K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIN WHAT PORT OF ENTRY MY FIANCE CAN FETCH ME

hi all! in what port of entry my fiance can fetch me if i have lay over flight would that be in the fist airport or in the second one?

 

thank you so much

 

You will clear customs and immigration on the first airport on American soil you will touch. That is the definition of POE.  If your fiance wants to accompany you on the remainder of the flight, he can meet you there, although he will not be allowed to accompany you to immigration. 

 

Congrats on the visa & have a safe trip!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo i need I-94 to process my application

I lost my i-94 at the immigration service can anyone tell me how I can replace it  or do i need it.

 

If you actually received a I-94 upon arrival you will need a replacement.  You will need it for your AOS.  You can request it by following the instructions in the link below:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused about Travel date

Don't worry about the medicals or the police certificate.  You are good to ENTER the US up to the expiration date on your visa.

 

It doesn't matter when you travel, so long as it is before your visa expires.

 

Good luck and congrats!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs there a time period to enter US after receiving visa?

Before it expires.....six months from date of issuance.

 

This.  In addition the visa will have the expiration date stamped on it which may not be exactly six months, so make sure the beneficiary enters the US before that date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSame sex petitioner in not legal state

My fiance lives in a state where same sex marriage is not legal. We would like to ask for clarifications regarding the ff:

1. What additional documents or evidences do we need to prove that we will get married in a legal state?
2. Will i be able to use her last name when we're already married? And what will be my status when we go back to her state where same sex is not legal? Since we plan to live there.
3. How much does usually a couple spend for the whole k1 process? Around 3-5,000usd?




1- You need no additional clarification. There is no presumption nor is it required that you get married in the state where the petitioner lives.
2 - You will be able to change your last name upon marrying her. If your state does not recognize all couples, you will not be considered married there. There is no flip side to it, other than tax-wise. You can file your federal taxes jointly but you may not be able to do so in your state. Other than that you will be a legal resident of the US once you complete the AOS process stateside.
3 - You should expect to spend about $2-3K once it is all said and done.

Congratulations!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarriage between first cousins

Bring documentation that you will marry in a state where it is legal with you to your interview as well. Provide a copy of the California law that states it is legal there for first cousins to wed. You just to need show that you will marry in a state where it is legal. It is the same as for a same-sex couple. You have to marry where it is legal to do so, not reside where it is.

 

 

yup yup - if the USCitizen has clear residency proof of NOT being in Texas, at the time of interview,

and

the beneficiary presents this,

then

 

mischief managed ! 

 

 

The USCIS has no presumption, nor is it a requirement, that the marriage take place in the state where the petitioner resides.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarriage between first cousins

The question then is this: it is impossible for us to get this visa? USCIS didn?t just say ?NO? at our response for NOID ? We can prove in some way that we really want to get married and go to live in California? Or do you think it is best to wait until my boyfriend finally transfer and redo all the documents again?

 


 

It is not impossible at all.  Even though you can't get married in Texas, you can do so in several other states.  By marrying in California, as you intend, you will be legally married.  Even if you were to reside in Texas, your California marriage would still be valid, as would a marriage in any other state.

 

Congrats and good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdenied past visas

Thanks for all of the input! He applied for the work visa when he was 17, (which was 8 years ago actually, not 5) it was a work program through his university, after the interview they just didnt think he was "mature" and ready enough, but didnt give any other reason such as paperwork, background etc.

 

It sounds as though their reasons were non-prejudicial.   He should have no more issues getting the K-1 visa than anyone else.

 

Good luck!!

Hi everyone,
 
I'm new here and just started the process for the K1 visa TODAY. I have almost everything ready to send but I just had a question that I thought some of you might have experience with. My fiance was denied a work visa to the US in the past (5 years ago) Do you think that will affect our case now? 
 
Thanks in advance!!!! 




His past denial will not affect your petition for his K-1, provided it was non-prejudicial.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMisrepresentation??? HELP PLS

What you did was not misrepresentation because you did list him as a friend.  There is no category for 'boyfriend' so 'friend' is the correct term.  You should not have any issues with your K-1 visa based solely on that particular.  Just be honest and truthful during your interview(s) and dealing with the US consulate in your home country and you should be just fine. 

