K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdepressed While being on AP please help & advice needed

Thanks emmy(ameena) for your respond I can understand about the 2011 tax paper but y my fiancee has to submit her tax papers she isn't working the guy said he was a pakistani last night I called dos they said me the same thing that they need 2009 2010 2011 tax papers and bank statement of my fiancee but I need to show the tax papers for joint sponsor not for my fiancee she isn't working she is the petitioner I asked the guy he was not knowledgeable he said in america. Even if someone isn't working has IRS tax it was shattering for me hear that how petitioner and joint sponsor both have to submit tax papers simultaneously I'm much distracted I will email the embassy and how did your senator contact the embassy through the same embassy email how and I know u well emmy my fiancee told me she talked to u through text and I'm not very far from adeel I reside nearby him thanks



Even if she can't financially sponsor you she still has to submit those papers. She is still considered the MAIN sponsor and then the co sponsor is the one that is that is showing financial ability... maybe that clarifies a bit? so yes every person calling their loved one even if they have no income has to submit tax papers etc...

The law states that all the income papers must be in the hands of the employees etc by the end of January. We are so close to that now. It's not that long. Have her work on the papers and get the joint sponsor info and by the time you get it altogether she can file electronically and have that back right away for sending the papers.

I know how you feel.. my husband and I have been in AP for over 6 months now still pending. You may very well get the visa after they get this info and review it. don't worry each day that passes is a day closer...

n btw im a friend of your fiance... just hang in there.. wish you all the best!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Visa. Please help
Islamabad embassy is a difficult one at best to go thru. Don't do anything stupid like this. Either go thru with the k1 and adjust status once your married here in usa and then go back to do the Valima with the family once you have your 2 yr card.

OR like Gary said.. withdraw the k1 application and get married in pakistan and then refile with an CR1 visa petition.

THEY will find out everything.. dont risk it. Choose one option or the other!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLost in the sauce

Thanks Carolyn!!! Ok I will be patient! I thought it was quicker than that so it is good to know we are still on time. LOL

BUT as far as this strange phone call..... that makes me a bit nervous about this police officer calling him and that my finace gave him all his details. You can never be too careful these days. Now I am really wondering what that was about. Hmmmmmmm



That is a little odd... never heard that one before.. usually the police certificate is done at the police station and done with paperwork etc and my husband got it within a couple of days with no issues and def no phone calls. Hopefully somebody else can comment that had that happen to them...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresABOUT THE PASSPORT
my understanding is when they are ready to print the visa they do one last check and if something else comes up they hold the visa until the check clears.... i may be wrong but ive read this so many times on VJ from other members that dealt with this and it seems very possible given our beneficiary coming from Pakistan ... so they will call you when the visa is ready im sure it wont be long.

so even if we met in person last 2008, we still need to see each other before filing the k1? thanks sara.. =)



Yes, that is the requirement of a K1. your fiance needs to make a plan to visit you again and then refile. Probably needs to stay two or three weeks if possible. Take plenty of pictures with dates, save all receipts of purchases and def save all boarding passes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIN AMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR 7 MONTHS NOW! K1 VISA, SHOULD WE WAIT OR GET MARRIED AND REAPPLY? PLEASE HELP!

I have heard that AP can last even longer, what if it last like 2 years? God Forbid! Thats why I am little scared. But you are right about waiting it out now, since we have waited 7 months now.



that can happen but if you look at the statistics its rare or its a common name like Muhammad that is causing the delay or its a family based visa that is waiting on a priority date to be current. the average time is between 5-8 months sometimes a little longer... dont read horror stories about AP you have to remb there are always things behind those long AP's that we may not ever know or is not shared with us.

we were told we were in normal processing so we are hoping to hear something within the next month or two. Hang in there!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIN AMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR 7 MONTHS NOW! K1 VISA, SHOULD WE WAIT OR GET MARRIED AND REAPPLY? PLEASE HELP!

HEY,
I am US citizen who applied for my Fiance Visa (K1) from Atlanta (vermont center) in summer of 2010, it Sring of 2011 she did her medical, police report and all that. June 16 2011 she had her interview at US Embassy in London,UK. We had a realationship for 10 years and showed all the proof, its a long story, we both are from Pakistan and Muslim. Our familes didn't agree for years but we both waited and waited. I came to London like 8-10 times in 10 years. Now my question is that after she had her interview on June 16,2011., we have been put on "Administrative Process", I have emailed the embassy and called them as well, but get the same answer., Its under Administratvie Process, I have called the Dept.of Visa in USA and I get the same answer. Last month I involved my local Senator, and he emailed them once in Dec.2011 and pretty much he got the same answer. What should we do? Do you think we should get married and apply again? I did have a pretty good lawyer, she really can't do anything as well, I had a metting with her last month, she told me "no one can touch embassies", they are by themselves. She also mentioned that if we change our status to Married there is no Gurantee that we may not get Adminstrative Process again. I just want some ideas, if someone had a same situation or knows someone had a same situation. I hope you all best of luck, I have been praying hard! Its really hard for both of us now, we have stopped our lives. It totally sux! Please help.



