K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visitor visa holder and US citizen plan to get married at church in US. Please help...	nope, not fraud. As long as you plan on leaving and are not 'legally' married you can go back home and your fiance can petition you for a K1. you will want to check with others who have ventured through the same Consulate so you know what to expect there. Just a word of added advice, most wouuld advise not to send 'wedding photos' as supporting evidence for a bonafide relationship as you go through the process. Ohters have suffered much grief for doing so.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-09-22 11:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visitor visa holder and US citizen plan to get married at church in US. Please help...	http://www.visajourn...mp;page=compare As suggested above, marrying on a visitor's visa is perfectly legal... as long as you did not have these plans when you came into the U.S.. You can not enter the US with the intention of marrying and it is up to you to prove this to the officer at AOS. If you did not come with the intention of marrying then you can just get married and adjust status. If you want to marry in the church and file for K1 afterwards you will need to be certain the ceremony is not legally binding.... I think in most places it probably is. Check with the laws of the State you are wanting to have your ceremony in. If you want to be married here now and have planned this out then you can certainly marry legally and then return to your home Country to await a spousal visa. good luck	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-09-22 10:51:00

QUOTE (Lancep @ Jul 28 2008, 05:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm a very experienced attorney (25+ years) who used a non-attorney service ($465) for my fiancee's K-1 just for the comfort level of having someone with direct experience make the submission. They were helpful in responding to a number of my e-mails, but I'm sure they didn't spend more than a couple of hours on this project. They did nothing that I couldn't have easily done myself. When we hit snags in the process, I had to handle them myself -- and I know that I was a lot more persistent and thorough than any law firm would have been or could afford to be. If you are of average intelligence, you can easily do this yourself. And as one of the other posters said, you are going to end up doing most of it yourself even if you use a law firm. There is no way that this process is so complicated or legally intensive as to warrant spending $2K or more on an attorney. Nor is there anything an attorney can do for you that is going to give you an advantage over other filers. I had a similar experience filing radiation "downwinders" claims with the Department of Justice (the program that pays $50K to $100K if you have cancer and lived downwind of nuclear testing in the 1950s and 60s). There are numerous law firms that charge $5K to $10K for handling these things, and you still have to do 75% of the work yourself. I handled two of them for relatives with no problems in a couple of hours, which makes $5K to $10K seem pretty silly. This is exactly my point and thank you for sharing your views with us. I know that i'm an intelligent woman but when I first stared looking into the process of getting my love back into the Country it was all just so overwhelming and because he had been denied entry, I was stressed enough! Thank goodness VJ was the first place I found when I started looking for more info! The thought to hire a lawyer makes perfect sense initially because it all just looks so confusing and it's so very important to get right.... but once you start searching and reach out for resources such as VJ and all the knowledgeable people here, you soon learn that most of what must be done has to come from you anyway. And even if you do hire a lawyer... you have to make sure they get it right because they are not emotionally invested and not all of them understand the entire process. It's like having a doctor... you still need to take care of your own health and what they say isn't always the way it is. Now, in saying that, there are certainly people who probably should hire a lawyer for some guidance.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-07-28 16:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa / Attorneys	People are complaining about the lawyers here because they have caused their case more harm than good....eg; not filling in the forms correctly, not including critical documents...etc... it's not just because they want people to save a few dollars. It's good that some peole had a good experience but the truth is here at VJ we tend to see a lot more harm than good. All of the documents that a lawyer needs and all of the information they need comes from you anyway... all they really are doing is spell checking. The example forms, GUIDES and vetran members here at VJ are much more invaluable IMO. Casandra, no lawyer will be able to help you at POE. It is at the officer's discretion to let you in or not and their decision is final. As long as you bring ties to your own Country, are in your own Country more than you are in the US (see our timeline ), stay honest and dont have anything that would make them suspicious of your intent you 'should' be fine. good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Attorney vs. filing yourself	As much as I do agree with much of what's been said above and think that any reasonably intelligent person can do this on their own, I also think it's important to note that there are certain people who really should seek the assistance of a qualified immigration attorney. Not every case is the same and some people will face roadblocks and waiver issues that many of us do not have to deal with. That being said, it's just as important to educate yourself to the process and research your attorney and their track record to know for certain that they are qualified to do what they say they are going to do.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	High Fraud consulates or embassy or country	Lousy thread? There was a question asked. There has only been one rude comment / violation of TOS in this thread and it was handled. The rest of the posts have been intelligent and well thought out discussion that most certainly will benefit others. "The MOD" is thinking this is a very important discussion and very much part of the K-1 immigration process that not enough people know about. Even if your SO is not from what we consider a high fraud Country it is still important to understand the process and why it can and does differ in some locations.