K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I wonder if it makes any difference that the divorce decree also says incompatibility and unreconcilable differences.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 12:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I hope so too. I guess it could be considered infedelity because we were not divorced, only living apart. I wonder if it depends on the country your petitioning through whether or not it is brought up. I read that some members had issues because they were engaged before the divorce is finalized, but they DID file AFTER their divorce.In some cases they were denied or put under AP because the CO considered it was an infidelity issue. In my very personal opinion, I think is nobody bussiness what you do with your life, the USCIS specific require is "BE FREE to marry" legally and personally. How you get to that point is your life, so I dont agree with the CO making a desicion base in his/her moral statements. In my case I was a lil concern cause my husband and I got engaged 6 month after his divorce was ready. He got marry on 2003 and they agreed to separate on 2006, no kids. They were lazy about filling the divorce for 5 years even when they already had new partners and complete separate lifes. When he decided that he wanted to spend his life with me they did the paperwork. But we date for a year while he was still married. But thanked God it was never brought during my interview (k1). Neither his ex wife or his past married life. Nothing. I was approved without issues. I hope you guys make it without problems I also agree that it shouldn't be there choice on their own morals, just if you meet the requirements.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 12:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	My decree doean't state seperation time, only that we were married on _____ and filed for divorce on _____. Thank you for your support everyone, i'm just looking to feel better about this. This is the only thing I'm worried about, truly.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 11:43:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I dont have any type of separation agreement. Is that a problem?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 11:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	The petition was filed after the divoce was filed and recorded. so everything was completed by the time we had filed. my fiance is aware of all dates regarding my previous divorce and no children were conceived.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 11:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I don't know if it will help our case but my new fiance and I are attending premarital counseling and submitted a letter with our application to avoid another scenario of divorce.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 10:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	Now i'm worried. What do I do? :-(	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 10:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	Well that was a scary answer. my old divorce only happened because of incompatibility, not because of my foreign fiancee.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 10:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I'm asking if they delay in divorce filing and the time i met my fiancee going to be a problem? i proposed to her in May of 2013	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 09:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Previous marriage question	I have a question about my previous marriage that has been itching at me for a while.  We decided to separate in August 2012, same month I met my finacee.  We separated in October and I moved out, same month as I actually met my finacee in her hometown.  Because the divorce was a mutual divorce, we had no problems with each other, we delayed filing until December.  Will this be any red flag for our case? I hope not.  i didn't find anyway to explain this in our petition.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-25 09:13:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa, fb paper overload/ printer explosion!!?!?!?!?	what i did was take a few lines out of each conversation and do this by a monthly format.   example:   March 2013   - - - - -           APril 2013 - - - - - -       May 2013   - - - -         that's why i did because i have longs since 2011!!! best of luck   you can do monthly or weekly,,whatever suits u best   we did something similar to this as well.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-03 11:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Question for you posters	Why is religion, previous marriage and such so much of a bad thing? I can see how different religions, countries, don't mix, but other than that, I don't see any issue.  And as far as prior marriages are concerned, why are those always brought up as long as the petitioner filed after the divorce was finalized?  I'm just really curious because I really feel giving all of these scenarios just worries everyone more.  Maybe it's just me.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-19 15:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Divorce Decree	Now that is what I need. :-)	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-20 12:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Divorce Decree	this is why I'm concerned. some answers saying need to be certified and some answers say it just needs to be a copy. I just made an actual copy of the divorce decree. I can bring a certified copy to the interview with no problem but I thought it just needs to be a regular copy for now.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-20 09:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Divorce Decree	I think I read that it needs to be certified, which the version I sent was not.  I never got a certified copy from the lawyer, just a copy.  Anyone ever have an issue with a copy or have had it go through without an issue.  I sort of expect an RFE, but it doesn't sound like the end of the world.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-19 22:09:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The best way to pay for I-129F package	I just used a regular personal check to be able to verify when funds are withdrawn.  I had no issue.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-20 22:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-134 Question	No.  The 5x is if you are using assets.  You need to have 5x the assets if you make under the poverty guidelines.  Just the difference between the two.  If you're over the poverty guidelines, don't worry about it.     Oh thank god.  I was really worried for a moment!	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-23 12:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I-134 Question	Wait. I'm confused.  Your income needs to be 5x more than what the limit is for two people? Or 125%? I thought it was 125%.  I'm missing something.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-23 12:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Moral turpitude and esta problems	He had to go to court for both convictions? This is more of a personal question as I'm curious.   