Look at stats under immigration timelines at the top of your screen. There are definitely some differences in processing times at the consulates. Lots of explanations for that here on VJ, I'll leave it to people with more experience than us. Good luck to you!

I don't think you need to prove the extent of your relationship at this point (that may come later). All you need to show is that you have met during the past two years, and you intend to marry within 90 days of her arrival. Many of us include lots of pictures and receipts, etc., and some embassies ask more questions than others. I think you are in good shape based on what you told us.

Ah, I got it! That's quite a situation. Marry American, become American, leave American, petition for foreign fiancee (who may eventually become an American).

I can see how it may be viewed as fraud, especially, as pushbrk stated, if both parties knew each other prior to coming to America. USCIS would wonder if there was not some plan from the outset.

How could USCIS check whether the new fiancee previously had known the naturalized citizen? Seems like a daunting task, to say the least.

I'll leave it for them to figure out.


The hypothetical pushbrk presented is exactly why scrutiny is so intense at some consulates. The PI has a long, established immigration history with the US, and LOTS of confusing issues including fraud.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuick question about I-129F form, Question 18
I only put the first meeting place and circumstances (dinner at friends house) on the form. I also supplied pictures, etc. from subsequent meetings. It all worked fine, and we were approved. The question is designed to show if you met through relatives, etc., or anything indicating fraud. The proof is to demonstrate that you have met face-to-face. Two different things.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOpening the Provisional Case file
QUOTE (jbmail @ Nov 13 2008, 06:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello all,

I was just speaking with a friend who applied the same time I did in July and he already has his NOA2 weeks ago, so knowing there is NO rhyme or reason to the way that USCIS works, I probably have the adjudicator that went on vacation or is out with the flu for 3 weeks and nothing will get touched???

When I spoke about NEVER being able to get an interview in December unless we got approval this week, he answered that if time is a problem and waiting into 2009 is a problem, try opening a Provisional case to speed things up, as soon as you receive NOA2!

We have a problem with january as she has to move before then, and we are trying to avoid a move, for just a few weeks delay

From what I can see, opening this case file, just speeds it up for the time its in transit (?), and it doesn't seem like you'd be that far ahead?

Does anyone have any knowledge of doing this and any benefits? If its just days, its not worth it, but if you might be able to get an appointment faster, it might be worth a try

Thanks again

JB

Regardless of the legal ramifications which may very well play into the equation here...

At certain Embassy's the 'age factor' can have significant bearing on the CO's decision whether to issue a visa or not.

Sydney is not a high fraud post. In places like HCMC, China, Vietnam, PI, the Middle East...etc...a relationship can be scrutinized a great deal. The significant age difference can, and very often does, add yet another level of doubt about the circumstances of the relationship.

In these situations it is best to know just what to expect and prepare well ahead of time with as much proof as you can.


I guess I'm ready to stop dancing around the issue. This is a Manila case. As such the 45 year old OP attempting to bring a just turned 18 year old fiancee to the US on a K1 visa is going to have to deal with overcoming some potential red flags or outright grounds for denial.

We don't know anything more than what the OP has told us.

If he met this girl through her family in the US, the assumption will be no bona fide relationship because the whole thing is to get an immigration benefit for his friend's relative.

If she was a prostitute, she'll be denied probably even if it's only suspected.

They'll want to rule out statutory rape being part of the early relationship. (Yes, this is one of those cases where a Consular officer is justified in asking about sexual relations.)

Showing a bona fide relationship is certainly possible, when there is one but it's a greatly larger challenge under some circumstances. Without more information, we really can't help much but let's no encourage the man with false hope based on what may well be very different sets of circumstances.

This couple will need a plausible explanation for how they came to be fiance and fiancee and it's going to have to be the truth.

There is one possibility that no one (at least still present in the thread) has discussed. The possibility exists that the OP is a troll jerking our collective chain.

Check the family codes for UAE for marriage consent or marriage authorization.

Parent that disaprove of the marriage is not a good thing.


Yeah I know...also she mentions that her religion is directly reflected in her government....if it's true that both sides have to be able to marry freely, I seriously hope that doesn't get in our way.

I took the USA's separation of church and state for granted....


To be clear, for a fiance visa both sides must be free to marry in the jurisdiction where the marriage is to take place. So, for that one small point, the laws of UAE do not apply. There may well be procedures that include parental consent (similar to the Philippines) within UAE. You need UAE specific information on that.

Running away at some point may be the only way to get married, if her parents would never approve. It could also be a recipe for long term unhappiness. Please be careful with this young woman's heart. I expect her family is very important to her.


I've asked her over and over about that....I don't want her to feel as if she's being forced to do this, and I definitely don't want to tear her apart from her family. She's assured me that if she would run away it would be of her own decision, so I respect and trust that she'll make the right one, and I'll love her regardless.

