K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat DS-157 form to use?
I noticed that the DS-157 form will expire on Nov. 30, 2011. Do they usually update the form a week before it expires or earlier than this? I have my interview scheduled on Dec. 1, 2011 and I don't have any idea on how to go about what form to use since it will already expire at the end of this month.
Please help!

How applicable can the song "i knew i love you" by Savage Garden get? "I knew I love you before I met you... I think I've dreamed you into life..." That CO needs to get a love life of his/her own... With this kind of world we are living right now, your being hopeless romantic might save you from being cynical in this world.

Hi everyone! Just got my VISA APPROVAL this morning. And for everyone waiting for my interview result... Yeeeyyy! For the info of everyone, it wasn't a big deal i think for them, both the filipino interviewer and the American CO. They didn't even asked me about it. The American CO didn't even looked at our pictures. He just asked for my daughter's CRBA and US Passport. He even said "hello!" to my daughter's picture in her passport which made me laugh. And then that was it. No more other necessary questions made. He did all the talking. To end the interview, he just said, "well, i can see that both of you are free to marry, so you have 90 days to do this." But I still wasn't convince with what he said, so I asked, "what will I tell my fiance now sir?" He smiled and said, "Tell him, you're visa has been approved. You're going to be together soon, so see you." Upon hearing that, I laughed and replied, "thank you so much sir. It was a pleasure meeting you." He said, "a pleasure talking to you too."

my point really is that US follows the other countries custody and divorce laws. since you were not the one that was married I see no issue with Phil law. its not illegal to have child out of wedlock there. You broke no law. If they chose to follow US law well those things happen everyday here and they have no issue with your boyfriend. I think the problem is with Nigeria but thats only my opinion. I know nothing bout Nigeria law. Worse if you were the married one because they could enforce the Phil law but that is rare.) Hopefully someone who has been in your situation will reply but just relax and research ok ?



Okay... Thank you so much for your insights and encouragement!

We have already settled the problem with our daughter. We even undetwent DNA testing for the approval of our daughter's CRBA. My daughter is now a US citizen and has her passport.

As for the filing, as much as we wanted to be together earlier, we really waited for his divorced to be finalized before we filed the K1 petition. I was never married and he got his divorced finalized 2 months before we filed for the k1.

It's just that we met and had our baby before the divorce got finalized.... I really don't know and I'm very worried. I really hope that the CO will consider the fact my fiance's ex-wife moved out already months before we met online. (and this fact was written in their decree as well)....

PLEASE HELP!

I just read a while ago here in VJ about a k1 denial in Nigeria. He met his fiancee in 2008. But his fiancee filed for her divorce in 2009 and got finalized in 2010.

I might be having the same problem as this... Please shed some light with my situation sisters...

Here's my story:
My fiance and I met online June of 2009. He first sent me a question if I knew this certain person who has the same family name as mine. Before replying to his inquiry, I searched first as to who our mutual friend is. She was my co-worker who happens to have lots of relatives living in California, the state where my fiance lives. I thought he was my co-worker's uncle because he's 14 years older than me and was a Filipino too. So I replied briefly and politely telling him, "no".... From there, he sent me another message introducing formally himself and the rest was history. (but it was only after 1 month that I found out that my co-worker didn't know him at all... Hahaha!)
We agreed to become official and exclusive on August 30, 2009. He came home again here in the Philippines after 11 years of absence on October 2009 and stayed for over 2 weeks.
The story of his divorce was this: The divorce was filed april of 2009. His ex-wife moved out of their house march of 2009.
I got pregnant immediately after our first meeting on October-November of 2009. He visited me 3x already before the filing of our k1 because his divorce got finalized just this April of 2011. The divorce took that long because of settlement issues, the ex-wife demanded more from him financially. So he was able to petition me just this June of 2011. He came to visit again last july and stayed for almost 3 weeks to celebrate our daughter's 1st birthday.

My concern is, do you think I will be having the same problem too as that of the Nigerian case that I mentioned? Oh God, please help. I will be having my interview on December 1 at thr Manila Consulate already!

Hi!

Just wanted to aak if my fiance needs to send a notarized authorization letter to travel to the USA for our baby even if she is going to travel with me already (mother) to present to the immigration officer (possible POE is LAX).

My baby is both a US passport and a Philippine passport holder.

Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat does this mean?
Hello!

My fiance just called the US hotline number this afternoon to ask for the status of my k1 visa. He was told that "the embassy is still processing it." What does this mean? How long does the "processing" take?

Thanks! We're aiming to book a cheaper ticket for the dec. 28 flight from Manila to LAX so we could spend the New Year together, but it seems that it's not safe to do this yet. :-(

If you are sending regular money to support them financially when they are there and you are here.....how do you explain that you are not just buying a spouse?



That is fine i guess if you already have a child with your fiance, to which regular allotments and support is needed.
