K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1curiousity	Double post removed. Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 20 February 2011 - 08:08 PM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 20:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1curiousity	Im just wondering and if anyone could pls advice. My husband and i got married in philippines last year. Are we still considered fiance/e in the eye of US law even if we got married in PI already? Are we eligible for the k1 visa or should have filed spouse visa instead? Thanx for the help and answers in advance =) CR-1 is the only option you've got. K-1 is a non-spousal visa. K-3 may be an option, however. This is not an option as it is obsolete and administratively closed.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 20:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	INTERVIEW (K1 &K2)	Doesn't sound like a "my bad" but more a "my didn't know". When there are K-2 children involved, there is no petition for them. When the USC submits a K-1 petition, they must list all the beneficiary's children, even if they're 40 and married with their own kids. It's then up to the beneficiary to submit a visa application (once their petition is approved) for the K-2 that's either for issue alongside the K-1 or to follow within 1 year of the K-1 issuance. Each Embassy has a different set of protocol. Unless it's changed in the past 8 months, London didn't require my then 10 year old to attend interview, I just submitted forms and her passport on her behalf. I think the more important question in terms of what to do is how/ when were you planning on your 6 year olds on joining you? If you wanted them to travel with you from Dubai, then you may as well get them to do the medical and visa interview (if necessary for them to attend) with you in Dubai. If you were planning on getting the visas and then travelling back to Manila to then fly to the US from Manila, then why not delay the departure from Manila and do their K-2s as 'to follow'. This would mean you get your K-1 in Dubai, travel to Manila to "supervise" the kids through their K-2 medicals and interviews, therefore processing their visas as though you were already in the US? In any case, I would check with Dubai first to see what they suggest. Why are you being antagonistic? I do know. I didn't read the OP's post thoroughly that's why it was "my bad". It's like your posts, most are too lengthy, I don't have time to read it all. Don't you have anything better to do than try to pick a fight?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	INTERVIEW (K1 &K2)	But she didn't. She said "apply for him in Manila". Filing a petition is not the same as applying for a visa. They are separate actions that occur months apart in different countries with different US Government agencies. Don't interchange the terms. I'm not trying to interchange the terms. I guess I should not have used the term "petition" until it's said and done by the OP. My bad!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 21:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	INTERVIEW (K1 &K2)	There is no separate petition for children in a K1/K2 case. One petition with the children listed, then separate visa applications, medical exams and visa application fees. Fees are paid in advance of the interview IN the country where the interview will take place. Certainly, the OP has the option of having all the medicals and interviews together in Manila. On the original petition, which consulate was shown as the one where you would apply for a visa? -* Yes, I know that. That's why I was confused when OP mentioned about filing a petition for him in Manila, which I thought her kid.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 19:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	INTERVIEW (K1 &K2)	Now I understand a bit more. Maybe I will apply for him, in Manila, before I go to USA. 1) Should I pay his visa when I paid for mine in Dubai? 2) Should I ask the consulate before or while I am interviewing? Thanks guys! Your thread says interview for K1 & K2. Meaning that you already filed the petition for your kids. You also stated above that you now understand a bit more and that you will may be applying for him in Manila. I'm a little bit lost. If your kids are in the Philippines (as you mentioned above), they will then have their interview at the US Embassy in Manila and that the visa payment must be done at one of the BPI branch near you. Not during the interview but BEFORE! Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 20 February 2011 - 02:50 PM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 14:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i129f approved in less than 1 month???	Don't expect these quick approvals to be the norm at all. CSC is still taking five months to approve petitions. Hope and expect are two different things with two different meanings. The poster above didn't say he expect for a quick approval...he said hope. And besides, what's wrong with someone hoping for a speedy approval? Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 20 February 2011 - 03:10 PM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 15:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i129f approved in less than 1 month???	