You can never petition for in-laws, where did you get that idea baron? USC can petition for their parent, but not for an in-law.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support. Please, help!
Anna, any US citizen or LPR can be a joint sponsor. They need to fill out I-864 form and provide proof of income (tax returns past 3 years, letter from employer, pay stubs, copy of green card or US passport). Petitioner even when not making enough money still has to provide I-864 and supporting documents.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist Visa Before (And After, Sort Of) K1

its not lying.. and if the officer asks a question, and u answer it, if he/she asks another, then answer it..

BUT IMHO, its not wise to answer simple question (what is your purpose in USA?) with a 20 min soliloquy of things you think they may want or need to hear..
as they say on the Court Tv shows.. "JUST THE FACTS".. you shouldn't try to give up answers to questions that he did not ask..

i am not a Border Agent but i did sleep at a holiday inn express


Ever completed a tourist visa application? It has specific questions on purpose of visit, places and names/addresses of where you will be staying. For a "friend" you also have to list all of their contact phone numbers, fax and email address and it's not uncommon for CO to even call up the person mentioned to double check the facts.

You need tax returns - 2011, 2010, and 2009. They can be obtained by calling IRS 1-800 number if they have a fax machine right next to you they can fax them immediately to your fiance. Otherwise, you get them in 5-10 business days.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance entered the US illegally can I still file k1 visa?

If he is already here, no reason to file for a K visa.


But they have to file for either CR-1, or K-1 - as he is in the country ILLEGALLY. He needs to leave before he turns 18,5 so he doesn't get a ban.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresis my fiance a fraud?
Very likely he is a fraud and is only using OP as a way to get into the US and remain. His 7 failed attempts at tourist visa clearly indicate this as well as his current attitude to the OP -- I guess he didn't study the process well enough to realize without marriage and AOS he's not in the clear. At least some benefits of the K-1 visa.

OP - you were given email addresses for IV and ACS - write a letter withdrawing your petition attach it to the email and then also follow up with fax/snail mail to the Embassy in Kingston and USCIS.
You don't necessarily have to tell the beneficiary you are withdrawing the petition, but if you do, do follow what someone else said to put fraud alerts with credit bureaus for your SSN - you never know what he might attempt to use against you.

If you suspect fraud, mention that in the email to the embassy - your choice.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescan a k1 visa be denied if my fiance was illegaly/ undocumented in the U.S for about 7 years?

my fiance and i met here in the U.S while he was undocumented/illegal. he was here for about 7 years .. and about 2 years ago he went back to mexico. He didn't get deported though!..on the application it asks if he has ever been in the U.S..which he has!.. does this have any bearing on the k-1 visa being approved?..being that he was here undocumented?



Yes, it does. He has to list all his residences/employers on G325a and other paperwork that asks for it. Lying can get you misrepresentation ban - non-waiverable. His presence in the US without paperwork for that long - I believe that's a 10 year ban - so you will have to show extreme hardship in a waiver before they'll issue him a visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 VISA

I divorced my first wife then I engaged a different women . And I would like to apply for her but how can I close my ex wife case which was i130 case


When they approved your I-130 petition, they sent you a notice of action (NOA 2 - I-797C). On it there is an address where you can write and withdraw your petition. Make sure to include that notice, divorce copy. Make another copy of the entire packet and send it to NVC.

In less than a month you will receive another mail from them saying you have withdrawn your petition. THEN you can file for I-129f for your fiancee.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to Cancel or Withdraw K-1 Petition?
Write a letter and fax it or email it to the embassy then send it snail-mail.
You can do the same to notify the USCIS but since they're already done with your case since it's in the embassy, not sure if you need to do this.

You can notarize it in your bank.

Letter can go:

US Embassy in XXXX

I hereby notify you that I no longer want to proceed with the processing of the fiancee petition - case number XXX000000, beneficiary name XX, DOB XXX, address XXXX.

Signed

petitioner.

I am not sure if you need to state your reason as I don't think it matters to them as long as you, the petitioner, are withdrawing the petition.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmy fiancee visa expired from jordon. help

I'm lost as to how he needs divorce papers when he's here on a K1. Is it from someone else?


No, I think OP is saying that her fiance arrived on a tourist visa and his I-94 expired back in July. She wants to petition him for K1 visa and even considered marrying him but he wants to go home to see his kids and also has unresolved/unfinished? divorce to take care of in Jordan. Will also have a 3-yr ban on entering US since he is 180 days past his I-94 expiration date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 and HPV

So this is a hypothetical question. I know that having HPV isn't a reason for denial.
I'm freaking myself out though since I'll be having my medical exams soon and I although I'm pretty sure that I don't have it, I wanna ask something.
I know that the doctor at some point asks " do you have any STDs?". What if I, for example, have HPV but don't know it because I have no symptoms?
Will that be concidered as a lie to the doctor and therefore will cause a denial, or they don't even test for HPV, but only for HIV, syphilis etc?


