K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Drugs convictions - Will the USC have to note them down?	FWIW, being charged with drug possession is related to drug use. Since he doesn't have 3 convictions then the answer is no but you should have copies of the court documents showing the outcome of the cases as it isn't uncommon for the interviewer to ask a Fiancee about the USC's criminal history at interview if they find something in the background checks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Major Roadblock or Just a Bump	Right on the money! She was approved yesterday!!!! A ton of weight was just lifted from our shoulders. Congratulations! Just be sure she doesn't return to the Philippines before heading to the US or she may get stuck in the Philippines. She she is found trying to leave the Philippines with a US Immigrant Visa (K-1 is dual intent) then she will need CFO Clearance which they will not issue to a K-1 holder who is still married in the Philippines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Major Roadblock or Just a Bump	Just to be clear, she is not the petitioner in the divorce. In Japan the process is a mutual divorce although that may not make a difference. From your earlier post, "She divorced this man in Japan." kind of implied that she was the petitioner in the divorce. I know the Philippine Gov't does care who initiated the divorce, if the Japanese system doesn't distinguish then I can't guess how they will handle it. We will try to figure out what our options are in the Philippines. One thing we will not do, is delay being together. I understand wanting to move forward with your lives but haste is what created this situation (her not taking the time to get her Japanese Divorce Recognized in the Philippines) and further haste & impatience can make it much worse. Is she never planning to return to the Philippines? I know a couple who have a situation where the Philippines will never recognize their US Marriage because she (a filipino) divorced her first husband (filipino) in the US while she was here and then Married her current (USC) Husband. Her first husband passed away less than a year after never knowing that his wife had remarried. She's no longer a bigamist but the Philippines doesn't recognize her current marriage so when they travel to the Philippines he can't get the 1 year authorized stay that the rest of us can and they're worried about their ability to retire to the Philippines (him getting the resident visa) because of it. She waited for her first husband to pass away to travel to the Philippines also out of concern for being prosecuted for bigamy.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-06-02 10:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Major Roadblock or Just a Bump	We intend pursue an annulment or petition for recognition of foreign divorce in PI, but we can do it while we are together, not as a condition for the K1. Since she is the petitioner in her divorce she will never be able to get the Philippines to recognize the foreign divorce. That only works when the non-filipino spouse is the petitioner and the filipino is the respondent. For getting Annulled in the Philippines you will still have problems. She will need to return to the Philippines and if they get wind of her new marriage then they can prosecute her for bigamy. To compound problems, if you marry her before the first marriage is annulled then she will not be able to get the Philippines to recognize her marriage to you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	DENIED 129F NO RFE	1. has anyone heard of denial w/o notification or reason given. (someone was helpful with an answer to that ) Searching VJ for I-129f denied will give you several examples of this and a couple of people have replied in this thread with examples. 2. Why would the officer suggest the action he did. So if no one knows then don't answer with opinion about our possibilities. Actually that has been addresses as well as possible. We can only guess but the two most likely reasons: 1. Incompetent (not uncommon for US Gov't employees who are difficult if not impossible to fire. 2. They misunderstood your question or answered what they thought you were asking ("How can I get my daughter to the US before her 21st birthday"). Just the answers to the questions WE ASKED are all we are looking for. If only everything was as simple as that, see number 2 under my response above, maybe the USCIS employee was doing just that. We are trying to be helpful here. As has been pointed out even with an approved expedite at every stage what you want/need is simply impossible: Each expedite takes a week to approve (USCIS/NVC/Consulate) so there's 3 weeks. Transit time from USCIS to NVC is current taking 3 - 4 weeks, we're up to 6 weeks at least. NVC takes at least 1 week to assign Consulate case number and send it out, that's 7 weeks. Let's be optimistic and say it only take 1 week from NVC to Consulate we're at 8 weeks already and your daughter celebrated her 21st birthday last month! Even after the Embassy gets your file it takes at least 1 week for them to process it so you can get an interview scheduled, so here we are 9 weeks. Now there is no point in thinking about how quickly your consulate processing can happen because we've already missed the deadline. Unless your US Citizen fiance can get a high level government official to walk your new I-129f through the process in 1 week which includes them personally flying the packet from US Citizen => USCIS => NVC => Consulate you simply don't have a chance of making the needed timeline. I really am sorry but that's the reality of your situation. Edited by Bob 4 Anna, 20 July 2011 - 03:20 PM.