 

Congrats and good luck!

The US would invalidate visas issue in a certain country following a breach in the consulate of something of the kind.  I honestly doubt that would be the case in the Ukraine at this point.

 

As soon as your visa is on hand consider routing your flight to the US via a connecting point.  Non-stop flights will be the first to get booked up.

 

Good luck and stay safe!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it possible to file a K1 visa while living abroad?

Yes it is possible to file for her K-1 while you are still living abroad.  Some consulates allow for co-sponsors for K-1 visas so you will need to check with the consulate in Vietnam, presuming she still resides in that country.

 

One thing to bear in mind is that she will not be able to leave the US for at about 5-6 months after she arrives, until such time when she has her EAD/AP on hand, which means she will not be able to come in, marry you and leave the country with you for a while.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFree to Remarry - Texas Divorce Definition Help?

I filed for my Divorce in Dec 2013. It was Final and signed by Judge 4 Feb 2014. I signed I-129F on 12 Feb 2014, that I was free to re-marry and filed the I-129F on 24 Feb 2014. 

 

I was recently told that you have to wait 30 days in Texas to re-marry.  So since I signed the form only 8 days after my divorce stating that I was free to re-marry, Did I Lie....OMG....Please help,this is a nightmare and driving me crazyhuh2.gif girlwerewolf2xn.gif

 

I would not lose any sleep over it. I don't believe you will be denied.  The 30-day waiting period is not a requirement of the feds.  Furthermore, considering the timeline, by the time your petition is processed the 30 days will have elapsed.  More importantly so, is that there is nothing that would suggest you acted with ill intent.

 

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling fiance visa, but my Fiance is a refugee

 THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY smile.png

 

do you know if it looks bad that his is a refugee and he would be using a different passport then that of the country he is living in.

 

Side question how long should the letter of how you met should be?

 

His country of residence not being his country of citizenship does not help nor hinder, provided he is a legal resident of that country.  It is quite common for Egyptians to seek residence in France - asylum or otherwise - because of previous and existing ties between the two countries; that should not seem odd to anyone.

 

There is no format for the letter of how you met.  You need to make it concise and include only pertinent details, but the length will depend on the actual narrative. 

 

I hope this helps!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling fiance visa, but my Fiance is a refugee

If he has residence in France - albeit temporary/refugee - you can apply for his K visa, provided you meet all other qualifications for a K-1 visa.  He will not have a French passport until he becomes a citizen of that country.  For the US Consulate what matters is his current country of residence.  He may need to present his refugee papers to the US Consulate when he is called for his interview.

 

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does ESTA effect K1 application

My ESTA Status did not change.

 

As far as I know are you allowed to travel under VWP ESTA to the US during the K-1 process until you get the visa. Once the visa is in your passport you can not choose to travel under vwp and have to come into the country with the K-1 and get married in 90 days.

 

good.gif

 

Indeed you are.  The ESTA refusal is connected to the overstay in all likelihood.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does ESTA effect K1 application

I have following situation: 

In July I overstayed a ESTA VWP 10 days. 

Our K1-petition got approved last month and I just filled out and submitted the DS-160.

Of course, I truthfully answered the question about the overstay. Now an hour after I submitted the form, I got a email from Esta, saying my status changed and I should check my Status. They now changed it to "Not authorised to travel into US". Is that a normal step, what they always do when you submit DS-160? Or didnt they even realise, that I overstayed and now they changed it because I told them? Is that even possible, that they checked the ds160 this quick and already made changes with  the esta because of that?

 

Of course, I am scared now, that they will deny the visa because of that...

 

Has anybody expieriences with a case like that?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Your VWP privilege was canceled as a reusult of your overstay, therefore the IO may not grant you a tourist visa.You may need to just sit tight and wait for your K-1 to come through before you can travel to the US.  On a positive note, the overstay should not affect your K-1.