They don't test for HIV anymore - from 2010 I believe. They certainly don't test for HPV. At one time they required vaccination for all women under 26 for HPV (Gardasil) but that requirement was removed some time ago.

Syphilis they still test for. You answer questions to the best of your knowledge - so if it is a no, it's a no.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSwitching K1 to CR1

Hi! Well all us people having our petitions at California Service Centre might wonder if we should change...I have a hard time deciding from the stats if it pays...granted depends on how much time you are into it. My personal issue is I have an elderly dad(90) in a facility in Canada and I am worried the longer it goes on...the longer it will take me to get Advanced Parole to travel if I need to go to Canada. I am an only child and things are fine now but it is a worry. CR1 comes with Advanced Parole and ability to work etc. And for heavens sake looks like it is cheaper...What do you think? btw i realise it is starting over..but given the timelines..is it that much worse or better?


Since you only recently sent in your petition and given your circumstances - withdraw the K-1 petition, come to the US and get married and start the CR-1 process. When you do city hall/judge marriage ceremony, ask about "walking the signed marriage license to the registrar and requesting expedited issuance of the marriage certificate" - also get 3-4 extra copies.

You should have no problems visiting during I-130 processing as long as you have the usual ties to Canada - work letter, return ticket, mortgage/lease, property ownership...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDad is in US, Will it affect my Visa approval?

Hi guys, I'll have my interview on may 14th, I'm on the process of filling out the documents but I noticed that it asked if my father/mother is in US and has an immigrant visa. My dad left us here in Philippines when I was 5 years old and started his own family when he went to US. He's an American Citizen now. He visits me and my sisters every 2 years. I'm afraid to declare that my father is in US because the consular might ask a lot of questions regarding it and forget that Hey I'm applying for a fiance visa, but I'm also afraid that if I don't tell them about it  then they found out then I'll be in doom. I need help. Thank you.

 

 

You have to disclose all info - in your case you will put father USC and that's it. Nothing really to worry about you're going on K-1 visa.

No. Needs to be a LPR or USC for sponsorship and has to send in proof of either a copy of green card or passport/birth certificate for USC. Also needed tax transcripts of the last three years  - if it's a non-USC and non-LPR they wouldn't have any taxes to report (*except in certain cases where IRS would want their share based on substantial presence test)

i didnt withraw the app coz i want to try my luck. but u dont have to worry urself about the reason, all i want is to know which is faster of the two. i got the answer i wanted.. thanks anyhow

 

Well, since you never met the beneficiary you filed for, it will be denied (check out his extreme hardship topic from May). Also, you can't file petition based on marriage since you're not married - that would require you to go to the Philippines and get married there or in some third country.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to Cancel a K1 visa application?

NOA2 has an expiry date of about 4 months.  You should be fine. 


Beyond that as a beneficiary you cannot cancel a petition. 


 

I don't think that it won't have any effect. There was another topic on this issue - pretty much the same situation and they were told at the interview that the K-1 petition (1st one) has to be withdrawn first - there was no visa issued. Check it out in PI forum, not sure if there were any recent updates.

They're not going to deny your I-129f for this.

 

Here's the thing - you spent close to 90 days from March to mid-June. You then left the country and mere two weeks later expected to be let into the country for two more months. They denied you as it looked like you wanted to live in the US.

 

Stay put until you get K-1 visa. Fiance can come visit you in Germany.

Once submitted, you can't get the DS-160 back. You should've done screenshot or print out of the application before hitting submit.

 

Was B1 done before you met the boyfriend or during this relationship?

 

I've seen cases denied as people claimed they wanted to visit family/relatives/friends but failing to disclose boyfriend/fiance(e) and then attempting to connect tourist visa application with fiance(e) relationship for length of time. And yes, new DS-160 has a spot for fiance(e) in US just like mother, father, siblings, other relatives.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat happens to old K1 Fiance Applications?

Venture over to the Philippines forum and you'll see couple of topics on this.

 

What happens is that petition makes it fine through USCIS with approval but consular people give you 221g for having the second petition still in the system - they won't approve and issue visa until this has been dealt with.

 

Can't you have someone go talk to the ex-fiance with a prepared letter that he just needs signed and mailed to USCIS? It's literally couple of sentences: I, name, DOB, petitioner of the I-129f petition XXXnumber, hereby request cancellation of this petition. Signed, dated, sent. It would go to the same service center you send I-129f petition to and that's listed on your NOA1 notice.
