K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWithdrawing I129 petition?
I totally agree.

This process sucks and you have to be patient. You cna't just give up after a month.

There are ppl here that have waited years...just be patient, stick with the system, and it will work for you. Jumping out of line to do it an illegal way (which what you are saying IS...to go to the US with the express intent of marrying...) is a horrible idea.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresApproved


Thank you all for the information ......


Daisy, you already know from your numerous posts over the past several months that you are in a position for your visa to be denied based on your illegal presence in the US. This is why so many members provided you with information regarding how to prepare a 601 waiver and hardship letter prior to your interview. Since the hardship letter needs to be written by your USC fiance and a great deal of documentation is required, he should have this prepared now for your interview.



Excellent advice!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSorry, just venting
I think NOT posting an approval or a milestone or celebration just to appease those are irritated is stupid. Sorry. This is a public support forum and if you don't like to read about other ppl getting through the system then don't come here...I mean i'm really not trying to be harsh or anything...

Did you expect this process to be a piece of cake? A Quick breeze through process for everyone?? Is it fair?? no...is it just the way the process is?? yes.

To think that someone saying "Hey I got approved fast" Is GLOATING is insane...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 received..what is next...
In addition he needs to start filling out the waiver stuff people have explained to you. Due to your overstay, he will most likely have to fill it out anyway so might as well get started.

good luck.

That's a different issue - at least with AOS you are together. These ppl are talking about not being together yet...which is something we've ALL been through.

My point is, it's easy to give advice when you haven't dealt with the situation yourself



But that's MY point....we HAVE all dealt with is. We've all waited, we've all been separated....that is the process.
CarolineMFemaleAustralia2006-09-19 14:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTOUCHED......then NOTHING?
I think his point is...this is the process...we deal with it.
Some have a quicker journey than others, but sitting around and complaining about it won't speed it up.

This is how you do it...this is how you get your SO here and you should have known that BEFORE you started...you KNEW you'd wait...

His point about "just relax" is valid. You can sit around and whine and moan and complain or you can relax and keep living your life and WAITING.

It sucks, but that's the way it is....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAttorney vs. DIY
There are cases where lawyers have helped and some where they have ROYALLY screwed up...

Just like anything there are pros and cons to either way. I did it myself, and so have others, but it ultimately is your desicion. Look over ALL the forms and instructions...if you feel competent enough and comfortable doing them - them it's TOTALLY doable, but if you feel you need help or you like that bit of security...then spend the money.

Nice god-faring man...

Not such god faring comments....upgrade??

I think this whole thread is odd. You aren't even going to WORK on your first marriage? No counseling? no talking??? NOTHING? Just let her go and start up with the NEXT petition??

A promise to marry from someone like that has much more lasting value in my perspective



You talk about marriage promises and lasting value - but the first sign of trouble in your CURRENT marriage and you're out the door?? I say practice what you preach my friend...


Im going to take my time... I am just thinking about doing some things different this time


You say you are taking your time...but you're already talking marriage and K3 visas? That's not taking it slow, trust me.

Just because you marry in a church in the Phills doesn't mean anything will be different.

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

Okay, Your not married yet! I would follow through with your original plan with the K-1 Visa, It's started with your I-129f petition, It would not complicate the process more, But waiting for the cancellation then doing DCF would be much more time consuming, I would advise just to be patient and let the K-1 flow


This is 100% inaccurate for THIS situation. DCF in New Zeal. and Australia - even with the new changes, is a breeze. Your USC does not have to be there for the interview, they just have to be there ONCE to file paperwork...either way - this way is

1. faster
2. easier
3. corerct (Since you'll be married...can't use a K1)
4. and will allow the Kiwi to enter the US with work authorization, therefore eliminating the whole "wait to work" issue.

DCF!! It's the way to go. Do your research and see the others here who have done this...

Will not lengthen your process.

And, I recall that NZ is VERY accomodating to couples and their travel plans. I suggest that you get in touch with them as soon as you have a grasp on the process so you can get the details from them


Very accomodating!!!

AND AND AND

Air New Zealand has some WICKED deals from America right now!!!! Look at their website! I got a ticket OVER XMAS - peak season - for only 1600...it's under 1000 for non peak!

WEll. We're on a thread complaining about the wait for a K-1 to be approved. This person has already fioled a K-1 - doesn't want to wait...he says he has a tourist visa and they'd get married...


if that's not intent, I don't know what is...and that was my point. This pesron would CLEARLY be using a tourist visa to come get married.....
CarolineMFemaleAustralia2006-09-27 13:53:00

3) Get married and go straight for the AOS-I have a tourist visa.



This is illegal, FYI.
CarolineMFemaleAustralia2006-09-27 13:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConsidering abandoning our 129F

At least we'd be married in a K-3 situation. Would we have to wait the same amount of time? I don't think so. This is pretty unusual.



So it's not that you have to wait...it's that you aren't married? And ...HELLO the waiting would be MORE because you're starting over. Just have some patience...WAIT.

Her point is, move to canada to be with your SO - live there for a year and then apply for DCf....


If you reapply for a K3 you're starting all over again and waiting the same amount of time...so what's the point??
