Just state the jobs as they were. Whatever your title was in the shop, and that it was part time employment (put 'part time butcher's assistant' if that is an accurate term).

My husband was self employed; we simply listed it as 'self employed' with his home address (in the name and address of employer field) and his occupation (mini cab driver) in that field.

I never took 'other names used' to mean ones that folks commonly call you in everyday life, but rather, what name(s) you've used legally.

For example, I had been previously married, so aside from my maiden name, I listed my previous married name because I DID legally use that at one time (on my driver's license, passport, Social Security card, etc).

Yes sir that is correct. You would not have anything to worry about if she is already in the U.S, She could go ahead and file the I-485, after you marry her to adjust her status, along with your the I-130, petition for relative. Only thing they may give you problems with is if you already filed for the K-1, then they may think that you have committed Visa fraud. If She was on the B-1/B-2, when she married you if the I-129F is still pending.




Thank you I will hold off on the I-129F until we see if she gets the tourist visa.




She will fly to Juaes and walk across the border, then she will be a protected class, an ileagal alien and due all the benefits that entails, they do not deport illegal aliens just the legal ones.

What I'm worried about with doing a marriage-based visa is having proof of a bona fide marriage when we can't even live together in the same country. If I were studying abroad in Germany and we lived together there, that would be nice, but unfortunately I can't do that.


Obviously this is very common - so all you can show is that you had a bonafide relationship prior to getting married, and that you've comingled some assets since you got married (adding him to insurance policies, perhaps a joint bank account, etc.). I'm sure folks in the K3 forum could give you more information about what they provided.

Also, not all consulates are really strict on this. Germany is probably more lax about it than, say, Vietnam may be.

They ought to refund you the I 129f fee, too! After all, it was wasted because they filed the wrong damn form, hence the denial. I would definitely be filing a complaint too.

Also, the fees have gone up since you filed originally - you better check out this thread too.

Its $355 now for the I 130 (and no fee for a K3 related I 129f).

What immigration office are you going to take the completed form to? I don't believe local USCIS offices will help you with filling out forms, but I may be wrong.

We'd almost have to see his RFE's (Request for further evidence) to advise you completely. But - USCIS doesn't state you have to send them more money to get an approval.

Here's what I am guessing happened:

1. Your fiance didn't send (in the original package) proof you had met in the last two years. He received an RFE requesting that information.

2. He sent the information in July of this year. If you filed in January, it's likely he received the RFE far before July. It almost sounds to me like he sent the evidence in too late.

3. Your petition was denied due to failure to respond to the RFE in a timely manner. So now if you want to refile again, you will need to pay the higher fee.


I agree with rebeccajo. I wondered about the returning the evidence in July - I assume that's why they said you have to file again and pay the new fee -- the evidence wasn't returned in a timely fashion. . .

Terminology is everything.

It's not USCIS that will 'let her in'. It's the CBP - Customs and Border Patrol.

Believe me it does make a difference. At the airport, the CBP and TSA people don't share office space nor do they know each others procedures.

They are all under the umbrella of DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security) just as USCIS and DOS are also. But they don't speak each others language.

This is really unlike London, btw. Are you completely sure that the case made it to the consulate? Meaning did the NVC give you a London case number and the date it was sent over? I have heard of cases being put on admin review at NVC so this is why I ask.

If you're sure its at the consulate, did you receive packet 3? You mention you were awaiting a 'doctors appointment, interview'. Packet 3 gives you instructions how to make an appt for the medical. Have you done that (or did you never receive packet 3)? If you did receive packet 3, did you return all the forms PLUS the checklist (or just the forms)? London will not schedule an interview until they have that checklist.

You may have the US citizen call the DOS stateside and tell them exactly what's going on (and that the embassy are non responsive) and see what they suggest.

The DOS' number: ( 202) 663 1225.

But if you can answer the questions above, that may give us an idea as to what is going on, and save you a call to DOS.

Doing the paperwork after marriage out of the country adds significant time to being apart, unless she is able to live in Italy for quite some time during the wait.


For the CR1/IR1, that is true (although its not as long a process as it used to be). But the K3 is also an option, which is a multiple entry visa and has AOS after the spouse arrives. The fact of it being multiple entry is a better option for some folks - but again, each situation is different, and its a decision that each couple has to make individually.

