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!

Husk -

Here's a question for your friend as you may have left before this law was in effect. I am wondering who handles the IMBRA waiver approvals there? Is it the adjudicator or do they send it to a special department? I have one I-129F approved petition (approved December 2005 with an interview date of June 2006) This petition was revoked before the interview. The petition I'll be sending in next week is for a new beneficiary and my waiver is requested based on the fact that im 11 weeks pregnant. How much supporting evidence will I need? Do you know anything about this process? Does it slow things down much?





You ROCK Husk! Thanks

I enjoy reading the posts in public as well but there's probably people asking questions involving personal circumstances they dont feel comfortable displaying on the thread. Then again there's those people afraid to post a question for fear of another poster jumping in with the "READ THE GUIDES" advice. I didnt know what an NOA2 was when I started out either. :) So here's our options - Why dont we just hold the poor guy hostage or pay him an hourly rate for his advice LOL Maybe Husk can quit his day job!

With all due respect to the long timers on this forum I honestly believe there are many on here who feel they just need to be heard rather than offer sincere advice based on their experiences with these institutions. My post should have been reworded to reflect the fact that we finally have someone who has worked behind the curtain to give the answers we've been longing for. I dont know about you but I would rather sit here and read his posts all day rather than some of the nonsense that takes up space on this forum. For those in the process I understand this can be an extremely frustrating time and, like myself, would rather skip the drama and get straight to the facts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshelp with Letter of intent
HI I have just started my K1 process I found the letter of intent on this site and used it. The lawyer i am using wants a more detailed letter from both of us.
Is this necessary? I like how this letter is short and to the point.
They think i need to go into how we met, where we met, why we met, etc
This info is on the I-129F question 18
I thought the letter of intent was just that.
My letter is not a problem hers will take some time to get because they want originals.

So what are they really looking for? and what works?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMISSED INTERVIEW - WHAT NOW?

Hello All

I missed the interview date due heath problems, the date was on january 22, what should I do now?, I was not able to inform them or contact, am I going to have to start all over??? I have still been sick, and probably wouldnt be able to travel within 6 months.

If I start all over, should I send the approval NOA2 with the whole package to make it easier for them?

Please any help is aprecciate

Thanks


You or your Fiance definitely need to contact the Embassy/Consulate immediately. Even if they cannot reschedule, it will help your standing should you need to re-apply. Of course, one of the conditions of the Visa approval is your medical physical... have you already completed that? If you have been that ill, it could be difficult to get your Visa approved though.

Try to contact Embassy though via e-mail at this address: immigrationrio@state.gov

Thanks TimsDaisy. I really dont know if a hardship letter is necessary. I once asked a lawyer who seemed shocked that I thought he would even require a waiver. There's someone in this forum who has the answer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSubject Access

Infopass is not what you need. They are not going to advise you on the proper way to file a hardship letter.

While you have the applicable statute before you, drug crimes are treated differently than other crimes. The length of time since the offense may have some bearing on the decision for a waiver.

I would consult with an attorney and I would have my fiance' order his police report to see exactly what is on there.


Thats the first thing I had him do is get the national police cert. Its got ONE single possession (will be five years in September but the US doesnt acknowledge the Rehabilitation Act) and ONE single breach of the peace stemming from the same incident. Nothing more.
DA BOMBFemale02007-03-08 14:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSubject Access

Are you sure he's VWP ineligible? Have you tried an infopass appt to get more information? It sounds like you have a complicated situation, or at least that you think you have a complicated situation, but you might want to go straight to the source to clear things up.


Tell me more about this infopass appt. please. I was half tempted to pay the $16 to call the consulate advice line. Here's the situation: 5 years ago in September my fiance had a huge party at his house. Well, in the wee hours of the morning after the guests left (or were passed out somewhere) the cops barged open the door because the music was still too loud. They found less than a gram of marijuana. He was never arrested nor did he even go to court but they said he confessed to guilt of possession with a letter. Whatever. Its on his criminal record as a single possession along with a breach of the peace neither which is a crime of moral turpitude. Here's what I keep finding over and over again as I search for information:

"What is a 212(h) waiver?
It is a waiver that allows you to get legal status through a family member even though you have criminal convictions. It can waive the following crimes:

*Crimes of “moral turpitude” except murder or torture

*Multiple criminal convictions

*Prostitution

*only one offense (whether you admitted to the act or were actually convicted) of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana (no other drug crimes can be waived)

What do I need to show to be granted this waiver?

you are the husband, wife, parent, daughter or son of a
U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who would suffer
“extreme hardship” if you were kept out of or forced to leave the U.S. "