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-20 15:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	DENIED 129F NO RFE	In the meantime we have actually spoken to a lawyer. That is no longer the process or requirement. There have been changes to USCIS procedure and the only requirement is to arrive in the country before the 21st birthday. Nor is there a requirement for me to be a citizen. http://www.americani...t-6-29-2011.pdf It is not a case of just wanting to hear what we want to hear... it is a matter of not needing peoples negative opinions when we would rather receive accurate factual advice. I am sure most people requesting assistance are aware of the problems they are facing. Even with that you daughter must enter the US with a K-2 Visa before her 21st birthday. See the part where it says K-2 Visa Holder's age is fixed at the time they enter the US? You will not be able to get through Petition Adjudication, NVC pass through, in country Medical & Consulate Interview in less 4 weeks. If she enters on a tourist Visa then she can't adjust status based on a K-2 Visa as she'd need to return to your country for the Visa interview and even if the Tourist Visa entry froze her age (which it doesn't) then once she leaves for the interview (K visas must be processed at the consulate) she would lose that. So you're right the very recent decision does changes things a little bit but not enough to help you.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-19 14:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	DENIED 129F NO RFE	I am the beneficiary (mother) and We haven't missed anything yet...Obviously we are not trying to include her as a family member. We are trying to get her included as my minor daughter. We are looking at the option of filing a petition to re open once we get and read the denial letter. No one is suggesting illegalities... we were worried about her possibly not being in the country by the time she turns 21, When that was mentioned to the Tier 2 immigration officer he said we might want to consider her coming in on a Tourist Visa. We are just wondering why he suggested that. We are really only interested in positive feedback, not critical retorts. There is no reason to take offense at my comments, I was not being critical of you. For her to become an LPR nowish she will need more than to simply be in the country before she turns 21. She needs to be here and have filed for AOS. Put simply that isn't going to happen. I was critical of the USCIS Misinformation line and the drivel they fed you. I'll repeat what I said: If she arrives in the US before her 21st birthday... Your US Citizen Husband can't petition for her because he married you after her 18th birthday. You can petition her but since you are an LPR she will be in a family preference category and no immediate Visa number is available so she will have to wait years for a Visa number. While waiting she can't simply overstay her visa because the overstay would actually make her inadmissible and bar her AOS. By the time you become a US Citizen, she will be over 21 and again subject to a family preference category. If by positive feedback only you mean you want someone to tell you that you can get her here before her 21st birthday and then get her LPR status then no honest VJ member will give you that. Even if you were able to get an expedite (which I can't imagine for this reason) getting from initial petition approval through the NVC to Consulate processing in 4 weeks is simply physically impossible.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	DENIED 129F NO RFE	It was suggested by the immigration officer at the service centre that she could come in on a tourist visa... why would he suggest this ? why would this not be possible? Because Tier 1 is populated with inbred morons who know less about the process than my 4 year old does! Since you're marrying her mom after her 18th birthday you can't petition her as Immediate Relative. As LPR her mom can petition her but she can't go out of status and adjust in country. Once she turns 21 she doesn't qualify for Immediate Relative and will now fall under family preference which means waiting years. Again she can't go out of status and adjust in country. Am I missing something here? You had one bite at the apple, K-2 & AOS prior to 21st birthday, you missed it. Edited by Bob 4 Anna, 19 July 2011 - 12:29 PM.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	Ahhhh, ok I understand. Well, it was our intent originally that he come here to visit, marry, he goes back to his country and then apply via K3 or CR-1. That would be legal Now I'm curious, which way is easier (or shall I say which way do you get better positive results from) -- K1 or CR-1? In my opinion neither is easier but the CR-1 Visa has the benefit of being cheaper in the long run and results in a Greencard immediately upon entering the US so he can start looking for work, get a Drivers License immediately. K-1 may be quicker to get him here only by 4 - 6 weeks.