K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed Information Please FAST


Excuse me????? I was simply trying to read what the lady posted and was hoping she could edit it so it could be read. I assumed you wouldn't be able to read it either, and that it wouldn't be helpful to you if you couldn't read it. And where exactly did I say 'it' was the end of the line????

You having a bad day does not give you the right to say ####### like that, but thanks for showing us your sparking personality. :thumbs:



IT WAS MEANT FOR REBBECCAJO!!! IM FURIOUS!!! JUST BECAUSE SHE HAS LONG SINCE GOTTEN HER VISA SHE FEELS THE NEED TO SIT ON HER THROWN AND GIVE OUT CLOSE ENDED ADVICE!!! MY OP WAS ASKING FOR LINKS FOR INFORMATION!!! NOT HER DAMN OPINION!!! DENIED DENIED DENIED DENIED !!!!!! DENIED MY A S S!!!!!! I DIDNT COME THIS FAR FOR SOME QUEEN TO SIT THERE AND ####### ON MY HEAD!!! WHETHER OR NOT SHE UNDERSTANDS IT HER POSTS ARE NOT COLD HARD FACTS!! THERE ARE OPTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS AND THE OTHER POSTS ON HERE PROVE THAT!!!! THEN SHE DECIDES TO SLAM SOMEONE WHO GIVES ME A RAY OF FRICKEN LIGHT!!????? TO HELL WITH HER!



Well seeing as you quoted me, how was I supposed to know who it was directed at?

I can understand that what she said may have upset you (though I'm not sure why, as her saying you'll likely have to file a waiver was NOT saying that you're out of luck - waivers get approved and visas issued all the time), but lets try to have some decorum here and not violate VJ's Terms Of Service with attacks.

Anyway, good night and good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresClarification on IMBRA Recall
I didn't get the impression that they were changing the form.

"If it was through an IMB on March 06, 2006 or after, Immigration may request information about the IMB and proof whether they completed the compliance requirement." Meaning if the petitioner states on the I 129F that they met through an IMB, then they *may* request information and proof about the compliance. I don't see how that 'proof' could be anything contained on an I 129F.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSomeone help me please

I think you need to contact the embassy in Brazil to ask them which form to use for a K-1 petition. I think that usually it's the I-130 for fiances but you should make sure.

Sarah


Right about asking Brazil (tho I suspect they will send instructions when they mail out packet 3 to your fiancee) - except the affidavit of support is form I 134, not I 130.

You can put that in the letter of intent, but I don't really see what purpose it serves. All they care is that you are both free and willing to marry.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisa past due
I'm assuming you are the USC, and it sounds like your state has a 60 day waiting period after the termination of the marriage before you can legally marry someone else. Each state has different rules about divorcing and remarrying.

I think what your lawyer is saying is to send a copy of the same thing that is stamped at least 60 days past the date the divorce was final. I don't think Feb 20th fits that bill.

That is my guess based on the limited info provided.

What that has to do with the title of the thread (Visa past due?), I have no idea.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresif my fiance doesn't want a green card?

If your fiancé(e) is not a citizen of the United States and you plan to get married in the United States, then you must file a petition with USCIS on behalf of your fiancé(e). After the petition is approved, your fiancé(e) must obtain a visa issued at a U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad. The marriage must take place within 90 days of your fiancé(e) entering the United States. If the marriage does not take place within 90 days or your fiancé(e) marries someone other than you (the U.S. citizen filing USCIS Form I-129F - Petition for Alien Fiancé), your fiancé(e) will be required to leave the United States. Until the marriage takes place, your fiancé(e) is considered a nonimmigrant. A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to temporarily enter the United States for a specific purpose. A fiancé(e) may not obtain an extension of the 90-day original nonimmigrant admission.

If your fiancé(e) intends to live and work permanently in the United States, your fiancé(e) should apply to become a permanent resident after your marriage. (If your fiancé(e) does not intend to become a permanent resident after your marriage, your fiancé(e)/new spouse must leave the country within the 90-day original nonimmigrant admission.)

So TECHNICALLY, there is no reason why a K1 could not be applied for in this case.

