K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP - I need to change my fiancee visa to spuse visa

not to reveal anything to the consulate because if you do your entire process will be denied and you would be placed on administrative review,

Like the military says, don't ask, don't tell, keep it your little secret! Best advice!


What on earth are you talking about?

The consulate knows about the K1 application now and they will know about it when they interview for their spousal visa. NEVER lie to immigration. If you lie, the result is a charge of misrepresentation. That requires a waiver. If the waiver is denied there is NO VISA EVER.

And by the way, read the Terms of Service for Visa Journey:

you will not: Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration

:dead:

(Could we get an emoticon for WORST ADVICE EVER?)


First off, if you read my message carefully, I didn't tell him to lie, it simply tells him if they don't ask about it don't mention it, my ex military buddy is a adjudicator at CSC, plus that same scenerio happen to my family member, I would never misdirect anyone, if they ask then you tell them, please consult your brain before you open your illiterate mouth!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHELP - I need to change my fiancee visa to spuse visa

I applied for a visa for my fiancee in December 2006 with I29F. We have received an interview date for June 18 at the the U.S. embassy in Manila.

However, we were married in the Philippines on April 28, 2007. I would like to change this application from a FIANCEE visa to a SPOUSE visa.

Can anyone tell me what I have to do. Thanks in advance.

Jim K.


I have some good news and bad news, good news is congrats on getting married, bad news is "What were you thinking, its at the best interest of your wife and yourself not to reveal anything to the consulate because if you do your entire process will be denied and you would be placed on administrative review, which can take a while to fix, they are going to look at you as if you were trying to cheat the system. My father did the same thing back in 1997 and he had to wait almost three years to fix up his mess with the act of congress on his side, and I don't think you want to endure that horrible process, its probably a little faster now but not by much. Like the military says, don't ask, don't tell, keep it your little secret! Best advice!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice regarding I-134 Affidavit of Support
I'm getting ready to send my girl all the documents she needs for her interview this week through DHL because of the time it takes for her to receive it (14 days), because of her location.
I recently called the Immigration Unit in Manila concerning the affidavit of support the lady that answered my call explained to me that the USE in Manila does not accept co-sponsors on the K-1 visa but accepts on the K-3 visa. I didn't file my 2004 and 2005 tax returns but I did file my 2006, the reason why I didn't file my 2004 and 2005 because I was still being claimed by my father as a full-time college student. The lady at the embassy informed me that I could go ahead and submit a co-sponsor but its at the discretion of the CO thats doing the interview. Then she also stated that I only needed my most recent tax return which is my 2006 1040EZ. In 2006, I met the criteria exceeding the 125% povert level, and my brother, which is a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy, makes over 75k a year.

Here is a list of everything that I have gathered so far for the I-134:

1. My I-134 Affidavit of Support (Notarized)
2. My brother I-134 Affidavit of Support (Notarized)
3. A signed employment letter with company letterhead from my director
4. My six earning statements for this year
5. My Bank statements starting back from 2005

Is this sufficient enough? :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about former marriages, etc.

Hello,

I have a couple questions for you guys about former marriages.Ok, so my fiancee is from Thailand and when she was 18 her family pressured her into marrying. They never registered it with the government and she never changed her name. She also had a daughter out of this. The husband and her finished after 3 months and he moved to Malaysia and he died there. They do not have death certificates because they were sent to his fanmily becuse she was never "legally married" because they never registered it with the govt.
On some forms for the K-1 Visa it asks if your fiancee is SINGLE, divorced, or widowed. Do you think I should say she is single, or widowed? Remember, she never registered it, so the government never knew she was married. What should she say about the child? If they ask?
Thanks a lot guys!



Is there anyway that you can contact his family?