I wouldnt change your case now. It doesnt last forever. We've also been going thru ap for almost 7 months. If you change now all it would do is delay you for another year or longer. Just let the embassy finish thier work and you should see your visa within a few more months. The congressman we have told me they dont do name checks etc unless they plan to issue the visa if they were going to deny they would have done it at that time or right after the interview... denial could also come from negative background checks it happens but as long as you have clean records it should be finished soon ...There is no guarantee you wouldnt end up in a longer AP for CR1. Just sit tight and one day you will see the visa

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThinking past the Visa

In an attempt to get my mind off of the Visa interview (which is a month away) I was thinking about what my fiance will need when he finally comes here.

So I am wondering if anyone here might know what he needs to prove his degrees when applying for jobs. He has a Master's degree in Information Technology which was obtained at a University in Islamabad. Is the Diploma Certificate enough?

Also, is there any benefit to him getting an International Driver's License?

Thanks!



Don't know about your state but here in NC they don't accept international drivers license... but since i work for an international company i asked a gentleman who just opened an account with us about his license.. he said he is using his country license for 90 days and then he has to update to the NC license. They will add him to an insurance policy etc using that one and when he gets his new license he will update his policy reflecting the new one.

LOL i too have been searching this so when Adil comes all we have to do is add him to the insurance policy using his karachi license and he can study and take the test for his new one within 90 days.

http://www.visajourn...eturned-to-nvc/


This wasn't in pakistan but india.. they did an engagement and because it looked similar to what wedding pictures would look like they had real issues .... i think it's fair to say that the CO is the one who will interpret the documents and proofs of relationships and we don't know what their thinking will be therefore if it is even similar enough to a nikah then that is what it will be interpreted as unless they have undeniable proof it was an engagement party and even then it could be risky as to whether or not the CO will even look further into the case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa
The k1 petition will be denied at interview becaus as Inky said its for fiance only.. they are no longer fiance they are married. He needs to withdraw the petition and stop the interview letting them know he has married. Then he needs to begin a CR1 petition.

He just shot himself in the foot. He should have waited for the interview. Now he will have to start all over again.... A CR1 will take about 5-6 months for USCIS (if lucky) about another 1-2 months for NVC and the interview? well if all goes well it will be approved right away and visa issued or can take the course of AP and that nobody can tell you how long that will take so his process now will be between 8 months to a year or more.,

HE SHOULD NOT GO TO THE K1 INTERVIEW... it will be denied and if they go and don't tell they did Nikah then its misrepresentation and fraud which can lead to a ban from the USA.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDidnt met my fiancee in the last two years

Thanks again Pushbrk.

When I read these posts, and they appear every couple of weeks that I see, it never fails. The knowledgeable members give good advice to meet and then file. But someone has to come along and muck it up with some twisted interpretation to give the poster false hope.

Now looky here, none of us are stupid. The OP is looking for the fastest cheapest easiest way to apply for this visa. That is usually the case and no doubt it is in this case. The excuses offered are exceedingly weak so it is pretty clear what they want.

CHEAP EASY FAST

No problem. We all want the same thing. SO the cheapest, easiest and fastest way to be together forever is for the two people to meet in person, then file the petition. Advising anything else is not doing them a service.



i agree with you too... if it was against islam to meet before marriage then nobody would be traveling to pakistan to meet their fiance ... and i certainly wouldnt have seen my husband at the airport gates along with his family he would have been in another place until after our nikah... that wasn't the case he was right there at the airport he stayed in the same house as me before we married altho we werent left alone which was fine.. but after marriage everything was as it should be for married couples.

The OP is going to have a difficult time at best presenting a convincing case... without meeting in person and fulfulling the requirements for k1

Visa to pakistan is as much difficult to get as US visa.



Umm.. not an expert by any means but I printed the form off the pakistan embassy website, sent my letters of support from my husbands family, showed I have ties to USA and a letter of employment etc.. showed my drivers license copy and sent my passport with these docs to the Pakistan embassy with the form for a visit visa... 2 weeks later after sending I received my passport with stamp approved for my visa. No interview, no phone call nothing.. so how is that difficult by any means?