Jen


Wow, interesting!

I still think its quite a hassle just to have a ceremony, but whatever floats your boat.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresif my fiance doesn't want a green card?
Yet still I ask - isn't this scenario a bit against the point of a K1 - which is to marry and SETTLE IN THE US. I'm not sure if that would qualify as misrepresentation or not.

I can understand (sort of) if there were no other options available.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresif my fiance doesn't want a green card?


Not only would it be easier, but you would be one less clog in the already clogged K1 lines.

I would think you'd have a really good chance at getting him a tourist visa to travel back here with you one day to meet the family. He'd be in a better position then - the spouse of a US citizen (esp. if you're traveling together) - than he is now for the tourist visa.



in order for an american citizen to marry a mexican in mexico, the us citizen needs a document it is not a visa it is like a permision given by immigration services, that takes about 15 days to get and the us citizen must be in mexico to get it, the cost is about 200 dlls and depending on the state where u will get married the cost for a marriage licence (civil wedding rights) would be about 200 dlls more, so no its not cheaper.....i check all this before for veracruz cos we were planning a wedding in mexico but then we just decided to apply for k-1 visa cos we would be living in the united states.......


I think you misunderstood what I was suggesting - marry in Mexico, and then return at some point after that with him on a tourist visa.

She said the only real reason they wanted to marry in the states was so he could meet her family. Instead of going through the K1 process simply to marry and then abandon the AOS, why not marry and get settled in Mexico, and then return at some point for the non USC spouse to meet their new extended family?

And I never understood from the OP that she and her fiance had not met - only that her FAMILY has not met him yet. Big difference.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresif my fiance doesn't want a green card?

No as far as I know there s no problem, my husband came from Cuba on a I-129F visa, and after we married he went back to Cuba, not because we intent to live in Cuba but because we were advised that once we got married he had to return and them apply for a I130. And this is what we are doing, Once I found out that this was not the proper way to go called Immigration Office and they said that it was no problem to go ahead an apply for I-129 and the I-130, that s were we are at know.


A I 129F is not a visa. It is a form that one fills out when petitioning for both K1 and K3s.

At any rate, I'm not sure how your situation is the same as what the OP wants to do. It sounds as if you were planning to reside in the US.

Is there a reason you MUST get married in the US?

I have to disagree about a wedding being the 'point' of a K1. A K1 is so that an unmarried couple can marry and then settle in America.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLawyer's response to K-1 questions



2)If you are asked your intent, come on in and have your normal stay and Dean should return to the UK before the expiration of the waiver. While here, file the fiancé visa petition. Once it is approved, Dean can apply for the fiancé visa at the US Consulate in the UK, come back to the US and you can get married within 90 days.

Does this make sense to anyone?



What makes sense to me is that this attorney doesn't know very damn much about the K-1 process.

Since when can you apply for the fiance visa at the US consulate in the UK?

Don't take advice from the uninformed.



HA that sailed right past me (since I saw red when I read his other 'suggestion').

What a tool.

I guess it makes sense in the sense of 'don't offer information that they don't ask about'.

But this lawyer (and you) would bloody well know why Dean is entering the country - to marry you and then adjust status - which means he has immigrant intent. And no matter how your lawyer spins it, it is illegal to come here with the intent to marry and adjust status.

You have to be legally able to marry your fiancee when you mail in the petition. If you send in the documents before the 120 days have passed, they will simply send it back to you asking for proof that you can legally marry.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan he spend the summer with me???
Frankly, I'd do exactly the same thing if we could afford it. Just make sure he brings plenty of ties to home, other than the obvious (having to attend a visa interview). You might get lucky and get an uninquisitive officer at the POE, but in the event you do, just be sure he can prove that he is returning home.

Maybe him catching a flight through Dublin would help. Then he could clear immigration there and if he DID get turned back, wouldn't be such a long haul home. Of course, he'd have to still clear customs at the actual US POE, but at least the immigration stuff would be done.

If you're really concerned, I would make a photocopy of the letter you sent them (you probably did that already) and have that with you the next time you travel. Then you at least have proof of trying to do things the right way.
