K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	My fiancé income will continue in the US, can he use the income?	If his income is being derived from the UK he can use that money, no problem. As soon as he becomes a resident he will have to include that in his tax returns though. Until he receives his EAD he cannot be hired in the US or be involved in any working activities that would require his employer to report his income to the Fed & State government. In other words, he cannot accept work in the US or receive any monies in the US related to work performed in the US. If I understood correctly the money of which you speak is being deposited in the UK and he is drawing from his UK bank account. Is that correct? Edited by Gegel, 30 July 2012 - 08:35 AM.	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance visa	No, you need your birth certificate. EDIT: You won't need it until the interview stage, though. In the meanwhile, it would behoove you to obtain the original and make the necessary corrections so your dad's name match on the certificate and passport as well.	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Once i have k1 can i still enter on my b2 or crewman visa?	1343855044[/url]' post='5575614'] yes most of our flights are to USA to be honest, so when I do have my interview in London I will make a point of asking the officer there if I can still use my crew visa. If I get to the US with my crew and they insist on the K1 being activated, I'm afraid my crew will have to go home without me! x Take your crew ID along with you for the interview. That may help you explain your situation, corroborate your story and facilitate any exceptions that can be made, if there should be any. Good luck! Edited by Gegel, 01 August 2012 - 04:16 PM.	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Booking Flights to US from UK	1342788993[/url]' post='5541788'] I want to book my flights over to the US (L.A) for when I move. I heard that you have to fly into New York first to cross the border and then fly internally onto L.A. Does anyone know if this is correct or not? Many thanks : ) x You must clear immigration and customs at the first port of entry in the US. So, unless you take a non-stop flight to LA you'll be going through the arrival formalities at the first airport you touch stateside. It makes no difference however, for the procedure is the same at all airports.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-07-20 08:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Do not plan wedding?	Sorry that I open yet another topic in one day but this question doesn't fit in my last one. On the receipt of the form I have to send to my Consulate in Amsterdam the following statement is made: (http://amsterdam.usc...nstructions.pdf) How do I interpret this? I thought it would be a safe bet to set a date for the wedding after we get our NOA2 and that it would be especially safe to set a date if we know the interview date. How do you guys do this? Did you set a wedding date before or after the interview. If before, did the interviewer ask about this? I'm not willing to lie, so if it's wise not to plan anything, then I'd rather not plan. I can't help but think my last sentence was a bit cryptic : o) That is a standard disclaimer. It is just a reminder that your visa is not approved until it is approved. Anxiety sometimes takes the best of people and some end up jumping the gun and preparing themselves to travel on a date that is unrealistic vis a vis their process. Since there is no set date by which your visa must be approved, it would be unwise for you to plan on any dates for your trip or wedding. In other words, just carry on with your life and wait until the process is complete before making decisions in regards to quitting your job, selling property, booking tickets, etc. Just sit back and relax -certainly easier said than done... Good luck!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-06 07:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	marrying at exactly90th day	1343614747[/url]' post='5566964'] i jst have a question,, when i get there in the US can we marry at exactly 90 days of my stay? on my 90th day we will marry? or like 85th day? coz we have to adjust our status right? would it be alright to marry on 90th or 85 because we want to save money first before we get marry.. is this going to be a problem or no? The date on the I94 is the last date on which you should marry and fulfil your promise, the condition under which your visa was issued. It would be very wise not to wait until the very last day. Get 'er done!!!!!!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-07-29 21:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After USA Wedding - how soon can she depart?	Chrys lives in Brazil If you end up getting married and she heads back home, make sure that while she is there and you're here - if you're not planning to live in Brazil - you do keep in constant contact and visit as often as possible and $$ feasible, as evidence that your marriage is bona fide. With a good job - as the one she is about to get sounds - and income she should not have a problem getting a visa. The reason many get denied is because the presumption is that they are potential immigrants. In her situation, she would have every reason to stay after the wedding, so that and the job might make it easier for her to get a tourist visa, until her CR/IR comes through. On a different subject, check the requirements for you, if you change your mind and decide to marry her in Brazil instead.