Assuming approval, you get the visa within a week and then have 6 months to use it. Once you enter you have 90 days to get married.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat happens if denied on Visa Waiver???
I have been to France over and over again, with no intent ever to live there.

Once you have been refused entry on a VWP then you can no longer use it, ever.

A B2, well similar issues to being refused entry on a VWP unless your circumstances have changed and you can substantiate it.

If you later go for an immigarnmt visa, then it has no relevance, by definition.

Usually they allow you to withdraw your entry rather than deport you, a deportation would require a waiver as well.

Not sure about Dublin, have heard that they can be harsher.

Your call.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarry and American with a Working Visa I think HB1?

oh ok then filing for citizenship after married to the person does the spouse have to return back home and file from there?


Not on an H1, the correct visa would be a H4.

Which by the ways does not allow you to work.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe got approved!! Now What?

just a thought i know it is not correct but as a case study on implications
agreed they had a legal marriage in Colombia, he is marrying the same person in the US they have a K1 visa apply for AOS after marriage in the US.. now when you file for AOS they dont go bck n chk in yr country whether he was married???


You can legally only mary someone once, unless the prior marriage ends through annulment or divorce.

The basis of any adjustment would be on marriage to a USC in the US evidenced by a marriage certificate.

You may well be able to get away with it in pracice, but if caught the ramifications would be nasty. Including perjury there would ba a long list.
BoilerMaleWales2006-02-22 17:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe got approved!! Now What?

Just a quick update.

We already had the K1 approval prior to getting married.

Sorry about the confusion.

Doug


The confusion is because you said you married in Columbia, a K1 is to allow her entry to the US to get married, if you marry in Columbia you need a K3.
BoilerMaleWales2006-02-22 16:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWe got approved!! Now What?

Hi everyone.

Well we got approved for the K1.

Now we are in the US and have to go to the next step.

Does anyone know of a section of this web site on what are the procedures for after you arrive in the US.

Social Security etc.

We got married in Colombia befor we left but I think it may not be valid here in the US.

Thanks for any help.

Doug


The procedure is all dealt with in the FAQ.

But a K1 is for a fiance, not a spouse.

Marriage is a bit like Virginity, very few grey areas. Why do you think you are not legally married?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelpful or Harmful for K1
If you can substantiat a B, then have a go at both. It will be a long time before the K appears in the system unless you can go through Vermont.
BoilerMaleWales2006-03-01 12:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelpful or Harmful for K1

If he has a K1 pending, he stands no chance of getting a B2. In order to obtain a B2 one has to have proof of significant ties to the home country, not an intention to immigrate. I think that option is going to be out.

Also, the denial on the VWP would have been due to his entry and exit patterns - like the fact that he stayed for three months and then exited to try and return within a relatively short period of time. Even if he DOES manage to get a B2 (which I consider improbable), that's no guarantee that the POE won't do exactly what they did with the VWP - turn him round and send him home. Particularly once a K1 is in processing.

Good luck.

:star:


Many people travel to the US with K1 applications pending, I did.

There is undoubtedly the situation with substantiating non immigrant intent, which is why I asked my question.
BoilerMaleWales2006-02-28 15:50:00

The short answer is that it will be quickest to continue with the K, eneter through JFK to get the EAD stamp.

He has to obtain US Citizenship.

Otherwise he has to maintain the US as his permanent residence.

Or you can just start again when you want to come back.

There are some exceptions that might help, are you being moved by US Gov or US Multinational?


I'm in a similar situation. I will be moved by the U.S. Government approximately 1 year after my fiancee arrives in the states & we are married. How will the move influence our situation, & will she be able to move with me?


Take professional advice, but if you are moved by the Gov then she should be OK.

You need to check on any visa aspects that she may have in joining you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 does fiance fill in a copy too?
OK I have read enough prior posts to get the gist.

I can not see why his mother can not Co-Sponsor, her income appears sufficient.

I can not see why the Medical will be a problem.

OP seems to think Citizenship takes 2 years, more likely 4 years, if you are lucky. Mine will on current track be nearly 5 years.

I am surprised that a K would be entitled to any benefits from California, or someone adjusting status, but I do not know.

