K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDual citizens that applied for K1 in their 2nd country - advice needed!

His Iranian heritage will certainly play a part. I kind of assume he has or had a Muslim name. They will run background checks on him using that name which if it is a common name will probably take some time. Police certificates are not required for Iranians. I can only assume that since he is Iranian also they wanted proof he didn't have a wife back home while trying to marry you also since in Iran this would be perfectly legal.

The name is the only thing I would think to give you problems.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have a question..maybe a few.

The more time spent together the better. Make sure you keep all the proof, boarding passes, receipts, etc. Take some pics with the family and all that good stuff to show a relationship. The only problem I see is her possibly having a hard time obtaining a tourist visa.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForeign marriage after obtaining the K1 visa?

If it is considered a legal marriage no, you cannot do it first. The purpose of the K-1 visa is to permit the intending immigrant to come to the US to marry inside the US. If you are already married you cannot come on a fiance visa. You might be able to come here, marry, then marry in a Muslim ceremony and have it recorded in his country. Check with the embassy of Pakistan for further information (that is where in the US you would have your Iranian affairs handled).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresneed help about I-134 / affidavit of support

Is your sister or her daughter US citizens? Have they worked in the US for 10 years? Have they abandoned their green card or died? If the answer to all of these is no then you are still liable for them under the I-864. They will be included as part of your household for determing the number of persons you are supporting. It doesn't matter if they are personally dependent on you, you are still obligated under the I-864

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWaiver for not meeting. What is required?

There was no way I could have travelled to Iran as a single woman. My significant other could not obtain a tourist visa to the US. We met in Sweden where his sister lives. Why not pick a nice third country and meet there? One of you could bring a friend if you need a chaparone.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS while K1 pending..

Me thinks Brother Hezekiel is still lurking about, maybe he has a sex change?

Your circumstances have changes enough that I don't think you will have any problems. Why go back home when there is now nothing to return to. Make sure you are aware of the full costs of AOS, it is pretty steep. You will have to, after marriage, file the I-130 and the I-485 as well as have a medical exam. And you can't leave until you have AP in hand.

One last note since I don't think she will ever be back. Reading back through the posts she stated she would talk to him about marriage and filing for the CR-1. I wonder if that happened? Maybe a day or two ago? Just before he was in this accident? He decided to milk her for all he could before he disappeared? (or pretend died from the accident)?

This is a scam, 99% sure it is a scam. If you google on the internet you will find it everywhere. Please verify this independently before you send anything. What will it matter is you wait an hour to send the money while you check things out? Of course they are going to push you to send the money right away, that way you won't have time to discover you've been scammed.

Ask for the name of the hospital and google it for a phone number. Call the hospital yourself. There will be someone there who can speak English, almost all doctors speak English to some degree. Verify the situation.

I just hope your next post isn't about how he died or you can't reach him now that he has taken all your money.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi am 40 years older than my finance

I can only tell you my own experience. We have been married almost five years now, he has no children and I have three. I am 50 he is 40. He always said he did not want children.  His mother is pressuring him to have a child. He is now saying he wouldn't mind having one child. His mother even suggested he return to Iran and marry a second wife there and have a child. She already has about 12 grandchildren so it is not like she needs more, she just wants him to have a child of his own. Is it a major problem for us..No. But the pressure from the family is something to consider. Also remember the desire to come to the land of riches and an easy life may blind him to the fact of wanting children. Once he gets here it could change.

Advice. get married first. Nigeria is extremely hard on applicants. Proving a real relationship there requires a lot of proof. Go there, get married, take lots of pictures. Live with him for a bit if you can.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied because I am ugly???

Anytime a visa is denied a piece of paper stating why is given. She needs to send you by some method this piece of paper. (Scan, mail, whatever).

She cannot interview again if she was denied.If there was a denial the petition will be returned where it will most likely be permitted to expire. Then you will have to start all over.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-09-25 05:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa Denied because I am ugly???

If the K-1 was denied she cannot re-interiew in 14 days, they may have been thinking she was applying for a tourist visa.

I would suggest you return, marry, and apply for a CR-1. Gather more evidence of your relationship and submit it with your new petition.

And sorry for what some ignorant person said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I marry my fiance in Cambodia first with an approved K-1 Fiance Visa?

