Um, you say he had no choice but to view her....heh...

Did the little "x" button at the top of the window suddenly dissapear or what? To be perfectly honest, I'm not surprised your sister almost broke up with her fiancee over this because if the chat ever got as far as asking for money, his goggly eyes were obviously on her for a while. Not cool.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance completely clueless???
Hahahaah :D :D *grinz* - this thread is a PEACH! :P

Ben got this look of extreme fear in his eyes whenever I mentioned the words "Green Card" or "Adjustment of Status Interview" *laughs* - so I took care of it, and informed him slowly and gently of what was happening, so that he could feel less afraid and "ok". He really equated the whole process with the sentence "yes, but she could get denied!!!" :hehe:

He took care of other things and let me do my scrapbooking and stuff. I honestly think dealing with the government scared the living ####### out of him 'til the end - he was really feeling the pressure in the waiting room!

But he's good at other things: electrical things, building things, math, organising the business etc - then there are things that are my role, ya know? :thumbs: (F)

Agree with everything said above - but somethign acidic as well as water I've heard can "clean out" the system - try LOTS fo cranberry juice for example (as opposed to Lemon juice...eeeekgg...*makes lemony face*)

Also tell him "hey honey - you know when you quit weed, your energy levels and general outlook on life go up SO much, you probably won't want to do it again anyway" :) 'Tis true, that, if he does smoke regularly. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIn a twiddle! Need help and advice.
OK - so here's the low down, the nitty gritty, the "thing" you need to know about :)

You're here. You now want to marry You don't want to go back.

If you did NOT intend to do this when you entered (and boy, did they get enough of a chance to interrogate you when you came!), you are good to go. Even IF you came with the intent to get married and stay, you could go this route - not many border-crossers with intent REALLY get to your stage though, 'specially not if they've had the wits interrogated out of them, like you (and in fact, I, as well).

So cease the panicking. I too, kind Sir, am a fellow Brit and visa-waiver adjuster. Two nice, well known ladies ont his board are also VWP adjustees and have been granted their green cards no problemo, as, like you and I, they also had no intent upon entry and the marriage came afterwards.

Don't feel bad either, for wanting this now - you know, life changes, you have decided to get married, and staying and adjusting status is not only LEGAL, there are GUIDELINES for it set out by USCIS! Amazing huh? Wouldn't think it..would ya ;) *winx*

You're alright - for goodness sakes, don't go channel-hopping now, when there's no need to. If you want to stay, you can indeed stay. And remember, a lot of nay-saying is done by those who don't know anyone at all who's ever been this route, and therefore know nobody who's been denied because of it. Coming in with intent is fraudulent -- however, coming without, is not. Adjusting and staying is not either, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. Ask any person here who is worried that you "might get denied" because of the visa waiver entry to name two people they know of, and know the real story about, who've actually been denied, simply because they've adjusted status in the USA...I don't think they'll be able to...

There have to be very BAD reasons why they deny you if, all you've done is come in on the VWP and then decide to get married. For example you could be a major crim in the UK - they might deny you then! Perhaps you're a bad boy who likes getting into trouble over here - heck, they might deny you then as well! But relax if you're not.

Here's what you need (from what I can remember - this was last year, for us!):

  • An I130 petition (your fiancee, then wife will fill this out)
  • G325a forms (these come in groups of four, and need to be enclosed with the I130 and also, for you, your I485 - you'll be guided by the instructions :) )
  • A medical - these can be pricey, but that's the I693, and your USCIS authorised doc will fill that out.
  • A work authorization - you'll probably want that - that's the I765.
  • An I485 form (you fill this out - it's your application to adjust, so you petition for yourself, as it were).
  • Photographs (passport size, front facing) for the forms that need it (you'll see in the instrctions)
  • A sponsor - this will be your wife, if she's working sufficiently - if not, you'll need a co-sponsor, and this can be anyone) - that's your I864.
  • Photocopies of any evidence they need, including evidence of lawful entry - your expired or unexpired I94 (green slip, front and back) in your passport and photocopies of the picture page of your passport)
  • A photocopy of your birth certificate, your marriage certificate, your wife's birth certificate and any co-sponsor's birth certificate. The "real ones" can wait until the interview - ours have.
Obviosuly there's slightly more stuff to include than that - some peeps include a LOT of evidence as well, but with us, we waited until the interview (next week!). Completely up to you. Just make sure you ask a lot of questions about things you're not sure of, follow the instructions carefully and holler if you need help :)