It would be reasonable to expect that any emergency benefits would be much much less generous than those provided in the UK.

Also of course the costs of medical services outside any emergency provisions would be a lot more. well expensive rather than free.

BUT the biggest issue must be the I-864. I appreciate that it is not usually enforced but any State or Federal Means Tested Benefits are recoverable from him or more likely his Mother.

Whilst it is reasonable to suppose that finances are limited, there is mention of financial support provided by family, I can not tell whether that meets the self sponsoring requirements. But one would hope that they would not send her to a foreign country without some resource.

I know how much out of pocket expenses I incurred when my elderly mother visited, bearing in mind the limited US safety net, no access to healthcare etc etc, the minimal sum required to self sponsor would be essential.

She appears 17?.

I have never seen a comparable case. I guess all that matters is whether the CO has and what the issues are.

I would suggest posting here, there are a couple of good lawyers that participate, they will probably know, they could certainly find out and it is free.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 does fiance fill in a copy too?



I was just reading through the tips guide on the I-134 and it says the chosen co-sponcer AND sponcer (USC) must fill in the same form each. Is this right?


I filled in the form myself, assuming you have a modest sum, a few grand should do it, check with the Consulate for current figure, much easier than getting your fiancee invoved.

You will need a co-sponsor by the sound of it for AOS, but not now.


Fiona has already made it clear in other posts that she will not be self-sponsoring and it is pretty obvious by the start of her post that she will be using her fiance as her sponsor and also a cosponsor, so suggesting she self sponsor is completely unhelpful to her at this point. I don't know how much you've been keeping up with her case but it is complicated and Rebeccajo's suggestion of consulting an attorney could very well be an excellent one. I would hate to see Fiona's case get delayed because someone on a message board made too many assumptions (such as saying her case is uncomplicated) and told her what to do and it was wrong.

Sorry, IRS is his taxes, it's how we call it in Brasil.
And nope, he's brazilian, so I guess nobody in Brasil can write a letter saying they'll support us, even if my fiance has his sponsor (I wanted to make a statement, you know, to say, here, we have a co-sponsor, but I don't depend on his father 'cus my parents can support me).


Honestly I don't think your father (since he is NOT a US citizen in the US) writing a letter will do any good. The I-134 is used for the USC and possibly a cosponsor, and the cosponsor must be in the US, so just in my opinion that qualification of having to be in the US would make any letters from people outside the US null and void. However, if it makes you feel better to have that letter then bring it right along, the worst they can do is say we don't want to see it! Just be sure you have everything you need for your sponsor and cosponsor :)



Self sponsoring is uncomplicated, I only comment on the questions asked.

Nor do I check all an OP's previous posts, could be thousands.

But to state the obvious, whilst I did not keep track of my total expenses, the amount required by the Consulate to self sponsor was a small fraction of the total. And I did not use a Lawyer. Judging from posts I have seen from those that did, a Lawyer would cost the same as the capital needed to self sponsor, give or take.

So a bit of a Catch 22.

I hate to be ignorant but what is 'his IRS'?

And to Fiona - your questions regarding the I-134 and the I-864 REALLY need to be addressed to an attorney. Hun, we can't suggest strongly enough to you how your unique situation is above the scope of most on this board.


On a scale of complexity, I would give it 2 out of 10.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTime Frames: How could she do this?

I agree with evrything that's been said so far. She must have already had a visa, or was expecting it very soon. But the chances of a single Russian woman getting a tourist visa for the US are just about zero. She would need to have a house in Russia, a minor child in Russia, a job, and some assets all tied to Russia, just to have a 1 in 10 chance of a tourist visa.

The other option is that she snuck across the border and needs to lay low for awhile. But in any case, if she's not contacting you, it's time to move on.


Agree with all the above.

6 months would be normal from start to finish for a K1/3, assuming Vermont Office, longer elsewhere.

A Visitors Visa in that time frame is possible, you may know if she had even the vaguest chance of getting one.

For example she might have a senior position in a US Multinational, that would probably work.

I am sure the US Army does not allow families to be deployed to a war zone.

Also the chances of getting a Visitors Visa (6 months) in these circumstances would be remote to say the least.

