K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFormer K1 fiancées that didn’t marry my groom and left US.

Forum; a public meeting place for open discussion
Former K1 fiancées that didn't marry my groom and left US., Should the officers know about them?

see the bold? Thats the op's title. That says 2 or more K1's. Plus the marriage to the other that may not be divorced. I really do not feel unjustified in my comments.

As well please notice what a forum is. If the definition of a discussion is limited to only the begining topic of conversation how would we as a society have ever progressed? Would we still be developing the first idea that our conscious minds ever came up with because we were required to stay on subject?


Ok August...guess you're free to call everyone you disagree with a rat. Have at it! After all its a FORUM and we wouldnt want to stop progress of the human species.

Nothing you said there makes sense. I didn't call him a rat, that I can recall, but if others did, I don't question their sincere concern for this girl getting mixed up with a guy who - from her own posts - didn't inform her of PAST MARRIAGES which were also to non-USCs. I think that's a serious omission on his part. Again, based on the information she provided.

And a question on whether or not to tell the truth on government forms? How would that NOT raise eyebrows. It's an innocent question from the OP, but since she also told us the USC had filed a petition before and BEEN MARRIED before, then we are going to naturally wonder why this guy doesn't know better already.

She made her relationship our business when she posted here in the way she did.

Again, if she's mature enough to consent to marriage, then she's mature enough to evaluate information and advice offered here and take or reject it as she sees fit. Or she can stop reading.

I haven't seen any censorship yet on this board, no undue editing by the admins, and I wouldn't expect to see any since it would violate the marketplace-of-ideas concept that is the bedrock of both America and the internet generally.


You said it yourself - "she also told us the USC had filed a petition before and BEEN MARRIED before" so - if we're going to call him a liar now..how did he NOT inform her of his prior marriages if she's the one that posted that prior marriage to us?

So two days ago you suggested a reasonable advice or course of action, very good..... Since then is it fair to say you have only added fuel to the "snowball"?

Its not my nature to sit back and let people get insulted for asking a simple question - then to defend that action from those same people is to be expected. Im entitled to my opinion as are the people who call the OPs fiance suspicious. You neglected to see how I gave my input sticking to the subject of the petition...perhaps you should reread all the posts to better understand how it got to this point.

I don't think "ridicule" is the applicable word here. And she asked a sincere question and got, quite likely, a lot of sincere answers - just because they weren't warm and fuzzy, doesn't mean they don't come from a place of genuine concern.

The implication from the OP's original post and subsequent post is that she didn't know he HAD BEEN MARRIED before. That's the kind of fact I find important - and I think I'd find it important even if I werent' facing a protracted immigration process. So people here are going to raise a few eyebrows and call out behavior based on the information they are given. If the OP doesn't like the responses, he/she is always free to take or leave them as they see fit.

Oh and - again, we still have no confirmation that this guy is actually divorced from the girl he married who skipped town. That's a pretty important fact that can make this entire discussion completely pointless.


How do you figure calling the fiance a "rat" comes from a genuine place of concern? That seems to be the problem with some of the advice on here. Her question was basically whether or not to divulge past petition/marriage information on the new petition. Not whether or not her man was a sneak, a cheat, a rat, or whether his actions would "raise VJers eyebrows". To tell her to run in the opposit direction is completely irrelevent and her relationship with him is not our business. Yes if he's not divorced that would make the discussion pertaining to her question pointless, but the fact that advice givers have crossed the line still stands.

Question from petition 11, I-129F:"Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance(?) or husband/wife before?"

My question is, should or shouldn’t we show that my fiancé already filled the K1 before and brought a bride to USA, that afterwards left before 90 days were over?

The two different lawyers that we asked about that matter, each gave us different information:

The first one suggested: we should definitely show, and on top of that, we should show the proof that she did leave USA.

The second one said: since the marriage did not happen, and the 90 day law was not broken, and mainly- no documents were filled in order to get the Green Card, so it will just delay our case for several more months.

I personally think that we should show that, because I’m concerned that the officers will see that he filled for another K1 in past anyway, write it or not.
My fiancé thou, thinks that I am not familiar with the American system and if no rules were broken with the last K1, we shouldn’t refer to it.


YES ! Tell your fiance you will run into problems if you dont list that information. IMBRA laws require that you file a waiver request if this past approved petition was within the past two years of filing this one. If it wasnt filed within the two years there's a good chance they will find that information when they do checks.

"I do not believe I ever questioned the status of the relationship."