This is seeming more and more impossible to do this.. If she was here on say, a student visa, how would we go about this situation then? Is it possible to marry on a student visa and then have her become legal through that?


When a foreign student marries here, I think he or she can usually stay here through the chang of status process. In fact, until the status is changed it may be best to stay to avoid re-entry problems. If you are married while she is here, I do not think you need another kind of visa. I will defer to others here with more experience with this situation though - and wish you luck.

I have heard plenty of negative comments about my SO and our relationship, so I understand what you are going through. I even joke with her occasionally that no matter what we do, some Americans are going to think I bought her out of a web catalogue, even though we met here at a dinner party. She responds with something like "why worry about what others think?" Words to the wise. The situation will show who your real friends are. And you have to believe your family is commenting primarily because they care for you. I agree with the other posters here - talk to them, and show them. Time will erase many doubts.

I agree with the comments above about being accurate, etc.. I would just add that there is a "more is better" group on VJ that will tell you to send all kinds of stuff. We did send pictures of us together in Ukraine, and pics of me with Vika and her family. Vika brought about three binders of stuff to the interview that was (as I warned) completely useless. We had zero questions and were approved in 90 seconds. The guidelines or regs just call for substantive proof that you have 1) met during the past two years, and 2) that you intend to marry within 90 days of SO's arrival in the US (for a K-1). That is all the USCIS and embassy in Ukraine are looking for.

The whole process can be very confusing, especially to newbie's....so lets be patient guys and gals. I know sometimes I can read something 4 or 5 times and skip a word.

And I can be too literal sometimes smile.gif


Advising people to read carefully and interpret literally is not a sign of "impatience". It's critical advice for success in the visa process.

especially when the same question gets asked daily.

Its not an insult to adv reading the guides, nor reading the guides carefully. The requirment of meeting within 2 years is stated about as simple as it can get


That was not what I was referring to. But you do get this sense of this attitude of "what's so bloooming hard!!!!!"

That is a rude response. And if everyone was able to do this with little help, and interpret literally and correctly every single time...then this forum would consist mostly of "I miss my fianceee / spouse...." , divorce and "how do I get my greencard after I leave" threads.

And you must bare in mind that not all people have the same abilities to interpret the information correctly. Regardless of how easy it seems to you and I.


I agree with your comments E&D, but I don't think any harm was meant by the others. Some of the long term members have a huge amount of expertise, but seem to be frustrated by every other newbie rattling off the same questions. Not long ago, I was the newbie, and got some pretty sharp responses to what I thought were completely benign questions. After some fire spitting and a few PMs, my opinion is that they mostly want to help - but the "did you even READ the directions on the package?" bursts forth sometimes. No harm, no foul, and a cool head helps. You will note that there was no name calling at all, and all responses were civil. Those are good indications that help was intended - not criticism IMHO. star_smile.gif

Just to make sure - are you sure they will be sending all this to my fiance in Ukraine and not me here in US? If that's the case, which address they will be using for fiance - one in my I-129F or his G325a? The problem is he didn't specify apartment # in his form by accident and I'm afraid that could cause problems...

yes address is important. and if he didnt specify the apt number, you should be able to call USCIS and update the address
Also, when approved or if approved, and gone thru NVC, the embassy will need somewhere to mail the package 3


When you are approved (in Kiev) you will take your pink card out to the FedEx window and arrange for delivery. You can specify ANY address for delivery of the visa and alternate people to sign for it. The address for visa delivery need not bear any relation to your fiancee's home address. Other than the fact that you do not want to "lie" about anything, the address of the overseas fiancee is completely facetious. You do not "need" anything that will be sent to her and, in fact, you are delaying the process by several weeks to wait for anything to be delivered to her, if it ever arrives.

I downloaded packet 3 (you have no need for packet 4) about the time I filed the I-129f petition and my wife never saw the papers in packet 3 until I met her the day before the interview. We reviewed everything and she signed what she needed. (except DS-156K which MUST be signed at the consulate) We had our packet 3 completed LONG before the visa was approved (NOA2) and the day it was entered in the consulate computer I called and scheduled an interview, packet 3 never had the chance to "leave the gate" so to speak, and we were ready. About 2 weeks AFTER we had already scheduled an interview I git an email saying that our case had been received and packet 3 had been sent to my fiancee. She never got it, but it was completely irrelevent anyway.

I prepared the AOS papers before she arrived in the USA, needing to add only the copy of our marriage license and copy of her I-94 plus entering "A" numbers, I-94 numbers and such. We went from filing the petition to receiving her green card in less than 10 months and it would have been 2 months sooner if it hadn't been for our own personal conflicts in scheduling the interview in Kiev and Alla finishing out her work there. Bottom line...the address is not important (except for being truthful in records)and NEVER wait for the government to send you something you can download yourself.