JAG has been mentioned, that would be the best bet. Generally USCIS does go out of its way to help Military connections.

I do not know if your current situation permits you to travel, but a visit to China would seem easiest.

Remember, these people process a lot of applications. The idea is to make it easy for them, not hard! :)

The law requires that you have met personally face to face within the last two years. Anything that you send them that is outside of the two years will do nothing to get your petition approved. Make sure that you include evidence of meeting within the past two years.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny opinions on what we should do?

Okay, here it is. I am an American that is engaged to a Canadian. In the beginning we had planned for me to move to Canada but just recently we have changed plans and he will be coming to the US. Our wedding is July 23 of this year and from what I can tell we don't have enough time for a k-1 to go through. He will not be coming back to the States until a few weeks before the wedding and if there is no other way, he will leave a week or so after. We would really like it if he could stay and not have to go back after the wedding.

What I am wanting is for someone to tell me that I am correct in saying that we don't have enough time for a K-1 visa and really what our options are. We really don't like the idea of having to wait any more than we have to for us to be together and if we go with a K-3 visa we know that we will have to wait longer.

Please if anyone could give me some information or different options that I am not seeing we would gladly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Amanda


K1 is most unlikely.

So K3/CR1 is the other option after the marriage.

The logical choice would be to do the K1 as you can start now and either delay the marriage or just make it some sort of blessing rather than a legal event.

Ah!!! Do NOT try to entry on visa waiver if you are uncertain... they turn people away all the time.
My fiance spend 3 weeks here with me in Michigan, then came back 2 months later and spent his full 3 months. He tried to come back a month later, and he was denied entry.

Funny, they let him stay with me for one night, then I had to have him back at the airport the next afternoon. They treated him horribly, kept him in question for learly 5 hours, refused to let him contact his embassy, or even give him a glass of water. They even came into the arrivals part of the airport to question me about it.
Their treatment of him was horrible, but that should serve as reflection of how we treat people we think are "immigrants".

The experience was devestating, but we are now pursuing a K-1 visa, and waiting for the NOA2. If anyone needs advice about VWP denial, please ask, as I feel your pain!

You can get 'interrogated' the first time or any time.

I visted the US maybe 10 times and only had one hassle. The US is not part of the EU!

BUT if you are a two week holiday to see the Mouse the chances of being quizzed are pretty minimal, 90 days with no job, no ties to your home country etc and thats another situation.

Your chances of a B2 having been refused a VWP entry, assuming there is not a major change in your circumstances is pretty minimal. Has no impact on an Immigrant Visa as after all they refused you because you had immigrant intent, or they thought you had, now you are stating up front that you do.

hey, i am new to this website but i have done a lot of reading on it and it seems like the most helpful website out there. i have a few questions. i met my girlfriend online a few years ago and then in the summer of 2005 i came to visit her on the VWP and i stayed for the 3 months that we are allowed, i then returned to the UK for 3 months and then came back for a month to visit her again. after that i was in the UK for 2 months and then came back for 6 weeks to surprise her on her birthday, however i got serious questions the last time i i tried to get past the customs man at chicago. he gave me a real hard time, he asked me how much money i had, what kind of job i had in the Uk and my reasons for visiting and what i`ll be doing the whole time. this lasted for about 10 minutes of me just standing there talking to him. it scared the ####### out of me. i understand now that i was entering too much, i just naively thought that if i didn`t overstay the 90 days then i`m not doing anything wrong. my question now is though, how long should i leave it before i try and come back? i know that a lot of you have reported trouble at the customs when trying to visit your boyfriends or girlfriends. we plan to file for the K1 visa next year and are trying to worko ut how to see eachother at least a couple of times a year without me being turned away and sent back to the UK. so can anyone give me any advice? any similar experiences? i`m thinking that i won`t be coming back for about 6 months, will this be sufficient? if i come back in like 6 months and only stay for about 4 weeks? or do you think that this could still be a big problem? i am so confused by it all!!

I travel to Cleveland from the UK via Chicago every 3 months to see my boyfriend, I stay anything from one to 3weeks at a time.

They usually ask me what my job is, who I am going to see - I tell them my Boyfriend, they then just say ok and off I go.