Edited by johnnyv, 30 August 2013 - 09:08 PM.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-30 21:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Another moral turpitude question	According to this http://www.state.gov...ation/86942.pdf even if I had been convicted it wouldn't go against me because it was when I was a minor, under the age of 18.  I still had not been convicted, but I was definitely looking for information that would make me feel better.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-31 16:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Another moral turpitude question	Thats all I received was an escort but of course because it invlolved the police, I started to worry.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-31 09:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Another moral turpitude question	This only counts CONVICTIONS, but nothing else? I had the police take me to a center for troubled teens (I was) when I was 13 over an incident with my mother, but I was NEVER convicted, NEVER needed to attend court, and NEVER charged.  Am I okay for saying No on the 1-29F? I thought I would since it mentions only convictions, which I do not have.  I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I want clarification (again).     Edited by johnnyv, 30 August 2013 - 09:40 PM.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-08-30 21:36:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Admiited previous drug use	Does it matter much if it he/she was a minor at the time?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-07-28 13:06:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 visa eligibility after a caution	If you weren't convicted of anything I don't see a problem.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-09-27 22:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Am I going overboard with my Chat History Submission?	I used 10-15 pages of skype messages where I copied/pasted the information and I got an approval without any RFE.  It may depend on the country you're petitioning for, but I went a simple route and it didn't seem to be a problem.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-04 18:49:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New Income	Anyone?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-07 16:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New Income	I currently make 29,000 a year but am very unhappy with my current job.  I've applied for the K-1 visa, already received NOA2 and received notice that my petition has been forwarded to the NVC.  I applied for a new job and one offers less money, 24k a year, but I'm considering taking it to be happier in my workplace.  Will this income be sufficient for my Canadian fiancee?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-07 14:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Department of State phone number	It was sent last week to NVC and they haven't received it yet.  They said up to 8 weeks.  Should I wait 8 weeks, or keep trying?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-09 12:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Department of State phone number	I tried again and it worked.  Apparently they don't answer the phone on Wednesday between 11-12, which is what I tried.  I'm on hold now.  I hope it isn't 40 minutes....	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-09 12:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Department of State phone number	The number listed on the K-1 flowchart is 603-334-0700, but the number is always busy.  Is this the most up to date phone number? If not, can you provide me one?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-09 11:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Medical exam	Can anyone else chime in?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-15 09:01:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Medical exam	Okay. I've read things here on VJ about scar issues and having to go back to the medical a second time. We'd like to prevent that because it's 8 hours away.     How is history with depression bad? She had depression as a teenager, who didn't.  Is that a denial reason? She never attempted suicide or anything of that nature.  Edited by johnnyv, 14 October 2013 - 09:56 PM.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-14 21:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Medical exam	My fiancee has keloid on her earlobe.  A keloid is a growth of scar tissue from a previous surgery.  She can have it surgically removed beforehand I think, but do you think we'll have an issue at our medical? Do you think it'll do me much good to call the actual doctor that our exam is at and see if it'll be a problem?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-14 20:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	NoA 2 Validity Date	$20 is chump change compared to all you've spent and will spend on this haha.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-19 20:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What does this mean? (interview question)	Found this on travel.state.gov.   Applicants whose 21st birthday is before the appointment date should immediately contact the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General where the interview will occur to request an earlier appointment. Failure to receive a visa before the applicant's 21st birthday may make the applicant ineligible for an immigrant visa at this time. My beneficiary's 21st birthday was March of 2012.  What does this mean?	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2013-10-20 09:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Being unemployed and filling out I-134?	No, you will be fine as long as you have a co-sponsor!	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2014-02-08 23:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Planning to have a wedding party outside the US and interview questions?	1. I don't think it would hurt. But as you stated, you'll marry in the states, receive her green card, and then you'll leave for the ceremony. I don't see that as a problem.  If you do it in that order.   2. I don't think that is necessary.   3. I can't answer this one.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2014-02-10 00:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	documents and papers copy must be colored or not problem if black and white?	Black and white is fine.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2014-02-14 15:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Fiance Visa still under review	If you are in the U.S for 365 days illegally, you will have a ban. They are now aware of that stay, and he'll have to waive out the ban. You do not have to be deported to receive this ban. It starts from the moment he left the USA.	johnnyv	Male	Canada	2014-02-14 18:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	A big problem please I really need help now... URGENT. (merged)	Actually, my advice won't help. You're from the Philippines and from what I've read they don't accept joint sponsors. If you can, postpone the interview.
