Also, someone coming along after is *sure* to have the same question. Often, unheard lurkers benefit greatly from the open exchange of information.


This is so true! I've already been benefitting a lot from many posts I haven't commented on. And I just noticed a few questions today that I wish I had asked before.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow to best use the 90 days prior to marriage k-1
QUOTE (Seattle2Cebu @ Oct 23 2007, 07:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
the rule is that a couple has to get married within 90 days. This is just a suggestion, but it
is based on experience. You could possibly save yourself a lot of grief and $$$ if you
will step out of your emotions and observe your fiance during this time. You can set the
wedding date towards the end of 90 days. Allow yourself to be a third party observer
looking in. Be alert to red flags and possible issues. Address any issues that arise. You
can end up deeply regretting it, if you choose to overlook problems and just hope
they will resolve themselves. There is a whole lot more to living as a couple than emotion
and feelings of love which can be exaggerated from a long distance relationship. Your
fiance may not express her/his concerns to you in an open direct way. The USA is a
big big dream for many immigrants and some will say anything and do anything to
be here. Dont think that you are immune to being taken advantage of. This is not to say
you live under a cloud of suspicion and doubt. Of course few people would take this
advice, because "they know" their relationship will make it. Dont be afraid to ask
hard questions and even seek pre-marital counseling prior to being married. Most of
all trust your gut. All of us have that little still voice or tug at our spirit that warns of
upcoming disaster, take a long long time to think about it before you get married.
There is nothing wrong with putting a key-logger program on your computer and monitoring
your beneficiaries email for a month. Find out what they are saying to people back home.
a little invasion of privacy is way better than having your life blown apart later, not to
mention the emotional devastation..

hopefully this will be rcvd in the spirit it is given..

thanks


I disagree with this advice. People should know each other well enough before filing the K1. The K1 is not for getting to know someone. That is supposed to be done BEFORE filing the K1.

People could save themselves a lot of grief if only they would do it God's way. smile.gif Sadly today's method of dating is not ideal and people get married based on feelings instead of foundations that are much deeper than feelings.

It won't delay your petition. I remember reading about that on the Homeland Security website, you can and SHOULD is what it said. They might have access to that when you go through the airport security but be completely honest if they ask. You arn't doing anything wrong so it shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

She is four. As far as sole custody goes, I have no custody order, however she has always been in my custody.

If its of any relevance when I've taken her with me to the USA in the past I've only ever used her Birth Certificate and I've never had a problem before. Obviously this is a little different than a two week trip however.

Just checked my online case status this weekend, and the day the Senator's office called to notify me they had inquired after my case and that they weren't able to "help" me right now is the first and only time I've gotten a touch...



I sincerely doubt that your case will be "punished" for having called your rep or senator. Your rep/senator might be less responsive or helpful in the future if you actually do fall outside the timelines. Boy who cried wolf kind of thing, but thats just my opinion.

I would assume the touch was from your senators office calling as you stated. They likely looked at it long enough to realize you're within the normal timeline and then closed it.

But again just my opinion. I think for the future, wait until your outside the normal wait times before calling your rep and/or senator.

Good luck and I wouldn't worry about it!

Thanks for the response..I should have spent more time on this site prior to submitting the I129F. I just found another mistake and, that is - I also submitted Western Union money transfers I sent to her..It was intended to show that I maintain an apartment in Peru since it is cheaper than spending money on a Hotel every month, according to some of these posts it may appear as though I am sending her money and that may draw a red flag..There was NO WAY i could stay in the aprtment she had when we first met 2 years ago



I can imagine that her sending you money would throw up a red flag that she in some way is buying this visa. You maintaining a dwelling in Peru however is likely not a cause for concern but thats just my opinion.

Best of luck to you =D

I don't think there will be a problem with this. If there is a problem you will receive an RFE requesting that information.

You could also since you have received you NOA1 submit a new G325A to the USCIS with the updated information. Just be sure include your receipt number and a letter explaining why you are resending the document.

You could get married on the visit visa however this would be a misrepresentation as previous posters noted. You're better off applying for a fiance visa once you return home, theres less hassle and the wait times tend to be lower for a K1 then a K3 (which is what your boyfriend would need to apply for if you were to get married on your visit visa.).

You folks are all great on this site..I guess we are in the same boat...

Good luck./


On the forum main page theres an RFE master list. First sticky topic at the top of the page. If you do get an RFE (although like Helloworld said its unlikely that if you get an rfe it will be for not having her fathers name) you will receive a notice in the mail asking you for additional evidence. Sometimes you will receive an e-mail and be able to view it online with your case status.

An RFE on average (according to igors list) will delay the process about a month. The good news about RFE's however is that it means someone has been assigned to your case and you are very close to getting an NOA2 provided you return the RFE with the requested information.

