biggish data

For you to bring up the issue of ability when that was not the concern of the OP, is nothing more than pure speculation. How you could read that post and somehow comprehend the OP was concerned with "ability" says more about you. You took away something there was never there, that is speculation.

My response was to those who were speculating on the abilities of the OP by saying "you can" when they have no clue whether "you can" or not. Enough. Point is made. I get that you don't like it. That is not my concern.

You have no more personal knowledge about the OP than I have, therefore it is unrealistice for you to question the OP's ability when you haven't a clue. There was nothing in the OP's post indicative of ability or the lack of, the OP sought advice as to if filing for the visa could be done be a normal person. The OP was conflicted about diy or using a lawyer in which cost was a concern. I would think if the OP knew he/she was lacking in ability, they would not have taken the time to seek out and find a diy site and ask questions (as to if filing for the visa could be done be a normal person) fully knowing it takes ability to DIY. The OP merely lacked confidence, not ability.

The difference is I didn't speculate on any abilities but you and others have. The danger is the potential of unrealistic expectations and the results thereof. Only the OP knows their capabilities. The rest of us don't and would be wise not to speculate.

Respectfully, what was the purpose of your comment? Considering the nature of which was less than positive and uplifting.
Of course, "There's more to obtaining a visa than filing a petition and there's more to filing a petition than filing in the blanks." the information
relevant to a visa petition is far more important than who fills in the blanks.
I think the OP was served well by the more encouraging comments and hopefully the OP feels a bit more confident with the idea
of doing it herself/himself.

Encouragement is fine. Telling somebody they have an ability, when you have no clue whether they do or not is unrealistic. Unrealistic expectations would certainly be the primary feature in any denial story we read. The purpose of my comment was to focus on reality. In short, it's straight talk, not simply blind positive encouragement that people need to be successful. Read about some heartbreaking stories here and you'll better understand the need for facing reality before making decisions and taking actions.

Great Job congratulations.

I used an attorney for a total of 2k (mistake). You can do it yourself and save the money. We filed our own AOS and are waiting. Good DIY here on VJ. You supply all the information, why not do the forms yourself.

Again, none of us knows what any other CAN do. We only know what WE can do, and sometimes don't even know that. Folk, please realize this. Do it yourself is NOT for EVERYBODY. It takes good language skills, attention to detail, confidence and diligent study to manage a visa process. Not everybody has those in sufficient measure. Others would simply rather spend their time doing other things and leave the study and details to others.

Anyway - from this letter, they clearly were processing your case as a K3 and thought you were married. If that is NOT the case (hard to tell from all your misinformation), then you still need an attorney to help you unravel this whole mess. If it's their mistake, they should rectify it. But making that happen could be too complex for you to do on your own.

The couple IS married. The I-129F was filed for a fiancee, visa denied, couple married, petition reaffirmed, USCIS sent reaffirmed petition to NVC to process as a K3. I've never seen or heard of USCIS doing anything like this or NVC or a Consulate either. Nevertheless, the Consular officer denied the K3 visa. Best at this point to re-examine the situation and follow through with the I-130 and immigrant spouse visa. This time, concentrate on spending time together to build a solid and provable bona fide relationship. Time spent together is the strongest evidence. Obviously the Consulate has strong doubts about the bona fides, or they wouldn't have denied the visa twice at two separate interviews. They have a reason or reasons. Concentrate on that.

Is he your husband or your fiance?

Lots of details from previous threads are missing from this one.

Initially the K1 was denied, so the couple married. Later USCIS reaffirmed the I-129F and sent it back evidently and strangely with the direction to the Consulate to process the I-129F for a K3 visa instead of K1. At the second interview, the visa was denied for lack of evidence of a bona fide relationship. It all sounds pretty far-fetched but that's the best I can put together from all the mess of information.

This is worry some. I didn't realize you could be denied for only visiting your fiance only once. It's not that easy to visit your fiance if they live on the other side of the world. How common is this requirement? Does it vary from IO to IO? Do people usually visit multiple times? Have people who visited only once generally get denied?

