Really? They will deny her a visa because of that. The things I read here on vj never cease to amaze me. I hate that for you guys. If that's the case Josh then I would withdraw your current petition and file a new one as you mentioned asap. It might be a good idea to hire a good immigration attorney as well if you still run into problems. Good luck buddy and I hope everything works out for you guys. Mike

Most, if not all, embassies require 125% for the I-134 that I have seen via posts here.

I am sure someone that went through your embassy will be by to confirm what level.


I think that 100% meets the requirement if you are active military.

Of course you are feeling sad - it is so natural. You are leaving your country and your family behind to travel many thousands of miles to be with the man you love. This is a major, major change in your life - and of course, you are feeling happy knowing that soon you will be with the man you love. The next few months you will find yourself going through these same emotions over and over again - it is very normal. Be strong, know that you are able to take this brave step and that you will always have your friends and family - even if they are far away - nothing will ever change that. You are creating a new life for yourself and these are its birth pains. And like with the birth of a baby, may these tears lead to more joy than sadness as you enter into your new life in the US. Good luck to you- and safe travel.

Very well put..Best wishes to you and your husband. This is the first day of a brand new chapter in your life that you have waited a long time for. Embrace it. Cherish every day. Your family will always be there for you. Good luck and God bless. Mike

Hey there. Most people here at VJ will be more than happy to help and assist you in any way they can. Just follow the K1 visa guide and flow chart located here. Make sure to check, double check then check everything again before you send your 129 off and if you have any questions during the process just ask.

I wouldn't say you're out of "normal" processing times yet, so it's not time to contact your representatives. Have you asked in the Philippines forum? They know more about their embassy over there.

On the 221g its says they are requesting all documents from the annulment including all trail papers. She went and got them the next day and had them sealed and signed by the courts and stapled her receipt. She hand delivered it to the USEM on the 17th.



Yea, i know i am not out of the "norm", but o'well i am going to try anyways. I dont think much harm can be done in trying. Some people may not like this idea but i am going to try to play the military card and the fact i am deployed in the Middle East to try to persuade my senators' and congressman to give me a hand. At desperate times, desperate people do desperate things.

Go for it. Play that card. As far as I'm concerned that's the least they can do for you. Good luck and we'll be pulling for you. Mike n Karen

Well, you have 2 senators and 1 congressman (or woman).
If any of them has a particular background or reputation for running successful interference with immigration cases, you might prefer to use that one. No one here can help you make that decision without knowing where you live.
If you tell us your state -- we can know who your 2 senators are.
And if you tell us your congressional district, we will know who your congressman is.

In any event, I don't see the harm in stating your case to all three, if you believe that your case legitimately deserves intervention.

Absolutely!!! I wouldn't hesitate one second in contacting all three. As a matter of fact I did. Trust me you can't confuse them any more than they already are. Good luck and I sincerely hope you get the help you deserve. Mike

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 visa assistance firms
I have to confess to being an attorney, but I 100% disagree. Hire a knowledgable immigration attorney. As soon as they provide any helpful service (i.e. advice on how to best fill in your form) the visa service is skating on the edge of violating the law (and maybe crossing it) by unlawfully engaging in the practice of law without a license. One has to question the ethics of someone who would do that. Once you question their ethics, you have to question the quality of service.

A good immigration attorney will be willing to review your forms (at the hourly rate) and will honestly tell you in a consultation whether she/he thinks you really need to retain them. I tell my clients all the time that I am not a cost effective solution to their small problems because I cost too much. You could even ask the attorney to review your documentation and inform them if you have any red flags.






Now there's a shocker..An attorney recommending you hire an attorney! LoL..No disrespect intended to brlukath. I have many friends that our attorneys that I would highly recommend..just not in this case.

I'm not trying to talk you out of using one of these services if it will give you peace of mind..No I take that back. Yes I am. Also remember that the price they quote you is just to start processing the paperwork. It's not a flat rate. I have seen that website and looked at many of them before I went thru this process and they try to make it sound much more difficult than it actually is. Yes you have to follow the instructions carefully..Yes you have to double and triple check everything before you process it but trust me from what you have described about your situation you don't need their services and as baron555 said you will still end up doing a large majority of the work yourself. Once again Good luck. Mike

While I do have empathy for your case, I have none for how you are handling it now.

You have a problem and come to the forums and ask suggestions. Everyone tells you that you did not adhere to the rules and are not going to get any type of waiver/pity acceptance/etc. from the adjudicator for your case; That you have to fly back to PI and meet again and then try K-1, or marry over there and do CR-1.

Just because you think it is unfair, it doesn't mean it will change. Please, do NOT wait around this thread waiting for someone to tell you, "Go ahead and try it". You asked our opinions and we gave them. Hoping/wishing for someone to come and tell you differently, is not going to change reality.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But all opinions are not equal. One based on facts, evidence, and adhering to plainly stated rules is superior to an opinion based on hopes, wishes, dreams. Waiting around for someone with your views to post here is just going to cost you time and money and the pain of being away from your loved one even longer.

Well said..It won't get any clearer than this.

OK, you asked. You had a previous relationship fail because you did not know about her anger management issues. Obviously one may conclude that you did not have a deep enough relationship for this to come out.

Now 3-4 months after the first (unless you were seeing the second while with the first) you want to marry again. How do you know you have a bonafide relationship with this woman? Is there a major issue with her that you haven't had the time to uncover? How long did you date the first?

My advice, take it easy tiger and relax for a year. Let the relationship develop. Like I said before, the small gap in time between the two will most likely be questioned at the interview, especially from her country.

Good Advice. I would urge you to consider what baron555 is telling you. Otherwise you may wind up right back where you started.

You can, but it may not qualify. Here are the asset guidelines from the I-864: Only assets that can be converted into cash within one year and without considerable hardship or financial loss to the owner may be included. The owner of the asset must include a description of the asset, proof of ownership, and the basis for the owner's claim of its net cash value.

I'm assuming you are an instructor if you don't work in the summer but are you not still paid an annual salary for the fiscal year or do you teach part time? Just curious as I work for a university too as a guidance counselor?

Send a letter of explanation/withdraw (brief explanation and include both your/your-fiancé's information) to the service center your petition is being processed along with a copy of the NOA1/I-797C. USCIS should respond with a confirmation letter.


Could you please verify the fact that I have to wait two years to apply for another fiancee visa?




You don't have to wait 2 years, but seriously.... come on... do you honestly think you should be worrying about Visa No. 2 when your Visa No.1 relationship only just ended?

The chances of falling in love with someone from a different country is small enough to begin with and you're expecting it to happen again... within 2 years. I don't know about anyone else but if I squint and look hard enough I can see a big red flag flying in front of me

Oh and generally how long is it from this point until shes here in my arms? 2 months?

No need to make an apointment for the medical. She can do that anytime before the interview after you receive the case number. After she has her interview and receives her visa she will attend the CFO seminar..no big deal but she has to attend. 2 months? She may be. Depends on how soon they can schedule her interview. As long as everything is in order and they don't ask for additional documentation 2 months isn't out of the question. Could be sooner. Good luck.

Ours actually got there in 4 days. I would start calling the embassy after a week to check.

Baby gets the medical and interview with you also.

You'll have to fill out separate DS 156 and DS 157 and pay for it naman.