QUOTE (London bride08 @ May 8 2009, 03:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone,

I am a USC, got married in London in Oct of 08. Filled for I-130, was denied because failed to provide them with a Recorded or Register Marriage Certificate (due to Religious wedding, the Minister was suppose to do it but he did not).
Should I apply for Fiance Visa? Since I have already applied for I-130 visa and it was denied, will they reject this as well?

Some background: My husband is under Student Visa in UK for last 6 years. We met through our parents. Started our relationship by talking over the phone and by emails. Flew over in London to meet him for the first time face to face, and decided to get married (mine and his family also flew from USA to UK for the wedding). Came back and filled for I-130 but was not successful because the wedding was not registered in UK.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way I can get my marriage register there in London, even if I have to remarried. I am going back to London next month, I think I have to stay there for about 1 and 1/2 to get permission to get married in UK with a non-British.................

So many questions??? Don't know what to do??? And don't have any FREE $ to give away to USCIS as well.

Please HELP.


So are you legally married? I don't know what "religious wedding" means. Was it a party or did you sign a marriage certificate?

I think you best bet at this point is to figure out why you don't have a marriage certificate, get a marriage certificate and then reapply. Were you actually denied or sent an RFE requesting your marriage certificate?

QUOTE (trees @ May 11 2009, 06:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My friend entered the US on a K-1 to get married - the relation soured. He saw his old girlfriend who now lives in the states. They used to date back in his country. They are now talking about getting married before his I-94 expires (90 days) and he needs to leave the US. I told him that on the K-1 he needs to marry the person who petioned for him or leave within 90 days. He said that his old girlf friend spoke to a lawyer and that it could be done if they can prove it is a bonafied relationship. I told him I don't think it is possible. Any help would be appreciated. Also I was looking for other treads on this topic but didn't locate any.


When he goes to adjust his status and the marriage certificate does not match the name of the petitioner he will be required to leave the US and reapply as a K3, that however is only if he hasn't overstayed his 90 days. At the point that he has overstayed his 90 days he risks being banned from the US altogether.

Best advice tell him to go home and reapply for the K1 with his new girlfriend.

If you need any more proof than this read the I-194f.

3. Yes. Though photos are not considered "primary" evidence, your travel documents are considered primary evidence. I am not aware of anyone getting an approval without photos. You will likely get an RFE for evidence of having met prior to filing the petition. You need what is known as the "$1500 photo". Bon Voyage!


This concerns me a little, in out 129f package, we had put passport stamps, itinerarys and boarding passes for all of the trips we've taken back and forth. We don't have any pictures together however. I have pictures of him and pictures of myself that were taken while we were together. I also have bucket loads of pictures of him with my daughter but none of us together. Should I be concerned, we'll be visiting again in June and I'll be sure to take some for the visa interview then. But I wasn't aware that pictures were make or break, I thought it was boarding passes and passport stamps that really mattered.

Does anyone have any first hand experience about getting an RFE for not including pictures? Or better yet has anyone ever not submitted pictures and gotten their NOA2.

Hello everyone.

It's been quite some time since we've posted here and are just now about to begin our K-1 process. We have been waiting for quite some time for my final decree of divorce and it's finally arrived.

Our concern is this.

In my decree it states that parties are prohibited from contracting marriage with any other persons until (30) days after the entry of the decree, unless an appeal is taken, and that any marriage contracted before the expiration of that date shall be voidable until the decree becomes final. An agreement which waives the right to appeal from the granting of the divorce and which is incorporated into the decree shall be effective to shorten the period of time during which the marriage is voidable. My ex and I agreed to include such an agreement waiving the right to appeal.

I'm not looking for legal advise but I'm a bit worried about the wording of the decree since we've been planning to begin our filing as soon as I had it in hand. Thoughts?


Also, it's been a bit of a struggle to find the exact process one uses to facilitate the K-2 visa for my fiance's child. I think I have most of it nailed down, however there remains some gray areas. I've found conflicting reports about whether or not a G-325A is required for her child who is under 10 years of age. Most sources say no. I've also read that children under age 14 are not required to attend the visa interview in London and was curious about how the visa is approved and issued without the child being present.

Thanks for reading,

Troy


Can't help on divorce issue but if child doesn't attend interview I would have thought that she will just have to bring child's passport.


No problem at all. Our 13 year old (at the time) did not attend. He is in his mother's passport (I strongly suggest you get their own, saves trouble down the road) The mother can sign all forms for the child. You did need a passport for them or have them in parents passport (depends on country) There was not a question about why he did not attend. By the time we did AOS he was 14, had to go for biometrics and the interview byt they never asked him a question. He was pretty annoyed at having to do something so "boring" for "nothing". smile.gif I forgot how difficult life is when you are 14.


I'm glad I read this, I thought I had to bring my four year old to the interview. She is however required to get a medical is that correct?

Great, another case botched by an attorney. Immigration attorneys are parasites. They delay the cases by months at minimum. Sorry to hear you got swindled.