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-26 15:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	OK, I'm fairly new with all of this immigration stuff and I'm looking for clarification because my attorney told me it was illegal for my fiance to come to the US to marry on a tourist visa. She said it's considered immigration fraud. Is this incorrect or am I the one getting things confused? If your intend for your Fiancee to enter the US on a Tourist Visa (or VWP), then marry you and Adjust Status to stay that is illegal. If you intend for your Fiancee to come to the US, marry you and return to her country while your application for her immigrant Visa is processed then there is no problem. If your Fiancee enters on a Tourist Visa (or VWP), you marry and suddenly realize that you can't bear the thought of being apart for 7 - 12 months for her Immigrant Visa to process so you file for AOS then there is no problem. The key is Intent at Point of Entry, if she enters on an Tourist Visa (or VWP) with the intent to immigrant then technically she is committing immigration fraud. If CBP suspects immigrant intent they can deny her entry. The catch 22 for USCIS is that at AOS time they can't deny solely on immigrant intent, they need to prove that the immigrant misrepresented their intent at POE. For example CBP finds all of the documents required for AOS and wedding plans in her luggage (yes they to random checks) so they ask her about it and she lies denying having a US Citizen Fiancee. They have essentially set her up for Material Misrepresentation.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-26 14:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	They already have plans for her to go back to Lithuania so they need information on the correct way to do this now. That would be withdrawing the K-1 and filing for a CR-1 (I-130). This is the correct thing to do and I encourage them to stick to this plan. Personally I don't care whether they had intent or not or if/what problems it causes at AOS. Everytime someone comes on a tourist visa or vwp and adjusts status it just proves that the consulates are correct to treat every visa as an intending immigrant and makes it harder for everyone else. Don't let your personal feelings on Tourist/VWP AOS could this issue. I personally hate it when people use Tourist/VWP with intent to AOS before they even enter. I personally would like to see AOS from Tourist/WVP to be removed as an option because it does get abused and if gone it would make it easier for some people to get Tourist Visas. That is irrelevant, the OP can have his wife remain and AOS in country. They won't break any laws by doing so. When someone wasn't trying to skirt the law I have no problem recommending they avoid the heartache of separation we had to endure and use the loophole to AOS.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-26 12:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	It's irrelevant. They can't deny solely for preconceived intent. That practice ended with the BIA decision in Matter of Battista in 1987: http://www.uscis.gov....html#0-0-0-310 ... If you have research that contradicts what I've said above then please share it, especially if you have evidence that USCIS is denying AOS because the applicant had a previously approved petition. That would be a bombshell to some of the people in the second AOS forum here on VJ. Thanks Jim...	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-26 07:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	In theory they can't deny her AOS. In practice, completely different. I see it happen all the time. There are a lot of immigrants in my area (San Diego). I've seen numerous people try this route, and have been denied. You're in San Diego, which seems to stand apart from just about every other region when it comes to how hardline USCIS is on grey areas (example the AOS for VWP Overstayers, they were the hardests of all and held-out denying even after the official word went otherwise). Also, unless you know every single little detail of the cases you can't say for certain everything that lead to the denials.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-26 07:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	But in this case they had applied for a K-1 already which means she DID intend to immigrate, and then she went to the US and married him before she was legally allowed to. Doesn't the fact that they had applied for a K-1 already mean that she intended to live there? Not picking a fight with you or anything, just trying to understand the situation. I am definitely not an expert. All it proves is that she had intent to immigrate at some point, plans change all the time. If CBP suspected immigrant intent they could have denied her at the border for that. During AOS USCIS cannot deny only because the believe or even can prove that she had immigrant intent at POE. What they can deny AOS for is if they suspected immigrant intent and documented, then got her to make a statement that she has no immigrant intent. Sometimes they will even write NO AOS if they allow someone entry under these conditions. For USCIS to Deny AOS they need something in addition to immigrant intent such a misrepresentation. That is why CBP would do the whole "pulled into secondary and grilled like a chicken" routine, they let you paint yourself into a corner and get you to sign a statement that says you will absolutely return to your home country. They also document the proof of current immigrant intent (like bringing all of your worldly possessions or the documents required for AOS which would have no other use while just visiting). So was the OP's wife grilled in secondary or just waived through? Honestly even if she was asked the purpose of her visit and she said to marry and return that wouldn't bar her from AOS unless CBP could prove she misrepresented her intent (as in my example above).	