K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Qualifications
You can tell her that she's not applying for a tourist visa where they look to her economic resources and ties to Colombia to overcome the presumption that a person will stay in the U.S. and not return to their home country. Instead, you've petitioned the U.S. as a U.S. citizen to allow her entry into the U.S. for the sole intent of her getting married to you within 90 days. They mostly just want to make certain that your relationship and intent to get married is bonafide (and of course there are other things they look at such as you meeting the financial support requirements for your family size, criminal history for you both, her medicals, etc.)

Other than verbally telling her to reassure her, you could always suggest she read the K-1 Visa requirements for herself (I chuckle a little saying this because I've suggested such to my fiancee, but in the end she decided to just trust that I read them, lol).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does one determine the income shortfall
Oh, quick typo edit of the above (which it won't let me do)....


I "do" believe the law was designed to recognize the fact that you make sufficient income (not the typo of "don't").

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does one determine the income shortfall
First off, let me preface what I say below by stating that the fact is that your income is well above poverty threshold that is used and it is my belief that you can accomplish your objective of proving that to the CO assigned to your case a couple of different ways. My understanding is that's what you need to do---show to the satisfaction of the CO that your set of facts/circumstances meet the level of assurance that the government is looking for in regards to your "family unit's" economics.

The first way I believe you can satisfy the CO is by showing documentation of your current income along with the past 3 years of tax returns/transcripts. Documentation of current income can come from showing the payments from the partnership's account to your personal account. Copies of the cancelled checks (I know, most accounts don't get those anymore) written to you from the partnership's account along with copies of the corresponding deposits into your personal account. A statement from your bank detailing your deposit activity for the year. Even though it is you and not your partnership sponsoring your fiancee, I'd have my year-to-date business P&L handy with me in Bogota as well.

You're in the same line of work as you were before and can show your past earnings history and capability with the tax returns/transcripts. Although as a partner in a partnership you don't receive W-2 wages, you do receive partner draws. Some partnerships choose to also pay a partner a guaranteed payment off the top (which is similar/synonymous to a salary, just isn't considered W-2 wages since a partner isn't an employee) for services rendered prior to paying out partner draws. Just like a W-2 employee can use his pay-stubs for the current year, you providing documentation of the monies paid to you from the partnership provides the CO with evidence of your current income.

Now, if you or someone else feels that taking the above route leaves open some risk, or is more documentation than you'd like to provide at the time of the I-134 (oh, by the way, isn't the I-134 100% of poverty threshold and the I-864 the 125% one?), then there's another route you can take. I'm running short on time, so I'll have to follow-up, but the other route you could consider is becoming a W-2 Wage employee during 2011.

How can you do that when you are a partner in a partnership? Well, off the top of my end, there are two easy ways. 1) Let's say the entity you set-up is an LLC under your state's laws and your are being taxed as a partnership under the default classification rules of the Internal Revenue Code. Based on your prior statements, I believe it's correct to assume that if you did form an LLC, you did so in late 2010 or the start of 2011. If that's the case, then the entity can still file a late election to be treated as an S-corporation effective as of 1/1/2011. If you were to go that route, you can be an employee (W-2 wage earner) of your business. Since you would be treated as an S-corporation from the start of the year, all or a part of the monies paid to you to date could be treated as advances of wages and a catch-up payroll entry could be made to reflect such. There may also be some tax advantages to being treated as an S-corporation that are beyond the scope of this forum.

Now, there may be valid business, tax and other reasons that you do not want your entity to be treated as an S-corporation for tax purposes. If that's the case, you could transfer your 80% interest in the partnership to a newly-formed entity that is 100% wholly owned by you. Your current entity will still be treated as a partnership for tax purposes, but your 80% share will be owned by a new entity that elects S-corporation status. You probably guessed it, the your 80% of the partnership profits are now paid to your 100% owned entity and then you personally are paid reasonable and sufficient W-2 wages from your 100% owned S-corporation. Have a payroll service outfit like ADP or PayChex generate paychecks and paystubs for you that reflect your salary, year-to-date pay, etc.

In either of the scenarios utilizing an S-corporation you can also supplement your pay-stubs with a letter from your "employer". You are an employee (President).

I could expand quite a bit on the above, but on short on time at the moment. I guess in a nutshell my opinion is that you make sufficient income and have a history of making sufficient income and won't have a problem in satisfying the CO. The facts are the facts---you make the necessary income and then some---I don't believe the law was designed to recognize that and I believe the law provides the CO some latitude in considering documentary evidence in making their decision. If I'm wrong about this, I'm all ears....

I'll check back in tonight or tomorrow to see what you think and/or see if there are any differing opinions.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow does one determine the income shortfall
Before providing some feedback in re to reporting/portraying your current income to USCIS, can you clarify how your business is taxed under the Internal Revenue Code? You state that you are self-employed, but then use the term "distributions" instead of "draws", so it would be helpful to clarify whether you will be reporting your business activity for 2011 on Sch. C (Sole Proprietor) or otherwise? I can probably provide you with some solid insight, but it's first best to get a clarification of how your business is treated for tax purposes since distributions is the term typically used to describe payments from profits made to S-corp. shareholders.

