K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is a divorce in Dominican Republic Valid	The DR is well know for quickie divorces. Just fly down there one day, get a dirvorce and fly back the next.. Usually the courts consider if it was done solely to circumvent the laws of your home state before they give validity to the divorce. If they find that this is the case they will not enforce it or consider it legal. If you obtained the divorce, then it prob will not be considered legal eventhough your ex resides in the DR unles she was a part of the procedure. The USCIS usually does not consider these divorces to be legal or enforceable. You should run this across a NY family lawyer to get a legal opinion. I answered a duplicate post in another forum, indicating if the petitioner disclosed all previous marriages and provided divorce decrees for the divorces and the case is now at the consulate awaiting interview, then USCIS has already approved the petition, making the validity of any disclosed divorces, "already adjudicated" or decided upon. Only if the marriage and divorce was NOT disclosed could this still be an issue. If that's the case, they have a much larger problem than the divorce issue. They would be facing a material misrepresentation finding.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-26 11:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	income levels different if self employed	On another board on this site someone is trying to say that if you are self employed it is money taken in MINUS expenses to meet the threshold. I dont think this is right but am hoping to get confirmation on this. A self employed person states their current income from line 22 of the 1040, so yes, after deducting expenses on schedule C. Business income is revenue minus expenses and/or overhead. Often the self-employed show a negative number on line 22 because legitimate deductible expenses exceed revenue.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-26 14:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How much is too much?	It is all up to the CBP. By 'significant' I generally mean quality, not quantity. For example, I've seen people travel to the beneficiaries home country, get married, and leave to file - obviously that can raise flags Good luck CBP (Customs and Border Protection) doesn't make any decisions in the process of obtaining a visa. Consular officers are the ones that evaluate all evidence of a bona fide ongoing relationship and USCIS only cares about primary evidence of meeting in person during the past two years, not how much time you spent together. USCIS decides whether a petition is approved. Once the petition is approved, the beneficiary of that petition is the one who applies for a visa at a US Consulate abroad. A Consular officer then evaluates the relationship bona fides with an interview. The interview can include evaluating evidence presented about time spent together and how and how frequently you communicate. Don't confuse a petition with a visa application.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-26 11:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NEED ADVICE	hi vj, we have a problem we really need some help/advice... I mailed all documents to my fiance (in the Philippines) that she needs for interview through USPS express mail but they returned it to me after five days and it was all opened to my shock and some important items are missing like my iteneraries, original copies of plane tickets, hotel reciepts, boarding pass, letters and cards she sent me, receipt of engagement ring etc. what's left to me now are the only copies of these, but im still confuse what to do and how to retrieve this items, Im really hoping they haven't destroyed it or something like that... and by the way this package was not able to leave the country then it was returned to me. also can i still used or show the copy that i made for her interview? All the items you mention can be taken to the interview as copies. You could simply scan them and email them to her for printing locally. The only original item she needs is the signed I-134.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-19 10:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	chinese name for visa	OT: Thanks :-) … Actually the city Xi'an is also two characters (??) and uses an apostrophe to separate the pinyin so that it is not confused with the pinyin "xian" as in 'first' or 'xian zai' for 'now' … Shows you what I know.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-27 13:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	chinese name for visa	Thanks Pushbrk … Yes, not her real name and you're right about the pinyin :-) … I guess the question really is: will this present a problem and should we worry about correcting it and if so, when? I feel it will just delay things now to attempt to correct it and they will use the information from the passport, and not what I filled out on the forms. … does that make sense? This is a common error. Fill out the visa applications with the correct Pinyin and you'll be OK. Chinese characters equate to syllables, not words. Spaces separate words. A word can have one or more syllables. "Pinyin" is one word as are all Chinese given names. A two-syllable Chinese name takes two characters to write but properly transliterated to Pinyin, it's still one word and one name. For the most part, only family names and perhaps some cities like Xian, have one syllable, so all other Chinese words are a combination of two characters representing two syllables, like Beijing, or Guangzhou.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-27 11:44:00