Jim has already given a great reply to your concern. What I would add as a point of clarification is, as Jim said, visiting only once has been cited as....A....reason for denial. It is seldom the ONLY reason for denial. A more accurate statement would be that a single visit was cited as one of several reasons the Consular Officer concluded the relationship was for immigration purposes only. What I put in bold would be the actual reason for denial. Best to think in terms of the totality of the circumstances and do so objectively. That's what the Consular officer is going to do.

A K-1 visa is for unmarried people. You and your husband (your words) are obviously married since that is how you talk about each other. If this is not true, then you may have unconciously sent that message and the COs are trained to spot this and have made their decision.

Probably the only thing you can do is to legally become married and then file a CR-1 visa but you had better be ready to show tons of evidence that you really have a real relationship. It's for your own good and the good of the country.

Visas are not filed or filed for. Petitions are filed and then based on approved petitions, visas are applied for.

To the OP,

Please clarify your original post. You said your husband's K1 visa/I129F was denied. If he's your husband, then any K1 visa should have been denied. Again, please clarify.

True, because it IS recognized as a marriage but does not produce a certificate needed for the CR-1

It is an "odd-duck" sort of thing. I also do not know why a religious organization would perform a marriage that is not a marriage. But I am not the religious sort so I cannot really comment on that.

Lots of people renew vows and have all sorts of non-legal marriage ceremonies. The problem comes in when the ceremony is intended to satisfy or may be interpreted as intended to satisfy some religious rite that legitimizes the marriage for the purposes of the church without legitimizing it for the purposes of the law. Sort of a "marriage before God" issue. Consular officers tend to interpret that if the couple considers themselves as husband and wife, there will be no fiancee visa, legal marriage or not. I see their point and don't agree, but it doesn't matter what I think.

The US recognizes religious weddings. I can never fathom why people would do this. You have an excellent chance of being denied a K-1 visa because of this, it has happened over and over and been well reported here at VJ

Yes and no. This kind of marriage is enough to disqualify one for a K1 visa but not enough to qualify for a spouse visa. If it comes up, the fiancee visa is likely to be denied. If so, they'll have to have a legally issued marriage certificate to start a spouse visa process. A real mess we've seen over and over again.

Problem is the form DS-156 was filled by the " travel agency" and the applicent didn't understend the english well

No is the correct answer for an "immigration benefit" question unless a petition was filed. If a travel agent submitted a visa application and the visa was denied then the correct answer to the visa denial question is yes. Whether either is a misrepresentation would depend on the totality of the circumstances. If there has been no interview yet, correct the DS156.

I maybe banned again for saying what I think. The Adam Walsh Act was inacted to protect children. Has any other parent lost a child like I have. (Yes, 15 years old) Most Adam Walsh questions are from Newbees and a denial of the past. Yet, 90% of members try and help with information and the other 10% hold that thought. Some that think there case is related to the act are honest and wish advice while others avoid what is real and what is not. (There is no Loop-Holes in USCIS). I see Honest questions and I see deceiving questions looking for an answer or another imbalance of the truth. Some of you like me, some of you don't. The Adam Walsh Act was made for the Children.

Of course it was. Your post addresses nothing being discussed in this topic. This is an immigration forum and neither asks or answers a question. Some petitioners with SOME AWA issues get approved and some do not. If you are interested, there are lots of posts about this in the IMBRA forum and you can learn to your heart's content.

So, Pushbrk, you don't think this will come up. Statuatory Rape is Rape. 15 years old. Convicted or not this is a big RFE and the OP admits Probation/Therapy. IF the key word is "IF" Then what IF it was your daughter or grandchild? Would you feel the same way?

Your response is to a post where I wrote, "I'm afraid it is you who is wrong. Petitions do not ask about arrests. They ask about convictions. The bold above is correct but the keyword is IF." I didn't say anything about whether "this will come up". I said the petition, doesn't ask about arrests. It asks about convictions. The petitioner answered the criminal background questions correctly. I was correcting Vanessa, an immigrant, who was confused about which forms the petitioner submits as opposed to the immigrant. Immigrants answer questions about arrests. Petitioners answer questions about convictions.

You MUST disclose the arrest. The lawyer is wrong about that. If asked if you were arrested then you must admit it. You will also most DEFINITELY need court (and arrest) records so you may as well get started on that.

