K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Chances on a 3rd K-1 Visa	Hi everyone, I wanted to post a new topic to gather feedback from others and their experiences. The short story...I filed for a K-1 in 2005 it was approved and we married, but the marriage ended within weeks (mutual more my issues). I filed again in 2007 w/waiver and it was approved. After 4 years my second marriage ended in divorce. I'm on the verge of making plans to move overseas, but in the event that is delayed. What are my chances with a third immigrant visa over a 7-year period? I would appreciate any sound and constructive advice. many thanks in advance. What's the US status of ex-wives, if any?	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-06-23 14:12:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Where to wait during the POE inspection	My fiance and kids arrive on Sunday, August 7 at Detroit for their POE. Is it possible for me to be with her during the inspections? She will need to get her bags prior to the inspections. Anybody with a POE experience who can render assistance? Are the international baggage claim areas off-limits to non passengers? Yes, international baggage is off limits to non-travelers. You will have to wait outside the doors leading from the baggage claims. Since you're not traveling with her, you will not be able to be with them in the secondary for inspections.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-08-05 12:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Processing K1 but wins DVlottery	I am a 2004 dv winner. you need to get a letter saying you are a winner, than you need to check your DV number and if it has a chance 100,000 letters are sent but only 100,000 G.C are issued (me and my ex wife and two kids took 4 on one number so high number never gets processed) In 2005 ,when I actually got my G.C numbers above the mid 30-40,000 had a very little chance (my number was in the 18,000 and I got my G.C only in April and the last G.C issued in September. If you have the letter in hand and your number is low and you only starting your K1 application, only than I'd continue with the DV. If not, continue with the K1 process. Good luck As of this year, no more letters are sent - applicants have to go online to check if they were selected by using their confirmation number they received when submitting electronic entry.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-07-17 07:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Processing K1 but wins DVlottery	I also got an email saying i won the DV lottery last week but unfortunately i am at the end of the Visa process now and just waiting for interview. Just out of curiosity I wonder.....if for some awful reason i was denied K1 visa at interview, if i could then go ahead and use this winning DV lottery option...any ideas? Don't think UK is even eligible for DV - unless you claimed birth in Ireland.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-07-17 07:20:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 applied but met 4 yers ago and not in last 2 yers	They are now thinking about doing the Nikah (the islamic wedding) there and then file the CR-1. its just that they did not knew the 2 yrs meeting rule before they submitted the petition. Thanks for all the replies. Wait, he knew how to fill out the I-129f form but failed to read the INSTRUCTIONS where it clearly says what's to be submitted and what periods are covered? Page 1, Section Who May File this Form?, number 2 clearly states "and have met in person within two years before your filing of this petition" I strongly suggest your friend hire a lawyer in this case as he can't follow instructions and will mess up any other immigration petition filings.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-08-17 17:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Already been married	....but my boyfriend is American and technically if I marry him I will be able to stay in the US. That's why I was worried about the "timing" -- I do not want that whoever checks our papers will think " Oh wait a minute he just got divorced, what if this is a fake thing?" You know what I mean? Hopefully I didn't make any confusion LOL What do you mean stay in the US? What is your current status?	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-08-24 09:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Should I write a letter to embassy to cancel the k1 visa?	we finally decided to end this relationship. it was hard for both of us specially after all we've been through. even now I have the visa in my hand but we cant continue anymore should I write a letter or send an email to the US embassy and ask to cancel the visa? and mention that I wont come to US As I am the alien fiancee, is it my responsibility to write any letter , if so what should I write? I'm planning to come to US via student visa, and becoz of that i should avoid any bad reputation. do you have any idea what should I do? Well the petitioner should be the one to withdraw the petition and you as the beneficiary want to also notify the embassy you will not be going through with the visa. Letter or email to the consular section with your case number, DOB, petitioner name and withdrawal information should be sufficient.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-08-24 07:08:00

I passed interview but the oficcer asked my fiance to send him more finantial documents. My fiance is in Military. Now he is not on active duty, he doesnt work as i understand he is in active reserve. but 2010 he almost spent in Iraqi. So he sent tons of bank statements and W2 and 1040 for year 2010.

The Petitioner does not need to send us his whole MMPA printout, just an official statement of his yearly salary and regular cash payment benefits."

