K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 VISA
You need to apply for AP with your AOS and hope that the AP is approved in time for your September trip....

if you leave without having received your AP you will be considered to have abandoned your AOS...

Good luck with your wedding plans

As long as you have your passport and your AP and the approval was when you were out of the country the officer at POE should not have a problem as you will show up as approved on their system...

Have a good trip

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE that gives Temp EAD stamp
The stamp they give at JFK is only valid for 90 days... as you have to wait about 2 weeks to apply for SSN and that takes about 5 - 10 days to come it does not leave long to work before the 90 days runs out... you will have to stop working when the 90 days are up and wait until you have your EAD that you apply for at the same time as AOS.. most people are having to wait 90 days+ from receipt of NOA to get this..

Just wanted to let you know that if you take a job on the temp EAD you may well have to give it up within a short time...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVISA DENY?

1.- You can apply for an extension of your 129F (another 4 mos) and make the process again for the K1..
--- I attach example letter for this extension ----
2. or marry and apply for k3 visa.
3. or go to US as a visitor , get married and apply for the AOS


To advise someone to go to the US as a visitor and get married and file for AOS is wrong... if you enter as a visitor with intent to remain that is visa fraud... and you can not file for AOS....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes everything REALLY have to be in ENLISH??

Does this REALLY have to be translated?? Why does that make sense? If it is a U.S. consulate in Paris, France, they should be able to read the words Date of Birth in freaking French!!!!!!!!!! This is annoying and frustrating !



Well the forms themselves are mostly in french. Telling me to "get a grip" was a bit out of line, this is a place to ask questions and I believe it is a valid one.



You were the one complaining that everything had to be translated in to english and that they should be able to read French.... We were just pointing out that as you are dealing with a US (english speaking) Consulate then yes you would need to get it translated

Well we will not argue about who is right and who is wrong... the way I read it JayJay was asked why she stayed longer... JayJay then said that she had no intentions apon entry... she was not asked that question, she was only asked why she stayed longer....

so we will have to agree to disagree...

I hope the OP is not put off filing for AOS as they have no reason to be denied....

Yes I read JayJay's interview and yes she was asked about why she came to US but other than her answer she did not have to show any proof or supply evidence and she was not denied...

I was asked if I came on vaction but at know time was I asked about my intentions at time of entry or was I asked to prove it......

in the year that I have been reading this board and from talking to people who have done AOS from VWP/Tourist/Canadian entry I have never known anyone be asked about their intention on entry let alone be denied...

You only give up your right to appeal is you enter on a VWP not on a Tourist/canadian entry....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarriage on a tourist visa
How can you say its spur of the moment if you have already thought about and posted your toughts here????

Supr of the moment means just that... up to that point in time you had never thought about getting married.... never asked each other about marriage... not posted on a marriage based forum about how it would work.....

Sounds very much like you should spend your time looking into K1 or K3 visas....

I came here and yes I got married on the spur of the moment... my husband was just a friend of my family nothing more... we had know eachother for many years but never in any other way but friends... I came to recover from major surgery staying with his parents... we then fell in love...

Doing AOS from within the states on a VWP/Tourist visa is not what I would recommend to anyone.... I could not leave the country until I had a greencard (even in an emergancy) or I would be refused re-entry... We had no way of knowing if we would be approved at AOS interview and because I came on VWP we had no right of appeal if we were denied....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmarriage on a tourist visa
You can not enter on a tourist visa with the intention of doing AOS.... nothing to stop you getting married and returning to UK then file for K3 visa.....

Only way you can do AOS from a tourist visa is if you entered the US and then on the spur of the moment got married... but as you are already planning your wedding that would not be the case.... and of course if you did get married on the spur of the moment you would have to have evidence that you did not intend to remain in US when you entered....

It is lawyers like that, that make it hard for those of us who did not have intent to marry when we entered on VWP/Tourist visa..... if you know you intend to do that how could you be honest when/if asked about it at your AOS interview.... what starts out as 1 lie always ends up with you living a lie....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswe cancelled
Sorry to hear you canceled your K1... as far as him visiting the States... there is no guarentee of his entry it is up to the officer at POE... all he can do is make sure he has as much evidence to show ties to France and hope that they allow him entry....

One thing you may want to consider is taking a flight via Dublin... as Dublin has its own POE and if he was denied it would only be a short flight back to France....

The fact that you have canceled your K1 will have no effect if you later re-file and then do AOS.... you may be asked why you cancelled but it will not causse you problems.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed to help a friend...
They may well question why she is returning so soon and if she cant show strong ties to the UK... is lease on a apartment, letter from employer stating she has to return by a set date... she may well get denied entry...

The VWP was intended to be used as a way to get round having a visa... it was intended for tourists to allow them easy entry for short vacations....

Hope this helps

Her K1 expiry date has nothing to do with it.... once the K1 has been used to enter the country it is finished with.... the date she need to worry about is the date on the I-94...

She should leave before that date or she will accrue overstay time as she did not complete the K1 by getting married within 90 days of arrival...

There is nothing that she need to do other than leave the country....