I agree with vanessa and tony and pushbrk

i had all those reasons too but i still left for pakistan beccause my husband was worth the effort and in reality while there is danger i was quite safe its all in how you do things. I didnt stay in a hotel but with his sister and brother in law..he stayed there after marriage... how else can one immerse themself into a family if they dont meet or know them? Had the most wonderful time, lovely people and city did so many wonderful things... where else can one send down a basket for some fresh fruit and have ppl put the fruit back sending it up?

Islamabad is very strict with their guidelines and follow those to the letter of the law. Wish you the best but traveling to another country if she wont visit pakistan was probably the best option and there are places you can go easily as well.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your help

Where the child lives isn't relevant as long as they're under 21. You are wrong that children under 21 MUST live with the parent (please read the I-864 instructions and the other link from USCIS I posted). I posted links for people to check for their personal situation (different situations, different answer) but I was responding based on the OP's exact situation.

The OP claimed the child on the 2010 taxes which is the most recent tax return. They don't need to prove the child doesn't live with them (this isn't relevant to whether the child is a dependant as I stated previously), they need to prove they don't claim the child on taxes, but they DID in 2010.

As you stated above, the child is above the age of majority in their state so would be excluded as long as they didn't also claim the child on taxes. They DID claim the child on the most recent tax return (which is the return they will be submitting to USCIS) and so they need to list the child as a dependant on the I-864.

Again, where the child lives isn't relevant. Proving the child doesn't live with them doesn't prove the child isn't a dependant. They need to file 2011 taxes without listing the child if they want the child removed from the household count (as it's claiming the child in 2010 that makes them a dependant).

Make sense?



She still has time to file those taxes as i stated in my first post earlier this morning.. they wouldnt be able to include a transcript because it won't be ready but they can include the new 2011 form with the w2's and anything else that shows their income AND shows that the child is no longer claimed on the taxes..
EAbbasFemalePakistan2012-02-22 18:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed your help

Where the daughter lives isn't relevant. She is her dependant REGARDLESS of where she lives per the I-864 instructions on household size: http://www.uscis.gov.../i-864instr.pdf page 2.


Also here: http://www.uscis.gov...html#0-0-0-1131



Vanessa & Tony that isn't quite true... While usually you do have to put the child under 21 on your household size IF they live with you, you claim them on taxes etc.. but if they have reached majority in their place of domicile (for NC it's 18) AND you don't claim them on taxes, don't live with you then no you do not have to include them. Instructions for i864 show this:

21d - Enter the number of unmarried children you have who are under age 21, even if you do not have legal custody of these children. You may exclude any unmarried children under 21, if these children have reached majority under the law of their place of domicile and you do not claim them as dependents on your income tax returns.

Hello VJ's i will like to know if my co-sponsor has not yet filed her 2011 taxes and my interview is scheduled mid next month,will it be fine if i turn in only her W2's and pay stubs as prove of income? Also what will i have to do to prove that her 18 year daughter do not live with her since she is on her previous 2010 tax forms?



They will probably expect to see the tax return she still has time to file and send the copies to the beneficiary. Since it won't be a tax transcript they should include the w2 and anything else showing income. (All copies of course)

As for the daughter, I had to show the same for my son so i got a copy of his bank record showing his address and my apartment lease showing who lives with me along with a copy of his drivers license which also shows the same address as the bank statement.

I agree...I know it isn't waht you wanted to hear but USCIS will know everything so don't move forward until you can correct this...then take care of the divorce...go back to pakistan and do a civil ceremony with a new date with new papers...file CR1 visa and then you may still have issues but at least now you aren't so far in you can't correct them....good luck to you...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling for K1 after nikah in Pakistan

That's right and in an Islamic country where the man has more than one wife, both would be considered his legal wife. However if he crossed the border to the US or some other place where only one wife is allowed and plural marriage criminalised then he would not be married to his subsequent wife.



My divorce was final after two years of waiting and when I went to karachi to marry my husband I had to bring certified divorce decree saying my divorce was final before we could even entertain the idea of nikah... we went to the masjid and had to bring the papers with me..we did nikah we received teh papers that day and while i was there had them registered and got a certified english translation of the nikah nama.

now we are filing CR1 visa and waiting. I agree that this will be seen as an issue for you because you didnt wait on the final judgment for the divorce. If you were not a us citizen it may not be too much of an issue but if you are a US citizen then you know the laws of USA and that only one spouse is legal at a time until the final divorce whether its a quickie divorce and takes days to finalize or like mine takes two years from time of separation to final signature from judge.

