K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPolyamory and K-1 visas

How is it immigration fraud?
The USC petitioneer needs to be able to marry, and she is able to marry... I agree red flags might be flying because of the cultural bias involved, but ultimately- unless this is the case of just wanting to obtain a green card for this guy and then never see him again- she loves this guy and she wishes to marry him....if both of them then choose to live with the third person how is that USCIS business....

The questions are:
- is it a bonafide relationship? (and yes, it can be despite the other guy)
- is the USC petitioner legally able to marry?
- is the beneficiary legally able to marry?

I mean, let's turn the situation around a bit: what if this girl was living with another woman and if their life encompased all the elements of a romantic relationship, BUT if they lived in a state that does not recognize the homosexual union as even possible.... and the girl wanted to petition her boyfriend to come and marry her, and they would live with the other girlfriend....
It's not up to the USCIS to investigate on how the couple chooses to live or who they choose to live with....
There are plenty of swingers in the US, if it happens that a swinger couple is one that is together through a marriage visa/ green card does that make them commiting immigration fraud.... does that change the fact that they love each other, wanted to marry each other, and were both legally able to marry each other......

That said, I would leave th US BF out of it as much as possible when it comes to the immigration process


Read the rules before you let your little fingers loose on the keyboard. I could interject my Catholic beliefs on this matter but then I'd be here all day...HOWEVER...the USCIS added moral character as a requirement for a reason. The reason the OP cant find archives on the subject is because its not allowed. Let her find a lawyer...unless that lawyer is willing to lose his or her license she's out of luck. If there were no standards then CIMT wouldnt exist. The difference here is that the OP continues her lifestyle. It IS up to the USCIS to investigate on how a couple chooses to live their lives..why else are we pouring every ounce of evidence into these petitions we send in? Google it...an immigration officer will ask whether the OP practices polygamy at the interview...should she leave the boyfriend out then? Oh...lie to an immigration officer? That goes against everything this board stands for.


OP isn't married to her American boyfriend, so she won't be practicing polygamy by marrying her foreign boyfriend, so the boyfriend can say no to these question without lying. What she is proposing is not illegal. CIMT concerns crimes. The OP's behavior, no matter how offensive, is not a crime.

Also, you can't be accidentally common law married. Part of the requirements for common law marriage in those states that allow it is a desire to be married and some sort of public declaration or conduct that indicates you are married. It's not just that you live together and have a lot of sex for a while, then, oops, you're married.

Polyamory is not the same as polygamy. Polygamy means being officially wedded to more than one person at the same time. There's a legal component to polygamy that isn't part of polyamory, and it sounds like OP isn't planning to breach that threshold.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThink it's all over when you're visa arrives???

I think that we get told a lot of misinformation by the goverment and it just adds to the confusion. The OP just told me that USCIS told him about not being legal to work after getting married and we are dealing with the social security office who keeps telling us something different each time we call. As of now they say immigration kept denying our social app so they said that they have to override the system and to wait 2 more weeks(it's been 6 weeks). What a mess!

rats, I lost my earlier reply to you on this.

The upshot is, it has been demonstrated time and again that one can not rely on information given to them by anyone at USCIS or their contractors. That is what discussion groups are for.

As for SSA, I can't tell what has happened with your application, but there are some common glitches:

-You've applied for your SS#, they've looked you up in SAVE and they can't verify your immigration status. They do now have a more expedited process for hurrying things up; you could search for posts from mdyoung under the nick "I Quit' for help. You should be calling your SSA office weekly if this is your issue--they should be checking SAVE for you daily if necessary.

-You got married and are trying to apply for your SSA account in a name other than the one USCIS knows you by. You must apply for/accept your SS card in the name that matches your CIS documents until you get a new CIS docuemnt with the new name (EAD or Green Card usually).

I had another one, but ...


I'm a little worried about the name bit. My fiance is in the immigration system as Firstname Middle Secondmiddle Lastname (I think the two middle names are stored as one string probably) and his two middle names didn't fit in the SSA computer system, so he's there as Firstname M Lastname.

The first incompetent person who entered his application (after another incompetent person turned us away and we had to print out a section of their own manual that says K1 can get SSN and etc etc.) entered it as Firstname Middle S Lastname (complete first middle name, initial for second), so the next day he went back, had that application voided, and applied with just one middle initial. Anyway, probably agonizing over nothing, but man, after the incompetence we got at SSA I'm not taking anything for granted anymore. And they say he's still pending approval from homeland security.