I think i should have left the middle name blank and put here first name as Zhou Hong. any ideas on this? Almost right. Look at your passport and you'll see WANG Zhouhong as the proper pinyin. There is no middle name and no space between the two syllables of your given name. I'm guessing this is not your real name but don't think WONG is the correct pinyin for any Chinese family name.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-27 02:40:00

Thank you:) I'm not sure how my friend sent her petition to California then, she also is from Chicago. I'll have to ask her...although she had sent her petition back in May of 2010...before the change? Illinois was assigned to California before the change.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Address to Mail to??	I DID read the instructions to the I-129F petition, and I did not miss where to send it (USCIS Dallas Lockbox). However, I read somewhere ELSE that there are multiple service centers, depending on where you live. I was confused, considering from what the I-129F instructions said, it seemed like EVERYONE sends the petition to Dallas, TX, regardless of where you live. Also, my friend who did the fiance visa, said she said her petition to California, because she had heard it had faster processing time?? The instructions are correct. You have never been able to choose your service center but before the recent change in mailing instructions, petitions were mailed directly to the service center assigned to the petitioner's State of residence.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-27 10:36:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	feels like the end before the beginning...	Thank you for your positive comment. I take every piece of advice and digest it all. But when someone throws an uneducated response like telling me that because Colin and I have only spent 2 weeks together on one visit we don't qualify. I suggest people do a bit of research before they decide to throw out a comment that could add even more stress to an already extremely stressful situation. It might not be enough time together for some countries but for the UK, not such a big deal. We take the good with the bad here. It comes with the territory. The issue works both ways. Both some of those asking the questions and some answering them, don't realize how much difference the country makes in getting or giving useful advice.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-27 15:02:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	feels like the end before the beginning...	As in, I file using 1040EZ instead of 1040... not so crazy! Is the AGI the number that the consular office looks at when one files the 1040EZ? Put another way, what line on the 1040EZ matters? Line 4 is adjusted gross income on the 1040EZ but all you needed to do was look at yours to know that.

If using 1040EZ, then adjusted gross income is the figure you state as income from that year.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-26 14:30:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	feels like the end before the beginning...	Unfortunately... self employment is not your gross income but your income after expenses... most business owners write off as much as possible to pay the least amount of taxes. Your gross income is usually cut by at least 60%, which leaves my income at about $11,000.00. If I take out all the expenses I am allowed. Plus my part time job of $14K a year. Just about $3K under what I need to make.... My ex pays my mortgage in lieu of child support. I have a notarized statement from him stating our agreement plus a statement of the last mortgage payments for the past 2 years. Hopefully that will be enough. But it still frightens me... You are allowed but not required to take all your "deductions". You may amend any tax return later. Mortgage in lieu of child support is a problem but you can solve it by changing the agreement and paying your own bills. You have solutions and time to implement them if you'll do it.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-25 23:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	feels like the end before the beginning...	It's been an incredibly hard day for me... like some of you who celebrate Christmas it was one more holiday alone. We filed in October and don't expect to hear anything until April or May at the earliest. I can handle the time. It's the uncertainty I cannot handle. I am self employed... In 2010 I will have earned $25,000.00 in my business. I also work a part-time job that pays about $14,000.00 a year. I also receive about $15,000.00 a year in child support. All of those incomes are documented and I have proof of income. But again and again I read of circumstances where visa's are denied because of lack of income. Oh... I also have 2 children that are in my custody. I did not meet my fiance on a "find a spouse" website. It was a random meeting almost 2 years ago on Facebook. Yes, another internet meeting..... go ahead with your comments, I have heard them all. But I love him more than I have ever loved anyone in my life. Neither