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-25 16:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiancee Visa Question	This is absolutely incorrect. OP already shown immigration intent and when you are entering on B2 you are stating that you are not planning on staying. Obviously, if she enters and stays she was planning on staying. This is not a court room, they do not have to prove conclusively. I researched this matter very deeply. Please, do not give advice that will hurt OP on the long run. Where in this thread did the OP state that they intended for her to remain after the wedding? Entering the US to get married does not equate to immigrant intent. It has been established that USCIS cannot deny on immigrant intent only, they must have other factors such as Misrepresentation as I gave in my example. In fact from the OP, " My now wife plans to go back to Lithuania on August 5th since she can't stay in America on a tourist visa." clearly states that she lacked current immigrant intent at her POE. As for your chastising me I would give you the same advice as this is now the second thread where I've seen you give poorly formed and incomplete advise. There is nothing preventing them from filing AOS for her without her returning to her home country.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2011-07-25 16:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question/s about AOS	May I know why would this be a good idea? Will he be asked questions too? Because it shows that he is willing to go to the effort & expense to be there in support of you. Also, if he is there and the IO is on the fence about your relationship then they will have the chance to speak to him and even see the two of you together.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question/s about AOS	My fiancee has disclosed this information of his disability only a few months back, and I have known him for more than 3 years now, time includes being friends before we started dating. Having said, I have not known his finances until a couple of months back, as well as his condition. He's not disable as seen in the naked eye. I am not comfortable to disclose what his disability is, but what he's having has prevented him from working a full time job. There is no need to disclose any of it here. I would advise you to be ready to talk about the "evolution of your relationship" in your interview. You know how it progressed from just friends to a deeper connection and be ready to talk about how you felt when he disclosed his disability and financial situation to you. Even if they don't ask you these things it's best to be prepared and not caught by surprise... I would probably be a good idea for him to plan on being at the Embassy with you on the day of your interview, again just in case.	Bob 4 Anna	Male	Philippines	2010-05-05 15:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question/s about AOS	Well CR-1 is the choice for you as the trend at the Manila Embassy seems to favor young college students or recent graduates who have a promising future earning potential when there is the need for a Co-Sponsor. K Visas have the Affidavit of Support reviewed at the Embassy while CR Visas are reviewed by the National Visa Center. Now please understand that the next part of my reply is not passing judgement in any way. I'm just making sure you understand some things that may be considered Red Flags at the Manila Embassy... The fact that your soon to be husband is disabled and living on such a meager income may be of a lot of concern to them. It can look like one of a few things is happening: . 1) The marriage is for your immigration benefits and he will receive payment after you get to the US and secure employment. (Both scamming USCIS) . 2) He is sincere but you are pulling the "I Love You" Marriage Scam to get to the US and leave him once you have the 10 year Greencard. (You scamming/using him) . 3) He is looking for someone the "take care of him" and has offered you a free ticket to the US in return for this. (Him scamming/using you) Again, I am not saying that I think any of these is the case, just making you aware of the fact that you interview at the Embassy might be more difficult than most of the reviews you'll read here. Good Luck with everything... Are you going the CR-1 route? because if so it is NOT AOS, therefore if you are planning the CR-1 route (which means you marry before going to the US) then your topic title will need to be changed which only a moderator can do. AOS = Affidavit of Support... Thank you for your reply, Filipinawife0210. Any takers on my third question? Write a formal letter explaining why he was not required to file Federal Income Taxes, he should cite the exact law and provide proof if his income/source.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR1 help	Oh,that sounds better lol, more relaxed now. So when the visa expires, i don't have to leave my family and come back here ? i don't understand that still. The Visa is good for one use to enter the US and must be used within 6 months of issue. Upon entry it is replaced by the Greencard so the Visa is used and no longer good. Instead it is the Greencard that allows you to not only stay in the US but to also re-enter if you visit another country. And, about my education, i got bachelor degree in electronics and communication but from Egypt, will i be able to work as an engineer? or my education wouldn't be accredited? That depends on the industry you work in and any accreditation/licensing organisations here. Often times a professional will have to take the US version of accreditation testing (such as NCLEX for Nurses) so you'd find better answers for this from a professional association. hey sorry i forgot to ask about Selective Service also. I'm 24 years old and i read if i was between 18 and 26 i should register there. but i dont understand, i would only be green card holder, so how come ill register there without being American Citizen, right?
