K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How much is "Enough"?	Thank you so much for advice! Really appreciate that! Listen, take the time to find all the evidense you can.. Search for all photos of you and your S/O and any pics with your family and S/O, you and your S/Os family. Don't leave anything out... Think of it like your life depends on it.. I was ready for a fight for our interview.. we rehearsed, quized ourselves with all the questions they may ask and it turned out super easy and super fast with hardly any questions.. they didn't look at anything.. But when I walked in to the Embassy, I know we were ready for anything.. Good Luck Kenny	kennym	Male	Colombia	2010-11-06 00:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can a Canadian with passport just come to US and decide to marry US citizen?	If your intention before you cross the border from Canada to the U.S. is to get engaged and marry someone inside the U.S., then no, you can't. If you went to the U.S., and spontaneously decided to get married, yes you can. You would get married, and then adjust your status. I beleive the distinction is, you can get married whether its planned or not, however, you cant enter the US with the intent of marrying and Adjust status.. You will need to return to Canada after your married and Petition for your spouse... If you're already in the US and suddenly decide to marry then you can marry and adjust status.. You just cant enter the US with the intent to Marry and AOS.. there is no issue with planning to enter the US and Marry, you just can stay,,,	kennym	Male	Colombia	2010-11-24 00:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extremely important for newbies K1 visa	The thin skinned who over-react have a tough time with this process.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extremely important for newbies K1 visa	Of course, but I have no idea what this has to do with the discussion. When false information is given, it needs to be corrected with clear and direct true statements. The member's success in the process is far more important than the feelings of the person unknowingly making false statements and certainly far more important than how a reader might feel about somebody else's false statements being corrected. Along with not being all equally edumacated on the immigration stuff, we are also not equally diplomatic on how we say things.. We all have our own personalities.. One thing about the internet, people involved here are from all parts of the globe, so that brings diferent backgrounds, culture, experience, and personalities... But.... ........Happy Thanksgiving...	kennym	Male	Colombia	2010-11-24 23:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Extremely important for newbies K1 visa	All I beleive the reason for the RFE is obvious... There isn't any suggestion that photos alone are sufficient evidense of meeting in person in the last 2 years.. It has always been secondary evidense.. nothing has changed from USCIS Perspective.. Primary Evidense is Boarding Passes, Passport stamps, hotel & Credit Card Reciepts.. Photos are necessary, but is secondary evidense and should never be excluded from you initial submittal.. As far as birth certificates, it is the same as always.. Copies are fine.. If they need the original, they will ask for it at the interview.. Always send copies of your personal documents and evidense. The originals can be shown at the Interview... Repeat: Nothing has changed.. it appears the confusion is with the OP thinking that photos were sufficient proof of meeting in person in the last two years.. Photos alone has never been considered as primary evidence... Repeat for all new-members: Nothing has changed.. ONE OTHER CRUCIAL DISTINCTION IS: THere is a huge diference between "proof of meeting in person within the last 2 years" and "Proof of ongoing relationship"... To be succesful, you must keep that distinction clear and separate.. You need to show proof of Meeting in Person within the last two years for your Initial Petition (I-129-F) This include both Primary Proof and Secondary Proof.. Then after the Petition is approved... You will need to show proof of On-going relationship to the Conusalte Officer durring the interview.. You will also need forms of Primary Proof as well as forms of secondary proof... Any Questions?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	ki 221(g) asking for co sponsor	Push, I think those two will be looked at the same, actually. I don't think they are looking at "credit-worthiness" which would be the only distinction between the two. In fact, the young waitress might have more potential because she is just starting out. In any case, I'm wondering if having CDs or something else would be better than having cash in the bank or if its all the same. Hadn't thought of the fraud aspect of recent cash acquisitions. We're all human tho, I hope not to let the conspiracy theory take over in my mind. I can only present the real evidence as it exists. In what reality does "What you Think" matter??? It's what the CO thinks!!! What evidence are you refering to? The evidence of recieving a huge cash deposit? Are you sure you want the CO to know about that? I believe you should stop giving advise on "what you think" it's not sound advise and helps nobody...	kennym	Male	Colombia	2010-12-21 18:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Am I being stupid?	Today I was speaking with a man that claims to know the immigration laws. He has put doubts in my mind as the motivation of my Colombian Fiance. He told me that I am legally responsible for her for 10 years after she arrives here in the US under the K-1 visa and we marry. Even if we divorce. Rich. There is a limited truth to his claim as others have explained,, I am married to a Colombiana, what is it about his comments that make you doubt her intentions? Does he know your fiancee? The more important question is; Do you know your fiancee? Only you can know the answers... Although, there are many factors playing into relationships, dont dismiss any behaivior, in terms of how she treats you, as "cultural diferences".. Love and Emotions are pretty much universal, so go with your gut on this... Dont be played, and dont be paranoid either... I know it's not easy, but there are many people in the US who will make you doubt the intentions of someone they dont know, simply because All Aemricans beleive the only thing a foriegn fiancee wants is a greencard.. There is no doubt that exists, but I know it's not the only motiviating factor.. there are the genuine reasons for wanting to be with someone.. Do you know your fiancee well enough to believe her motives, or does you friend know her well enough to make you doubt her?	kennym	Male	Colombia	2011-08-28 07:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	2011 Tax Write-Offs for K1 Fiancee & Child Visa	You pay taxes on parking meters? Our taxes went down 1/4% here and I still pay 50 cents for 2 hours. VA income is not taxable. There used to be a time when LOTS of stuff was deductible, even interest on credit cards! Ah the good old days. I dont think the question was about whether or not the fees