K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAlready been married

Ive never seen this. The potential bene posting on VJ and not even engaged, and her boyfriend is still legally married. I thought I was a dreamer.





I dont think so, I filed for divorce early 2008. My ex fought me the entire way. It went through the courts early Oct. 2009, but the judge took forever to sign and it was legaly over early Feb. 2010. My now husband filed for me the end of March 2010. So even though it "looks" bad, it really wasnt, not in my eyes. During the consulate interview, I was asked about the quicky filing. I told the CO that I was legaly seperated early 2008, but b/c the ex fought me, it wasnt final until early 2010. This was the only question, and only answer to this scenario, I think if it was red flag material the CO wouldve asked more details, maybe some proof, I dont know, but it came across as a simple question, to which I gave an honest answer.


YOU don't think so, but what about an interviewer. People need top stop saying " I " don't think so because of course you wouldn't think so you went through it yourself and you know its nothing strange because you know what happened. When the interviewer looks at the forms they see the divorce and they see now suddenly right after the person is engaged from another country. They can see this as a potential red flag especially from some certain countrys. You have to look at thinks from an interviewers point not from your own.

There have been a couple posts even on VJ in the past where a person divorced their spouse and married soon after got their new spouse a green card and then the new spouse left them once they had the green card.

It can be looked as a red flag when they see the person files for divorce and gets engaged in a very short period of time.

Thanks for the numbers to press btw!! I spoke to Raquel (sp?) she was very friendly. Although, it doesn't seem as though London has logged our packet three even though we have tracking confirmation that they received it on Tuesday. Is that odd?


Not odd give it a week or two for them to get it out of the mail room and into the computer system.

I wouldn't use screen shots, just have her scan the pages, email and print the scans, you need the whole passport page not just a picture of the stamps. Also need the full bio page to go with the stamps. They don't need to be signed. Just need a full copy of the pages.

You will have to see a Civil surgeon in the USA and get your shots done/ updated. They can't technically deny a visa for not having the shots.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPregnancy after starting K1 visa & relocation due to Dubai laws

A few months??? From my perspective, I wouldn't think there would be such a long delay because we haven't reached NOA2 status so all the paperwork is still at the vermont center under review & should be just a simple address change. I would understand a slight delay seeing that it was after noa2 because everything would be in the process of being sent to the embassy abroad.

Anyone know anything I mentioned about dubai?


Like I said if its at the EMBASSY and you are transferring to another EMBASSY it can take a long time.

If you are going to change now and she is going to go back to the Phils now, it may not take that long. BUT this is USCIS, nothing is a simple change with them. You could call and request the change of interview place and they may still send it to Dubai in the end! Figure out if your doing Dubai or the Phils.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPregnancy after starting K1 visa & relocation due to Dubai laws
If you have to transfer from one embassy to another of course there is delay, they have to mail all your stuff it can be a few weeks to a few months delay.

As Ryan said -
There is no expedite because of pregnancy.

You should post this in the Canada section. There are tons of threads there on how long its taken to get passports back. Everyones time for passport return seems different. Quite a few people have issues with Montreal as well.

Of course they take your passport how else would you get the visa stamped in it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS questions
Everything must be new and current date. You are filing an entirely different application that has nothing to do with the I-129F papers that you sent in. The only piece they link up is the medical previously had in the other country for immigration. New passport photos, new forms new proof of relationship/marriage etc. Follow the AOS guide and post in the AOS section.

When your married you are responsible to look after your wife for longer than 10 years because shes your wife! your supposed to take care of her. Your scared of being responsible already and talking about divorce, not even married yet.
You may want to reflect on this. Make sure you actually want to marry her.

They said the petition expired not the visa. Generally the consul extends the petition automatically so the petition does not expire.
A petition and visa are completely different things.

AP can take a few months to a year or more for some people. No way to tell really how long it will take.

you should be stressing, your missing I-134 for the petitioner it is required regardless of no income. You also need to provide proof of why you didn't have to file taxes if you don't file them.

Also if you haven't already looked up the AOS process, that also has another affidavit of support and that one you also need to meet the poverty guidelines or have a joint sponsor so, her father will have to do it again for the AOS process which makes him responsible for quite a long time not just 1 year.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLosing US Government Benefits
Sounds weird! I would stop and double check this is really what you want.

Move to the USA and never work because he doesn't want to lose his food stamps? Most people do not want to be on food stamps or assistance!! they want to get out of that road soon as they can but he seems to want to sit there and just keep you sitting at home doing nothing.

Do you know why he needs the medical and cant lose it? I know medical coverage is expensive in the US but how are you going to get your own coverage if you cannot work? you cant use means tested benefits like he is!

Does not sound like a safe or happy environment to move to in the USA...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs medical exam still good

I am sure her Timeline clearly shows that she is married. Anyways, back to your question the medical is valid for 1yr.


I know her timeline shows shes married I also know she said HUSBAND in her question which is exactly why I said she posted in the wrong place. Moral of the story is do not post in the K-1 section post in the spousal visa section.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs medical exam still good
K-1s do not have husbands or else you cannot file a K-1.

So i'm guessing you posted this in the wrong place.
Most medicals are only good for 6 months for interview purposes.

After entering the USA on a K-1 then your medical is valid for 1 year only from the date of having it for AOS.

You need to post the full question not parts of it. You have to over come the fact they think your living with your ex-wife. You wont be able to fix it by just going and getting married and filing the CR-1. You need to find out why they think you live with your ex-wife and why they think your relationship isn't real.
