Thanks for the quick reply. Little short, blush.gif doesn't help much. If it is an original birth certificate then you would think it would be in there being it is a necessary document. The FAQ says it is but may be unreliable because it is pretty old entry.

I would hope that anyone who has gone though a POE as of late could answer the question.

Thanks again.







No documents will be returned to you at POE. If you no longer have the original then you will need to get another one from the place where the birth was registered.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do any type of transfer, or change the already "opened" K-1 and file a CR1? I know its a long shot, but I'm not made of money and would like some of my $455 back if my K-1 is useless, lol.


It is not possible to transfer a K1 application to any other visa type. You will have to abandon your K1 application and then file for a CR1 visa paying the appropriate fee's again.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisitor visa holder and US citizen plan to get married at church in US. Please help...
QUOTE (Neonred @ Sep 22 2008, 01:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Why not go ahead and get married in the church and then file for a K-3 visa? Of course you are going to have to leave and return to your home country doing a K-1 or K-3.

If it were me, I'd get married, stay, and file for AOS (as long as you did not enter the country planning to get married).


Planning to get married when you enter the US on a Tourist visa or VWP is not the issue it is having the intent at entry to remain and file for AOS. If you enter and plan to get married you have done nothing wrong, all you need to do is leave the US before the expiry of your I-94. Then file for a spousal visa to return.

If you enter with no intent to remain and during your stay you decide to marry and remain then you can do so, you only need evidence to prove your intent to return when you entered.

If you plan to enter the US on a tourist visa or VWP with the intent of getting married and remaining so that you dont have to wait for a K1 then you are commiting visa fraud, which can result in deportation and a lifetime ban on re-entry.

Hello VJs,
I have a questions right now. I got my K1 visa las sep 4th and it is valid until march 6 2008.
I am planning on travelling to US next February cause i need to finish some stuff here until then. So we are planning to get married in May (spring) since Winter is very cold in North Dakota.
I am wondering now if I need my K1 visa valid for getting married, cause in may it will have already expired... should i get married before march 6? On the other hand....should i need my visa valid to start my AOS process? o get my SSn and driver's license?

Please... help me to solve this...

Kem


If you plan to visit the USA in February, the visa thats inside your passport will be stamped / used at that time at the POE (port of entry), from that date (the day you enter US soil) you will have 90 days to get married, plan your marriage around that for the end of April or begining of May. You will not be able to leave the USA once you are here unless you apply for Advanced Parrole (I-131 Application for Travel Document).

The other option is to see if you can get the Visa extended at your Embassy in your country.

There must be someone on this visa forum who has come against this surely??


This is correct, all that happens is that it is typed out and stamped (Red stamp) by the court that issued the decree.

If you want a certified copy of the divorce, visit the court that issued it and ask for one of the clerks there to certify it.

Hi I was wondering if anyone here could assist me.
I am from Ireland and origionally filed for a K-1 fiance visa- this was denied as I had overstayed when I was in the states and they informed me that I have a 10 year ban. I am appealing this decision, however in the mean time my fiance and I have got married and he is now in Ireland.

My query is does the appeal for the K-1 still stand or do we now have to fill out a load of different paperwork??
I would be grateful for any information.

blush.gif



You need to file for a CR-1 / K3 visa as you are married now, you will also need to have the I-601 form at hand due to the 10 year ban. Hardship on the USC will need to be proved because of the 10 year ban.

The Advanced Parole is for when he lives here once he has been issued his K1 visa, not the other way round !!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance(e) Visa process Usa- Europe

The process itself will take about the same time, but after the interview, many men from Pakistan get put into AP (Additional processing- security checks). This would happen even if a Pakistani is legally present in the UK and interviewing there.

As the previous poster mentioned, it looks from your signature like you are married. If the marriage is legal wherever you had it (such as a proxy marriage followed by the meeting in person you mention), then you can no longer file for a K1 fiance visa and would need to file for a CR-1 spousal visa.


Hi All and thank you for the response. Yes We are married by faith but never have a civil marriage. For muslim, like myself, we have to have 2 marriages (a religious one and a civil marriage). In short we are not married according to the UK and US. Our Religious wedding is much more of an engagment.

Hi All,

Thanks for your comments but it still feels confusing. I wonder if the Consulate in Casablanca would know anything about them. They seem to respond my emails fairly promptly.

Do you know there is an government agency to email or call about this?

Thanks,
Jayme



it does not matter if your husband gets the stamp or not. As of the begining of April the accepted documents that are accepted when a new employee completes the I-9 form have changed and a K1 visa with unexpired I-94 and temp EAD stamp are no longer in the accepted list. So the employer will not be able to verify his work status, so cant employ him.

He will have to wait until you are married and then file for EAD along with his AOS.

Middle East and North AfricaFoolish friend wants to come to US on visitor visa & marry b/c fiancee won't fly to Morocco
QUOTE (SunDrop @ Nov 9 2009, 11:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
OK, I've read the thread you pointed us to.

I realise that I was wrong in thinking that the AOS petitioner/beneficiary have the onus to prove that there was no intent. blush.gif

To be honest, however, we seem to be arguing at cross purposes on the rest of it because the fact is that the OP stated this friend of hers intends to materially misrepresent himself twice in order to marry his USC fiancee.

Ergo, yes, it is possible to AOS from a visitor's visa successfully even when you have material misrepresentation involved and yes, many do successfully.

However, it is fraud and there is always a risk, especially when dealing with a MENA beneficiary.

I take issue but honestly, am big and bad enough to move on from, being accused of 'spewing information on a public board' when my only inaccuracy was stating the onus of proof is on the petitioning couple. Is there really any need to be so patronising?