We got fight with my fiance bcuz of this...we cant understand what exactly they want to see and who can give that official statement...maybe it's pay stubs or idk / cryyyyyyyy thank you all Letter from his CO on official military letterhead stating his name, rank (title) and yearly salary.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-08-29 13:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Surprise you have a 4 year old daughter!!!	I'm NOT advocating tellling a lie, but just curious.... How could they ever know/find out about about an 'out of wedlock' child in an interview? Well, non-disclosing and then later (if it proves it's his child) he turns around and petitions the daughter, or his new wife does, WILL raise issues and possible misrep charge if it's not disclosed at the interview. So new information surfaced after I-129f submission - at the interview time, come clean, provide DNA proof and proceed from there. They do have everything you ever submitted in your A-file (envelopes included). Any discrepancies not rectified or mentioned at the interview can come back to haunt them.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-07-22 07:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Surprise you have a 4 year old daughter!!!	He says EVERYTHING will stay the same. I'm not mad at him. But on all the forms I've put no for kids. So they see maybe he has a kid. This better be disclosed at the interview if he or you is ever to petition the child. I'd still ask for DNA now - someone jsut showed up one day and told him he has a 4-yr old child?	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-07-21 10:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	thinking of changing from K-1 to CR-1... advice?	Since you just mailed the petition last week, put a stop on the check and that will get it returned to you - whole petition.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Brought fiance. And things didn't work out. She won't leave	Thank you all so much for the advise. I feel a lot better now. I paid for all her items to travel with her and she has no keys or mail or any property with me. I was trying to do the right thing by sending her back home, but I guess she has other agenda and I didn't want to get wrapped up in her scheme. She's been gone since the 5th of august. She just contacted me today saying I'm "Obligated" to buy her yet another ticket now that she's decided to go home. I can't afford it. Thanks again She could've called the airline BEFORE her departure date and cancelled the ticket - she'd have the funds from the original ticket to use for future travel (only had to pay for any change fees). Don't feel bad, you did all the right things, it's down on her now to get herself home.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-09-09 20:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Help me!!k1 interview the case been suspended!	I've never heard of a suspension of a case, it's either approved or denied..suspension suggests that you can't even appeal, is that the case or can you appeal? Look, consular officer can ask for more proof of relationship if she/he deems what they submitted is not enough and doesn't show a true relationship - that's why they got asked for more proof and not denied. It's on the applicant and beneficiary to provide the information and convince the visa officer they have a bonafide relationship. I see a lot of things thrown out by the OP blaming the co but all I get is she had an attitude with visa officer and the person dug more into the file. Where was the petitioner, why wasn't he there with OP? OP has been a member for close to a year, she never thought to drop by Chinese regional forum and ask hey, what do we need for interview, China consulates are not easy on K-1 visa applicants?	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-09-09 20:11:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Expatriating after the fact?	I wasn't sure how to name this thread because I'm asking a weird question. My fiance and I are going through the K-1 Visa process and our I-129F was just approved. He's moving over here to the US, where we plan to get married and live for a good while, etc. My question is, if he moves here and becomes a citizen, will it be very difficult for us if we decide we'd rather live in the UK in the future? I'm just not sure how all of that works or how to go about searching for that particular info on my own, so I'm curious. Any help would be appreciated. Not a problem - after he gets his citizenship you'll start the process for UK immigration - should be similar to what you're going through now except it will be a spousal visa and you'll have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) status.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-10-06 16:21:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is this marriage feasible?	I spoke with my boss about this today (before posting here) and he did mention that if I had a spouse, they (the company) would need to "take care of the paperwork for that". He said this knowing that I am not currently married and that my fiancee is living in Colombia. He also mentioned he is aware that if she was to become a U.S. citizen, she would need to stay in the U.S. for some time without leaving. He is also the one sending me to Africa in July. --- Considering all of this, I sense that they would work out the paperwork for her (otherwise he would have pointed out that it's not possible at the moment since she needs time to naturalize in the U.S.). He also said family life in this situation is actually quite doable, "especially in Africa, where laws are loose on this." Also, obviously I am not working for the U.S. government, but the first question/answer here offers some guidance none the less: http://www.state.gov.../flo/c23169.htm So, the Dep. of State would sponsor it. What do you mean DOS would sponsor it? Unless you're a DOS employee, they will NOT sponsor it. Edited by milimelo, 17 October 2011 - 04:27 PM.	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-10-17 16:26:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 help!!!!!!	so at the time of sending the I-129 do I have to send this form as well or no?? No, the I-134 is needed for his interview at the embassy - probably 8 months from now. I-864 when you send for his AOS after you're married in the US. I suggest reading the guides for K-1 visa followed by the guides for Adjustment of Status from Family based visa (K1) so you're familiar with the process(es), the forms needed, documents required, evidence to be sent and of course $$$ to be paid. Guides are at the top of each page and you already found K-1 visa forum. The AOS forum is a bit further below. Good luck!	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-12-09 20:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 help!!!!!!	and what wouuld be the form that this person has to fill out? Before your fiance interviews at the embassy both you and the co-sponsor will have to provide I-134 (look it up on uscis.gov). For adjustment of status both you and the co-sponsor will have to provide I-864 and supporting documents (3 past years of tax returns, employer statement that you're working and a statement from you if you're not required to file taxes due to low income/non-employment).	milimelo	Female	Bosnia-Herzegovina	2011-12-09 20:24:00