You will be FINE! Freak me sideways - if I never have to see those immigration officials at the airport again, I'll be blardy happy, 'cus they were so mean to me that they made me cry - and I didn't have a thing to hide! Beh - we actually put in an official complaint about them, as we called their superior, and he said their behaviour had been unproffessional, illegal, and had to apologise! :o

Anyway I will go eat dinner now - feel free to PM me with q's,adn I'm sure the other VWP peeps will be along shortly :)

There are a GREAT bunch of people here at VJ - they ALL are so supportive, so DO stick around, whatever you do! :) (F) (F) Here are some links to get you started:

Edited to say: I am only going to encourage you to do as I, and many others have done. Because quite honestly as far as I'm concerne,d this website is here to give advice, and if I can give it, I will do. After all, you don't see many straightforward K-1 people sitting down with a lawyer, having come here. I realise I may get talked down upon or slated for giving this advice, but by gum, my man, I'm gonna give it! And then, if I get chucked out on my ear, sternly, by three immigration officials next week, they can say "I told ya so!" :D (oops, I might get trodden on for that last comment as well! *giggles and runs away* :P )

Oooh no not to worry abot any of that :)

DUI's fall under three categories, depending on the severity of the offence, the amount of alcohol found in her system at the time of arrest and whether it's the first, second, third or 56th time (heh...let's hope nobody gets to that stage!) they've been arrested for it. Other factors come into play as well, such as refusing to take a breathalyser, being "silly" with the p'liceman etc etc.

Basically what you're left with are three levels of crime: misdemenour; gross misdemenour and felony. It's the felonies you really need to worry about - and if her third one was over ten years ago, I expect she's been charged with a gross misdemenour - am I right? Had it been less than ten years ago (the laws for that changed in 2001, but all subseqent arrests were still counted back ten years - bit of a bummer if you'd had one in '96 and had been expecting it to be gone!) it may well have resulted in a felonious charge, which would go on a criminal record permanently and would be much more "bad", if you see what I mean. It probably would also have meant she would have been classified as a habitual alcoholically impaired driver. I think she may have jumped over that one - and that's a good thing, because if she's now getting help, this might never have to happen again.

I am surprised actually, that a DUI would fall into IMBRA at all - unless it were a felony. I would definately ask her lawyer as well, only because of the differing natures of certain DUI's and how and why they enter someone's criminal record.

You and I are learning this together though, buddy - since I had to get clued up about it because of my husband! Just think, if we were back in England, and tried to get into our cars as a matter of course after a night of heavy drinking, our friends would look at us as though we were aliens and ask us what the h$ll we thought we were doing. Funny that in so many cases over here, everyone simply does get into their SUV's and cars at 1am and just...drive off. I mean honestly, back in Blighty the cops would just pull everyone over on probable cause (they'd find some way to do it, i'm sure...), breathalyse them and it would be game over. I live in a town where the cops don't pull you over even if you stagger out of the bar, puke on the pavement, pee against your friend's leg thinking he's a wall, then get into your car... Funny culture sometimes, I think.,

Anyway enough waffling - let us know what happens with all of this - and have a great weekend! :)

P.S. Good point meaxuna - I dunno - I just see the "B" there and assume Business - my bad! I was told once that it's a lot harder to get a B visa if you have the option of going on the VWP - I think I might have gone on a B visa as well if I hadn't been told that, just to stay longer. Ah well - it's all water under the bridge now, with my hubby, dog, house and four cats, I can say I am here to stay *grins* :) (F)

And having just seen your post, I would suggest you have a talk with the mother. While it is a good thing to not ignore her, it is also rather important that you don't kick off this marriage on someone else's advice..or not advice, if you see what I mean.

Go follow your own heart. Mom might not go as nuts as you think, and after all, as you said, her daughter IS 34. Keep the lines of communication open but please, whatever you do - remember that your marriage is two in a bed, not three in a bed! Neither of you are 12 and if you're considering marriage, you are grown up enough to decide when that shoudl be. I'd personally be respectful to Mom, take into account what she is saying but definately follow your own instincts on this one. Choosing to be apart at a time like this could be an interesting choice in heindsight, if you see what I mean...