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-07 14:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After USA Wedding - how soon can she depart?	Excellent observation. The CR-1 may indeed be the proper means to move forward. If we get married in her country then upon my return I file for the CR-1 (i.e I-130)? You should initiate the process with the I-130 approx 12 months prior to her desired arrival date in the US to stay and establish residence in the US. Incidentally, what country is she from?	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After USA Wedding - how soon can she depart?	Our plans are for her to reside in the USA - eventually. I do not know the term "AP". We are thinking as of now she will remain in her country for a least a year before making the permanent move. The objective for this year is to have the required visa to allow her in and out of USA without issue. I need to have a clear-cut plan of action as soon as she arrives for the wedding. I am not sure on the SSN requirement for my state (thank's for the heads-up). After we are married she can come and go on a Tourist Visa? She has alrady been denied a tourist visa but as a girlfriend not a spouse. By marrying you she will not be granted a visa to allow her in and out of the USA without issue. By marrying you she will become eligible to reside in the US, as a green card holder. The green card process takes time and has one main requirement: the green card holder must live in the US full time. Since she has no plans to move to the US in the next year, and needs to return to her country to work, she will not have the necessary time to complete the green card process and even if she did, she would have trouble keeping it considering she is not living in the US. If you are planning to move to her country, she should not have a hard time getting a tourist visa, so long as you can prove you have ties with that country. For her to get a tourist visa, the ties with her country will be her job and you, so in a way, by marrying you it may make it easier for her to obtain a tourist visa. If you are planning to maintain your residence in the US, she may have trouble getting a tourist visa, for there will be the presumption she might stay in the US and do Adjustment of Status. Ironically, AOS is the one thing she does not need to do, having every chance to, so am I not sure if that would look favorable to her. Good luck!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-07 14:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	After USA Wedding - how soon can she depart?	Hello VJ Friends, We are days away from filing our I-129. An interesting twist has been brought into the mix and I do not know the answer. My fiance has been offered a government position in her country which is truly incredible. The position she has worked and studied for many, many years. Notwithstanding the twist of the timing of moving to the USA but more so on the immediate future. We are guesstimating the K-1 will be complete with Visa in January-February 2013 time frame. She starts her new position January 2013. We are aware that upon receiving the K-1 she has 180 days to come to the USA then an additional 90 days to get married. The question is how soon can she return to her country after the wedding to meet her new job requirements? In other words, because of her new position she will not be able to stay long. We do not know what time she will have away from work. After the wedding what has to take place in order for her to come to and from the USA without delay? And how quickly can this be received? Thank you VJ friends. Dave If she has no plans to reside in the US permanently, as evidenced by her taking a job overseas, it would be useless for you to continue with the K-1 process. Although, if you do, once you are married, she may leave the country on the following day, in which case, you will need to do an entire new process for CR/IR visa once she is ready to move to the US full time. Until she is ready to move to the US, she can come and go with a tourist visa. Edited by Gegel, 07 August 2012 - 01:55 PM.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-07 13:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Mother traveling with beneficiary at POE with K1	Any help??? For the purpose of the forms of which you speak, nobody will accompany her to the US. That would be the case of minor children immigrating with their mother, if she had any.. Your fiancee's mother is coming to the US as a tourist and since she is not immigrating she needs not be mentioned in the visa paperwork. If your fiancée is immigrating alone, nobody will accompany her in your petition, for immigration purposes. I hope this helps.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-13 21:08:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Employment letter question	My fiancee is submitting our Packet 3 today. My employment letter that she is submitting (along with all the tax returns, K-1s, paychecks etc.) is dated July 20, 2012. I have been with the same firm since 1991, basically stayed with the same firm right out of law school. We reckon our interview will be in about 2 weeks time or so. Should she bring a more recent letter or is within the last month good enough? Thanks. In addition to what everyone said, send her your last three bank statements as well. She may not need it but if they have questions they can draw information from the movements in your checking account.