 

You did the right thing by disclosing the overstay.  It is recorded in the system and your ESTA would have been flagged.  Had you lied, it migh have affected your K-1 negatively, or worse, you might have been refused admission at the POE if you tried to re-enter the US under the VWP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGET MARRIED WHILE STILL IN AP FOR K1

 

Not quite sure you can force end of AP via writ of mandamus -  it's DOS, not USCIS - USCIS has done their thing by approving I-129f. DOS can take as long as they need to take to process AP - seen how long some people have been in AP in Pakistan or Afghanistan?

 

Thanks for keeping me honest! :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGET MARRIED WHILE STILL IN AP FOR K1

Thank you for your suggestions I will inform my lawyer although I think we cannot appeal a k1 if denied. There are no red flags in our case only two that i could think of is he age difference i am 12 years older and I was seperated at the time we started our relationship but divorce was final 8 months later. We have been together for almost 2 years we have over $3000 of phone records I have gone to see him 10 times I have all my flights countless pictures with him and his family. He has a clean record physical came back perfect. I just dont see it. I have replayed the interview over and over again to see where we went wrong and we answered the same questions separately. Sometimes I think maybe I shouldnt have gone to the interview maybe they wouldnt have drilled us so much.

 

 

Your lawyer is correct in that there is no appeal for a denial.  The writ of mandamus however, is not an appeal.  It is a court order compelling the USCIS to reach a decision on your case.  It is one way for you to force their hand to either approve or deny your fiance's K-1.  Contrary to what you may think, the USCIS will not simply deny it to comply with the mandamus, so it may be a way to escalate your visa request, if it should sit in AP for a long time.  Talk to him [lawyer] about it and find out what he thinks...

 

 


JohnR!MaleMonaco2014-04-02 12:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGET MARRIED WHILE STILL IN AP FOR K1

spoke to my attorney he says if within 1 month of AP I dont hear from them we contact them to get an answer if denied the AP is cleared and he recommends to file for the I130. The only reason I think i would be denied is because Cuba is a high risk country for fraud and they might have thought that we were a fraud couple. lets see I will sit tight and wait a couple of more weeks but I wont sit and twiddle my thumbs and wait long cause I already know how this is you have to insist. :protest:

 

As a suggestion, ask him about him filing a writ of mandamus, instead of the I-130, and force their hand?  Looking from the outside it would seem the next logic legal step.

 

None of the reasons for AP - be it suspicion of legitimacy of the relationship, or life details of the beneficiary, etc - will be dismissed or lessened if you get married.  Your marital status will not affect AP and if you get married and file for I-130 you will be looking at a processing time of 12 months if all goes without any delays, and chances are, in the end, your husband will still be placed in AP once again.

 

I do not presume to know of your circumstance, nor do I presume to know your case better than your lawyer, so please take my comments as unqualified opinions and suggestions only.

The condition of AP is related to the beneficiary, not the process itself.  Getting married and filing for CR/IR will not make AP go away.  Just sit tight and wait, I would suggest.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshas anyone gotten married on the VWP

 

You, or your significant other came from the same area it appears, although it seems like it was during a time period where there werent serious issues there. What would you have done in my situation, honest question. I am just worried that something could happen that would close the US embassy in his home country and then we would not be able to go forward with this at all. 

 

Just my 2-cents:  Do what you think you need to do and be prepared for the consequences.  Having said that, the USCIS will not be lenient nor will they bend the rules for the reasons above, so keep that in mind as you make your plans.

 

Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOver Stayed Visa previous

You do not need to disclose this information unless you are asked specifically.  However she will need to disclose it as part of her process further down the road. Depending on the length of her overstay she will need to obtain a waiver as part of the K-1 process, otherwise she will not be granted her visa.

 

Check out this link:

 

http://travel.state....ion-date.html#4

 

What if I Decide to Stay Longer and am Out-of-Status with the Department of Homeland Security?
  • You should carefully consider the dates of your authorized stay and make sure you are following the procedures. Failure to do so will cause you to be out-of-status.
  • Staying beyond the period of time authorized, by the Department of Homeland Security, and out-of-status in the United States, is a violation of U.S. immigration laws, and may cause you to be ineligible for a visa in the future for return travel to the United States. If you overstay the end date of your authorized stay, as provided by the CBP officer at a port-of-entry, or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), your visa will generally be automatically be voided or cancelled, as explained above. Select Classes of Aliens Ineligible to Receive Visas to learn more.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting the US after receiving the K1

We have been approved, the K1 is in my passport.