What does your future wife think?
JayJayFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-04-12 20:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I marry immediately in the US, or is the K1 correct way?
Okay I suppose I can tell you how mine went - it might not go EXACTLY the same way for you, but here goes:

I arrived in may of 2005 and he proposed in June...then, we decided to get married and did it on a week's notice on the 16th of August! (Hurrah!) Anyway, we called USCIS etc and were told it was okay to apply for a PR card from here - so then we had to wait for a medical date, as the lady on the 'phone told us it would be best to wait and get all the paperwork together at once to avoid any RFE's. We did this, which emant I was out of status for about 30 days or so before the medical - which was fine, as far as USCIS were concerned - they were more worried about me hitting the six month mark.

I had my medical, which was an ABSOLUTE RIP OFF! Ha - seriously - a rip off. Had some dude from the Mankato Clinic here in mankato look down my throat, listen to my heartbeat (which the nurse had already done...) and then shoot me full of vaccinations and give me a heef test. Very pleasant, and the vast amount of intraveinous cr@p floating around in my body afterward made me feel rather ill for the remainder of the day... The charged through teh nose for it (typical, as it happens as these places are unregulated by the USCIS) - $585!!! Luckily for you, that's a staggering amount for a simple Immigration medical and I've never heard of anyone else being charged that much. I'm still paying my MIL back to this day...poor woman!

So we got our paperwork together. I obtained my birth certificate and one for Ben from Germany, where he was born, and we gathered evidence of his ability to sponsor me, along with a co-sponser - his Mom. We actually got the fees for the whole of the paperwork waived, as we were too poor at the time to afford to pay them - to do this, you have to have genuine hardship and submit evidence along with a cover letter (preferably from both of you) as to why the fees would be impossible to pay. We were blessed - our fees were waived. And so we went on.

The paperwork was sent off to Chicago at the end of September 2005, and I had my NOA1 by October 4th. My biometrics appointment was on December 12th in Minneapolis, and it took ten minutes - in and out. Very simple, and I even met someone from VisaJourney there! I had my work permit in hand by December 27th and a SS number by the beginning on January. I started my first job on January 30th and soon after that we had our interview - March 29th of 2006.

I never did apply for AP because we were too poor to go anywhere! But I could have.

We went to the interview on the 29th of March in St Paul, and after a wait we went in and the whole interview took about twenty minutes. We had a very pleasant young woman interviewing us, and she was very thorough. ben even had to count back the years to figure out which year I was born (embarrassing!) and got my two middle names wrong (again, embarrassing!) but she just laughed - it wasn't so bad, and we were free in that we were able to honestly answer everything she asked of us. My passport was stamped, and we trotted out of there like young colts in the spring, and straight to Olive Garden, where we proceeded to stuff our faces :D

In the end, the way we got through it was this: We submitted photographs, but not excessive "evidence" - just important, non-frou-frou evidence of a genuine relationship; we read and re-read and re-read the instructions on teh forms and filled out several about ten times to make sure we had them right; we kept copies of everything we sent; we kept in touch with USCIS with our questions and sometimes called two or three times to reach different people and compare their opinions to one another's (get a third opinion!); we did not panic!

Anyway hope that helps! Main thing is to not lie, be completely genuine at all times, and use the helpline they give you - even if you have to remain on hold for about 65,000 hours at a time! Ooh - and as I was saying - call the line multiple times if you're unsire of someone's answer, as that tends to be the best way to get a clear consensus if what's needed.

Alright, I've said my piece - now I am going to take a bath! :D (F)
JayJayFemaleUnited Kingdom2007-04-12 20:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I marry immediately in the US, or is the K1 correct way?
I presume you're on a B2 because of business?

I did the marriage then adjustment thingy as well, quite out of the blue, and had no problems whatsoever. I got asked in the interview "what made you get married?" and I was completely honest and replied "well, he'd finally asked me, and we wanted to be joined together immediately!" or something along those lines.

In the end, you're as likely as not to have a few financial pressures when you first get on your feet here in the US, whether you come in on a K1 or not. Sure, some people have zillions in savings - but then some people don't. First things fist, if you want to stay: do it. Contact you British creditors if you have any, and tell them you will need to temporarily suspend your payments. Tell them why, and the legal ramifications of working. They will probably be happy to work out a plan with you, taking that burden off.

So she's in rehab. Heh - my hubby's been there and guess what: funnily enough we're now in roughly the same position: he's FINALLY asked for help with his alcohol problem (after some dealings with the police last week, which I won't go into here - very dramatic stuff) and attended his first AA meeting yesterday. he's going to have to go back to court on the 30th of this month and I expect he'll be ordered into rehab as well.