Well, okay. :) One thing to keep in mind is that the timeframe this person told you might be totally made up. It could last many months, or it could be over tomorrow. Don't lose hope! I hope you can make it for your spring wedding. :)

I liked the word drama-queenery :-)

Sorry guys but this is how i deal with situations .... i need to get everything out of my system.
This is devastating news and all you wonder is WHY ? I noticed some of the people who replied had their visa the same day as the interview.
Well, good for you! According to my legal book that I read 700 pages from I was not aware this even was an option!

It all has to do with a new law passed in congress late december or early January, the immigration specalist of Clara's Congressmen said.

I'm not ONLY dramaqueening ... I have made like 50 phone calls to people who may be able to help .. and have some plans ...... will it help? IDK

Alright buddy, suck it up. Your drama queenery is really not going to help things. It's a bummer your visa is held up. Plenty of model citizens, even virginal white people with strong European heritage (!) get their visas delayed for some reason. Just relax, have a sense of humor, and things will turn out alright (probably), even if you have to delay your wedding and re-book the DJ.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHardship for meeting within 2 years
There's one involving Iraq on the USCIS appeals page - it was denied. USCIS thinks they should have tried to meet in a neighboring country or something. When people can't get visas to visit the US and the US citizen can't get to the fiance's country, USCIS expects them to try meeting somewhere else.

I thought some muslims have gotten away with it (from India/Pakistan etc.) but do not know of any specific cases. However there are easy examples of people not being able to meet - consider that many areas are in the war zone (Iraq has been for several years) or are in war-like areas and the foreigners are not issued visitors visas by the US consulate. I assume they are not part of the VJ community and therefore no posts have appeared here relating their cases. It will make for interesting reading if they post.

Sometimes they neglect to edit out personal information from the text of the decision! It's so sloppy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHardship for meeting within 2 years
I've read through most of the appeal decisions on the USCIS website, and none of them that I've seen have found sufficient hardship to waive the meeting requirement. When people say they don't have enough money or can't get the time off work, USCIS says this is not "extreme" hardship because most everyone who has a fiance abroad has to deal with these issues. When people claimed they couldn't meet because of cultural precedent (Muslim in all cases) this too was denied; the USCIS apparently has an advisor on these matters that says in strict Islamic tradition the boy and girl are not supposed to date or meet each other but can SEE each other in the presence of their parents. All of the medical reasons I saw were denied too, but maybe some people got through without having to file appeal.

The law states on Form I-129F, Petition for Alien fiancee , that you have must meet 2 years prior to petitioning the usa government uscis . Using the Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancee . You should not worry , as long as your fiancee sends proff of you too metting in person along with the form at the time you both have applied . You will be fine , No where in the law does it state how long his stay needs to be .

Hello, guys! Just wanna asks again. I am just anxious about proof of meeting in person within 2 years. We started our communication last quarter of 2007 and finally he visited me and proposed to me last May 2008. His visit lasted only for 1 week since he got only 10 days of leave from his work less the travel time. Would it matter if he only visited me once? He filed our I-129F last July,2008. My fiances` plan is to visit me again this coming Dec. but recently he changed plan since the airfare keeps on increasing now and that he can`t get another leave this year and so we agreed that he won`t have his 2nd visit anymore.He will just be saving it for my airfare when I had my visa approval soon. I am just worrying if this will affect my interview in the future. As I`ve read the interview experienced here Co.would asks how many times my fiance visited me and if he questioned about my fiance`s stay I might possibly deny or might prolong our waiting time to be reunited. My fiance and I were worrying now about this. Any opinions about this matter. Thanks again!!!!




the way that i understand that law is at it is written u have to have met with in the last two years prior to filing for k1 visa and u have to be able to show proof of meeting so kind of sounds to me like u have met that requirement


Thanks for the reply..Just wanna clarify my fiance visited me already here in my place but that was his first and last visit.My concern was is, is it okay if he visited me just once!!!! TY.