No, you just insulted her by calling her man a rat. Then again...saying "there are real issues with him". Do you actually have any advice about her petition? Evidentally you would rather jump on the bash wagon instead of reading the original post because you're under the impression that the fiance has filed THREE past petitions when in fact there was only ONE. Perhaps you could calm down the insults against someone you've decidedly labeled a rat after two paragraphs that you never took the time to read.

Im shocked the admins of this site dont give you and others a stiff warning for this personal attack on the OPs fiance. Why do you find it necessary to ridicule and name call?

It makes a difference because the jerk lawyer that advised the USC to lie also probably didnt tell him about the IMBRA law. And for your info. there was only ONE previous approved petition and the reason most hire a lawyer is so they dont have to do "research" on their own. It doesnt make her guy a sneaky criminal as most have tagged him as.....it makes him lucky to have a gal who will find the facts so they can fire this idiot lawyer steering them in the wrong direction.



You appear to be missing the point. He filed two previous petitions - whether or not it was pre-IMBRA and whether or not they were approved does not matter. He still filed TWO previous petitions. I didn't say he was a sneaky criminal but I will say that someone who suggests lying during a process as important as this one is someone I would not think highly of. And a lawyer can only give half way decent advice to someone who supplies ALL the truthful information.


I understand that you do not think highly of the seemingly unethical thought process of the OPs fiance, however, you're not engaged to him. (Too often we open ourselves up to personal interjection of complete strangers on here) The point Im trying to make is this: If I hire an immigration lawyer - who holds a license to practice for being a so called expert in the immigration process - and this lawyer told me to omit information because it would bog down my application ....well hell....if I didnt know the seriousness of my actions (because I hired him so I didnt have to reasearch this myself) I would follow the advice of my "immigration expert". Dirty rotten jerkoffs morelike...read the newest post on the poor couple who waited over a year only to find that their case was CLOSED due to a lawyer not giving them correct and timely information. This lawyer has all the facts otherwise he would not tell the USC to omit it from the application. If I was the OP I would have the USC (and the snake lawyer) include not only the previous K1 also but the AOS attempts on the J1 (who you mistook as the second K1). All this information comes out anyway since we're all scanned into the system.

Ever think that his past petition was filed BEFORE the IMBRA law went into effect?


What difference in the world does that make? None!

The fact still remains that her fiance has filed two previous petitions, hasn't done any research on his own regarding filing a third one, and has told her that it's best to lie about it.

There are example waiver letters that can help you get started then you will need supporting evidence etc. etc. You will file that letter (used as the waiver) with your petition. It is neessary especially since he's had two previous petitions.

Hello all,

I had a lady come here recently and things did not work out. If I go through the process again, do I need to wait for a certain amount of time? Someone told me 18 months? 2 years? Is that correct? Does that apply to me if I only had 1 approval?

Thanks!

If you've had a petition approved within the past 2 years of filing a new petition you must attach a letter used as a waiver due to the IMBRA law. This waiver is filed with your petition. I had my last approved K1 petition go south June of 06 a week before the interview. Read up on the IMBRA issue and view sample letters used as the waiver.

What I see from this man's post is 'should I cancel because I know I'll be importing some hapless woman to be my wife just as soon as I can'.
In my opinion, he doesn't love this woman, he's only sore because she's rejected him despite the 'obvious' financial benefits.
As well, as the fact she's 'wasted his time' when he could have been busily getting any other woman who would have him imported.

God spare me from a man like him...I pity the woman he will most likely eventually procure.

I thought that it was a no no, but I had heard it was possible so I wanted to ask. I dont know how to solve his problem about not having anything in England, his ex took EVERYTHING, he literally came to me with the clothes on his back. Is it possible for him to stay in the US while the K-1 is filed? Or If we file a K-3 Visa after being married abroad would he be admitted in the US while we are waiting for it go through? I read on the USCIS that there is no "line" for spouses. I have so many questions and dont know where to find the answers!


You wouldn't need a K anykind of visa - you would file Adjustment of Status since you're already in the US provided you're married. Intent to marry on a waiver is a no no. My husband and I had a K1 in process when we arrived for the birth of our child - we married just before his 90 waiver days and adjusted status instead. The intent was to visit for the birth then return to the UK to finish the K1 process. We were just approved a greencard this week.

I have to agree with Chris, all the waiting people do for these K visas and all the pain from being apart are very serious issues. When a couple rushes into this process it wastes valuable time for couples who are 100% bonafide for the process. Unfortunately, I was one of those clogging up the system as I needed an IMBRA waiver after rushing into the process then canceling after an interview date was set. I think Vikki should have told her fiance not just for the sake of the Visa in progress, but for the foundation of their relationship...truth.

