Frrreaking out about police warning

After further investigation, thinking ahhhhh he is the beneficiary.

The DS-156 which is the one your speaking of and not the I-129F says...

Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action? Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled substance(drug), or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?

I would get any paperwork you can JUST IN CASE they ask for it and answer the question as yes you have been arrested. It's better to have all your information ready instead of being surprised and caught off guard at the interview.

Good Luck

Frrreaking out about police warning

QUOTE (Korgan @ Aug 17 2009, 07:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey guys. I'm 28 years old, and I'm a British citizen in the midst of getting my K1 visa so I can marry my awesome fiancee (appledrop on the forums). I've never had any dealings with the police in my life.....right up to 2 weeks ago where something absolutely ridiculous happened and I got a warning for assault.

Now, I am expecting my interview at the embassy very soon and I'm totally stressed about this. I know it's only a warning but can someone reassure me that this isn't going to affect things?

The ridiculous thing is, there's a question on one of the forms that asks if I've ever been arrested for anything even if it was pardoned. It's in the same section that asks at the same time have you ever trafficked drugs or been a pimp or a #######.
Seriously. So from now on, do I have to tick "YES, I have been arrested and/or have trafficked drugs and/or am a pimp and/or #######" ??

They shoud go ahead and ask, "Do you like cake and/or drink the blood of innocent children?"

Any advice will be appreciated, of course.

Thanks.

From the I-129F instructions:

If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction.
It doesn't say if you were ever arrested, lied about by an ex just to get you in trouble, had someone accuse you or you like cake and/or drink the blood of innocent children...etc....it says CONVICTED

Now as was pointed out earlier you will need information at the AOS and GC stage because the requirements are a little different.

If you have ever been arrested or detained by any law enforcement officer for any reason and no charges were filed, submit:
An original official statement by the arresting agency or applicable court order confirming that no charges were filed.

Ok next question Hepetitis is a series vaccination meaning you have to have one and then a month or so later you have to have a second I if I remember right a third a month after that. Can one enter without all the series or will she have to wait?

WE are filing for a CR-1

My guess is that it has to be started and then they want the final after arrival, with the records delivered to the local office.

Hardship for meeting within 2 years

Benny was able to come for the holidays. He loved my cooking (well, never complained about anything I made). While I worked he cleaned my apartment. When I came home all I had to do was cook dinner and do laundry - he did all the rest!

Hardship for meeting within 2 years

What I can't figure out is why it has to be in person. Nobody seems to be able to explain this part to me. With today's technogolgy why is USCIS so backwards?

Benny and I met online in March, started dating in May, and conversed via video chat daily beginning in July. No subject wasn't discussed. We did everything but kitchen and bathroom stuff in each other's presence. It's like the other person's there the whole time. Why is physical presence such a factor in granting a visa?

Post I-129 acceptance timing- advice???

QUOTE (Lena & Sasha @ Feb 16 2009, 04:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hi everyone! My name is Elena (a U.S. citizen) and my fiance is Alexander (a Ukrainian citizen). Just yesterday we got our I-129 approved! (Yay!) It actually happened much faster than we thought it would so we've been a bit caught off guard. Currently, I'm in Ukraine visiting him. I've been here since December and was planning to leave (I have a ticket home) on March 4th. Now, however, I'm not sure what to do because I really want to be with him for his interview but only have 3 months (and a little more) left on my tourist visa after March 4th. (I'm writing freelance so I have the freedom to stay as long as I want otherwise).

Either I can change the date of my ticket home until the end of May and hope that everything is set by then, or go back to America in March and then come back here in April (is that too soon to have an interview set up?)... but if I do that then when do I set my return ticket for? I sort of want to avoid buying one-way tickets because, well, it's very expensive. BUT, I'm worried that I will miss the interview somehow... What should I do? Should I just stay and hope everything is wrapped up by the end of May? (That gives us almost 4 months since the I-129 was approved on Feb. 10th) Or should I come back in April and spend three months... giving us 5 or 6 months for the interview to happen.

Also, where do we find out where he can get his medical exam? From what I read here it has to be pretty specific. Would anyone recommend going to the American embassy and bothering them by asking questions like this?

Thank you guys so much, I am so happy I found this site!!!

Elena

It really depends on the timeline for the consulate (Kiev?). We were approved in May but didn't have the interview until August (notice in July). So you'll want to return home and come back later.

Expedited K1 Visa

QUOTE (Ken Noland @ Feb 23 2009, 03:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks!

Yes, it is on a case-by-case basis that they review for expediting the application. I had a friend who was able to get me the number of the person I needed to call to send them the necessary paperwork.

So the vaccinations don't have to be COMPLETED by the doctors appointment, but have to be done before her visa arrives? AFAIK that means that she has to have the vaccinations before she leaves Germany? That could be a problem if the processing is done in the next few days/weeks.