You are fine... My fiance( husband now) visited me only once prior to filing too. God bless on your journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust started the whole process...looking for advice
Follow the guides as others said , and the best personal advise i can give you . Include all evidence of your relationship , along with statements from your fiancee saying that they want too marry you . And aware that you are filling a I-129F , so you both can live her together in the USA . After you are married . And include one passport photo of you and one passport photo of your fiancee , include all evidence of your relationship even from your fiancee . But remember if you send the originals to USCIS , you will not get them back , so just make xerox copies of all documents . You can learn for others mistakes
AaronMMalePhilippines2009-02-13 10:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew 2009 guidlines !!!!!!
The old Proverty Guidelines was $17,500.00 . If you derived an annual income of $20,000.00 before taxes you are fine on the $17,500.00 , cause $20,000.00 annual income * 125% = $2,500.00000 - $20,000.00 your annual income = $17,500.00 the proverity guidelines . But the guidelines have not chnaged yet . When they do , your annual income has to be $20,813.72 before taxes . $20,813.72 * 125% = $2,601.71500 - $20,813.72 = $18,212.00 . Remember you have to send in the i-864 Affidavit of Support , with USCIS when you adjust status . I would just wait untill the new proverty guidelines first .

The Usembassy , will not help you . They have no record of you even applying for a K-1 Visa , and even if they did they dont care . The fact is the United States Government does'nt care about anything , but themselfs . (1) If your Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fianc'e(e) even gets aproved in USCIS , after the current processing time . You still have to wait , just like everyone else (2) Then it gets forwarded to the NVC , and you have to wait longer . (3) NVC forward your papers to the Usembassy of your alien fiancee place of residents , and you have to wait some more again . (4) You wait for your fiancee to receive his/her K-packet , then you have to wait some more (5) You take the Medical Exam , then you wait some more (6) You pay all the required fees , then you wait some more (7) You have to wait untill you the american citizen receive the letter from the usembassy , that states they are ready for you too secudule for interview at the Usembassy . Then you wait some more (8) Then your fiancee goes to the Visa Interview , then you wait some more . (9) Then after the Visa Interview you wait some more , for the Visa Processing . (10) The Passport will be sent too your fiancee home through guarentee currier service , then you wait some more . (11) Then your fiancee gets her visa , then you wait some more after you order plane tickets , then you wait some more (12) Then he/she arrives in USA , then you wait some more (12) You apply to get married , then you wait some more (by law 10 working days to get married after you apply )

This process , is'nt for someone that has no patients , and you have to wait . Same as everyone else

Hello everyone,

According to the example form on this site for the I-129F, in section 10 where it asks about how citizenship was acquired... the example states that if you check Birth in the US, you don't have to fill out the space below asking for the certificate number. It says that this space is filled out only if the box "Naturalization" was checked. Can any of you that have filled out it out confirm that you also left this space blank if you checked "Birth in the US."

We just want to be sure...

Thanks,

I was born in the United States , and check the aproperiate box . And on the line below i wrote Birth Certificate : then the Certificate Number . I did'nt experience any problems in USCIS doing this .( Allso included a Photo Copy of my Birth Certificate front and back ).

I'm sorry, I also have another question. About the I-129F packet, how important is having the copies of your passport stamps? Because I forgot to put that in sad.gif but I had the boarding passes in it. And can I insert that into the next step?
Thank you again.


The passport stamps are very important , it shows entry into that country . You may be getting an RFE (Request for Further Evidence), from USCIS . Same as if you did'nt include USA quality Passport Photo 1 of you and 1 for your fiancee . You must do few things in the Petition process (1) Prove you both have personally meet within 2 year prior to filling the Petition .( Just Photos of both of you together are not enough , cause it's just a photo of two people together . If you provide a photo copy of your passport the identification part clear enough where its easy too see your picture , and a form of photo id issued by the government of your fiancee country . Then you have the proof that you 2 have meet , but the other condition within 2 years prior too filling the Petition . Its good too have something with both of your name and the date on it , like a boarding pass on a bus or boat . Or even go as far as getting an affidavit from usembassy stating that you both have meet). (2) Letter to USCIS where you filled the petition , of your fiancee saying she or he want too marry you . And make the effect that you are aware that , you are petitioning to bring him or her too the USA so you can marry . (3) And prove that you have a bon-fidal relationship , by sending all letters that both of you received from eachother . ( It doesnt need too be the actual letter with the envelopes included . It can be just a photo copy of all the letters ) And dont be supprised if USCIS ask you to provide more evidence of a continuing relationship . At the end of USCIS process of your petition , this has happened before to other couples . So i would be prepaired for that too . I hope this helps you in your journey .