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-15 20:38:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Who pays in case they turn you away?	That makes sense, thank you. Here is an additional thought... Suppose you were waiting for your K-1 and wante dot visit your fiancé/fiancée in the US. It is not illegal to do so. If you are in that situation, you're better off telling the CBP office that you're here for a visit of X days and that you'll be visiting your fiancé/fiancée. If you feel hte officer is doubting your motives, you can up the ante adding that you know full well that if you were to enter the US and try to stay that would constitute fraud and a consequent ban for life. Offer to sign a document to that effect as proof you're here just for a visit and had no plans to stay. I know a person who did just that and was let through by the secondary officer. Make sure you have a return ticket for the date on which you're supposed to return. Good luck!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-20 09:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Who pays in case they turn you away?	I'm talking about them turning you away when visiting while waiting for the Visa to be approved and not when you have the Visa on your hands. Unless we're talking about the same thing, in which case, I apologize! You're responsible for the return ticket. Again here it will depend on the fare rules under which the ticket was issued.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-20 09:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Who pays in case they turn you away?	Well, the question is pretty straightforward. In case the officers turn you away at Port Of Entry and you literally have to take the next available flight home, who pays for you to go back? Do you have to pay yourself or is it covered by your roundtrip ticket? Does anyone have any experiences? On a K-1 visa it would only happen if something changed in a drastic way. However, in the unlikely event someone gets turned back on a K-1, the person is responsible to get a ticket back home. If the person has a no-minimum-stay required ticket, then the return portion can be used for that, otherwise, only the airline can tell you what to do, for it depends on the ticket the person has purchased and the rules associated with the fare.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	RFE for divorce in China	the divorce in China was supposed to have been final in 2009! however, the only thing i have to prove that is the Documents she emailed me, which are sadly lacking signatures. I have asked her for final signed copies but she has cut off all communications with me. I wouldnt even know who to contact anymore in China to get any info about her or our divorce. Anything i can do stateside, Annulment? If those documents are accepted in the US as proof of divorce you are fine, otherwise, you are committing fraud by filing for a fiancee visa while you're still married. Bear in mind, that the USCIS knows you are married, from filing the I-130 for your wife, so they will require that you present proof that marriage was terminated. If you are unable to get a copy of the final decree, you can file for the divorce here in the US. Good luck!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-27 14:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i have few questions plss help	first is ,, once i arrive in the US which one i should do first,, get married or get a SSN number? can i get SSN after i get married? i have 90 days to get married if i get married before my k1 visa expires can we file the AOS few months after the wedding? or we should file AOS right away.. Im leaving the philippines this `16th of August and getting married on October.. can we file the AOS december are we going to have a problem if we file late then we are going in other state for christmas.is it ok to travel without filing the AOS yet? can someone tell me what i should do first to avoid having a complication on my stay.. any advice will be appreciate..thanks in advance.. My suggestion. Get married first and file for AOS immediately afterwards. There is no time-limit for AOS, so long as you do marry within the 90 days, conditional of your visa. However, get on and over with it sooner than later. You can travel to another state, within the US, no problems. There is no preset order that you need to follow, except that your marriage must take place within 90 days of your arrival in the US. Good luck and congrats!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-27 10:01:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	not approved yet,more evidence my fiance income	My guess is they lost the W@ she brought last time. But to be save, as they have a willing co=-sponsor, I would submit that paperwork too. I remember replying to a post from Erika a few weeks ago. At the time, evertything was in order, but they needed her fiancé's pays stubs from 2012 which indicated the rest of the documentation was in order. I suspect that at that time they put her process in a docket pending further financial evidence, and whoever is now looking at the docket probably sees the W2 but not the tax returns, and has presumed that the tax returns were the reason her visa was being held back in the first place.

