Crimea is about 1,000 miles from the Crimea, for those geographically challenged about the same as Italy.

 

I would apply for that K1 now, today.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan girlfriend come here then file?

Hi all. I posted here long ago about how to get around DOMA, and unfortunately there really was no way. Luckily we are now in a post-DOMA world. I am still with the same lovely girl, 3 years later. She is a Canadian citizen living in Toronto and I am an American citizen living in Atlanta.

 

Our plan has always been for her to finish school there (Canada) since it's cheaper than ridiculous US education fees. She is about to get her 2 year degree and was moving on to get her 4 year (in education.. she wants to be an elementary school teacher) when her parents informed her she was worhtless for not working and bringing in money and that she would no longer be going to school and had to get a job or get out.

 

She's in Toronto where the cost of living is ridiculously high (trust me, I know from visiting :P) and though she's been searching for a job she hasn't found anything yet (her school is trying to work with her but so far nothing). She's 23 and would much rather NOT live with her parents (who have always pretty much treated her like ####### - also she's not out to them because her father informed his kids he would murder them if they were homosexual...) but she's been working her butt off in school to get everything done so we can be together here. Now that her 4 year degree is no longer in the picture we are looking at options for her to come here ASAP.

 

My main question is (which I kind of already figure I know the answer to), if she were to come here saying she's visiting then we file paperwork for a green card would that work? Basically if we skipped the K1 process. I know it would be bad if she lied at the boarder but she is allowed here for 6 months at a time so could we not file and get everything done by then?

 

Right now the plan is to do the K1 process correctly, however she's in danger of getting kicked out if she can't get a job and though her and her sister are looking for cheap apartments right now those don't really exist around Toronto. My worry is that she will end up homeless in a shelter or something and I cannot let that happen, that is the woman that I love and I can't let her be on the streets so I would go and basically drag her to come live with me. But then she'd be an illegal immigrant until/unless we could file for a greencard while she's here but if it were denied I know she'd have to go back and everything would be even more complicated.

 

Any advice? :cry:

 

Not sure how the Canadian Education system works, but at 23 would you not have finished a 4 year degree?

 

From what I understand Toronto/Canada has a much better job market, why do you think she would find it easier in the US?She would be unable to work for 3 plus months on a K1. Seems she has no real qualifications.

 

If you want to financially help her you can, no law against that.

The denial rate you need to look at is that for people in her situation.

 

I guess I am confused, why is the OP paying for the visa application, she is the one that is applying?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiance's in serious trouble and has to leave her country

I knew a guy from Pakistan when I was studying in England.  Turned away from Islam over there and became atheist.  He attempted to get asylum after his course was done, returned home, was harassed/threatened for being an apostate... eventually fled to Tajikstan.

That seems quite a common trick. Seen it mentioned a lot.


BoilerMaleWales2014-03-20 22:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiance's in serious trouble and has to leave her country

 

Yes, he could.  He was a very close and trusted family friend for the last five years.  He knows a LOT about them. And he definitely knows where they live.  Which is why they've gone into hiding now.  They really can't go home until this passes.  It would be nothing for him to show up at their house or to have people show up at their house.  

 

If bin Laden had had a friend like this who turned on him - we would have found him a lot faster!

My comment was based on them moving.

Pakistan is a BIG country, how many years did it take for them to find Bin Laden? So you would be saying this one nut job could track them down?

If you need a B2 and a waiver as seems likely, a B2 Waiver assuming it is recommended takes about 6 months. So not a lot of point.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEnding of a relationship, now what?

 

I'm always curious to know how someone finds out their fiance has cheated when they are in another country?
 

Social Media?

 

Amazing what people will disclose.

 

There was an article I think in the Guardian about the etiquette where people break up, who deletes who from Facebook etc etc.

 

Not sure what Consulate is involved but non unheard of for people to trawl the web for people to sponsor them despite having a significant other. Once they are legal they can divorce and bring over their true love.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill I be automatically denied?

 

Okay let me correct that statement with this statement:  "The K-1 Co-Sponsor denial ratio in Manila is CLOSER to 99/1 than it is to 50/50."  Is that better?   (Please note in the first statement I said "closer to 99 to 1")  You are correct.  I am just going by what I have been reading over the past year and a half and it appears that way more often than not co-sponsors are not allowed there than they are.  And I think in this particular case, all things considered they don't stand a chance in hades.  But that's really just one mans opinion I guess.  Have a nice day and Aloha.

 

I would be hard pushed to think of a case similar to this where a co sponsor has been accepted.

 

Personally I would say it may not be nearer to 99/1, closer to 9999/1.


BoilerMaleWales2014-05-15 12:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWill I be automatically denied?

 

Please for give me now for this stern comment. But how the OP intends to support his fiancee' is non of our business. He asked questions on the process ie. filing, income requirements for filing, and any expectations from those things. If the OP has been on disability since birth I am sure he is not living in the streets. I am sure he is eating, paying bills, and meeting his needs. How much more will his wife add? I am quite sure he can provide for her enough until she arrives and is able to adjust then as she gets her papers straight for the next step to be a blessing to him as well. I think this is getting to much into his personal business. I want to recommend sticking to the questions that were asked not wondering about all the other side issues that is clearly things that I know he has considered. And yes she is coming from a poor country and her being here with her loved one...living and assisting each other will give her that opportunity to better herself and her family. Sorry but I just had to say something because I just think it happens to often here where OP's ask questions and those answering get side tracked and start responding to think that are outside the the real issue. If you want to just be nosy or concerned send them a private message. 
 

 

There are 2 issues with this consulate.

 

1. They do not usually accept co sponsors in these circumstances

 

2. Needs to demonstrate it is a not a care giver being brought in.