My NOA1 was Feb 15 I hope that means we will be first part of March. CSC seems to be just pushing them out right now? Who knows you will be one of the lucky ones.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-20 14:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i129f approved in less than 1 month???	Does the NOA2 get sent automatically to the NVC (Manila?) I'm way behind the research curve. I thought I'd have 5 months to prepare for the next step. You are indeed lucky! Congratz!!! We wanted ours to be aprroved in 15 days but unfortunately our wish weren't granted coz we were approved in 6.5 months. LOL!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-18 08:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I think I'm pregnant...	I think I'm pregnant and we are about to send our k1 package. Would this be an advantage or disadvantage? hope to hear some insight, thanks in advance. It's may be early, but, congratulations on your pregnancy! I just found out that my fiancée is about 3 weeks pregnant with our first child. I've been following this thread and am about to file our own I-129F. What would I put in the section for children; currently expecting our first child? Congratz to you and your fiancee as well!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Never "touched"	5 months have already passed in my case......... no NOA2 as yet......... wht should i do? No touch...no NOA2? I will start bugging them now...tha's what I would do.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-23 13:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Never "touched"	I have been waiting for 4 month and 2 week for my NOA2 and i never been "touched". This is good or bad? Please someone help me in this thanks Funny! Coz we never got this famous "touch/ed" so to speak until our case was approved. After I got here, we logged onto the USCIS website and guess what? Our case status was still "pending". I dunno know now, though. I guess, what I am traying to say is...just relax and don't worry about it.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-02-23 13:14:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	FINALLY OUR NOA2 IS HERE!	Congratulations!!!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-04-09 11:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	pictures	I mean what comes straight to my mind is that if you met so many times why do you have no pics together, that seems kind of strange. So I imagine the same thought would come up in the adjucators mind.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-05-30 22:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	pictures	Not 1 pic together in 8 visits? They apparently hate pictures? You've been with her 8 times and not even a single photo of you together??That's kinda weird. They were busy playing hide and seek, that's why no photos.... Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 30 May 2011 - 10:14 PM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-05-30 22:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	pictures	1. i have seen her more than 8 times since 2009 but we do not have pictures together but we do have pics of each of us in same room so u see every thing is same in back ground, but do have phone records, many plane stubs and copy of passport will that be enough as she is from the Philippines. More than 8 times and NO photos together? That's kinda bizarre...	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-05-30 22:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Approved!!!	NoA2 approved! On my birthday - best birthday present ever!!!!! Yay! Yay! Congrats and Happy Birthday!!!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-06-15 21:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Medical Examination	If St. Luke's will allow you to bring the result yourself, then, it won't be a problem. Otherwise, you have to have your medical done at least 4-7 days prior to your interview. Good Luck!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-07 14:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	Nevermind. Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 25 July 2011 - 09:38 AM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-25 09:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	I seen this one coming, no offense but why do you insist on finding a filipina and why so much younger than yourself? Maybe finding a Filipina more mature with commonalities would help? I understand why you dont want an American woman but theres plenty of foreigners in the U.S to choose from and you can probably save a fortune in not having the expense of flying half way around the world. IDK Just some suggestions, yes im with a Filipina but i didnt go looking for mine i was sent to work in the Caymans and met her that way. 35 years age difference? don't u think u have a problem too??? just noticed this is not the first time u posted a thread like this one... from ur previous K1 and i think several times for this 2nd K1... remember u did sent a withdrawal too to USCIS but still the petition got approved, right??? just wondering.... can't u make a final decision...? If you TWO are in the mood to pass judgement and give unsolicited relationship advice, here's a suggestion.... go TROLL the "Effects Forum".