I`m Erika from Brazil and I need your help .I had my interview for K1 visa on 07/24/2012 and the consul asked me more proof of my fiance`s support .. because in 2011 he stayed in Brazil for 10 months and just declared 2 months of taxes ... Anyways i went back to the consulate in the same day and I took with me the paychecks that shows from january till july of this year he made $35.000,00, and after two weeks waiting for an answer, I got an email saying that I wont get my visa yet because I still need to send those documentos: Financial Support: (X) Tax return - 1040 (X) Petticionary of 2011 or transcription .. (X) W2 ( X) Petticionary of 2011 .. But what I dont understand why they still want those documents if i took in the interview ... What do you guys think Should I do right now ?? Should I send again the same documents ??? I have doubts because They didnt make clear if i need a co-sponsor or something like this .. I guess if they wanted it they could say right ?? . Any help right now will be welcome .. Thank you so much Sincerlly, Erika Erika, if you already have these documents, the consulate may need to see them again. Just send them in.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Lawyer or No Lawyer	There is nothing that a lawyer can do, that you can't do yourself. A lawyer can't expedite the process or make it easier. The process is what it is for everyone. You would need a lawyer if there were something shady or out of the ordinary with you or your fiance. You can get tons of help here, at the USCIS site and other places, so if you are the git-r-done type you can do it yourself and save some money.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-08-30 14:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Timing issue	Hi guys, As my fiance and I were talking about the petition yesterday we realized we might have one really BIG problem. The plan is to file for the K1 now, so that by the time he leaves his post abroad (he's a marine) in May and starts his last 11 months in the fleet I can tag along. However, he won't know until a few months from now which camp he'll get. He could get Hawaii, California or North Carolina. None of those would be an issue. But what if he gets stationed in Japan? I mean he would still take leave and we would both spend about a month in Michigan, get married, start the paperwork. But if he has to go to Japan and my adjustment of status hasn't happened yet, can I go with him or do I have to stay in the US by myself? Would the base in Japan be considered US territory? Argh, it's so confusing :-p Any thoughts?? If you are coming in on a K-1, you guys get married as soon as you arrive and file for your AOS immediately thereafter, including AP - advance parole, which would allow you to leave the US while waiting for your greencard. Regardless of sovereignty, if you leave the 50 States without your parole or green card you will not be able to get back in. If you know in advance that your fiance will be based outside the 50 States, another option would be for you guys to get married in the US and instead of doing AOS, you can accompany your husband to another country and start the CR/IR process there, so you will enter the US with your permanent resident visa/greencard on hand, as a LPR, on arrival and endorsement of your visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Keeping passport after K-1 interview	Hi I currently have my K-1 interview scheduled in a few weeks in Paris, but I have a pretty big problem as I've just realized they'd keep my passport and I need to travel abroad right after the interview (not to the US)... so I need to have my passport back with me, and I can't easily cancel that trip either! Has anyone else been in that situation? Is it possible to mail in your passport a couple weeks after the interview date? Is there any way to cross the border without actually having your passport (doubtful)? Thank you for your answers Yes.. You can request a second passport with which to travel. Most European countries allow their businessmen to have a second passport for those instances where passports are retained at embassies/consulates waiting for visas.	JohnR!