Suspicious? I can't imagine why...not all countries have access to the VWP program and would therefore require a Tourist Visa to travel to the USA as a visitor.

As you can see on the U.S. Department of State page following, Venezuela (the OP's beneficiary's country) is not one of the participating countries.

I have to say that most of the people i now had try drug a day in their life. Even my boss. Even my father, he admit that when he was a soldier he tried marijuana. And so what. It don't make them bad peoples. Drugs is something so common in our life. We have to deal with. And all of us have to think that, even if we'll give the best education to our kids, it will be ever possible that they'll try drugs a day. Please dont play the "oh my god".

Well Yoko,

I couldn't let the sleeping dog lie on this one, I just have to walk up and kick him. wink.gif

First, I am not "play"ing anything, especially "oh my god", whatever that is supposed to mean. In my post I stated opinion (not "judgement" as another poster potentially inferred, I say again potentially) which is my own, naturally. You can say what you want about "most of the people i now" (hmmmm...."now" - too much usage yourself there? wink.gif - hahaha - joke), however "most of the people I know" didn't ever try drugs, even my father. None of my friends, and noone I associate with. Essentially, I have had the exact opposite experience in my life to yours. So again, the "most people" you are referring to is based on your life experiences only and my whole point is to not associate that experience with others by blindly applying it to the USA (or world) population as a whole. That's when it includes me and that's when I take issue.

This is not a judgemental post, just FYI.

Ok enough. Got work to do.

Y'all take care! Good luck to everyone who is waiting in the queue!

UM.....WHAT??? A portion of your post is extremely difficult to understand and WOW - you must live in a perfect world to have so many people around you who have never experimented with drugs. The OP asked a simple question - wasnt trying to pick a fight or point fingers accusing the non drug users of being drug addicts...dont take it so personal. Dang.

Please help. During K1 medical of course they will require drug test... I'm sure most people have used drugs at some point of their life. How long will the drug stay in your body? Or does it depend what kind of drug it was used? What if it's just mariajuana or weed? What if you took it 4 months ago or 6 months ago will it show on the medical results at the embassy?

Stop freakin' out about it but if you're toking I advise you to give yourself at least 4 weeks to clear your body and conscience.


I am going to suggest to refrain from advising people how to skirt the laws when it comes to this sort of thing. The TOS does not allow for such.


Thank you for singling me out when bridget mentions buying pee. Let me rephrase my post to say STOP smoking pot because it takes at least 4 weeks to clear your body. Is that better?

Keep in mind that if you're asked if you've ever smoked pot its the same as if you have an actual conviction of possession on your police record. Sooooo - if a person does have a conviction, and also admits to smoking it - then 2 strikes you're out! Trust me on this - My guy had a single possession of cannibas resin on his record and I've googled the hell out of the process. The immigration officer asked if he inhaled or did a Bill Clinton. We did not need a waiver due to it being 3.2 grams found at a party he had at his house. The US is very firm on our laws of drug use when it comes to immigration however he was not tested for drugs at his medical. Stop freakin' out about it but if you're toking I advise you to give yourself at least 4 weeks to clear your body and conscience.

oh p.s. the lawyer (marc ellis by the way for all of you who think he is the best - he struck me as rude, strange and not very bright, sorry, but its that was my impression - plus the consulate in vietnam doesnt like him, why hire a lawyer who the officials DONT LIKE DEALING WITH?) also said that the consulate runs credit checks, background checks, phone checks, checks where you live and who you live with.... its that involved. ????? Is this true? I have NEVER heard this before and have consulted with other lawyers. I was previously married and I live with my ex-husband now because he is my BEST FRIEND. Now I wouldn't state that on any paperwork but Marc Ellis said, oh, the consulate runs phone records, they know who lives where, etc etc.... that sounds like bull to me... we rent our house, its in MY name and the phone is only in MY name.... I dont know for certain but isnt all that a little involved?? Talk about feeling discouraged after talking with Mr. Ellis.... UGH. Why doesnt the consulate just shoot me up with truth serum and lock me in a room with no food or water for days and ask if I really love my fiancee .... if its really like Mr. Ellis says, where does it end? TROI OI (oh my GAWD!! In Vietnamese language) :-)


You are coming to the wrong site to slam Marc Ellis young lady. Maybe he gave you a dose of reality. Can you handle it?



Hey - She's entitled to her opinion!!!! My lawyer was nothing like that and if he was I would fire him!