one of us can bear the thought of living the rest of our lives without eachother. My question to you is... when our k-1 visa is denied (I just have a gut feeling it will be), how much longer until I can file another one? I will get another job and work 20 hours a day if I have to. I will do whatever it takes to prove that I love him and that I want him with me. That he will not become a "charge" of the country. But a man who is willing to work if just given the chance. I will prove that he is not coming to this country for its "benefits" but because he is willing to give up his life, his job and his family because he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. The financial information you gave indicates you probably qualify as the sponsor. Why not set your worry aside until you file the next tax return in a few weeks. Look at line 22 and if it's enough, relax. You can always add and document the child support. As you go forward, make sure you understand the difference between revenue and income in the context of a "business". "Income" from the business) that counts will be what's left over on schedule C after you deduct all your business expenses from the gross revenue. You'll then add that number to the $14,000 from your job and the sum will be the "total income" to be considered from the tax return. You can then add and document the child support.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-25 21:00:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is there a credit check run prior to Interview?	Will they do a credit check at some point? Do they just take the face value of what I stated on my affidavit? Do they just look at the paperwork I sent in, tax forms, pay stubs, stocks info, and bank statements? I just dont want my fiance to go to the interview and they say, "We received the 134, and your US fiance was lying" She actually owes a foreclosed mortgage of $280,000. Should I try to get a cosponsor to sign quickly and send off the paperwork for the interview? Have a look at the I-134 and note that any disclosure of assets is optional, so just state and document your income. It doesn't say that but just trust me, they're optional if your income is enough. Unless you have an outstanding tax lien on your credit report it's just no issue at all.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-11-16 22:22:00

I assume you are not a naturalized citizen since you are not familiar with the "all important" A#. In this case you most likely do not have an A#. Good Luck. See bold above.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Recent college graduate and currently unemployed petitioner...issues?	Hi, I'm just learning about the process of petitioning for a K-1 and I'm a little bit concerned about getting denied based on my current situation. I have not held a full time job since early 2009 as I went into grad school full time in the interest of changing careers. My last two recent jobs have been as an intern. I recently finished the program and am actively looking for a job at the moment. Unfortunately I can't predict when I will find a job, but I expect to find one eventually by some time next year. So, I don't have 12 months of recent pay stubs or a bank statement that shows I have steady income. So my question is, should I go ahead and mail in the K-1 petition package right now or wait until I've found work? Also, does my current financial/employment situation play into the decision on whether the petition will get approved or denied? Thanks. Wayne Unless it's Manila or Bangkok, you can use a cosponsor several months after you file the petition. If you're comfortable committing to marriage and an immigration process under you current circumstances AND asking a family member or close friend to act as a cosponsor, go for it.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-29 08:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Filing Fee Changes for I-129F	Hello- I filed on November 26th for an I-129F, and wrote a check for $455, as per the instructions at the time. It has been more than 30 days, and have yet to receive the NOA1- I called USCIS this morning, and was told that my application may not have been processed, as an incorrect filing fee was paid- apparently I should have paid $340, based on fees that changed on November 23rd. Allegedly my file will be sent back for correct payment, but nothing has happened. I was advised to wait two weeks, and if there is no information, to contact them again, and refile as needed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	US Citizen Expat / is K1 appropriate?	you could get a joint sponsor in the USA able to also provide an I-134. B-2 does not have this requirement. Since the K1 would be issued in Manila, don't count on using a cosponsor. More often than not, they'll decline to accept one. There's no easy answer for your situation, as the law requires Consular officers interviewing for visas to presume all visitor visa applicants have immigrant intent. With a US Citizen for a fiance, it's more than a presumption that the B2 would be used to circumvent US immigration laws. Frankly, I think your best bet is to plan to marry in the PI but you can certainly TRY the B visa route. K1, I think, is a lost cause. It's for sponsored intending immigrants and you most likely don't qualify as sponsor and she has not immigrant intent.	