K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSomeone on disability and K-1 Visa

K3 visas are no longer in effect. He will have to apply for a IR-1 / CR-1 visa.

Here's the comparison between these visas http://www.visajourn...t/compare#ircr1


Yes and no. K3 visas are not available but US Citizens don't apply for visas. He would file a petition to start the process that would lead to the foreign spouse applying for a CR1 visa.

If it's the Philippines, he needs to get back there and get married. First check the requirements as it takes a couple weeks and some hoop jumping to accomplish it. He can then be successful with a qualified joint sponsor.



hello everyone.i am from the philippines and entered the united states on a k1 visa.i have a daughter who came in a k2 visa.my fiance <now my husband>is under disability.we had our interview at the u.s. embassy in manila without a co-sponsor. and we passed that interview and was issued a visa.


Not all disability is the same. If the disability income is sufficient to qualify, no problem. The subject at hand here is a petitioner without sufficient income.

HI VJ members. tell me if this is true. i hear that the NVC online payment system is not a convenient way of payment. is someone had troubleshout when trying to use that system? please help


You posted in the K1 visa forum and your profile says N/A visa. For a fiancee, no fees are paid to NVC. That would be for a spouse. Please clarify the visa category you're seeking and update your profile accordingly. That way, we can assure you get meaningful answers.

when the embassy sends the packet overseas does it go to my fiancees address listed on the i129f? or does it go to the us embassy in his country to pick up?


I think you are confused. The case file will be sent to the applicable Consulate and the Consulate will contact the foreign fiancee. Start by clicking on the word Guides, at the top of any page here.

The only "sealed package" is one your fiancee will carry with her to the port of entry after the visa is issued.

Good question but they tend to ignore that answer and use the address on the petition. To the OP, you have not applied for any visa. Your fiance filed a petition for fiance. When it is approved, YOU will apply for a visa in Germany. This means your Greek Birth Certificate will need to be translated to English.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa & Debt

Okay so its 1,000 dollars plus whatever interest in on the card. Its separated on two card Falabella and Ripley (Chilean companies). Apparently a new law in Chile just passed saying that anyone with less than 5,000 dollar debt it will not be on their records unless someone specifically looks at debt. So my question is will they look into his debt or not? He is going tomorrow since he is off to find out more information and start a payment plan.


No, neither USCIS or the US Consulate will not look at this debt. I expect the card companies would be happy to settle for the principal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa & Debt

My fiance was previously married and his ex wife put a lot of debt on his credit card. She never worked and used his credit card a lot when he discovered what she was going he obviously took away the card but the damage was done. She charged all of the furniture on his card. After a few months he ended the marriage bc she was cheating on him. He went to work and when he returned she had taken everything all of the furniture, all of his clothing everything. He literally had just the clothing on his back. She cleaned out everything. Then she disappeared after about two months he found her again. He had paid more than 50% of the stuff on the card. He spoke to her and she agreed to pay his bill from then on since she took everything with her. Since then they have been divorced and she has supposedly been paying the bills for about 3 years. Today he received a letter in the mail sent to his sister's house showing that not one payment has been made since his ex wife took over the payments. He called her and asked her about it and she said oh right I changed my mind since its not in my name so deal with it. She obviously isn't going to pay and the interest compounded on it is ridiculous. My question is can he still come to the USA if he has debt in Chile? Our plan is for him to pay a little now and when he comes here and finds a better paying job we would send the money to his sister who would pay his bill every month. The credit card is a store card like Macys or Sears. If anyone knows if this is going to stop him from coming to the USA please let me know.

Thank you so much!


The US will neither care about this debt or know about it unless something in his home country causes it to appear on a police report or the home country somehow invalidates his passport as a result of the debt. These are things to check out in the home country.

Yes, i read the link, i agree it is okay to marry, i dont know its just how i am, my conscience lays heavy on me, and would do if i entered knowing i had those plans, but had to tell the officer at the POE that i dont have those intentions. As of right now, im going to say i am enetering just to visit my GF, like i always do, and answer the usual questions, the getting married whilst there route is by no means dead yet, but i will wait until im with her in person to discuss it in depth, we may still end up doing that, but now, before i travel that is not my plan. Thanks anyway.


You don't address the intentions one way or the other. Just give a generic truthful answer, when asked the purpose of your visit.