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	Just wondering and if you don't mind me asking..what did both of your fiancees do that make you feel they were both after your money?? It might be helpful for others to know, and also I'm just really curious! Like others have said, stop looking and also how have you been finding these women? You must have missed the OP's post. He doesn't wanna talk about it and he isn't asking for relationship advice! To You and anyone else passing judgement on this relationship: You don't know anything about the circumstances and I don't feel obligated to explain. I just asked a simple question. Please keep your opinions to yourself if you have nothing constructive to say. Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 25 July 2011 - 09:28 AM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-25 09:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	just in case u missed it, he's just asking whether to withdraw the petition or let it expire. not for your unsolicited advice No, she did not miss the OP's question. She just thought that being "cocky" is cool.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 23:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	i really hope so i know someone who is a USC who filed 3 times a K1 petition for a different filipinas.... Yes. You do.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 21:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	well i cant give him advice regarding 3rd petition.. bcoz i didnt go with that.. but for sure its the same step too on what he did for his last 2nd K1... I'm sure you know somebody who filed 3X!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 21:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	yes it is... and he's been posting thread like this one even way before.. same question and same person... Well, I don't think the OP needs your (or anyone elses) self righteous condescending posts.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 21:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	well FYI, don't forget u had a K1 withdrawn before and now ur still asking the same question.. don't u get a good answer the 1st time u posted about withdrawals...???? and i can answer u back a very constructive answer if i know ur not been here for a long time and not posting thread like this one again!!!! FYI, someone living in a glass house shouldn't throw stones! His story should be very familiar to you!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 21:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Withdraw Petition or let it Expire	don't u think u have a problem too??? just noticed this is not the first time u posted a thread like this one... from ur previous K1 and i think several times for this 2nd K1... remember u did sent a withdrawal too to USCIS but still the petition got approved, right??? just wondering.... can't u make a final decision...? Well, some say "THIRD time the charm"! I'm sure you and your husband would agree. Maybe you could give the OP advice regarding a third petition.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-07-24 21:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	question	yeah, i heard about the "sterilized milk", i dont know if ir works or if it will do anything good but im gonna do it, wont hurt to try.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	MNL case number woohooo	Congratulations! You can now (if you haven't yet) start gathering all docs for the interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	typical questions asked to a fiance (female) in an interview	Hello All, For those who have been interviewed, can please advise the typical questions asked to a fiance applicated when going thru the interview at the embassy.. I would like prep up my fiance whenever her time comes in... The interview is the easiest part of the entire visa process but, you should always be ready and be prepared for an "unexpected" question(s). You'll be fine however if you are relax, confident and of course, answer the questions, truthfully. Best of Luck!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-08-12 14:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visited Philippines Only Once - Filing I-129f	We decided not to buy a ring in the Philippines because they just kidnapped a woman there that was married to an American. We just didn't want to advertise it. We did visit a dentist and I am dropping just short of a carrot on her teeth. Her teeth look great but she is a typical Filipina who can use some work. What do you mean by "typical" Filipina? Wait! I get it! You think...Because your fiancee requires major dental work and...must also be.. her family has a mouth like a Jack o' lantern...sooo... You assume all Filipina's could sit on the front porch (with a candle in their mouth) during Halloween (to save money on Pumpkins every year). You need to rethink your assmuption...and rethink your stereo-typing.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-08-12 09:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	i love you phrases cause denial of visa	ive read in some sites that if you put down i love you in your chat logs, skype or anywhere. the co may deny your visa because how can you be in love with someone you have not lived with ? Perhaps the CO prefer to see / read the "I hate you" phrasing? That's bizarre! Edited by ~happyndinlove~, 19 November 2011 - 12:04 PM.	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2011-11-19 12:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	divorced in US but marriage not annuled in Philippines	i just hope they will. As long as you "bow" to their "power tripping", they will. CFO, especially PRISM is well known to harass and power trip attendees. Bringing everything when you attend the seminar is always a great idea but, based on my (and others') experiences, it all depends on their "MOODs". Good Luck!	~happyndinlove~	Female	Philippines	2012-06-17 09:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is my relationship to new to apply for K1?	You aren't applying. She is petitioning for you. You are required to have met face to face. No correct amount of time for your relationship. You do have to prove a bona fide relationship. Meaning that you are not doing this simply for immigration to the US. Do some reading in the K1 forum and the UK forum to get a sense of what is typically sufficient to prove the relationship. Best of luck.	Crashed~N2~Me	Male	Philippines	2011-08-27 16:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Self Employment for I-134	No, you choose either LLC or S corp. An LLC may elect S Corp tax treatment by filing IRS Form 2553 (Form 2553 Election by a Small Business Corporation). OK, then he should, technically, be an employee, not self employed if he has an LLC, right? In that case he will have regular paychecks and witholding, etc. (or at least he should) Shareholder-employees will receive two tax documents from the S-Corporation at the end of the year: a W-2 wage statement (income as an employee) and a Schedule K-1 statement (income as an owner).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	what false information can do to you	as we all know,ive been on VJ through out my whole visa process and thanks to this website i like to think of myself as some kind of...well pro in simple and normal cases. to sum it up,i spent 4 sleepless nights looking for that information,so from an old member to the new ones, double check each and every piece of information you see on this website "Pro"? "4 sleepless nights"? Thanks! I think that should go without saying.