If the reason for their denial was lack of tied with home country you should be OK. The main difference being that on a B visa you were expected to return to India, whereas on a K-1 the presumption is that you will enter the US, marry, proceed with AOS and stay as a legal resident. Good luck with the process!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-09-18 13:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I want to propose to my GF who is on tourist visa	1348259304[/url]' post='5706769'] My girlfriend is coming to visit me from Russia on a tourist visa, I am a California resident. I would like to propose to her as I know we both very much want to get married to each other. I meet the minimum financial requirements and have no other issues which would prevent us from getting married. Questions: 1) Should we apply for a marriage license while she is here? 2) I assume she will have to go back to Russia after her visit and than I would have to file for K-1? 3) Do I have to wait for her tourist visa to expire or when should I apply for K-1? 4) Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark Mark, you can propose and get married and she can apply for her green card in the US. However, that is quite often the road chosen by those who attempt to circumvent immigration laws and you may end up having to deal with additional scrutiny, in the form of questioning and/pr visits by the USCIS. What you're doing is certainly not a crime or a violation but it may be a rocky road with the USCIS, especially if you marry soon after her arrival. It all may seem suspicious to the eyes of the USCIS. One of the things you need to consider is that if she is coming to visit she may not be prepared to stay away from home for months, for she will not be allowed to return to her home country until you file for her AOS and Advance Parole, which is her permission to leave the US once the process is started. All in all you're looking at the time you'll need to plan the wedding, get married, apply for her green card and receive her Advance Parole, which may be months, a period of absence from her home country for which she may not be prepared. Even if you're considering living in the US, she may not be ready to abandon everything back home without preparation. In the end, the decision is yours. IMHO it would be smoother to apply for a fiancée visa, and you can send in the application while she's in the US or even get married, file for a CR/IR visa while she is here, followed by her return home once her authorized stay in the US comes to an end. Consider that chances are she will be given 6 months upon arrival here on her B visa, so by the time her time is up, she would need to go back home and get started on the documentation she will need to process her CR/IR visa anyway.

My problem is, I filed the 864 for my ex-mother-in-law, whom has returned back to her home country. Now I will be filing for my fiancee'. How do I prove on the new I-864 that I am no longer liable for my ex MIL, since she's left the US for more than 2 years now? Have her return her greencard at the nearest consulate and officially end her LPR status.	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-09-17 12:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can a Beneficiary cancel the K1 visa process?	hi everyone on VJ! anyone here knows if I (beneficiary) can cancel the visa application? My fiance has been soo mean to me. I gave up a lot of things for him. I am a nurse and because he doesn't like my schedule he asked me to stop. I didn't want more fighting so i quit the job and try to be always available for him. But he never treated me fairly. He also didn't tell me that he was divorced four times. When i got sick, he accuses me of pretending and just seeking for attention( which is nonsense to me because he's not capable of taking care of me). I took a chance on him and he was just putting on a big faked when i met him. I came from a decent educated family and this guy visited me in Philippines and spent 90% of the time drinking, cussed me in front of my mom and my grandmother. I met this guy in Philippines last year and he seemed to be a perfect guy; now i know that he was just putting on a show and he's just looking for a new ex-wife. Our visa process is now close to the 5th month since NOA1. What should i do? i want to move on with my life and not stuck up with this visa thing because i know that he's not doing anything to cancel it even though i asked him to do so a million times! As the beneficiary you can stop the process at any point you wish. Just break up with him - if that is what you wish - and do not seek to continue the K-1 process any longer. If you receive any communication from the USCIS asking for documents, just send them a letter advising you are no longer seeking to immigrate to the US. Good luck!	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Post Interview asking for forms that I do not have	IRS Tax Transcripts are free from the IRS and can be faxed to you within days. Moscow allowed me to email them documents; not sure about Manila. Email them and ask them. X 2... Don't send W-2s or 1040s. Send Tax Transcripts and you'll have nothing to worry about.	JohnR!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	HELP NEEDED GUYS!	I had a interview few months ago (k1 visa) and I was asked to supply additional documents as my fiancé was full time student and wasn't working a real job. The CO said I will issue you a visa when your fiancé finds and job that pays $21k an year. And my co-sponsor who the CO didn't accept at the interview make $35k an year, so I have been advised from people here that I should include her income with my fiancé income and send i-864 and i-864a along with fresh i-134 forms and tax transcripts. Do you guys think this is a good thought to send these documents along with my fiancés fresh pay stubs? And one more thing, my fiancé employer is willing to write her a letter stated that she is a full time employee and makes $19,353 an year. Lil, it is not uncommon for the USCIS not to accept co-sponsors for K-1 visas, so adding a co-sponsor, regardless of income, will not help your case. Worse than that, a letter from your employer which can't be verified nor corroborated by her pay stubs will end up putting your case in jeopardy. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do until she reaches the magic $21k income. Just be patient and roll with the puncher on this one... Good luck!	JohnR!	Male	Monaco	2012-12-12 13:45:00