Also, it's important that you know that "dismissed without prejudice" isn't a good thing. It's not bad, but it means that though the case is dismissed, they have the ability to re-open the case. it could just mean they didn't have enough evidence to convict you right now, but are leaving that door just in case. USCIS has been known to use the "without prejudice" as a sign you are NOT innocent. Just an FYI. Nothing stopping you from filing the petition, but be aware you might have a question or two to answer either at the interview, or come AOS time.

I'm afraid it is you who is wrong. Petitions do not ask about arrests. They ask about convictions. The bold above is correct but the keyword is IF.

Hi Pushbrk,

I first have to apologize as my fiance has opened this thread seeking to get some answers.
She made me aware of this and I am now responding as my self.

It certainly was not her intention to be misleading and apologize if it is seen that way.

In any case, I would think that since it was clearly stated that I received pre-trial intervention, that those who know about these matters would understand that I was in fact arrested and charged (You don't get to the point of being offered PTI unless that is the case).

I am very concerned about this and your thoughts on me seeking legal council is good advice and much appreciated.

It kills me that I could be seen by immigration as some sort of sex criminal as I have NEVER done anything like that before and would NEVER put myself in that situation again. It was a BIG wakeup call.

At the time, all parties involved (prosecutor, Judge, etc.) agreed that it would not be in the interest of justice to have me labeled as a sex criminal given the conditions were so murky and it was clear that my intent was not predatory.

Don't get me wrong, I am not looking for sympathy here, She was simply looking to understand what we can do to be together.

There are many here with opinions one way or the other regarding this issue. And I think that the Adam Walsh act is a good thing.
I just think that in a country like ours where you are presumed innocent, and a case is (and this is a legal technical term) "dismissed without prejudice", that this should extend to ALL areas of government. My liberties as a citizen have not been impacted in any other way as I have been successful in life, maintained my executive title and position with my organization, and have worked with varying degrees of security clearance on a number of engagements for work.

I am supremely confident that if in the worst case they issue a denial that I will be successful in seeking a waiver but it is all very frustrating.

This forum has proved to be an enormously beneficial resource in providing good insights and interesting perspectives on how to handle a great number of potential risks and obstacles for those seeking marriage with foreign nationals.

I hope that this will not be a concern and that we can be together as our emotional investment has been immeasurable.

I love her very much and it would more than break my heart if this matter has the potential to ruin what I see as a once in a lifetime shot at happiness with the most amazing women on earth.

Please forgive us if it is perceived that we were not being up front.

All of your insight is greatly appreciated.

Best of luck to all of you!

Thanks for the explanation. I think a quick consultation with a criminal defense attorney in your own State, (perhaps the one from the actual case in question) let you know whether to be concerned. Given your explanation, I would predict the worst case is a delay followed by an eventually approved petition. More likely, it's a non-issue.

I did not have to answer a plea but I did have to do some community service in my local librery and when the police came to speak with me I was honest with them about me dating this girl since I did not know how old she was I did not realize it was a problem, she aparently was also dating another gentleman from work that I did not know about until after, so the prosecutor and the police were sympathetic to my situation and nobody objected to me, they reduce the charge and gave me pre trial intervention, but my concern is that since I was honest with the police when I talked about the situation immigration could see that as an admission of guilt.

You did community service for a "reduced charge". What was the "charge"? Either way, I think you need a "legal opinion" on whether you have an AWA issue.
Pre Trial Intervention and how it works with regard to a criminal record varies by State. I don't know if USCIS can see this record.

When you speak to a lawyer, don't start out obscuring the truth like you did here. You were not "just arrested" and "not convicted". There was more to it. Don't make the lawyer's job like pulling teeth. Make full disclosure to get competent reliable advise.

I also wanted to know if there is a similar case, I know it´s not convicted in gereral terms but sometimes Immigrations has other way to see things, and due this is on my criminal records I just want to make sure that there will not be any issue

You really haven't provided enough information to be clear. If you were arrested and the case was dismissed is the WHOLE legal story, then no problem. Sometimes a finding of "dismissed" follows a guilty plea and some form of punishment. If that's more like what happened, then it's another issue.