I intend to emigrate and marry in the summer.

Before this though, I would like to take a short holiday in the US (under the visa waver program).

 

So, I would like to travel to the US but not use the K1 that is already in my passport.

I've only found one thread about this online but no reference to rules or personal experiences.  

 

 

So!  I would like to ask you all 2 things:

 

1 - Does anyone know of any policies about this that they could link to or reference?

 

or 2 - Has anyone actually done this?

 

 

 

Thank you for reading!!

 

It will depend on the CBP when you arrive at the POE, his/her decision being final; so don't count on being able to come in under VWP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you need a Passport?

So my fiancé is a refugee living in france, he was granted religious asylum thank God in march, but he doesn't have a French passport. I went to immigration to ask the officer before I submitted my application for the k1 visa and he told me not to include any of his asylum documents in the file because it will only slow things down. When I asked how he can enter the US if he is God willing granted the visa she said that he can be given a one time pass to come to America since he doesn't have a passport yet and cant get one for a while. Now I never heard of this one time pass so I just want some assurance or information about it, I have been reading different forums and everyone says they go into the interview with a passport so I am getting nervous please help thanks!

 

He must request a French refugee travel document.  I am not sure what the precise route would be but I would recommend he seeks further info at his local Mairie..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDilemma - Old Tourist Visa w/ Wrong Spelled Name, and New K-1 Visa w/ Correct Spelled Name

 

Looks like 9a,9b,9c are for petitioner and 10a ,10b,10c are for beneficiary.  Either way I see what you mean to just go ahead and disclose it.  

 

I can also send in a copy of her official NSO birth certificate that has correct spelling along with my I-129f petition.  What happens when she goes to interview and they have the record of the old misspelled birth certificate still from her prior tourist visa to the USA?  Will she be okay as long as she shows her new BC and new passport with correct spelled name to the interviewer?  

 

thanks for all the replies.......

 

 

You're right... 10a & b... Sorry...

 

When she goes to her interview all she need do is show her corrected BC and explain she had it done.  For all intents and purposes it is as though she had changed her name, except in this case, the modification was small enough to justify a redaction on her BC.  The important thing is that her name be the same in the new BC and passport.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDilemma - Old Tourist Visa w/ Wrong Spelled Name, and New K-1 Visa w/ Correct Spelled Name

Greetings,

 

I will make this short and simple.

 

I'm in the process of filling out the I-129f form so that my fiancee can come live with me here in the USA.  There is one thing that haunts me with Question # 15. on whether or not she has ever visited the USA before.  

 

-My fiancee's original Filipino birth certificate was misspelled.  One letter in her first name was left out.  She was still able to get a tourist visa last year to come and visit her sister who had petitioned her.  

 

-Last year she got her birth certificate fixed to the correct spelling of her name through NSO.  

 

So......On question 15 should I check the box that she has been in the USA or not?  Will it just complicate things even more and confuse USCIS if i do check it since that was with the wrong spelling of her name when she came here on the tourist visa?  

 

In a way I'm lying if I check "no" that she has never been here before when her and I know she has.

 

Im worried about it and would like some feedback.

 

thanks,

Evan

 

The truth is that she has visited the US so if you lie on the application it will quite possibly delay the process.  You will be able to disclose the name under which she traveled to the US in questions 9a & 9b.  She did not do anything wrong.  She simply changed (or corrected) her name.   You are over thinking.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Documents Collected By Custom Officers at JFK?
It will be easier to have someone at her home country get a certified copy and courier it over to her in the US. You will have a hard time getting the USCIS to return any of those documents to you.

In addition, since she is a foreigner, she should not need her birth certificate for the marriage license. Her passport alone should suffice.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, but that wasn't the question.


I am sure someone has entered the US with an opened envelope at some point. That answers your question but does not address the real issue.