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	High Fraud consulates or embassy or country	There are security and name checks done at virtually every step of the K-1 process on both the petitioner and the beneficiary. Any one of which can hold you up for any length of time. Threat of terrorist acts and name checks are a big one for middle eastern Countries but i'm sure they effect other Countries and individuals as well. Criminal past is a whole other ball game. We were held up for 3 weeks when we were transitioning through NVC. No criminal history for either of us at all, no common name.. just held up. We may never know why. Although most do get through without too much of an issue, you would be wise not to make any concrete plans until that Visa is in hand and she's crossed the border.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	High Fraud consulates or embassy or country	I'm not sure if there's a 'list' anywhere it's basically just common knowledge for folks who have been here for some time. For most of us the process is successful and without much drama ...excluding the time apart. In places like China and Vietnam there is a higher level of immigration fraud therefore the visa application process and interview is often very difficult. In the Middle Eastern Countries, one is often put into AP (administrative processing and security checks) for long periods of time before a visa is issued. If you visit your 'PORTALS' page, Embassy Info/Review link and/or Regional forums here on VJ you can learn by reading other's posts and reviews of that Embassy. It's important for the process in general to understand what you are up against before hand and prepare as best you can....but it's even more important when you're dealing with a higher-fraud post.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K-1 Sent Off and I have a Question.	I think we all probably felt this initially as the packet was sent. Even though we went over it a hundred times... panic sets in once it's out of our hands. It seems you sent everything needed. I'm sure what you're feeling is pretty normal. The only other reason i've seen Vermont send the entire petition back is the wrong amount on the check and if the check address does not match the petitioner's address (like you used checks with an old address). That doesn't seem to happen with CSC though. Good luck and much patience to you! I hope the process speeds up for you.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-07-11 09:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	QUOTE (chibihorsewoman @ Apr 25 2009, 12:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey I'm new to the site. My fiance is Canadian and in college right now and I'm an American citizen. He's heard some things from his mom's friend who used to live in the states before moving back up to Canada. But I'm still confused for most part on the forms and the whole deal with him not being able to even visit Canada for a year (I live in a boarder state at the most 1.5hrs from the Canadian boarder) what exactly are the rules and regulations to everything? This flo chart will give you a general idea on how the process works. Once you petition your Canadian fiance he can still visit but will likely need to bring ties to prove he will be going back to Canada. You will want to visit the Canadian regional forums here on VJ to learn from other CAN/US couples. Because the K-1 is a one time entrance visa, after he is here on his K-1 visa he will need to marry you within 90 days and then wait for AP (filed with AOS after marriage) before travelling outside of the US again. The problem is that he will not have a valid visa to return to the US without AP or green card. It's a matter of months at best.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2009-05-25 11:56:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	What did they ask for? Initial evidence of having met in person within the last two years would be something like passport stamps, boarding passes, itinerary... and photos (although they are secondary). Perhaps they need more proof from you. Further evidence might be something more they need from you to either prove you are both 'free to marry' or maybe something like a divorce decree proving legal name change for a woman.... It's important to send exactly what they're asking for in the RFE. good luck	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2009-03-05 11:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	An RFE is issued at the USCIS stage of the petition. They are requesting more evidence to help them to decide on your petition. If you're close to interview that means your petition has already been approved. Applying for the visa is an entirely different process. More evidence of an ongoing relationship helps support a bona-fide relationship so yes, do send her in with documentation of that. If they request something more of you then your approval will be left pending until you give them what they need. Please familiarize yourself with the GUIDES and FAQ in the links above. You will also want to check out the Embassy info / reviews link to familiarize yourself with the process in Seoul and what might be required that you don't know about.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	Hi Wes & Amy, If you're creating a new form that must be signed, IMO you should put the date when you sign it. Letter of Intent does not need to be notorized. Whether or not to send proof of ongoing relationship is dependent very much on the Embassy you will be dealing with. I don't think it's as important in Manilla and it's certainly not needed or required by the uscis BUT it is often recommended that when you are dealing with a high fraud post that one send along some additional evidence of an ongoing relationship to perhaps help answer any questions or doubt a CO may have before the beneficiary is actually interviewed. In other words, in some places, it's often best to send some along with the initial petition. Therefore any red flag issues can hopefully be addressed before hand. It's entirely up to you... NZ is not a high fraud post at all but we did send along some supporting evidence initially. good luck!	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-12-31 10:50:00