Thanks again!

The vaccinations must be completed before Frankfurt signs off on the visa. So, no vaccinations, no visa. Benny had his done something like the week after his medical.

Expedited K1 Visa

QUOTE (Ken Noland @ Feb 23 2009, 03:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey everyone,

Isa and I filed our paperwork for the K1 visa and it was accepted into the California Service Center(CSC) January 4th 2009. Due to reasons I would not like to get into on public forums, but are health related and extremely unfortunate, our application has been put in the expedited queue at the CSC.

I have a few questions though that you guys might be able to answer.

First of all, has anyone ever heard of an expedited K1 visa? I did a quick search and I wasn't able to find any similar cases. I asked and they said that they will process it as soon as possible, but that doesn't give me any kind of timeline. Any ideas on when things will happen in an expedited case?

Also, I'm worried that because she doesn't have all the necessary vaccinations yet, she may be declined at the medical screening. Is there any way you guys know of to get a waiver on some of the vaccinations?

Isa and I are not doing this through any law firm, we are doing this on our own and when the situation turned from bad to worse we contacted a friend who was able to point us in the right direction to get our case pushed through as fast as possible. I apologize to all those who have been waiting months and years even, but the set of circumstances behind this expedite are extremely unfortunate for both Isa and I(I wanted to make that clear so people didn't turn this thread into a series of "you lucky..." and "how did you..." type of responses).

Thanks!

I haven't seen any way to expedite processing; I think they'd only take it on a case by case basis anyway. The vaccinations don't have to be done by the medical appointment but must be done before they'll send you the visa.

General ??'s Before filing K1 visa

Since you are self employed, I think your biggest task is getting all of the necessary financial records (again, this is for the interview... after NOA2). If you are border line or on the edge of the income requirement to support her, be sure you provide everything under the sun to prove your income is what it is and that it is stable. It would be very beneficial if you can show that your income has actually grew over the years. You'll need 3 years of, I think, "certified tax returns." The IRS can provide these. Many people have been delayed, because of inadequate financial records so if you are border line qualified, get ready to prepare the best financial package possible.

Actually this is one of my concerns my business has losses from first years and they are allowed to be written off slowly over time and only last few years has shown profits so the income is over the thresholds but not by a lot. I just dont understand how they go off AGI from someone who has business when they know there are previous years losses that affect this figure. Luckily I have a CPA do all my taxes and should be able to provide all the required documents.

One question though doesn't the rule go I need only provide 1 year tax returns for them to use...I know they used to take 3 from what I hear but now only require 1? Only reason I ask is this year and last year over threshold but 3 year back I still had quite a bit of loss to claim.

Be careful with the G325A, it has 4 pages all of which appear to be the same, however they are only slightly different. When your finacee sends a blank G325A to you, she has to sign one G325A four times (sign each page). If you ask her to send three blank G325As, she has to sign 12 times.

Funny you should bring this up this is exactly what happened to me I get home from the Philippines look at documents and notice at bottom of our 325A it says LOOK AT INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 5 and I think "PAGE 5" then investigate and find the fact that it is a 4 page duplication of one paper coded for where it may end up ie...consulate...identification...records br...and C....

I have the Assembling the I-129F Package and I will have everything once I get the Fedex from Elena. but have just few questions:

1. We have done most talking on phone thru the use of phone cards as she can call me for 2.5¢ a minute and I can get here in states for 14¢ per minute...should I get a phone international plan even though it cost 20¢ per minute and use it to document relationship and continue using cards also or should we make all calls on home phone so there are a ton of them on phone bill and just suck up the higher costs.?

2. When sending in packet do I send the actual certified copies or copies of the actual certified copies.?
3. How important are letters, we send lots greeting cards but we speak each day so only a few letters, which we will begin writing more as I can see we need them but up to now were they important.
4. Chat logs, I have months and months worth should I just narrow down to a few, especially ones that talk of marriage as each day gets to be 20+ pages, and how many would be a good amount to include.
5. When I read the Assembling the I-129F Package it says "Original statements (from both the US Citizen and foreign fiance) certifying an intent to marry within 90 days of entering the US on a valid K-1." Does the word certifying here above mean "we are certifying, as in saying our intent" or does it mean these have to be CERTIFIED COPIES?
6. When I read :Assembling the I-129F Package: Checklist " it says "Declaration of how you met in person in the last two years. This should be a single TYPED page attachment regarding question 18 of the I-129F." but when I read VisaJourney.com > K-1 Fiance Visa Tips K-1 Fiance Visa: Tips on Forms and Documents it says "
Make sure that your "original statement of having met in person" (you and your fiance should write one) is signed by hand in ink by each person and not just TYPED" both on this site so which do I believe is best? And, do I need one from BOTH of us, at this point I only have the one from me?