The envelope is to be opened only at the POE upon arrival, so if you know of someone who opened an envelope by mistake refer him/her back to the US consulate where they can re-seal it. A K-1 showing up with an open envelope at the airport may be denied boarding.

You're welcome.  You need an address where you can receive NOAs and in the event of an RFP.  Also in most cases, your passport with your visa will be mailed to your address, rather than handled over to you. You will also be required to present evidence of lawful residence in the country where you are applying.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen is the right time to file

Nothing's wrong with stacking the deck in your favor. I think it's a given that time spent together is one way to stack the deck. But I don't think it makes a relationship more valid just because more time was spent. I mean I will admit that the nature of an LDR changes things. Would I personally have wanted to move in with a woman after just 7 days of having met her in person? I cannot say. But technically, from the moment I first say Betty in person, we were living together until she flew back to Germany. No one would move in with someone they've never seen, so LDRs are their own monster with its own set of pros & cons. But I had a feeling & I'm pursuing that feeling. It's a feeling that undoubtedly would not have developed as fast had I have had this person around me all the time & been going on dates & all that jazz. But I just don't feel that it devalues a short file I-129F one bit. The inherent challenge is convincing the Embassy that it's not devalued despite its short tenure.

 

For the record, I don't think that anything makes a relationship more or less valid, other than the effort, love and respect both parties put into it.  Certainly not time spent together before or after marriage is the only defining factor.  In that, we agree.


JohnR!MaleMonaco2014-05-19 14:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen is the right time to file

And what are you suggesting, that everyone's circumstances are ideal where you can actually live with your SO for years before you file anything. Some people in the world, including myself, make the same decision that gun-shy people make in much less time. Does it mean our relationship will last? No. But neither does waiting for many years. It's a gamble either way. Having already been in a 10-year marriage, the woman who captured my heart was not allowed to have a "you must know me 50 years before we get married" ultimatum.

 

So to answer the OP, the time is right when you feel in your heart like it is.

 

I was not suggesting that at all.  I was suggesting that the OP take the time to get to know the person with whom she is planning to spend the rest of her life.  That was my opinion and I made it known.  I was suggesting that cases like yours and the other poster are exceptions to the rule. 

 

I completely agree that the heart knows, but then again, what is wrong suggesting one might wish to stack the deck in one's favor?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen is the right time to file

 

Of course some things suggested here are simply impossible for a Filipina.  You cannot just "come over" and visit him now can you?  I met my now wife on-line on DIA in July 2012.  I flew to Cebu to meet her September 2012.  I proposed that week and we married 7 days later.  I stayed there with her for 30 days then went home a filed a CR-1 visa.  I visited her once more for 3 weeks then went back home to Hawaii and we waited for the paperwork to complete.  I then returned and met her in Manila in July of 2013 to attend the interview with her.  She was approved and we flew together to Hawaii and the rest is history.  The difference here is that I decided I wanted to marry her within minutes of seeing her in person.  Whetehter that made a difference to the consular officer I will never know but our relationship was only 6 weeks old when we married.  So I think you are just fine with a 5 month relationship.  You have met face to face already.  Just submit all the proper paperwork and you should be fine.

 

Good luck but most importantly, God Bless

 

I believe however that your case is the exception to the rule.  It was based on that premise that I said IMHO one should need to get to know the person with whom one is committing to spend the rest of one's life.  A visit, some time spent being together is a good way to get to know someone and it beats the alternative of just jumping in on a whim.  Everyone says taht when you know you know, including divorced couples.  It was not a judgment call.  But again, to each his or her own.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen is the right time to file

I meet him 2yrs ago when i was in states last 2012. But our communication suddenly disappear and we didnt save any proof of our communication.

 

All the same, you hardly know him, so it would behoove you to get to know him before you make a lifetime commitment.  Have him come visit you and spend some time together.  Come over yourself and see how he lives, who his friends are, etc.

You can find the requirements for a K-1 visa here --->  http://www.uscis.gov...a/fiancee-visas

 

 

It may sound strange to the USCIS if he should apply so early after meeting you.  You may wish to get to know him better before committing to changing your life for someone your hardly know.