The G-325 which is required by all petitioners and their fiancess should be the second thing an attorney's secretary fills out after gathering all the information from you to fill in the blanks (yes, it is a tough job being an immigration attorney). His secreatry should do this before the second hole of the attorney's golf game.

All K-1s must have a "letter of intent" from BOTH parties. It must bear the original signature of each party. That means the attorney should have prepared this letter for you and you should have signed it. It is rare for the USCIS to send TWO RFE's, so I guess your signature was forged by the attorney. There's a big surprise.

Also, there is NO SUCH THING as " at RFE " OMG!!! Did the tapeworm attorney tell you this? It means he MESSED UP and delayed your case by weeks more than his golf games normally would. It is not NORMAL to get RFEs. They are sent to people who didn't pay attention to the rules and directions.

Instead, folks out here on VJ continue to assist. The Letter of Intent is very important - one now from each of you, and an updated letter from you after the petition is approved and you are prepping for your consulate interview. You already got the straight scoop on the G325A. Good luck and God bless.

I think that rather than taking all this time to bash lawyers we should focus our attention on helping the OP from here.... can't go back in time. wink.gif

For the OP...

Here is the Example letter of intent.

"original" g325 means it needs to (should) have an original signature. Be advised, there are 4 pages and each must be signed.

use the K-1 checklist to be certain that your lawyer included everything else with your petition. If you scroll a bit further down on the page you will find more information about what to send after the petition is approved. Read through the FAQ above and educate yourself to the process so that you can avoid further delays.

good luck to you.

I heard of another girl that showed proof that she was in college, she got a letter/certificate from her college stating that she was enrolled full time, maybe you can print something out/show proof that you are not allowed to work while going to college. Just show the most info that you can, and since you cant prove that much as far as income, i would recommend getting some co-sponsers.

thank you for your quick answer but do I need a co sponsor even though Im not the Us citizen?? should I send the documents with the G325a or wait till NVC ? thats what I heard so Im kind of cunfused

Sorry about the late reply on your other top. For her work history I just put some part time jobs she had done in the past and nothing else. I would just put that your a student and nothing else. But I am sure when you include a copy of your student card with the other documents the officer will know that you are a student and that most students don't work. You don't need a co sponsor. It's not possible to add documents outside of an rfe or the first submission of an I-129f. Even adding files at the nvc stage is risky since some ppl are there for two days. Just add it all now and you will be sure of it going with the orginal forms ect until your visa is approved. (the info the other ppl gave you doesn't apply to you because your not the U.S. citizen. They thought you were) So just throw in your student id card/visa along with "student" in the work history and you will be fine)

Thank you so much for your help, I think Im gonna send a copy of my study permit that says Im student, name of school and also that it doesnt allow me to work. could it be fine? and also what about the years in high school should I mention it with the name of the high school?

Hi everybody
we received RFE on the 10th march, they only gave us 2weeks and it took 1week to get all the papers they needed so now we only have till wednesday to send it back , my question is whats the fastest way to send it knowing that we gonna send it from Canada is there some express thing?? Im really afraid that after all the waiting since september this could be the end crying.gif

I was told once that as long as the letter is stamped with a date before the due date then that is fine. So even if you post today it will be stamped with todays date. However, they do express delivery from Canada. When I was in canada I express post to Australia and also USA - but it will cost you a few bob or many $$$ to do it.
Surprised they gave you only two weeks. We got an RFE and got 4 weeks to do it. Perhaps because Canada is next door.
Good luck with it all.
that makes me feel better, thanks and for the express delivery it would fedex I guess ?

when I printed the dates were not clear at all so I did them handwritten , do you thing its a problem if dates are handwritten and the rest typed ???

I made a mistake on the address that I didn't see until now when I was typing 3 pages I wrote on them ''Rosemont'' and the other one I don't know how it was ''rose mont'' with space its now that I noticed on my computer :s do you think its a problem too
and finally our RFE expiration day is 7th april what if I do another G325a and we send it Monday is it too late ???

Handwritten is OK. I doubt anything else will be a problem



care to elaborate? The OP wrote "rosemont" on 3 pages and "rose mont" on page 4. It is not a major issue, and I doubt it will cause a problem.

thank you all for your answer, god I feel better now. And for the lawyer the g325a is nothing she actually FORGOT THE PASSPORT PICTURES AS WELL AS THE LETTER OF INTENT !!!!!! can you believe this???! If I wasnt reading this website im sure they would ve just tossed our file with garbage as nothing was complete...anyways thank you guys for your help and my fiance is gonna hear me again about the lawyer Lol

Hi,

I wouldn't worry, but nothing works better than a phone call. Try tomorrow since is still Friday, but don't stress!

***by the way... get your money back from your lawyer... IT'S WRITTEN ON THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT YOU NEED THE G325a, if he is not reading he is just filling out the papers... anyone can do that!***

good luck to you!

I will call tomorrow but should I ask them to transfere to a specific office or just talk to whomever answers?