You need stop and think about your reply you gave in response to my last post. You Highlighted the Immidiate Relative in red and said that he is not the immidiate relative so that does not apply... He may not be a immidiate relative when he gets his tourist visa or when he arrives at POE but he will be 100% immidiate relative after they marry and apply for AOS/I-130. And as an immidiate relitive he will not be diened because he entered on a tourist visa or VWP.

It is also up to USCIS to prove that there was intent not the applicant.

Should the OP's friend plan to enter on a tourist visa and then get married and remain? I would say no it would be better for him to apply for a K1 visa given all the dificulties that are involved with a MENA Consulate. That does not change the fact that a person can adjust their status legally from a tourist visa or VWP.

No official is going to allow him to enter on a visitor's visa if he declares he intends to get married and adjust.

If he enters on a visitor's visa and doesn't declare his intent to marry and adjust then he's committing fraud. The onus is on the applicant to prove there was NO intent, not always an easy thing to do. If they decide he doesn't satisfy this proof, he could be deported and banned from re-entering for LIFE.

They've got 2 options when it comes to doing it the legal way:

1) She applies for a K1, he applies for a visitor's visa and he travels with a copy of the NOA1 from the K1 petition and explains that he's staying only for the length of his visitor's visa and will return to finalise the K1 processing, or when they receive NOA2. And does just that. He then returns to the US on his K1 and then they marry and adjust.

2) He applies for a visitor's visa, travels to the US and they get married. She files a K3 or a CR1 application and he stays for the duration of his visitor's visa. He returns to finalise processing and then re-enters with either his K3 and adjusts or his CR1. He should, if he wants to avoid the risk of being permanently banned from the US, tell them at his POE of his intentions to marry her and that he will leave once his visa has expired OR the NOA2 is received, whichever is the earlier. He may or may not be granted entry but can't know until he gets to his POE.

3) Failing sense in listening to you, tell them that if they commit fraud and you know, you will notify the USCIS of their intentions. It's really not fair on anyone else going through the process properly. I did this with my roommate at the time, when she was asked to marry a guy she knew from school so that he could stay in the UK on her EU passport. Told her if she did, I'd report them to the authorities. She was mad at first and thanked me after he went to marry some other chick he knew. They were stopped at the Registry Office, he was deported and she was heavily fined...

I don't know if Morocco allows self-sponsoring but if so, is he wealthy enough to prove he has liquidated funds that are 5 x roughly 27,500usd? That's the amount he'll need for him, her and her 2 kids. Otherwise, again if Morocco allows it, they'll need a co-sponsor.


Your post is misleading... there is no permanent ban from the US if you enter and get married and remain and file for AOS... as others have said as long as you did not misrepresent your self at the POE then as a immediate relative of a USC (Spouse, Parents, Minor Children) you can legally file for I-130 and AOS and remain in the USA while it is being processed.

I would be interested to see where you are getting the information from that say you will get a permanent ban from the USA.

A link?.......



As a moderator you are giving the advice that someone enter the US with a non-immigrant visa with clear immigrant intent?

I understand that it occurs. Just wanting to get the VJ moderator's stance on this behavior.


If you read my post you will see that I was asking SunDrop to tell us where he/she was getting information that a person would be banned for life if they entered with the intent to get married and remain.

I also said that as an immediate relative of a USC it is legally possible to enter the USA on a tourist visa and not misrepresent yourself at POE and file for I-130 and AOS.

While I do not condone anyone attempting to take any action that is illegal, we all know that it happens. I was pointing out that there are situations where having entered on a tourist visa or VWP does not stop you from filing for a greencard.

In this case it is highly unlikely that a tourist visa would be issued in this case..

I called to check last week about the new address as I had printed the coversheet for the DS-230 and it had the old address. I was told by the operator to mail it to the address on the coversheet, That is what I did and it was delivered the next day with no problems.

Agreed c9 is the correct one. a6 is for EAD valid for the same time as your I-94 (90 days from entry).

If you are doing AOS from a VWP then it is not advisable to leave the USA until you have a greencard, you could be denied entry and sent back to the UK on the 1st flight available at your own expense. If you leave the US without the required documents you will not be able to re-enter as you will be deemed to have abandoned your AOS and will have to apply for a K3/CR-1 and remain in the UK until it is approved.

You should have a chat with a good immigration lawyer who has experience of working with people who are doing AOS from a VWP, remember that you have signed a VWP (I-94w) giving up your rights of appeal. As you may be asked to prove that you did not have intent to remain in the US at your last entry when you go for your AOS interview, do you think it is wise to take a job outside the US given that you are pregnant and trying to get your greencard.

Hi guys,

My wife moved to U.S about 3 weeks ago. We did check the box for having SSN card sent to us on DS 230. She has received her green card but no SSN yet. How long does it take for SSN card to come.

I know for some people they have to go to SS Admin office to apply for one even though you requested one to be mailed to you so I just want to know how long I should wait before applying for one?

Thanks!



Go now to the SSA office and file for a SSN, if they have already assigned one already it will show up in the system.

Hello,

On the port of entry I changed my mailing address and I moved to a different address than the one mentioned in my I-130 it was because of job. Now I plan to move to NY tomorrow.. so do I have to inform USCIS or anyone? please help me in this regard. I am on Conditional Green Card.

Thanks
Fahim


Yes you need to complete form AR-11 everytime you change address, you must do this within 10 days of moving, also if your sponsor is moving with you then they need to file form I-865 to update their change of address and they must do this within 30 days of moving.