5) certified by what or by whom? original statements. period.

I was asking about the wording it say "certifying" and I am just looking for clarification, as the question asks.

6) "declaration of how you met" or Q18 and "statement of intent to marry" are two different things though many comingle... Q18 needs only to be written by one of the parties

I have no problem distinguishing between the two items needed my question as it states is because one says to TYPE IT one says TO HANDWRITE IT AND NOT TYPE but I have come to conclusion that it in that context is speaking of the actual signature and not the whole document, but thank you for your responses.

General ??'s Before filing K1 visa

Hello, I am new to these forums but have been reading them for a or a month or so while planning to file a K1 visa for my fiance who lives in the Philippines.
Elena and I met in a very different way than most I have seen on these boards, I play Multiplayer Online Games and met her cousin while playing one of these games in 2007, her cousin runs and internet cafe that her family owns and we became close friends, nothing more than friends but we talked online ingame and on phone for many months. Eventually her cousin who helped around the cafe on occasion expressed an interest in talking with me also, so we started chatting in late Feb early March '08. We talked everyday, I sent her some money to buy a webcam so we could actually see each other in April and it wasnt long until we became more and more interested in one another and by July I realized I was starting to become interested in more than just a friendship, so I told her and likewise she felt the same, over the course of the next few months I decided to go and meet her and her family in the Phils.
Towards the end of September I commited to this and we decided we wanted to meet and if we really felt as we thought we did in person we would like to be together for the rest of our lives, as we had already began talking about our feelings for one another and felt we wanted to be married. Well on October 8th I purchased the tickets for the trip in December. The next 67 days seemed like an eternity.
On December 15th I was off to Cebu, and I spent 10 days there with her, and we visited her family in Leyte where she is originally from and I had the best time of my life and believe I actually found the proverbial "girl of my dreams", we knew before we met in person that love was the feeling we had but it was confirmed during the time we spent together, she is the sweetest and most caring woman I have ever met. Her family and I got along very well as we only spent a few days at Christmas there with them I wish I could have stayed much much longer.
I really wish that the circumstances had allowed us to be married in the Philippines but I have a business and the only time I could get away was during the holidays because my employees were out of school and could run the business in my absence, so we could not get the marriage license and other documents because of the vacation schedule of the offices in Cebu and Manilla, so we decided to go the K1 route instead. I like her family would have preffered to be married there in the Philippines as I know it would have been very special for her to be married with her family present....if only I was independently wealthy, but alas this isnt the case, I have a small pizza shop in the states and being away is very difficult because I run it myself. Anyway to make a longer story short, I ask her parents permission on the night of Dec 23rd and when her father said yes, I ask her to marry me right then and there in front of her whole family, cousins, aunts, uncles.
Sadly we only had a few more days together because the day after Christmas at 9pm I made the saddest journey I could ever imagine, I had to turn and walk away from someone I never wanted to be without again.

And believe me its hard for a man to admit it when he cries like a baby but.....well you know.
Anyway, we really felt that this would be what we wanted I had already done my research and read as much as possible about the k1 process before my trip and was already struggling with the "OMG does this mean that" " or does it mean this" etc...so many different things on the web, I was so happy when I found this site, which only happened a week or so before I left on the trip.
So now here I sit, most papers done except for 1 document which I fedexed to Elena on Saturday and she return to me today, so I should get by Wednesday morning, then I will have everything and it will be time for me to send it in, I am looking for any comment or suggestions before I send it because I want to make this as painless as possible, and already knowing it may be 7-8 months or more I would like all papers to be in order before I send. I have just a few questions to clarify things for my own well being and assurances that I have done all I can to include everything that may be needed.

And this last question is the most important I think...I was divorced from my previous wife of 13.5 years in 2002 February and it was not a good divorce I had just started business few years before and worked 7 days a week and me being away from home so much she grew tired and found another source of excitement, anyway I also co-signed a loan for my step daughter and she had quit paying on the loan, changed addresses for mail and I did not find out til car in repo and they called my home to tell me they wanted my car back, I told them I just paid it off and they told me which MY CAR they were talking about and it was my step daughters car I cosigned on, so I basically had to steal my own car back which I did but in process during a communication on telephone I uttered these stupid words "If you guys don't give the car back I will HURT you just like YOU are hurting me". Well of course this was not a threat of harm to a person by way of physical means, if I was a physical person somewhere during our divorce proceeding I think it would have been brought up (BTW this happened 8 days after divorce was final). I was talking about hurting my ex-wives credit rating which was what they were doing to me by not paying on the car and having it go into repossession, this was my only train of thought, well the court did not see it that way. They said it could be CONSTRUED to be a physical threat and a Temporary Restraining Order was granted to my ex-wife. So, ok I had to deal with it and I did.
The question is this going to be a blockade to our K1 visa, will it cause problems. Does it fall under the category of Domestic Violence or anything pertaining to Section C Question 2. Is this something that I have to disclose or is this disclosure only pertain to someone who uses an International Marriage Broker. I don't think this is a misdemeanor or a felony at all, but I just don't know so I am asking here. I have copies of the case timeline from the court and it is certified if I need it but they told me they don't even keep records of these after a year of so because they are granted if someone just says you say something. I know what people think when they hear this but I assure you I never intended or would hurt my family and my words were taken out of context, I sincerely believe that this was done to hurt me in only way left by my wife after the divorce courts gave me the house, my business and 2 of my 3 step-children decided to stay living with me after my ex wife and I divorced. I can understand why she was hurt but she brought it all on herself.