You can get married in an outpatient rehab program - there's not law against it. She's probably on probation, right? That's not the same as parole so she could very likely leave the state to get married and also, even if one WERE to be on parole, that still wouldn't hinder marriage - it's a union between two people. they're not going to punish her by disallowing marriage!

The immigration process does not look at things like this negatively, either - they're really out to find out if she's had prior domestic violence convictions, solicitation etc etc - something that would endanger you. If she HAD these types of crimes on her record, they would make her tell you about them. These crimes don't include theft, parking tickets, DUI's etc - they mean morally bad things like murder and child abuse, etc. If YOU had fourteen DUI's on your record back in England, that would probably come up on a security check and they might look at you a bit funny, however...

I would say that life is hard whichever way you look at it. Some times are going to test you, and some are going to be utter bliss. I think you'll find happiness either way, eventually - personally I chose to stay, and it took a while to get my work permit, but I'm all fine and dandy now - a few creditor got pissed off, but that's about the size of it :)

Good luck whatever you decide!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTricky situation....
You know what my advice would be, as someone who actually did come across with the intent of visiting and then got proposed to (back in '05) and married without any pre-thoughts?

I'd just let her come down for that visit, don't think about this any more now and talk to her about it when she gets here. I wouldn't even mention anything beforehand. Just wait and think about it while she's here...much less of a gray legal area in my opinion. smile.gif

I've never heard of that being necessary. Also, Casa doesn't send any paperwork to you (at least not in my experience) for you to send back to them. So I don't think it's necessary.

If you're concerned, you could try e-mailing the consulate. They're very good at responding. Most times within 1 business day.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresevidence of relationship/support
I think you have a great start on the support documents. I would also recommend getting affidavits from friends both in the US and in Morocco talking about your relationship. I'm not sure if they're needed for the K1 but it wouldn't hurt to bring to the consulate.

I didn't submit plane tickets, just copies of my passport and the entry/exit stamps. For your salary, I think as long as they list what your salary will be for the year and you submit paystubs like you're planning to do you should be fine. Hopefully you don't have to wait that long for an interview at the consulate but just try to file your taxes asap next year and get a print out of the submitted federal return and you would obviously send that if she still isn't here with you.

For the pictures, mine weren't dated either. I submitted them on photo album pages that had a hard coverstock that I could tape the pics to. I also included a separate list of what the pics were, who were pictured, and what the date was or an approximate date.

Send to the consulate:

2x DS 156, 2x DS 156k, 2x DS 230 Part I only, A copy of your passport biographic data.

I sended a double copy signed of each document. This is all you have to send, rest for the interview:

Take to the interview: Photo's 2x, I-134, Birth Certificate, Police Records, Marriage Cert. (If any) Evidence of relationship, Passport.

And maybe some helpfull information: To the medical, bring 2 photo's, vaccination passport. (A record of all the vaccinations your fiance had in her life) Passport, etc.

Good luck

(I am the beneficiary btw, the reason why they told YOU not to send anything is because your fiance needs to send it, not you.)

After sending all this you will recieve Package 4 with the interview date/medical instructions


Casablanca is very different from other consulates. I caution you to listen to what members with experience in dealing with this consulate tell you and confirm what you hear from members that have been through different consulates.

That being said... You do not mail anything in prior to the interview.

USCIS does not care about the party.. the consulte may be another matter... as long as you are both eligible to file for K1, USCIS will likely approve the case and leave the rest up to the consulate.



even if we've other proof : receipt of western union+ copy of our conversations( on msn)+ emails+ copy of conversations on phone+airline tickets

is all that 'll not be enough for the consulate???????

Why on earth would they not approve you simply for not having pictures of a 'party'? Just make sure all your other evidence is robust and don't sweat it.



thank u



The responses you've received thus far are from people who have not experienced the Casa consulate. Casa is a very tough consulate. I believe it is a cultural norm to have an engagement party so by not following one of the cultural norms you could possibly be questioned on it. I believe you should be fine as long as you have other proof but be prepared to answer the questions about it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPOE Seattle
I think it's not a good idea to lie to immigration or at POE. If you think you might have trouble you may want to wait it out and wait for your visa.

Depends on why the visa was denied. You'll need to first address and overcome the reason for the denial. If you don't, you'll just be denied again.