Selectively honest... I like that answer...

Regards,

I'll take it a bit further with some other examples. I live 12 miles from the Canadian border and cross often. The folks I get paired up with for golf often cross several times a week. They play golf, shop for groceries, buy gas, visit friends and whatever. Crossing from Canada or any of the VWP countries only becomes difficult when there are red flags. When you come and GO often, CBP isn't concerned about immigrant intent. Many folks from these countries come and GO often without abusing the privilege.

If you have an aunt and uncle with three kids in Orlando and are flying in from a VWP country or Canada to stay with them for two weeks and asked the purpose of your trip, what would you say? It could be any of the following all of which are truthful. Does your answer need to be different if your fiance lives in Orlando too?

1. Visiting family and friends
2. Holiday
3. Going to Disney and Sea World
4. Playing golf
5. Visiting my cousins
6. Visiting my aunt and uncle

They keys are that you are LEAVING on a jet plane on a certain date, you always have LEFT in the past and that you've never abused the visitor privilege by staying too long on any visit or spent more time IN the USA than OUT.

If asked a direct question, never lie. Where possible, tell a truth that raises no red flags.

Once I got engaged I had to suffer through an interrogation every time I went to visit him. I always brought paperwork that showed I had ties to Canada (letter from work, lease, bank statement, return ticket). You may get asked more questions and get a bit of heat, but generally as long as you can prove you won't be staying they will let you go visit.

It always went something like this:

Why are you going to the US? > to see my fiance
When did you get engaged? > (date)
Do you have a ring? > yes
Who is paying for your trip? > I am
Who is paying for your expenses when you're there? > both of us
Who paid for your ticket? > I did
Where do you work? > (job)
Do you have a return ticket? > yes

And then I'd offer them my left arm and it was fine

You bring this on yourself with the answer to question 1. My advice is to answer with a generic truthful answer. If it's a short visit, say two weeks, simply say "a two week holiday" or something more specific like "going to Disney...etc." if true. For longer visits of more than a month, "visiting family and friends". Saying you're visiting a fiance or spouse raises the red flag of potential immigrant intent. No need to raise that flag.

"AGE DIFFERENCE" at Cairo Embassy must not be too much of a problem since I'm 18 years older than my fiance and we were approved. I think that there's other issues when someone is denied. I have read alot on VJ thats talks about age difference and it made me so upset thinking we would be denied for that. Most times in alot of the post it always ends up being something else other than age. The best thing ppl can do is make sure they have evidence of their relationship, call logs, letters, receipts, photo's , emails, letters from family members saying they agree to your relationship. Anything that will show you have a real relationship. And If your income isn't enough make sure you have a co sponsor. And present yourself well at the interview, this is very important also. When you love someone you love them no matter how old they are, being it's of legal age of course..The best to the OP

Age difference is never the sole reason for a denial. It's a red flag that prompts additional scrutiny of the bona fides. The most important thing people can do is make sure the actually have and conduct a bona fide ongoing relationship for the right reasons and THEN document the relationship and be well prepared for the interview.

KEY is actually having a bona fide relationship and there is NOTHING one person can do to assure that. It takes TWO. The kicker is one person has no control over the other. Most denials in fraud cases are big surprises to the one being deceived.

The killer is being past child bearing age bur really anything more than a few years will bring extra scrutiny in this part of the world, when the woman is older. Other issues of concern in this case would be when and for what reason, the woman converted to Islam.

Actually, my fiancee (now wife) is from Russia but I lived with her for a prolonged period of time in Mexico commuting every day to work through the boarder. This can be another solution: depending on where you live you can commute from Mexico (or live there). I did it and during K1 interview in Moscow it was viewed EXTREMELY positively. In fact, she was no asked for ANY evidence but rather was asked a single question: "PLEAS, TELL ME, HOW DUID YOU MANAGE TO LIVE IN TIJUANA??" I recommend doing something similar. You do not need to live in Egypt. Both of you can move to country in which visa can be easily obtained for him and you can live there. Like Mexico.