So I am sorry to bore you with my life story just to ask a few questions but this is a very important step in my life and I want to do everything possible (the first time) to make this a smooth process for my fiance and myself.

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide

Hope this Helps

And so anyone who want to see where he is probably referring look below:

http://www.visajourn...amp;page=k1tips

where it plainly says:

K-1 Fiance Visa: Tips on Forms and Documents

The following items may make your life easier and help you get a little sleep at night :-) :

Make sure that your "original statement of having met in person" --------->>>>(you and your fiance should write one)<<<<---------- is signed by hand in ink by each person and not just typed. You should ask your fiance to write this when you are first starting work on the I-129F since it will likely take them a few days to do this and and even longer for them to mail to you (international mail can be slow if sent at the standard speed).

So the only confusion is BECAUSE IT DOES conflict with other info on site....

Me again.. I just looked at my notes. I guess what the immigration lawyer was saying is this...

Me enter the US as a visitor, get married (therefore skipping the K-1 visa step, and that would save $455!!) and then moving forward with filing the I-129F(?)

Would this really work??? Wouldn't I run a greater risk of being denied since technically, I was in the States only as a visitor and without proper approval??

Not recommended as this is immigration fraud...entering the U.S as a visitor with the foreknowledge you plan to marry and circumventing the immigration process

You should also not trust the lawyer who gave you the advice to do this.

Good Luck

Visa/Annulment Rip Off

QUOTE (rippedoff @ Jan 20 2009, 07:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm adding this thread to advise anyone that is or has used an attorney to obtain a visa and/or annulment and has been defrauded, lied to, or represented in anything but a professional manner there is a remedy in law that will provide justice and very likely will enable you to obtain a refund of funds. It's a very simple process and takes little time to accomplish. You simply contact the Bar Association of the state the attorney is licensed in, request a formal complaint (most cases can be done right over the internet), fill in the blanks and return to the Bar Association. That simple. Don't take abuse laying down!

If anyone has be misrepresented or taken advantage of by RHC Visa Services the following information will provide you the pathway to a remedy:

Click the above link, when it opens up just click on this link: Request for Investigation Form

That's all there is to it. Just fill out the form and fax to 312-565-2320 Attention: Complaint

That's it. If you need assistance you can call 312-540-5297, someone at that number will help.

Yah, lawyers not really needed if u just follow Guides and your case not too difficult. MY ADVICE give it a try alone and see if You even need a lawyers assistance.

If she obtains either a B2 or J1 visa and enters the USA, you certainly may marry. Whether she'll need to leave and complete a spouse visa process would depend on the exact circumstances and intent. If she enters with the primary purpose of the internship with Intervarsity, it may be possible to stay and adjust status. See a qualified immigration attorney for advice on that matter after she's here and you are married.

Dan,

Certainly an intention to marry and an intention to immigrate have been expressed by the potential USC spouse but the pursuit of the J1 or B2 visa seems to be with the intent of entry for an internship, not specifically entry to immigrate. We don't know the status of the foreign fiancee's intentions at this point. We can only speculate.

The MAIN REASON she is coming over is to do an internship with InterVarsity (she already has been in talks with InterVarsity about starting the internship in February or March), that's something that is important to the both of us. We would however like to get married if possible but on a B1/B2 visa isn't that illegal as it would be visa fraud and we don't want to do anything that would be illegal. So I don't seem to understand it when you say if she obtains either a B2 or J1 visa and enters the U.S.A., that we can certainly marry. How would we go about doing so without committing visa fraud, it seems to me that any way you slice it, we would be doing so?

Because your intent is to come to do the internship, not go around the laws to marry. BUT it is UP TO YOU to prove it if you decide to go that route.
Many people get married after they come using those visa types, IT IS THE ones who choose those types SO THEY CAN MARRY that are commiting visa fraud.

Hope this helps