Oh, and at the end of the day, based on a couple of references you make in your original post, you may (most likely) just have sufficient liquid assets and/or net worth to fall back on anyway. Although my hunch is that you won't have any trouble showing current income well above the required amount.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinancial Info
Quick question or two....


As I understand, you need to be making above the official poverty line in order to be declared financially sound enough to qualify for the K-1. Those who are under or are close to that figure need to have a relative or friend sign a form saying they will help. My question, what figure is used to determine your status... wages before or after taxes ? I am above by a little before taxes and under after taxes.

Also, what about credit history ? I ran a business that simply killed my credit when the economy crashed... will that hurt me ?

Thank you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAge difference & divorce

Hello everyone.
I got a double issue and was hoping to get some information so I can sleep eaiser. Thank you in advance for any information.

1. Age Difference: I am 25 & my fiancee (who is female/US citizen) is 33. Should I be worried about this? Anyone think I will encounter problems during K1 process?

2. We are not going to file for the K1 Visa for at least another 6 months, but my fiancee has been divorced for only three months at present. Will this be problematic?

Thanks again.
RockyTails.



I personally don't think that is a big age difference. As for the divorce, many people live separately for months/years before they actually divorce so I agree that that shouldn't be a problem easier. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs an immigration lawyer a good idea?

Should we do it ourselves or hire a lawyer?

My fiancee and are are just beginning the "visa journey" and are trying to decide if we should hire an attorney to assist with the K1 visa process.

What are other people's experiences? The K1 is already so expensive. We'd like to keep down the cost. But, we also want to make sure that we are approved.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

i know i was mean my future failing i know the k1 is already dead but did you agree with me this the good case scenario as i see or im wrong ?



you mean is this good even it will keep us a part for more time , did you agree with me its better than if they send noid or noir and i cant respond or give them what they want ???



Being apart more time is NEVER a good thing! No, what I meant is that they plain out said it. The 129f has expired and now because you are married, you and your wife can go ahead and file for the CR1 visa. WHICH imho is way more faster than a K1 visa is. Just make sure you have a whole bunch of evidence with your wife to show it is a genuine marriage.
Good luck man!!:thumbs:

we got an email say the same also i know our k1 petition is dead now but the quiz is we are married now so did you think this will hurt our case if we file cr1 ??
did it will be a red flag i mean ?
also i think its good thing they close it without denied or noir or noid i think even if this sad to us but as much i understand that mean they dont consider us as a fraud or nothing , or this still mean they but a fruad marker in our case even if they let expire ??
plus some people tell me we had to respond to them to make them dont cosider us as fruad so how we will answer them back ???
need an answer please friends
thanks alot frinds



This is exactly what you were waiting for. Now you are free and clear to file for a CR1 visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe Fear

I'm sorry, can you explain a little further why you think there is urgency to them cancelling or rescheduling their tickets? Does some window close for when the fees are lower? If they cancel 6 months before is it free or something? Most airlines that I've looked at have a 24 (or perhaps 48?) hour window where you can cancel free of charge. If that's the case, then they should perhaps do that. Otherwise, I can't see how cancelling or rescheduling in December is any different to their pocketbooks than cancelling in March or April, or even May. And...don't let your other friends and family schedule plane tickets. We were very clear in our communications about the uncertainty of the timing to our family members, and they all waited until our say-so to buy their airline tickets.

I stand by what I said earlier: Cancel now and loose your money for SURE, or cancel later and MAYBE loose your money.


Your timeline looks pretty close to ours except your wedding was last year. I'm thinking our NAO1 will be in early January. I've been looking for folks with timelines like ours in the past. I agree with you. Try to stick it out...I think I would (or will have to) as we move through our K-1 year...
DiZZyLoXFemaleEngland2010-12-22 09:32:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe Fear

I was in a similar position when I move to the US. We provisionally booked a wedding date, based on the current processing times, so that we could have a semi-normal planning experience with family and friends, but told the venue our situation and asked them for a definite cancellation date. They told us we could cancel up to 30 days before the wedding date.

Then we actually used this cancellation deadline date in our application for an interview at the Embassy in London (forgive me, I have forgotten the details of the process - blanked it out like a bad memory!). The Embassy seemed to take this into account and scheduled my interview exactly 30 days before the proposed wedding so that I would have a decision in time to cancel or continue. So as soon as my visa was approved at the interview in London, I emailed the venue in America to confirm that their would be a wedding. It worked out OK for us, I had only 3 weeks after visa receipt and arrival to prepare for the wedding, but we kept our date.

Having said all that, it took 10 months from start to finish to get my K1 visa, so we built in what we thought was a tonne of time, and ended up cutting it really fine...

What a nightmare, I do sympathise.


