K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRe-Issue K-1?

According to your time line your visa was approved in January, waited the max to use it, then another nearly 90 days?

 

What gives.

It is just over $10 an hour.

Most people do not use co sponsors.

Co-sponsors do not have to be parents.

Remember the I 134 is not enforceable, it is the I 864 which is.

 

Getting a job may be the simplest solution.

If you enter marry file before the end of December, then mid March or so, early in December then end of February.

Exactly and he needs to include his work income.

I am no expert on SSDI but I think they only allow earnings above a certain amount for a limited period, so not sure how you can count both.

 

From what I see people with SSDI mainly work off the books, but that is no use for sponsorship.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi134 Situation, Please Advise

There was a similar thread involving Indonesia a month or so back.

 

One of the comments mentioned was that being out in Indonesia is no biggie, nothing to worry about.

 

Go with your income but have a co sponsor as back up, just in case.

He's 18

That is unusual, would explain why he is not working, still at School?

 

Also begs the question how old he was when you were visiting, be careful.

From what I have seen she was only told what most Lawyers would say.

 

Strongly suggest you read the guids to get familiar with the process.

I have never been to India, I had Indian friends in the UK and certainly there marriage choices seem to have involved the Family. I was forever hearing about the pressure from Mother.

So what reason did they say, they must have given a reason.

 

Never heard of it being for religion, but then this situation may be a first for VJ.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

Unfortunately, seems mainly North Africa, there are internet cafes full of men trying to hook someone to get the a Green Card. They look on it as a family investment for a better life, modern day Pride and Prejudice. Lots of horror stories on this site, hence the term red flags you will see.

 

The Consulates are very familiar with what is acceptable and normal locally, which is not the same as in the US.

 

I am not saying this is the case here, but invariably there will be tarring with the same brush if you fit the profile.

Boiler, you have been a member on this site for years. I am just learning. We are here because we are requesting advice, need help, or in my case completely heart-broken by the outcome of our decision. My fiance and I were trying to do everything right, but yes we made a few mistakes. Maybe what is logical to you and other senior members of this site is not often the case for us newbies. 

 

We just need advice, we don't need to feel stupid too. Not everyone can have a perfect file. 

I was not trying to.

 

Lets put it this way if your son went on Spring Break in (name your Central American country) and came back a week later saying he had met a lady he was going to marry and sponsor to the US, what would your reaction be?


BoilerMaleWales2013-10-02 21:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

 

I completely get that. We messed that one up bigtime!!! But we were not trying to mislead or lie, we were just trying to make our chances at success a little higher. 

I was trying to explain where the other posters were coming from, sending in an I 134 from your Mother does not fall in that category.


BoilerMaleWales2013-10-02 21:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

 

I am sorry I don't understand what you mean. We didn't lie or try to mislead anyone. They asked if he had ever been denied a visa, we replied yes and gave the date and location. I think what you are saying is that in the eyes of the CO my fiance is lying about who and what relationships he has with people in the US because we used my mother as "Sponsor" (I have learned that this means Person Completing Affidavit of Support) We merely used my mother and her income, assets as a tool for him to better achieve his B-2. We failed. 

 

It would be very easy for me to prove she is my mother, too bad the CO didn't ask who she was!!! He could of explained just as easily as myself.

 

Can we fix it now? Any thoughts on that?

I do not see this as an issue in your case, but you will see here where people have lied to try and obtain a B2, said they were married when they were single seems quite common, and then when they apply later for an Immigrant Visa the 2 files are compared and ooops.


BoilerMaleWales2013-10-02 20:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

Another thing I learned is that even if your packaging was put together by the Pope himself that it is still at the whim of the CO.

 

Whim is the wrong word, it is not capricious.

 

Invariably the cases you see discussed here are the off ones but even then like this case the decision is entirely logical.

 

And of course we only get part of the information, the CO has a lot more.

Thank you - So if someone is in a romantic relationship and if he/she applies for a non-immigrant visitor or student visa - are they incorrect if they says that they are not in a fiancée relationship? - assuming no K1 petition has been filed yet.

I think that those applications ask about relatives, Fiancée is not I think a legal definition. More social.


BoilerMaleWales2013-10-02 18:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

 

I have a curious question - How does the CO/ USCIS distinguish between a fiancee relationship and a romantic relationship/ dating? (e.g. So someone may be dating someone from say Feb 2012 to Dec 2012 but may have propositioned in let's say Jan 2013.. so how are these "events" established for CO/USCIS?)

 

 

Thanks
 

They are not and do not need to be. There is the requirement to commit to marrying within 90 days of entry.

 

The vast majority of cases are dealt with well before you get to the window, there might be the odd one where the 'interview' is relevant, but I doubt that happens very often.

You problem here is that the K1 and CR1 look from an external basis more as a means for him to immigrate to the US than for Family Reunification.

 

Only you can decide how you will best address this.

My mom is 70 and I am seeing now how much of a mistake it was.We were already aware how hard it was to get a tourist visa and we thought someone of who had life experience, with some assets and income would look better. Our mistake. 

 

And, you can have sponsors for B-2 Visas, we did.

You can not, you can send in I 134's but usually that is a sign of both desperation and issues.

 

He of course did not get the visa.

 

Like everything to do with Immigration there are odd cases at certain Consulates where an I 134 helps, Very unusual.