After 8 touches when I thought today was the day I was getting my NOA2, I got an RFE instead. Today I got the email notice for it, so should be receiving it in a few days. I think I may know what it is for after reviewing this wonderful thread. It might be for Part C #2, where you have to answer "yes" or ''no". The thing is that I hired an attorney for the paperwork, and when I sent in my I-129F in August 2008, the form I used was this one: Form I-129F revised 11/24/06, and now, when I look at the USCIS website, the form is UPDATED as: revised 07/30/07 and the one prior to that (11/24/06) does not contain a section for the "yes" or "no" in part C #2, the newer updated 07/30/07 one contains this part to answer "yes" or "no". Other than this reason for the RFE I cannot think of anything else, especially after extensive research here on VJ, nothing else comes to mind...so I will post back once I get the postal mail notice and hopefully I will be able to send back to CSC whatever they requested the day after, if not the same day, I was really hoping for my NOA2, and this RFE was a rude surprise! Anyone else get an RFE for the reason I mention above? Please share! Thanks! -MARM Hi Marm, sorry you didn't get the news you wanted just yet. Even more sorry that it was someone else's actions that may have caused this delay. My guess would be that you need the updated I-129f with the appropriate questions but it's so hard to say until you get the notice from them. Do let us know if this is the case. In the meantime at least you can prepare this form and have it ready to go right out..then hopefully it wont be too long for you from there! good luck!

If we get an RFE what would we have to do??? Yeah, ticked the box that said NO. If you get an RFE you will simply need to tick the box and send it back to the USCIS asap. Mark the outside of the envelope REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE I-129f.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-12-01 12:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	Use this link to find out where you were suppose to file. Unfortunately, this process will teach you that even when you are asking the right people... you will want to double, then triple check the answers you receive. good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	It can be anything... and every adjuticator is different so it's hard to say if someone will get an rfe based on someone else's petition. One of the most common (and I think ridiculous) i've seen is for Q2 in part C of the I-129f. It seems folks don't realize that the question needs to be answered as they believe it relates to the military question above. It's a simple tick of a box that is often left un-ticked. Silly...and you would think they'd fix it. All you can do is have the documents you are concerned about ready to go just in case.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-11-26 11:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	The RFE Master List	QUOTE (amberL @ Nov 21 2008, 04:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sigh.. its really re-assuring to hear people say im stressing out over little errors... I just really dont understand the last line "If you were going through a higher fraud post it might be more fuel for the fire at the Embassy stage of the process." Umm what does this mean? I dont think an innocent typo is fraud since i sent in my boarding passes with the correct dates... I'm sorry. I should have been more clear... Some USEMs are much more strict than others because there is a high rate of visa fraud from those Countries. In places such as Vietnam, China..the middle east..etc. there is often much more scrutiny involved at the interview stage of this process. Anything you do in error can, and usually is, used against the couple. So, something like an innocent typo or mistake is usually not a problem for the majority of us... if you are going through a higher fraud Consulate/Country... they are more likely to hold things like this against you. What i'm telling you is that you are not likely to have a problem. The process is pretty stressful but you'll get through it.

Oh, that's awful. I'm sorry...hopefully they'll push it right through for you now.	KimandRuss	Female	New Zealand	2008-11-24 12:38:00

They keep all of their answers real and seem so humble. Thanks for helping me including everyone on this site. [applauds] I hope everything is working out for u guys Cindy Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Everything is wonderful! QUOTE (Zoe and Hal @ Nov 21 2008, 05:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They wanted further proof that we've met... We bascially resent everything again, took up an entire 45 page document, i'm hoping it's enough for them this time! Did you send them anything further? They need concrete evidence that you have been together in person within the last two years... things like passport stamps, boarding passes..etc. Photos and things of that nature are merely secondary evidence.