Thank you in advance.


No , a benificary parents or family cannot sponsor a benificary on a k1 k2 k3 k4 visa . only the petitioner can sponsor the benificary , and your annual income has to be at 125% above federal proverty guidelines . The only thing a co-sponsor can do , is be the second sponsor . In the event that the Sponsor (Petitioner cannot provide for the benificary). And the co-sponsor of the benificary , must be a family member of the petitioner . How is the benificary parent or family going to support your fiancee soon too be husband and wife . When he or she arrives in the other country ?

we have not meet each other in person yet. im terrified of flying to go see her. im very scared of airplanes and heights lol. so what is the best way to bring her here to meet for the first time? i was wondering if you guys have had any experience on how to meet the first time here. i figured it would be tough to do because of usa laws. i am willing to meet her here in the usa or mexico or even canada. i will fly her to any of these places and let us meet for the first time. but im not wanting to fly there to the Philippines. so my question is how can we meet for the first time so i wont have to fly to the Philippines. what is the best way to do this and how? what do i need to get here her to visit? once i meet her we can go ahead and get married. thanks so much in advance for you answers and support. godbless.


It is very hard for a citizen of the philippines to get a visa , too enter the usa . And visa weiver doesnt apply to the philippines , for 2 reasons (1) philippines does not participate in the visa weiver program . (2) There is too many philippine citizens get visa too enter usa for other reasons , example work in usa . The only option you have as an american citizen , is too just get plane tickets for the philippines and have a USA Passport . And enter the philippines , and you can stay there in the philippines for a maximum of 21 days as long as you have a return ticket or ticket for unward travel to another country . Too meet the requirement of both of you meeting in person in the past two years , im sorry but there is no way around it . Your religous customs i dont think unless your muslim in iraq , and your marriage is planned by your customs , cause your family is from that country . Which means you were naturalized in the usa . I mean unless you can prove that your marriage was planned by your family and her family at the time of your birth and her birth . Then you must meet in person too meet the requirement , its the only thing you can do about it . I know plane can be scary , but you have to remember that its the safest way of travel . There really isnt anything to worry about in flying , the high prices for plane travel is so cause of the upkeep on all the planes .

Even is she is an overseas worker, it will be much easier for her to come directly from there. Forget about going back to the Philippines unless she needs to go home for legal reasons. The US Consulate is easier on the people that are already out of the country as they already know that in order to get their passport for work is very difficult. She will need all the police clearances for each country she has been in for more than six months and you will still need the standard medical examination. She will also need a passport that will be valid for more (I believe) one year after she arrives in the US.

I brought my fiancee here from Hong Kong in 2005, where she was employed as an overseas worker.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLost hope?



I think that sometimes we need to get to the end of ourselves so that we realize none of this is really up to us, that we don't have any control over it. It is then that we turn to the Lord and just ask Him for Mercy and that He will help us. This is all that we could do in our own waiting, which was not nearly as long as yours..."Lord please help our friend Wolf and grant Him an approval in the next couple of days"


Rob and Melinda



Wolf, when we put our trust in the world, we always end up disappointed. And putting our trust in government bureaucracy is downright laughable! It's material for a stand-up comedy routine! But when you put your trust in God, you're reminded that the same loving father who took care of you yesterday will continue to look after you today. He may have put your visa on pause just to remind you of this.