Sure intent alone is not grounds for a denial of AOS, but it's visa fraud if you were to plan a trip here beforehand to get married and AOS. I don't see anything mimolicious wrote that is incorrect. I wouldn't want anyone reading this to get the false impression that it is OK to just plan a trip here to get married and AOS. While it may work for many people, it is still considered visa fraud and against the TOS.


Intent is a vaporous thing. Once somebody is in the USA, if they decide to marry an US Citizen and adjust status they can. To state that is not against the terms of service. To say they can't do it, is simply false. It's a common dance. Making false statements is like stepping on the other dancer's feet.

Just to make it clear, you can marry your girlfriend while here, but you cannot travel here with the intention to marry her and adjust status.


This is patently untrue. It may or may not work but while intent upon entry is grounds to refuse entry to the USA, it is not grounds to deny adjustment of status through marriage to a US Citizen. We tend to have to put down this myth about once a week here. Please don't perpetuate it.

I have read, and will re read all of the replies again soon. i do appreciate the help from everyone, i just need to know everything about everything to make the best decision. At the moment the only real advantage to taking the CR-1 is that it is cheaper and will allow me to work as soon as i arrive in the USA for good. My gut feeling at the moment is to stick with going the K1 route, admitted it is more expensive, but the time scale is the same, and on the front of it (No matter how likely or unlikely it is) there is less risk involved.

Like i said i will weigh it all up again tomorrow, when i have a clearer head. I already have started filling in the I-128f, before i go to see my girlfriend, and i will print off/take anything i need to with me when i leave, and post it off together (should we stick to that route). I will however discuss the CR-1 option with her aswell, see what she thinks of it. Its better to have the K1 stuff ready and prepared if we dont change our mind, then i dont have all the messing about sorting what we need out, last minute whilst visiting her, and taking up valuable time.

Again, thanks so much for the replies, each and everyone of the members on here i have met/spoken to so far, and youre all very helpful and friendly. Its a really good forum to be a member of.

On a side note, if anyone has recently self sponsored or co sponsored, or even just recently completed the K1 from the UK, Would you be able to message me or something, if youre willing to help, so that i know who i can talk to with any questions on the topics, rather than creating new threads.

Thank you so much! Take care, and good luck to anyone who are in their own personal visa processes!


I would not take anything with you that looks like you intend to immigrate to the USA. You can scan and email your birth certificate or mail it. If you complete any forms, do it in PDF and save them electronically, not on paper.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo sponsoring help!

Okay, thanks. I am just a bit wary of entering like that and marrying, purely because of the repercussions if we are thought to have lied, and had intentions to marry when i entered. I just get a bit of a feeling that im being "naughty" by doing it too. Im not disrespecting anyone who has done it, i just find it very risky. Also with the K1 route being about the same lenght/maybe a little shorter for the UK, that is swaying me more to stick to our plan of that. My girlfriend wont be earning that much, so we couldnt combine it. So co-sponsor is pretty definite.

Thanks for youre information anyway! :)


If you marry while in the USA, that won't be the only thing you do. You'll be "visiting" and "on holiday". Give truthful, generic answers. You are not violating any US laws by marrying a US Citizen while visiting. If, after you're already here, you decide to forego the visa process and simply adjust your status to permanent resident, that option is also available.

My wife and I couldn't do that because she couldn't visit from China. You are coming from the USA, I don't hold those visiting privileges against you, and anybody who does, you would be wise to simply ignore. You have three options, K1, CR1 or Adjust Status. Choose the one that fits your circumstances and desires wisely, when the time comes.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo sponsoring help!

I've had another thought after a bit of research. Seeing as i am visiting my girlfriend next week for 5 weeks. Could i visit as usual, and get married whilst there, and return and pursue the CR-1 route? I know that its not the right thing to do, by entering the US, telling the immigration officer that i only plan on visiting her, and i realise that should they find out that i had other plans, i could be deported/kicked out asap. I just want to know how risky it is to take that route, if the CR-1 route is any easier or quicker than the K-1, and any other implications that are there. I only know the very minimum about the CR-1 as i never needed to research it more, and i cant find anything, anywhere that says in particular i cannot enter on the VWP, and then get married "shotgun" i guess. I know i would have to return to the UK afterwards, but this will allow me to have a job and save, rather than the K1 route, which will see me unemployed for approx 3 months at least when i first arrive in the USA.

Thanks again.