I meant while waiting for CR1 in your case (in my case we were waiting for K1 in Mexico).
I would like to re-state: it is not only age difference. CO will NEVER bilieve that this is a true love (neither would I if I was CO) if you saw each other once a year (!), I think this is a combination the latter being even more important.

Living together abroad, whether Egypt or another country would produce a similar result.

DCF does not work in her case, she will have to file CR1.
For DCF she has to be resident in Egypt.

Correct, but the ultimate solution is to live together abroad for some significant time, so DCF could be an option. The could also file soon after marriage (not DCF) and then continue living together for several months DURING the process. Ultimately, it will be the time spent together as husband and wife that makes the difference.

They can probably wait for the petition to get back to USCIS and perhaps have an opportunity to appeal, get the petition reaffirmed, sent back to Cairo, visa denied again and THEN realize the correct solution. Depending on the service center though, they'll just lose several months, then get a letter telling them the petition approval is expired and they can file again if they wish. The profile says Texas Service Center, which is incorrect, so we don't know where the petition will be returned to.

Right.
But they'd said the beneficiary is 27. So we at least have a starting point.

Missed that. So, I take it the petitioner is most likely past child bearing age and it's the first marriage for the petitioner who has no children. If so, then there's a baseline but from that point, the bigger the difference, the higher the hurdle. Almost always the best course of action will end up being to both marry AND equally if not more important, arrange to spend significant time living together as man and wife abroad. Not an easy solution for most folks but easy and marriage to a much younger Egyptian male just don't go together. Forget easy.

So...

You've told us that he was denied due to your age difference in your first post.

Multiple people have asked just what kind of age difference are we talking about?
Yet as a response, you continue to say 'age isn't an issue'.
Apparently it is if it is the reason you got denied.

If you don't feel comfortable giving your exact age, how about an age-difference range?
< 5 years?
5-10 years?
10-15 years?
15-20 years?
20-30 years?
30-35 years?

Actually, I think it's critical to know the actual age difference. The answer to what to do next will be different depending on the age of the beneficiary. For instance a 20 year difference is viewed differently for an older male than a younger one. 60 and 40 is not the same as 40 and 20, even though the gap is the same.

To the OP,

We get that you don't think the age difference has an impact on your relationship. We also get that the Consular officers in Cairo DO consider the age difference in their evaluation of whether THEY believe the relationship is genuine. It is THEM you must convince, not yourself or us. To be blunt, THEY don't care a bit how you feel about him. It's all about what THEY think about HIS motivations.

My problem is when a man is older than a woman they approved their visa but when it comes to a woman why they do not approve. I do not look like my age and he do not look young either he is 27 and more mature than any man i have meet.. My question now is WHAT IS THE NEXT THING TO DO...

What to do next depends on whether you came here simply to object and complain or take constructive action. Your age difference is relevant in the eyes of the Consular officers who will make decisions about any visa. For us to help you, we need to understand your circumstances including not just the age difference but the actual ages, how many visits and for how long, how you initially became acquainted and anything else except your actual names, dates of birth and other private information that you think might be considered applicable to your situation.

You'll also want to ask you fiance to write as complete and accurate a description (think verbatim transcript) of his experience at the interview, specifically including the questions asked and answers given.

fiancee visa NEED HELP and ADVICE!!

yap i need more advice.. I'm about to send I-129F application but i am stuck due to my son's case.. i am thinking, i think k2 is not the proper for my son but in other hand maybe he can still use it cos he is my fiancee's son...i want them to come to U.S together...

K1 is proper only for your fiancee. The son needs an IR2 visa (immediate relative where 2 = child of US Citizen). The son will become a citizen once he enters the USA. You can apply for his US passport once he enters. The process starts by filing an I-129F for your fiance and an I-130 for the child.

K1: Red Flags Lagos !

Now WHY is it that if the female is a Caucasian you have to try more to convince and prove there is a relationship? That's ridiculous ... Well I guess I am really in trouble then cause not only am I Caucasian but i am older as well ... Oh !!!

The short reason why is that the older white woman with a younger man fits a common fraud profile from that region. Do some reading and be prepared.

Remember that the strongest evidence of a bona fide relationship is the time you spend together in person. If you have multiple visits, great. Make them as long as you possibly can, even if it is inconvenient.