were taxable, the questions is, could he take a deduction for the fees... Re-Read the posts and then answer.. Since I am in the process of getting a K1 Fiancee Visa for my future wife and her daughter. Is there any tax writes offs for this process ? Once married "we' will get a child tax credit deduction of $1000. By the way, we all have been doing taxes for years and we get the the part about deductions and tax credits for family, agian, that wasnt the question... Based on the math done by my accountant I am going to go from filing single to married and from just me to four of us. Apparently while I get a tax deduction for all four of us I also get a tax credit for the minors, something like $3,000 or $3,500 each. My take home pay will increase about $1,000 a month as a result. I am not doing this for the money! That's the way the tax code works. I have been claiming Single Zero for 30 years and paying a boatload of bucks. You'd think monies that you pay the government would not be taxable. Do you pay a tax on traffic tickets? A tax on parking Meters? A tax on VA income? Nope.	kennym	Male	Colombia	2011-09-29 11:43:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	England to USA, K-1 Visa	Kenny - People who are moving to the US from another country had better "over analyze" it. It's a big decision. In the end of stressing, there is a good chance they will still encounter unexpected challenges.. Regardless of where they decide to stay.. Over analyzing is a futile effort.. Because it requires a crystal ball.. No one can be sure of the future, so the real question is, do yo love each other.. Millions have plowed through challenges either here or anyplace, so just decide what works best.. Either way, because it is the US and England, you aint stuck if you change your mind later..	kennym	Male	Colombia	2011-10-08 09:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	England to USA, K-1 Visa	Guys, Sounds like you've gotten a lot of good advise and some people want to dscourage you about things in the US... My only advise is this; Dont over analyze this.. The US can be whatever you want it to be.. If you're commited to each-other, then you can make it work regardless of what life throws at you.. Don't be discouraged by the comments regarding the US, frankly the bad stuff can be found regardless of where you live.. The reasons for your descisions are "Your Reasons", the only question is, are you commited to each other and can you work through whatever life throws at you together? If you answer that question, then it doesnt matter where you decide to live.. There are millions of people happy here in the US, just like there are in UK, and any other country.. What makes you happy?? In terms of the immigration, there are a lot of good advise and resources here.. Good luck..	kennym	Male	Colombia	2011-10-08 01:54:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	my fiance is moving before my arrival	lovelove, please be careful about listening to people at the USCIS hotline... There is plenty of stories about the wrong information comming from them... The rest of you, the items you quoted say the same thing as I've been telling you.. They do not say, not to report, specifically it says all aliens are required to report change of address... The AR-11 specifically states "ALL ALIENS"... Every thing you guys are quoting states all non us citizens are required to report... Are you reading the content of the links you are posting... See this link near the bottom of the page.... Source - Additional Information - Source Additional Information The address reporting requirement should not be confused with renewal or replacement of lawful permanent resident cards (Form I-551) or replacement of other evidence of alien registration, such as the Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record; I-186, Nonresident Mexican Border Crossing Card; I-688, Temporary Resident Card; or, I-766, Employment Authorization Document. I have beat this issue to death.. And have dificulty with the fact that all the sources everyone refers me to, states specifically what I have been saying... Read your sources, you will find that all Non-US Citizens are required to report, and the I-94 does not count for the AR-11... I guess, if you choose to do otherwise, it's your lives.. But the sources everyone has pointed to, are all extremely clear... I wouldnt risk my immigration.. For the Item above person, refering to Special Registration, It is a special category, See Below... See Source The National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS, INS Special Registration)[1] is a system for registration of certain non-citizens within the United States, initiated in September 2002 as part of the War on Terrorism and terminated as of April 27th, 2011 [2]. This system has two separate portions: port-of-entry registration and domestic registration. In each case, the registree is required to be fingerprinted, photographed, and interrogated. In addition, they are required to provide detailed information about their plans and updates to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in case of changes in plans. They are also able to travel to and from the US via certain ports only. So, I've about beat this to death, those that dis-agree, it's ok, but I would recommend that everyone who is concerned about ensuring their family Immigration Status do thier own research...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	my fiance is moving before my arrival	Harpa Timsah so, you are interpreting the statements, which says all non-us citizens to exclude non-immigrant visas also.. Can you provide us with that exception? The DS230 Question #10 is; 10. Permanent address in the United States where you intend to live, if known (street address including ZIP code). Include the name of a person who currently lives there. So, if this is diferent than where you actually live, there is no need to update USCIS? Please for the rest of us; where does it say you don't need to update the USCIS if this has changed? and where does it say that the I-94 is the method to update this? If there is specific instruction which says you dont need to update the USCIS on a K1 visa, or if there are specific instructions that says the I-94 is allowable method to update these documents, I will accept that I have been wrong.. Otherwise, I wouldnt give advise simply because "you think" or "you feel".. If There is a huge diference between how you would do things and what what the rules say, We should always state the what the rules say, not what we think..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	my fiance is moving before my arrival	Penalties for Failure to Comply A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of moving to the new address is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, you (or parent or legal guardian of an alien under age 14 who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA § 266(b)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of your stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize your ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I ask you; Is it worth the risk?