pushbrk	Male	China	2010-12-31 20:50:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	questions I couldn't find anwers to	Thank you for all the responses. I'm still a little unsure on #5 and #6. #5 When I sponsored her 15 years ago, there was no 40 quarter of work Affadvit of Support. The affadavit was only for 4-5 years, I think. Regardless, I know it is no longer in effect as I consulted an immigration many years ago to confirm that it was in fact over. So taking the affadavit of support out of the question, can my ex-wife simply do an address change online on thier website, wait a week and then do the I-90 to renew her 10 yr expired card? #6 Ok are there any more thoughts on this 125% poverty level issue. Are people of the opinion that it's not going to be an issue because I will have over $80,000 of W-2 income on my 2010 tax return? The issue I forsee is I no longer hold that W-2 job. My only income for 2011 will be my 80% interest in an LLC which I will receive monthly distributions and at the end of the year I will pay taxes on 80% of the income. I could get a CPA to provide a P & L or statements for them and show them my distribution checks, but that realy doesn't prove squat. Anyone think they'll simply look at my 2010 tax return, see about $90,000 of income and then move on without any questions? On a sidenote. These new Affadavit of Support the USCIS requires us to fill out are brutal. Entirely different from the ones 15 years ago. 1) 15 years ago it was "years".. had nothing to do with quarters of work and whether the beneficiary worked or not. 2) Sponsor was only on the hook for about 4-5 years 3) the wording is different... back then it said the govt could come collect the money from sponsor if beneficiary uses public assistance. Now it actually looks like it says the sponsor is required to make sure the beneficiary lives at 125% of the poverty level. Now I see why no one can find co sponsors and illegal immigration is so appealing to so many. This is a huge burden for many sponsors. Basically if sponsor is in 30% tax bracket then he/she has to make $30k/yr to provide benefeciary with $20k/yr, even if divorce etc. Over 10 years... that is $300,000.... and that is if the beneficiary decides to work and works for 40 quarters. I.e. If things don't work out and the parties split up after 4-5 years, and the beneficiary never pursues citizenship the sponsor could be on the hook 30+ years... that's about $1,000,000 of the sponsors income. I really don't have a solution... just pointing it out. Actually a solution would be no social programs for these immigrants. Though I am a big proponent for no social programs for anyone in the US... US citizen or not. For the I-134, you state your current income. It's tricky for you because you are no longer "employed" but will be providing a tax return with W2 income. I think what I would do in that situation is make a good faith estimate of current income and then provide three complete tax returns instead of one, to show consistent income well over the poverty line. If you have easily documented liquid assets to add, add them too. I have no comment on your ex-wifes green card renewal. It's not your problem.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-01-02 17:44:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Free School after marriage?	With the GI bill it is "free" because it is all paid for in full by the GI bill. There is even a program for military spouses to get paid to go to school full time an extra 900ish a month. While they pay for you to go to school. Everyone in the military says go to school its free. Make sure you go before you leave the military its free. Etc etc. Some of the discussion is semantics but often semantics (particularly in the immigration process) are critical. The education is not free because the tuition is being paid. Period. If it's being paid for by the government, it may be free to the student but it is not "free". The US taxpayer is PAYING for the education.

What type of classes would that be....GED or maybe regular university classes? Legal permanent residents (after marriage and AOS completion) have the same educational options as US Citizens. What is available locally and whether it's free will depend on you own city, county or State and your own income. Generally, "adult education" classes offered at public schools are aimed at those who do not have high school diplomas and are cheap or free. Ask around. I'm aware of no "free" college. SOMEBODY pays the tuition, even if it's the government based on military service or financial aid. Edited by pushbrk, 02 January 2011 - 10:37 AM.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-01-02 10:36:00

You don't say if you're the petitioner or beneficiary but it is the petitioner's birth certificate that is needed. Put the money order on top (A personal check is better.) followed by the G-1145. The key thing you are missing is evidence of having been in the same place sometime in the past two years. Pictures and emails don't do that. Boarding passes, passport stamps and receipts in country are the kind of primary evidence of meeting you need to include. If by "statement" you mean "letter of intent to marry", ok. If not, make sure your package includes letters of intent from each of you. Edited by pushbrk, 03 January 2011 - 03:54 PM.	pushbrk	Male	China	2011-01-03 15:53:00