Edit: Thanks Que saudade, so i dont need to declare the co sponsor until i receive notification of the I-129f being recieved?, I guess i will wait and see if anyone else can help with the self sponsor information too, and yes, i realised i would have to jump the hurdle again at the AOS stage, but as far as i understand the co-sponsor just needs to declare their income then, so im confused as to if i dont need to show a co sponsor until after the wedding and AOS. Surely they need to know that before hand, or is it a case of just telling them at the interview?


If you are in the USA visiting and decide to marry, that's not a problem. No special visa or permission is needed to marry in the USA. Marriage is not immigration. Once you are here and married, you have two paths open to you, the CR1 visa or adjustment of status.

Your $12,000 is not enough to self sponsor. For the K1, your fiancee and the cosponsor each provide an I-134 and supporting documentation just before or during the interview (varies by country). For the CR1, both provide the I-864 at the NVC stage. For adjusting status, both provide the I-864 in the initial filing.

Thanks so much for your input everyone. My job is in the States, I work online. My tax forms are all sent to my US address, which was why I was thinking it wouldn't be an issue.

Aren't they still going to wonder where we intend to live if I don't put my US address anywhere on the forms?

(oh I'd add my US address is nowhere close to where we are in Canada, it would be extremely difficult for us to see each other across the border and neither of us really want any part of that...that is like, worst case scenario for us.)


Your US address WILL be on the forms. Have you looked at the forms, all of them. More than one throughout the process asks for the address where the foreigner intends to live in the USA.

Perhaps I would list both places? I have no paperwork tying me to this Canadian residence so that would be difficult to prove. I fear that listing both would result in a red flag for them? I don't want an RFE.


Tell the truth on your forms. If you've been living in Canada, you've been living in Canada. Neither USCIS or the Consular Officer interviewing your fiance will care in the least what your status is in Canada.

You say you have a job. Unless you have a job IN THE USA, you'll need a cosponsor. Only income that will continue from the same source once you're in the USA can be used to qualify as the sponsor. You'll be leaving any job you have in Canada.

If you take the K1 route, all the earlier issues mentioned in other posts regarding domicile will vanish. I don't know WHERE your rural address is in relation to where you are now but unless there's some reason your fiancee can't enter the USA for visits, there's no reason you need to be separated for any more than a few weeks, at most.

Again, I'm CERTAIN your status in Canada is of no concern to ANYBODY who will be involved with your Canadian Fiancee's K1 visa process. Any lies will have devastating impact on the process though. My advice is put aside all the fears, study the process and get on with it.

She is not being banned, she has been banned.

If for example she had as she should have done applied for a B2 she would have also needed a d3 waiver.

But that would only have been for non immigrant purposes, if she sought to adjust she would need an immigrant waiver.

I do not know if there will be a misrep possible charge from using the VWP.

I am going to guess there was a new passport involved so her prior presence was somehow missed.


You're still ignoring that a ban is a ban on entry. You cannot ban entry when the entry has already taken place. There was no misrepresentation because there is no ESTA question regarding previous overstays. You've been ignoring BOTH those facts in this thread, presumably to pursue some false agenda. Please pay attention.

She left, the ban came into effect.

There is mention of an E2 so I am assuming she was in status until 21, but having left at 23 there would be a 10 year ban for illegal presence.

She then was able to renter on the VWP, another issue.

If she had stayed having entered legally I would agree she would have been able to adjust normally.


She is HERE, NOW. She entered legally. You cannot ban entry for somebody who already entered legally and is ALREADY HERE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOverstay as minor, able to file k-1?

Your best bet would be to get married and file AOS. You can stay in the US at that point. The only issue you might have, is if you are required to get police certificates from every country you've live in since you were 16. But I am not sure if that is required for AOS since I am going the K1 route. But if you are going to do it, you should do it before you leave on VWP.


Police Certificates are not required when adjusting status but the only country she's been in for more than six months since age 16 is the USA anyway. You don't get a police certificate for the USA. USCIS just checks the record themselves.

From the OP's story, don't think she qualifies for that either.




The police certificates shouldn't be a problem, since the OP says that she lived in the U.S. since age 7 and returned to S. Korea in her twenties...she could possibly ask relatives in S. Korea to assist with that process.


We went to Korea for three weeks. Not an issue.

Also, I concur, she does not qualify for the new deferral program because she is currently legal for one and because she left, she has not been continuously living here.

Yes. That's what I said. You must stay to complete the AOS though. Don't leave, even with advance parole.

Bans are not, hence the waiver.


Some context would help. If he/she stays to adjust status there is no ban. Bans are for people who are outside the USA. Waiver apply only after a ban is determined. You can't ban somebody from entering, when they are already here.