YUP!!!! Would you stake your life on it? I wouldn't... The process says to complete the AR-11, it does not say to leave the info with CBP... If you give advise contrary to the published process, it is dangerrous advise and could result in problems for anyone following the advise... I dont believe the USCIS would accept.. "Well Rebecca Jo said...." as a acceptable explaination... Not following the process as outlined is risking your entire immigration status.. THe fact is, all non us citizens must report thier current address using the AR-11. If it meant only Permanent Residents, it would specifically say that.. It also says, the proper method to report current address is to use the AR-11.. If there were alternate methods, it would state that... Always follow the proper procedures... That way, if any questions come up later, you're covered.. If you dont follow the proper procedure, you are not covered and have no recourse..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	who in their right mind would sign the I-864????	So, it really comes down to the petitioner. We place what is arguably a heavy burden on them, and if it forces a few of them to think it through and decide against getting married to someone they don't really trust, I guess that's the best we can hope for. Choose your spouse wisely, and sign with reckless abandon. Absolutely agree.. I wonder why my point doesnt come across so well... Why? Why should anyone get means tested benefits? The people that get them don't pay for them? I strongly disagree with every social program out there, other than disability. Seriously, other than disability and SS every person who gets any other sort of social benefit does not pay for them. One could argue that the top 10% pay the taxes for every single means tested benefit out there. One could also argue that the bottom 60% doesn't even pay enough taxes to pay for the roads they drive on. I see no violation of rights to take social benefits away from USC. In fact, I feel it is more a violation of the rights of the "real taxpayers... the people in the top 25%" to force them to pay for other people's welfare benefits.

The US Goverment, can limit those coming in from outside the US who aren't USC's... That's what the 864 attempts to address... If you're sponsering someone, they make the sponser responsible...

Your insults are naive and you're getting way to worked up for nothing.. It may have been a poor way to deliver a point, but that's why I dont work for CNN... It is simply not the responsibilty of American Taxpayers, to take care of a person who the Petitioner decided wasn't the right person for them or the beneficiary felt it wasnt working for WHATEVER Reason.. the place to decide the relationship is going to work is before the arrive.. and then, if it still fails, then it's the USC's responsibilty..

The reality is, very few of the immigrant fiances hightail it back to their country after divorce. You just said it, you'd hightail it back to where you get free health care. Well, in the case of most the place they will get free health care is right here in the US... at the USC's expense potentially for the rest of their life. A ludicrous risk for a USC to take on... especially one that doesn't make a high income or has known his/her fiance for a limited period of time. Again.. the point is not divorce, its about the responsibilty that comes with petitioning for someone,, If you cant handle the responsiblity, dont sponser anyone..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	who in their right mind would sign the I-864????	Raymondreason- You are absolutely correct. I can honestly say that for myself, signing this document will be one of the most foolish things I have ever done in my life. The things we'll do for love. Fortunately, similar to you I have been with my fiance for over 5 years... but signing this document will still be one of the stupidest things I have ever done. I agree.. make taxpayers responsible for the rash descisions of their fellow Americans.. The 864 provides excellent incentive for anyone sponsering a foreigner, to ensure they're thinking it all through and it's not for the wrong motives... This form is NOT designed around popularity, it is likely due to all the mistakes made by horny men who think their girl friend is coming here only to rock thier world, and when the men realize, that wasnt thier intention, they feel they can dump em off to the American Taxpayers...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	who in their right mind would sign the I-864????	Is this I-864 form REQUIRED with your financial information and reports, and with the I-134? I don't remember sending or using it the first time I did this about 4 years ago. Hey GringoD In reading the recent instructions for P4 in Colombia, it is required for the Interview...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	who in their right mind would sign the I-864????	There are way too many people who jump into a relationship for various reasons and bring a non-USC to the US and then realize it's not the what they thought it was.. she isn't barefoot and pregnant and waiting for you to come home with her lengerie and your slippers. Since it's not ameicas job to act as your counselor or your bank, that's the reason for the 864. If the relationship turns out bad due to unrealistic expectations or simply incompatiblity, they feel they can simply treat thier forreign spouse like a peice of merchandise and ship'r back. The 864 is designed to keep immature people from making mistakes out of hasty thoughtless descisions and then leaving the rest of Americans responsible for someone who wouldnt be here had it not been for a rash descission by a thoughtless American.. If petitioners aren't in this for the right reasons, why would you want to let otheres pay for your mistakes... Edited by kennym, 16 October 2011 - 02:26 PM.	kennym	Male	Colombia	2011-10-16 14:23:00
