?


You can and should have other evidence besides pictures - letters, chat transcripts, phone records, etc.


Yeah I sent all that to my lawyer, I sent some e-mails and some of our conversations through MSN messenger


All of the evidence of a bona fide relationship does not need to be sent with the petition. Your lawyer should know this. All they are concerned about at this level is whether you are both eligible to marry and you have met within the past two years. Once USCIS approves the petition and you are at the interview stage - that is when you need to show evidence of a relationship. Your fiancee will have to bring all of the evidence to the consulate for the interview. It sounds like you have the evidence you need, just make sure your fiancee is prepared for additional scrutiny because you are cousins.

If it is legal in your state, then I don't believe that it will be a problem in terms of eligibility. However, you may be scrutinized more closely at the consulate during the interview - they'll want to verify that you're not pretending to be in a relationship with your cousin so that she can immigrate. Make sure you have plenty of evidence of a bona fide relationship.

His illegal status in Italy won't be an issue if he goes back to Tunisia. Yes, there's a possibility that he could be denied the visa and then he'd have to stay in Tunisia, but it's a risk that he'll have to take, since the consulate on Naples will not process a visa for him if he is present in Italy illegally. My advice would be for him to go ahead and get the police certificate now to see exactly what you'll be facing in terms of waivers.

I couldn't let the sleeping dog lie on this one, I just have to walk up and kick him. wink.gif

First, I am not "play"ing anything, especially "oh my god", whatever that is supposed to mean. In my post I stated opinion (not "judgement" as another poster potentially inferred, I say again potentially) which is my own, naturally. You can say what you want about "most of the people i now" (hmmmm...."now" - too much usage yourself there? wink.gif - hahaha - joke), however "most of the people I know" didn't ever try drugs, even my father. None of my friends, and noone I associate with. Essentially, I have had the exact opposite experience in my life to yours. So again, the "most people" you are referring to is based on your life experiences only and my whole point is to not associate that experience with others by blindly applying it to the USA (or world) population as a whole. That's when it includes me and that's when I take issue.

This is not a judgemental post, just FYI.

Ok enough. Got work to do.

Y'all take care! Good luck to everyone who is waiting in the queue!

UM.....WHAT??? A portion of your post is extremely difficult to understand and WOW - you must live in a perfect world to have so many people around you who have never experimented with drugs. The OP asked a simple question - wasnt trying to pick a fight or point fingers accusing the non drug users of being drug addicts...dont take it so personal. Dang.


Yeah, it was like someone said that there was something bad or wrong about never having tried drugs. But I must have missed that post...

Please help. During K1 medical of course they will require drug test... I'm sure most people have used drugs at some point of their life. How long will the drug stay in your body? Or does it depend what kind of drug it was used? What if it's just mariajuana or weed? What if you took it 4 months ago or 6 months ago will it show on the medical results at the embassy?


Racerly,

Well if I was so inclined, I'd take offense at your original post and even your followup saying that "some people" do drugs (I believe that is what you said). Thankfully such things don't bother me too much anymore, I've mellowed out since turning 35. Don't know what was so magical about that year, but I digress. Anyway, the drug thing and associated testing. I've never touched the stuff personally and can't imagine doing so. Peer pressure? Sheesh, yeah right, I told them to go **** themselves. As another poster has said, I therefore don't worry about drug tests, have at it. I do agree that it's kind of a hack of an industry as yet another poster asserted, but heck what I do know? I don't even know what the term "Lucy" means and don't wanna know (so noone tell me, I am happy in my ignorance). I've never drank alcohol either. These facts are one of the larger reasons I could not find an American woman (they're amazingly intolerant of a non-drinker, almost always saying something to the effect of: "...you don't drink? What's wrong with you?" -groan- and "You're not a man if you don't drink." -BIG groan-). My Olga and I have this in common (no drinking, smoking, etc.) and it's one of the reasons we're compatible (and how). But now I am way off in the weeds, so I'll bring this around full circle. I will ask politely that you keep your commentary restricted to yourself, it's all anyone can really speak about with any authority anyway. Everything else is pretty much conjecture. Pretty much.

Take care,

Jerry



This is the mellow you? rofl.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDrug Use
Well given that an "official" stat on lifetime marijuana use comes in at 40%, I would feel pretty confident in saying most people, once you factor in everyone who lies about it and people who have tried other illicit drugs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp on Filling Egyptian Name on K1 Form
My husband's name has four names and a family name. We used his first and second name as the first and middle and then left out the others and put in the family name as the last name. That is what his passport shows as well. They will know his other names since they do a name search but for simplicity we decided to do this so that when he gets his license he'll only have three names.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVISA APPROVED!!

Congratulations!! I flew home from Paris this morning, and wanted to check in on you to see how it went today. That's fantastic!! You must be so excited!

Aww! :D Yeah, this is VERY good news for you! You guys don't have ANYthing to worry about! Painless medical, a really funny doctor with a good sense of humor, no objections to getting the vaccination supplement, no looking at evidence of ongoing relationship, no tough questions - it's gonna be a breeze for you two! Larig told me that after their interview but I was still worried, so take it both from me AND Larig - Paris is an easy embassy, you guys have nothing to worry about!


I will start to believe.... we went through his entire packet when I was there, and I know we're in excellent shape. But you know how it is. We'll be the only couple that they ask for the certificate that says there isn't a star named after him or some other nonsense! LOL

Congratulations again, and good luck with the apartment!! He'll be here soon!