The K1 may well be the better option for this couple, but their best course of action is to educate themselves about their options and make an informed decision that best suits their needs.

He will have to list his time in the UK on the G 325a. Also, when it comes time for the visa interview, he will have to get a police certificate from any country in which he spent more than 6 months - this would include the UK. That police report does not cover immigration issues (at least not to my knowledge).

My gut feeling is that this will not be an issue for the visa (since he does not have any criminal convictions), and he did what the UK immigration officials asked him to do (went back to Jamaica once his asylum was denied).

However, it might benefit you to have a consultation with an immigration attorney to make sure they do not see any issues with it.

So she still would have wanted to visit, just not for 80 days. In which case, the VWP is still nice to have so that she doesn't have to apply for a tourist visa, yes?

So, why is Vermont able to turn around so many petitions in less than one month? ...imho, it is about running an organization efficiently. I work for the US gov't and know how bad it can be. USCIS is the worst I have ever seen. If they don't have enough adjudicator's, the leadership should be changing the manning documents to change this!

From my understanding, the actual work time for USCIS to complete a I-129F is 2 weeks or less. Backlog creates the 4-6 month wait.

I guess it is more frustrating to me because I have all kinds of background checks on myself due to my current job, and don't understand how it could take more than 5 minutes to verify my background.... (this is my personal rant)


Vermont WAS able to turn around petitions that quickly for quite a while. Mainly because the numbers of petitions they adjudicated were far less than their counterparts at the California Service Center.

While it may take 2 weeks or less to complete a petition (not sure where that figure came from), that still does not take into account the number of people in line ahead of you - not only for family based visa types, but for ALL the visa types processed by the service centers.

If the USCIS is the 'worst' you have ever seen, then I would hate to see your opinion of them a few years ago. It may seem hard to believe, but they actually HAVE improved. The previous quick turnaround of petitions at Vermont would be (in my opinion) an example of that.

The immigration process is broken. (not the VWP) For me to have to wait 4-6 months for the USCIS to process a form that should take two weeks to process is evidence of the bureaucratic backlog and poor leadership within the USCIS organization.

The OP and others (like me and my fiance) wouldn't have to use the VWP if the USCIS processing times were realistic.


I guess I find that a bit odd. My fiance (now husband) and I wanted to take some time to get to know each other, and part of that (for us) was - at the very least - letting him come here, see where he'd be living, meet his future in laws (and my friends) and just generally learn what life might be like once we uprooted his life and he moved here. It would have been very unusual to us to have met one time in person (me visiting him there) and then applying for the K1. But maybe that's just me.

It was a relief to us that he could just board that plane, nothing but his passport in hand, and have the chance to do that without having to worry about getting any kind of visa to do so.

Unfortunately, some folks here whose fiance/e's are from other countries can't even get tourist visas so they have no chance of coming here and finding out what life in the US is really like.

I said the system is broken. You said "so we should just throw out all the rules?" That's not a question, that's intentionally drawing the wrong conclusion from my argument.

I didn't say the VWP is broken, I said the entire immigration system as a whole is broken. I said I don't have any hard feelings towards someone who uses whatever means is available to them to be with their loved ones. Others have said the OP is abusing the VWP system, and my feeling is that while it might *technically* be an abuse, I think there are much bigger fish to fry than the odd person who just wants to be with their fiance. The large majority of abuses are happening through criminal enterprises. Attacking the OP for abusing the system is like giving somebody a ticket for jaywalking right in front of a crack house.


I did not understand your point that immigration as a whole is broken - I thought you meant the VWP is broken. I assume dev made the same mistake/inference I did.

For the record, I never attacked the OP for abusing the system. I actually said let him try it, as apparently he has money to burn.

I'm just saying, I'm not going to chastise someone for wanting to be with their loved one and doing something about it. If someone has to use the VWP to visit their loved one, then the system is broken anyway and needs to be fixed. That's where the concern should lie, not with the few people who may technically be abusing it, but who are doing it for all the right reasons anyway. People like the OP are not the problem. The real abusers--the criminals--those are the people who are creating the real problems in the system.


My fiance (now husband) used the VWP three times to visit me here in the states. The VWP is the easiest way for non US residents to visit loved ones in the US, and those of us whose SO's live in VWP countries are very fortunate.

How is that a 'broken' system?