You can go light a candle


Rather than praying for yourselves or friends, can you invoke the Lord to send all the USCIS workers into high gear, or have the government make the process more transparent. That would help everybody. But if you do have some influence there, what I would want most is WORLD PEACE and no more poverty and suffering. They can take as long as they want with my K1 if I could have that.
I just have a hard time with people putting their trust in God for THEIR situation to work out. If it does, it's because God helped them, if it doesn't it's because God had a different plan, and maybe wanted them to wait a little longer just for their own good somehow.
Since God can do anything AND nothing, that really cancels any influence out. And I'm sure He has a lot to do besides worrying about US. So why not at least save the power of God for things that REALLY matter.
I know it makes us feel better to have some all-knowing higher force to save us from having to think about all the impossible inequities in life. Inequities right here, and inequities everywhere.
It just is not LOGICAL. Random inequities exist that there is NO explanation for.
I have nothing against people having private faith of whatever sort helps them get through life. But why do you have to keep bouncing your faith against other people, like a sort of insecurity that needs outer reinforcement. Join with the "good" people, dehumanize the "bad" people, and you got the seeds planted for war right there.
So why am I bothering to post this? I don't know. I've just heard some of these lines one too many times.
If you want comfort in your waiting, I suggest thinking about people living in other parts of the world, such as Iraq and Lebanon, with family members dead, wounded and dying, or families of soldiers fighting in the Iraq war separated by multiple, indefinite tours. We can wait.


Well said.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLost hope?

I am a lapsed catholic but do not begrudge anyone their prayers.

But truly, you are the mercy of gov't, NOT God.

I wish you well.


Yeah, seriously. There are reasons this process is slow (especially for people with a previous K1) and they don't have anything to do with some god. There are people controlling this.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport Photos

My fiancee has to wear glasses because he needs a very slight vision correction. He can see fine without them, but he can read better at distances (it doesn't give him headaches) if he wears them. In all of our pictures together that we plan on sending with the I-129F, he is wearing his glasses. When he went to get the passport photo done yesterday, though, they couldn't take it with his glasses on because it was giving too much glare. Does anyone know if it will be any sort of issue? I only worry because all of his other pictures show him with his glasses on but the passport picture doesn't.

I guess it's the jitters since we're so very close to getting this whole packet sent out.


That really should not be any sort of problem. There are tons of people who wear glasses some of the time or most of the time or something.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about the passport photo before I send out the I-129F packet...

Even on Monday, it makes it 31 days. -_-


Take it to a photo copy place, get a copy printed, cut it to size and write his name on it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about the passport photo before I send out the I-129F packet...

My Canadian fiancé got his passport photo taken while he was here on July 28th. Today is August 25th. I am only now getting around to send in the I-129F packet because I had to come up with the fee (thank you, Mother) since I've been having a lot of financial problems because of work jacking me around, but that's a whole 'nother story...

Anyway, before I could stop him, he wrote his name on the back of the photo and added the date. From what I have heard, #1, you do not date the back of the passport photo, and #2, the passport photo is only good for 30 days from the date taken.

By the time this package gets there, it will be over the 30-day mark. How likely am I to get an RFE because of this photo?


Maybe you can get a copy made?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy K1 Application was just approved,,91 days !!!


:P Mine was 15 days.


I know you are happy and all, but there are a lot of frustrated people on this board that probably would view your comment as bragging. Maybe you should keep that stuff in check and consider others that have been waiting for four months or more.


Anyway, isn't that the one who had stuff on file since March and resubmitted in July?
heisheFemaleEngland2006-08-27 08:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWell!
Here is a picture of the clip! I am at work and all I have is my camera phone, so this isn't great quality. I have some pics of the rest of the package, but I want to edit out our names and such before I post those. I'm going to try and mail this back right when I leave work today, so I won't have time to go home and take better quality pictures. Any request? :D

Also I'm taking this opportunity to add more evidence to our file; I think what I had there initially was probably enough but I also have a bank statement showing me spending loads of money in London, so what the heck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWell!
But it won't let me look up the case in the USCIS database. Probably they just gave me the next sticker but didn't enter it yet.
heisheFemaleEngland2006-08-29 13:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWell!
Oh, the case number is on bar code stickers on my application too, so I guess it's mine for good now!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWell!

Oooh! Take pictures! I wanna see what it looks like after it's been sorted and stuff!
I'm glad you hear there is some progress! :)

Will do. They attached the photos to my bio form like I said and they took my evidence photographs out of the Ziploc I sent them in and put them in an opaque envelope with "photos" handwritten on it. They seem to have rearranged the order of my evidence and they removed the cover letter. My check is stapled to the I-129f. The whole thing is bound with a metal clip thing at the top and there is a Notice of Action stapled to the front that says it's a rejection notice. The NOA has a case number on it. I wonder if I'll have the same case number when I resubmit? There is another paper stapled behind the NOA with a list of rejection reasons and a check beside the one that applies to me, missing signature.
