Sorry VJ users, but this is a repeat of a recent question that I submitted on this site just a couple of days ago and cannot find the post now, it just disappeared! My question to all my friends is, I have had two divorces, and with the 129F submitted in June (Yes our time for a NOA 2 is close) I sent copies of the divorce decree's., will this pass the VSC officer? As my fiance who is in the Philippines has the orginals, to take to the interview.,.,.,God hoping we get that far! Also, is it just me, or does VSC seem to have "shifted" to a faster gear.,.,as things seem to be getting approved much quicker, maybe wishful thinking, or actual!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExperienced, VJers, comments, thoughts sought!!!!
I guess we all have a few things we are not pround of in our lifetime. I will relate! Filed K 1 for my fiance from the Philippines, NOA 1 June 28th, so is getting close to "our time"
More than 25 years ago, I made a dumb, studid thing, as I worked for the Fed. Govt. and accepted a gratuity as a govt. employee, I admitted to the offense, paid a fine, no jail time was involved due to the amount, but the "criminal history" page of the 129F drives me crazy! I have read it 1000 times, and the crime I plead guilty to "fraud" is not listed anywhere in the 3 parts of the criminal history. I have took all my information to two different attorneys, and both told me I would "not be telling the truth" if I answered, "YES".,., as this was a white collar crime, no violence what so ever, and you cannot find a speeding ticket aganist me in the last 25 years. And the word "fraud" or anything close to it appears, no where!
But, there some very smart, people on this site, this is the second "post" I have made about this, and hope I get more than one responce, which was just a question, your thoughts, PLEASE!!!

Hello fellow VJ members, I have been very reluctant to ask this question of my firends, but our 129F is probably coming within two weeks. (Noa1 June 28) more than 25 years ago, I made a dumb silly mistake and was charged with fraud, (accepting of a gratuity by govt. employee) no-violent crime, white collar!
I have had two attorneys go over the 129f, and also the Visa Company helping us with the K1, and all agree that the 129F does not mention the word "fraud" anywhere in the questions, so I answered "NO" to all the criminal history questions, actually I just read the application that pertains to this again, and if I answered YES I would be not telling the truth! Any thoughts, would certainally be appreciated, as my two letters from both attorneys reflect a "spotless" record for the past 25 years, being charged with absolutely, nothing! Your thoughts, appreciated!

I am sorry, I did not make myself clear! The 129F application sent to VSC, was all copies, "MY FIANCE" has the 3 ring binder, in her posession, and all orginal documents for the "INTERVIEW", my question is how many other people will want to see the 3 ring binder with all the orginal copies in it? What about NVC, and Seminar, will they want similar documents as the orginals we have for "THE INTERVIEW"???????

what were the questions that were asked from you and how did you answer them? or are your documents complete?






I think my documents are complete. I answered all of his questions correctly. But i messed up on his last two questions, what is your fiances phone number? And what is happening in south carolina? Im just really not good in memorizing numbers thats why i told him honestly that no sir. and the last question whats happening in south carolina? Like what is the news there? I told him that hes not telling me any news sir. Then he asked again, thats the time i got really nervius and cant answer no more

it depends on the every case, may be they want to check ur relation, its not AP, but they want to make sure about ur relation that its genuine.
 
BEST OF LUCK.

Me and my wife used the K-1 process, please, VJ"ers, all should pursue this avenue of immigration, IF possible, a I-130 is so un-predictable, you just never know, yes, some sacrifices have to be made toward each others family regards, BUT, the K-1 IF possible is the way to go, even though it took our's
10 months and 4 days, (Sputum Farce).,.,., but we are happily married now.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproval notice has arrived. To God be the glory!

Yes, God is a gracious God, without doubt.  HE rewards our prayers, I have no doubt.  To me, you are through the very hard part, but "pitfalls" loom ahead, and just pray you do not fall into any of them, I will give you some of the things me and my wife from Cebu had to overcome, just to give you a "heads up" on what to look for.

-  Yes, you need that passport ASAP.

-  It will vary on how long it takes NVC to get your case, but start calling next week, to get your MNL number

- When you get that number the next thing you want is your ""hard copy"" which is required to schedule the interview.

- Medical is first come first serve at St/ Luke's, (my wife was in line at 2:00 a.m.)

- Hope and pray to God you do not fall into the "Sputum Fiasco"" in which they will delay you nearly 3 months, because ""THEY, DOCTORS"" do not like your chest x-ray, at least for my wife, it happened, and we had already had a chest x-ray from an independent clinic.,.,.,before she went to St. Luke's..,..,

NO reason at all.

- The CFO, at least for us was not 4 hours, but almost 9 and 1/2 hours, and she went to the CFO in Cebu, and was in line at 3:00 a.m., as they only take the first 20-30 in line for CFO.  They will install  CFO in your passport.

- The CFO DOES NOT take copies of anything, such as NSO birth certificates, baptismal etc.,,,must be originals.

 

I am sure I missed a few things, but the experts here(not me) can give you the info. you need.  I am just trying to give you an idea of what to expect.

 

Our NOA 2 was Dec. 31, (yes New Years Eve) and her POE was not until April 24, I hope you keep you hopes high, try not to make any mistakes, do you research, and be prepared for the un-expected, but by God's will within a few weeks, to maybe a month or 2 you will arrive where you want to go, God be with you and your loved one!