I would just add here that you also have the option to leave no address with FedEx. Then you can call them (or they will call you), and you can pick up the information at the Fedex office in Kiev. This is how we did it, and had the visa in about 48 hours. To be fair, you should allow extra time in Kiev in case the processing at the embassy takes a few days longer than ours did.

QUOTE (payxibka @ Jan 19 2009, 09:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just to echo Brad

All approved I-129F petitions are being sent by USCIS to the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, rather then being sent directly to the overseas issuing post. The NVC performs all initial procedures, after which the completed petition is sent to the appropriate office overseas. You may be sure that once we have received an approved petition, we will contact your fiancé(e) regarding preparations for the formal visa interview.

When we receive an approved I-129F petition, we send information to the beneficiary. The Information packet (the former Packet 3 and 4) tells the applicant what documents he or she must collect prior to the visa interview and how to schedule the formal visa interview. The Information packet for applicants from Ukraine is in Ukrainian. We also have forms in English. The complete list of the required documents is posted on this page under the Information packet link.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow important is fiance address?
The information is available by download from the embassy website, in Ukrainian or English I think. The address (including apartment number) is important if lack ofa number will cause mail to not be delivered. Since the Ukrainian post will deliver the packet, native language can be helpful.

You can call USCIS to make an address change. There is a phone menu choice specifically for that if I recall.

Good Luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa case pending, what can happen if ask for Turis Visa?
Some good advice here. Definitely do NOT take a flyer and apply for a tourist visa though. The K-1 is too important.

I would just add that multiple applications are recorded in the State Department computer system somewhere, and all consular officers have access to this data when reviewing applications. When the K-1 is reviewed, the CO can clearly see the codes corresponding to the reasons for denial. If the code is a "soft hit" for something like suspected fraud, the K-1 could also be denied. Coming to the US as a tourist when you intend shortly to immigrate might constitute suspected fraud. The CO that put the "hit" in the system must be the one to remove it. You won't necessarily be informed of any of this until the interview date, and if your SO is interviewing by herself she could have a VERY difficult time fixing things. I worked through this once myself - and even with knowing the Vice Consul personally and phoning him directly it took 24 hours to fix things.

Many, many cases never get a "touch" and it means nothing. 2-5 months seems to be the "norm" if you can call it that, to get an approval from the VSC, it seems to be slower since the latter half of 2008. It is very likely you will get no "touches" and hear nothing until you are approved, or get an RFE (hope not) but normally that is the first indication anyone is alive in the VSC. My case went very "fast" and it was almost exactly 6 months from filing until my fiancee arrived, 10 months from filing to the approval of our AOS. So be patient and start working on your packet 3 documents and get those ready to speed the process when it gets approved.


Agreed, although we all understand that doesn't make it easier.

That probably has to do with the country you applied from. For beneficiaries in Ukraine they definitely look for some further proof of a meeting I think. Nothing extreme, a picture like some of those in my signature will do. We included about ten in the application and had no trouble. We also included itineraries and stubs, but were told here on VJ repeatedly that those are not really proof of the meeting.

wow this thread went from simple to someone freaking out. smile.gif

to the OP...it only takes one time meeting to prove evidence of meeting. So once you have met her in person, just file away. smile.gif Your income with your mom as a co-sponsor is good enough. And you dont need an immigration lawyer. You can do the paperwork on your own...its easy as long as the directions are read with care. smile.gif You will be fine. good.gif

Good Luck to ya. luv.gif

And yes...going to the Latin America, Mexico & the Caribbean forum on VJ will help alot with questions you may have.


Sister Sinergy! Good to see you (figuratively biggrin.gif ). Please broadcast trance music links for those of us who have noticeably high BP.

Sinergy is the VJ trance beat queen.

Apeters. No chat logs need to be submitted when you send in the 129F. They will be very important though when the interview comes and she goes in to submit more papers and proof. It is more of a showing a continuing relationship. You need to save any correspondence between you two and especially from now. Most of my proof was the yahoo chat logs as it was able to have us camming at the same time we chat. Save everything and just place in folders.

Brad. May have to go see this RU forum.

one more thing, do u think it is necessary to have chat logs for just the first step of petitioning for the K1 visa? I dont have any logs of chat because it does not save it automatically. We have been talking for almost a year and we have emails from the very beginning, but no chats..this should not be a problem though right? For the interview part, I plan on saving some chats to bring for sure.


Not a problem. We had no logs, and the CO did not even ask for the stack of email we brought. They wanted a few pictures and financial information.