Will he still be your fiance when he enters the US? of course not, he will be your husband so he can't enter on a fiance visa.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-09-30 13:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite process and verbiage

Your attempt to request an expediate based upon you not having enough money could backfire with a reply from them "How are you going to support your fiance if you can't support yourself?" It will take at least 90 days for her to obtain her work authorization after she arrives. You would marry, file for AOS, big chunck of money there, and she would receive a work authorizaration in 60-90 days after filing.

Be careful.

Rather than do all this, can she obtain a visitor's visa? Come get married, leave, file for Taxpayers ID number.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-10-05 09:04:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs this possible? Need help

You have two choices.

1. Leave the USA

2. Remain her without status, unable to legally work, obtain a driver's license, etc.

You can return home and apply for another visa.

Forget about VAWA, you didn't even get married.

You've only been in the US for one week and already left your fiance. That didn't take long.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFinancial support - K1 visa

He must show a current income that exceeds 125% of the poverty level for his household size. This is done by tax returns, pay stubs, employment letter, etc. If his current income is too low he may use assets to make up the difference at 5X the shortfall. So if his income is $1,000 less than the poverty guideline he must show assets of $5,000.

If his current income exceeds the poverty level there is no need to include assets.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance k1 visa

Whether he was in London legally or not you must have met face-to-face within two years. Can you prove you were both in London at the same time? This is the proof that will be required for the petition.

The meeting in 2004 will not count as that was 9 years ago, clearly not within the two year time frame. An unused ticket will not count as you did not meet him.

You must prove by such evidence as passport stamps, boarding passes, receipts, or other hard proof that the two of you have met within two years of filing the petition.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresincome requirement ... enough or need a co sponsor pls help

If it's that big of an issue, i.e. the person makes 100% but not 125% you will want a co-sponsor. Manilla is notarious for not permitting co-sponsors unless there is good reason, such as a recent graduate with good job prospects. Even it it's only 100% you will need 125% to AOS. Either a co-sponsor or a second job.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-10-23 13:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEAD for K-1 ? Have a job offer

Have all your AOS paperwork filed out and ready to go. Marry the day you enter or the day after. Depending on where you marry you might be able to walk the certificate to the clerk and get a certified copy same day. Put it in the envelope with your AOS paperwork. Go to a location to next day express send it. AOS paperwork at processing location two days after your entry.Then it takes 60-90 days to obtain the EAD which is free if filed with AOS. You can request an expediate with proof of an employment offer but don't count on approval.

You can file for EAD when you arrive, and pay for it, but it will take 60-90 days to receive. It will expire the day your I-94 expires so within weeks of receipt and then you will have to quit your employment.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvisa k1 question

After you submit the petition packet you will receive a receipt (NOA-1) that the packet has been received. When the petition is approved you will receive a receipt (NOA-2) informing you the petition was approved and forwarded to the embassy. The actual visa is applied for by the immigrant and you usually will find out the day of the interview if it is approved or not.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-11-08 17:58:00

Lock that bad boy up somewhere where you won't lose it. You will need it to file for AOS. If you lose it the cost is something like $400 to replace it.

Postpone the interview and while you are waiting check into what is needed to teach in your state. My hubby is a veterinarian in his home country but to obtain his license in the US he would either have to go back to school or spend $6,000 to take a test that he probably wouldn't pass.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescan i request a second drug test?

My only reference is what I was told when I was drug tested by the US Air Force many years ago. They said it was to allow for going to concerts where you were in the midst of the smoke or other areas where you had been exposed not by choice. Don't know what the allowable levels were but trace would probably be a good guess.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-12-05 07:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescan i request a second drug test?

I know the US military allows for a small amount of THC in their urine test to allow for passive smoking, Don't know if the embassy does or not., Either way I doubt they will permit a second test. The whole purpose it to give no warning.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen do I disclose that my Fiance overstayed?

oops wait, maybe bad advice. She was authorized to stay for up to six months being from Canada right. So if she left prior to overstaying by six months she has no ban and no waiver needed. I was originally thinking total time stayed.


belinda63FemaleIran2013-09-25 18:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhen do I disclose that my Fiance overstayed?

Wo she came to the US claiming to be visiting but with intent to immigrate.

An attorney told you, wrongly, that she needed an I-94 although she is from Canada and they don't give those.

Then she left the US and tried to return with the intent to immigrate again, and was caught.

She currently has a three year ban from entering the US. You need to file the K-1 and be totally honest on all the forms. One lie and she could get a life-time ban. After her visa is denied you can file  the I-601 waiver for her overstay.

Good Luck.