That's really good to know that you made it in the nick of time. I'm definitely nervous about our date, but trying to keep nerves low by knowing everyone knows our situation and movements can happen. Happy you guys made it. Gives me a little hope :)
DiZZyLoXFemaleEngland2010-12-21 15:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe Fear
Our wedding date is 10 months out from sending the I-129F. We know how close this will be cutting for us, so we have made a point to stick to vendors that are close to the family and know our situation in the event we will have to move our date. For me, the biggest worry are my fiance's family and friends that want to travel here for the wedding. What a bummer for them if we have to change it. Just keep things very honest with your vendors, friends and family. All will work out in the end. Have clauses added to the contracts if you can and arrange for back up vendors that can and will be flexible for you. Best of luck! Rooting for you!! xo.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting

That's great that you can be together for the holidays! I last visited the US for an extended trip (2 months) in September, having already stayed for almost three months earlier in the year...let's just say they weren't too happy. I was pulled into secondary passport control, had my luggage searched, and was questioned pretty intensively. We actually just filed the paperwork on that trip, so that wasn't an issue then, but thankfully I took with me a lot of paperwork proving my ties to the UK. It was a nervewracking experience, and I was told that I was "abusing the system" by spending so much time there. Unfortunately, this means I probably can't visit again until this process is over. :( Enjoy your time together and hopefully you'll have the visa soon!



My fiance had the same ordeal happen to him. He travels all over the world for his job and had been in the states a couple days prior for work before he entered again to be here for 3 months with me. Because the trips were so close together he had to show his return ticket, pictures and emails of our proving our relationship and proof that he was there for work on his first trip. It's creepy!!! But, luckily, he was allowed in and will be here for Christmas and New Year :). The key is to stay honest and have lots and lots of proof. Good for you!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Questions
1. I (the USC) checked birth certificate and left the rest blank.

2. I have no idea. I would err on the side of not confusing them at all if i were you, though. That's the main reason I'm not moving this year so I don't have to do an address change.

3. I retyped the entire section of anything that wouldn't fit in the blanks. Even if it was only the city that wouldn't fit.

4. I sent all pages. (I'm a little OCD)

5. I used a sticky note and was careful not to mark any of the "official" documents. I did, however, highlight on emails, chat logs, etc.

Hope that helps a little :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Initial Filing Checklist
I'm not really sure. But, what I did was included his ESTA# and application form, his flight itinerary with receipt that he made payment for it, his full passport, highlighting the date his passport stamp in the U.S. expired (Feb 10th) and a letter dated and signed by him stating when he entered the U.S. and when he was leaving with references to the pages in his passport that showed it was so. (he's from England on the Visa Waiver Program).

I haven't been approved or even seen NOA1 yet, but I imagine that might be all he needs. He doesn't have I-94 number as on VWP you wouldn't have that. So we just added as much information as we had at the time of filing.

If we do end up getting an RFE, we have a letter from his employer stating he is due to return to fulltime work on such n such date upon his arrival back in the UK on February 8th.

I probably should have included it, but I will if they ask for it. *shrugs*

London will not ask for nor want to look at ANY proof of your relationship at the interview. Save yourself some time and don't put a scrapbook together. London also doesn't need the US citizen there at the interview. London is a cake walk. I'm serious. (Well unless the UK person was not born in the UK. Then they tend to not issue the visa immediately and do some extra security checks which could take 4-8 weeks but some have been faster.)


Thanks for playing along! This is exactly what I wanted to see :) We each did letters of intent, i forgot to add that. Good to know London is pretty smooth. I'm *extremely* scrapbooky!

Paper clips and a binder clip on the whole thing. whatever you do, when it arrives it will be disassembled, your sleeves and tabs will be tossed and the documents will be placed in one of their folders in their order.

Make sure everything gets in the envelope and is protected for mailing purposes, other than that, it is wasted effort.

I noticed that there is a huge influx of petitions (at least on here) in the june / july months, and it slows down significantly through the winter. Hundreds of petitions in June / July, and only 30 - 40 for November / December. I think it is a combination of it being the holidays, a huge influx of petitions, and the influx of TPS petitions.

I think we will actually see it decrease as everyone comes back to work and things begin to thin out. I doubt very seriously they want to stay that busy throughout the year. Only time will tell :)

They said the most important thing to them is trying to hit national goals because if they don't they are answering to much higher powers to be and nobody wants that ######.

1. Green Sheet with Check attached to top of it
2. Copy of rejection notice
3. Rest of packet


I don't know if that's right or wrong, but I'd probably keep all the official stuff for myself / my records and then follow their directions to put that on top so it gets the attention it needs.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresplease help me...lawyer is confusing me
Heya! Welcome to VJ :)

I was a little over the top with what I sent with my I-129F but others are right. Your lawyer is definitely wrong. You will not need your financial info until after your petition is approved.

Here is a link to a topic I made when I was asking myself the same questions as you...what do I include, and in what order??

Like I said, you dont have to send everything I did...but others' opinions on what they included are there too and might help.

Good luck!

Push is right. No problem. As long as you're being paid in foreign currency into a foreign account.


:) Many thanks