I wish you the best.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLawyer Aggravation

I'd really appreciate any advice folks can share on what value a lawyer adds at the point I am in the process.

The government received our completed application 19 December, so we're hoping to hear within the next month that we've been approved.

We've had three questions for the attorney in the six months since we began this process. The attorney won't answer my fiancee, ever. He takes a week or more to answer my emails or simply doesn't answer them. My fiancee and I are very organized and have been frustrated with having to send the same forms to the attorney multiple times. The last question we sent was not answered and I sent him an email noting that I was frustrated. I was very nice, despite my aggravation. He replied three days later that he was offended that I questioned his performance.

I can't deal with people like this, and I am used to dealing with professional attorneys in my daily life who excel at what they do.

My question is simple:

I've paid this guy and, ostensibly, he has executed the paperwork correctly.

Do I need him anymore? In other words, do I need to suck it up and pretend I like him until this is done, or can I sever ties now?

Sub-question: Once my fiancee is here and we are married, do you recommend an attorney for the green card process or should we file the paperwork ourselves?

Other Details: She is from the UK and will be bringing a child.



If you look on here most of us did not use attorneys unless our cases were either complicated in the beginning or became complicated during the process but for the majority of petitioners here... its a DIY... I only used an attorney when I had to get a clear statement that my QDRO 401k that sat for years was not job related and that i did not ever pay child support but only received it. That was after the interview.. the rest.. we did our selves without any RFE... so yeah you can boot the attorney and get the job done even the AOS just follow the folks who have already done it and research it and you should be fine!

We met online in June 2011 she visited me in uk then I came to UAE and then she came UAE and still we are together. She is 9 year older then me. Any problem going interview about this?



There isn't any problem with you going alone to the interview just be as prepared as you can and expect any kind of questions from this embassy...
Be sure to take your proofs of pics, chats, emails letters, anything to show your names on letters from the address in UAE if you were living togther... anything to show you have an on going relationship

I got my case number the end of last week. I called the NVC this morning to see if my case was forwarded to US Consulate. I was told NO since my case was entered in the system the end of last week and now it is going through additional processing. What does this mean? Does it mean more time to wait? :bonk:



It means your going thru AP at the NVC stage...seems they are doing additional checks at this stage for you... nothing to worry about and most times if you do the AP at this stage your visa is issued sooner after the interview... altho not always

Sabi is right.. we never were able to view our status online until after we were approved then it finally showed up.

When I called USCIS and asked them this specific question they said they do their best to log in all the cases but they are unable to log in all the cases and therefore it leaves some ppl without updates but he said it was more important to do the work on the cases than to update their website... I agree I'd rather them make sure the cases are worked on and completed and see the approvals move forward.

You can always call USCIS and talk to a tier 2 rep and see where you case is if they know anything.

In NC you have to split everything in half including debt even if your not making the same so I got half the debt making 5 times less and half of his 401k which I can't draw until 59 1/2 but can liquidate and/or roll over if need be not accruing the 10 percent penalty but only paying taxes only on the liquidation not the roll over ...if it was just a regular 401k not QDRO then the 10% penalty would apply for liquidation (per my financial advisers advice)

If that be the case it is HIS.. period... it doesn't stop when he remarries... but I do know of a customer who just retired and is separated and his wife and children living apart from him DO receive SS benefits because he is retired

I did find this info... http://www.ssa.gov/r...urdivspouse.htm


This kind of thing just really crawls me.. im sorry but it does... they have been given a chance for their happy ending and yet they are trying to get around the rules and requirements to fit their own needs when ppl like me just want to be together and yet we get stuck in the process waiting.. I would NEVER take for granted that my husband came here.. I would grab that opportunity and live life to the fullest appreciating the fact we were together and following the requirements and rules to the T so that we could continue our lives...

Good god I am the last person to suggest fraud I work for a financial institution and I know some banks allow customers to add an overseas person to make it a joint account allowing for legal use of debit card or add person to credit car as joint account holder

It's been done legally and successfully before but a lot of banks now require a ss number but some allow for joint account holders without it

And i was mentioning all the other items as well to see exactly what else they had submitted since even as an engaged couple you still make plans.. i know some k1 filers that have a debit card for their fiance for in case reasons... so they had already created some type of joint bank account or way to have an extra debit card in their fiances name

I know some of the stuff we submitted were pretty personal talking about our future or how we were planning for having a baby,


The OP mentioned about things not deep enough so that is why i mentioned this... as we all know if your engaged you WILL be talking about the future.. deep personal things not things in general all the time...

Even as an engaged couple you still make plans for the future..