Yes, you can. You do not need to file before your time is up. You just need to make your decision before then and stick with it or you'll have a new overstay to deal with. Overstays are forgiven when adjusting status based on marriage to a US Citizen.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOverstay as minor, able to file k-1?

Usually I agree with your posts but there are 2 things here I do not:

From the London consulate web site:

those who have been refused admission into, or have been deported from, the United States, or have previously overstayed on the VWP are not eligible to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program

Now the INA I have not checked.

The overstay ban kicks in as soon as you leave, no need for their to be a finding, that would apply in D/S cases.


Yes, the OP got lucky in that they were not eligible for the VWP but because no specific question was asked about previous overstay, they got lucky. The best bet now is to stay and adjust status, as leaving again followed by a K1 or CR1 visa process WILL result in triggering a ban.

The DS230 is obviously not used in the AOS process and the I-485 does not ask the applicant about previous overstays or to list their previous visits.

The problem with my own recommendation is that the couple may not be ready to make the marriage decision before the current VWP visit expires. I'm just saying there is currently an open door.

He has rights as a father, US and Jamaica have reciprocity rights toward custody and childsupport within some states in the US. I really doesn't matter where he lives he has rights as a father.

He has the father has done no know harm toward the child, the parents are at conflict, not child and parent.

As the parent of the child she may have to deal with him for the next 18 years, if ther was no child she could leave him in the wind and hve no follow up. Since there will be a child between the two, they will have to deal with each other.


Perhaps. It depends on the father. However, having a child in the USA does not give father any open door to a visa to come to the USA. I doubt it would come to that but I suppose it's possible for the father to obtain a court order for the mother to bring the child to Jamaica for a visit at some point. It's certainly possible for the mother to obtain a court order for child support. Without court orders though, there are no 'have to's" regarding dealing with the father.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTranslation question

Hello all,

I have a question: I need to translate a bus receipt for an RFE. The RFE was the standard additional proof that we have met in person in the last two years.

The receipt is attached, besides the rather frustrating (now) fact that the cashier didn't align the text to the form (explained/apologized for), I am curious how you would approach the translation?

I created a separate two-column chart where I labeled the Mongolian side with "a", "b", etc. (see the BUS.VJ.pdf) in the first column and have the corresponding English in the second column. I attached a sample of that (see the Chart.VJ.pdf).


Should I, in addition or in lieu of, copy the layout of the receipts and put the translation into them? (easy enough). Which way is the clearest in your opinion? Anybody have experience?

Thanks for any advice in advance,


Unless you don't have boarding passes and/or passport stamps as primary evidence, you don't really have to use translated receipts at all. Do you have other primary evidence of being in the same country during the two years prior to filing the petition?

If I choose to remove one of the names and put it in the "other names used" section, should I continue using my shortened name on all other forms to prevent confusion or should I put my full legal name if it fits?
Thank You in advance!


Even if you have to hand write it, make it fit near enough to where it belongs, so that it is clear. If you've never USED another name then, in ADDITION, you could type your full legal name in the other names used space. Use this format. First Middle FAMILYNAME. Use ALL CAPS for only family names and country names.

It does http://www.visajourn...Form-G-325A.pdf it says Full Name and Address of Employer


For crying out loud. I KNOW what it says. Did you read what I wrote?

To be clear, "city and country" or city and State for the USA is sufficient for an employer address on a G325a. When self employed, simply self employed with an occupation in the next field is sufficient. If you want belt and suspenders, enter the home address or just "Self Employed from home".

There is no special field or "section" for the address of an employer.

Oh okay good idea! Of course it makes sense lol - Did you leave the address section blank or did you put N/A or?

Thank you for your help!

The G325a doesn't have an address section for employment.

Yes, the chances are things will change. I suffer from depression and anxiety and this is giving me a mood life and something to look forward to.
I'm excited to find out information about all of this! I know it's very early, but it's such a fun experience :D


Enjoy studying the process if it makes you happy. I'm not sure how many other members will enjoy answering your questions knowing you're years from knowing whether those answers will apply to you.

I can get that done easily.



In regards to something like Chat logs... How many would be appropriate, and about what? Me and my GF really lack chat logs as we Skype most of the time...


Lee,

You're three or four years from filing. Why not check back and study the guides at that time. Things change from time to time. With all the time the two of you have spent together, you're not really going to have problems with relationship evidence. Relax, until about a year before you plan to move to the USA and marry.