AND


"Section 212(h) (crime waiver) provides that:

The Attorney General may, in his discretion, waive the application of
subparagraphs(A)(i)(I), (B), (D), and (E) of subsection (a)(2) and
subparagraphs (A)(i)(II) of such subsection insofar as it relates to a
single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana
if--

"(B) in the case of an immigrant who is the spouse, parent, son, or
daughter of a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted
for permanent residence if it is established to the satisfaction of the
Attorney General that the alien's exclusion would result in extreme
hardship to the United States citizen or lawful resident spouse, parent,
son, or daughter of such alien;"

So as you can see this crime is (barely)waivable BUT - and its a big but (_I_) - it appears he needs a hardship letter from an immediate family relative which he wont have until this child is born in September. Looks like we'll have to wait it out on the K1. :( Gimme that fricken rainbow LisaD...I need it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSubject Access
I've been trying to figure out a way for my guy to get here on a tourist visa while we wait since he's ineligible for the VWP. I stumbled upon an Aussie site that has this info:

"Should you have an ineligibility, in certain cases the consular officer can, at his or her discretion, recommend that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approve a waiver of that ineligibility.

This basically entails requesting permission from USCIS to allow issuance of the visa. Please be aware that this can take some weeks, and that you will need to provide details of your conviction in the form of court records and a National Police Certificate based on a fingerprint check."

Does anyone in the UK know if there's a fingerprint based National Police Certificate in addition to the normal National Police Certificate? I cant find any information on the London Embassy site.

There are so many stories where these immigration lawyers just dont take the time to pay attention to the simple steps of the process. She doesnt know what a "touch" or an RFE is? And she calls herself an immigration lawyer? That's just scary. The reason it works for so many people who file on their own is because we're watching the process like a hawk instead of throwing a bunch of information into the hands of a lawyer who never tells you what an NOA is! My advice for uncomplicated cases is to always do it yourself...you'll save time and money. You should light a fire under her ###.

Mrs BB: life isn't always so black and white, and I'd submit that none of us are in a position to make a "fraud" determination.

If you disagree with the guy's tactics, fine, and say so.
Otherwise it's much like the intent issue ever is---how do we know what was in his heart and mind as they did whatever it was they did do (which we still don't know)?


Its not just about me disagreeing with whatever's in his heart. He carried out a petition with no intentions of marrying her. (this we DO know)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa...can you just marry anyone?

ManunSam, I lean towards agreeing with you. Although it is hard for us who so desperately want to be with our loved ones to feel that compassion for what others may be going through when it directly contradicts what we are trying to do, I DO try and do that.

Take for example the immigration raid on that company in New Bedford, MA. 361 illegal immigrants were arrested.

YES they're here illegally.
YES they're working illegally.
But they're also human beings. They have small children, some breastfeeding infants, who are now with fathers who don't know how to WEAN them. They were sent within a DAY to Texas and New Mexico. There were only 90 that remained in Massachusetts. There is a human tragedy regardless. These workers were fined $15 for every minute over 2 minutes they took for a bathroom break. It was a sweatshop.

I know this doesn't really have anything at all to do with the OPs issues, but I really do try to see the human compassion side of it. I KNOW he's mucking up the system and making it harder for many of us here. I DO realize this. And honestly, I agree with most here that it's really awful what he did and is doing (and I honestly find it hard to believe that he had a real relationship with this ex-fiancee of his since he didn't know about her mental illness). But I can't judge, I am not in that relationship, in his head, or in hers. I think someone who bounces from one man to the next for any reason should re-examine herself, but again, that's really not my place to judge. But, I'M human, too... and I have my own judgements... and sometimes I say them (when maybe I should keep them to myself)...



I think what you've written has much to do with the OPs issues. Yes she's a human being who may be in some kind of trouble back home but he's trying to make everyone happy at the expense of other petitioners. I was in a similar situation where certain aspects of the beneficiary's character didnt surface until a week before the interview. I, too, had my kids to think about first and foremost - but I REVOKED the petition. Sure he was left in a bad situation as he was ready to move right on over to the US for a better life but he's a big boy and can take care of himself.

The OP discovered her mental condition, decided against marrying her, then continued the the visa process to the point of her coming to the US and finding someone new. In that order folks. Now he's wondering if she can ride on that same visa to marry this new person. He wrote his first thread in November...she's got two weeks left of this visit on the visa he petitioned for...so that means she's been in the country since sometime in December. It would be great to whip through Vermont in a few weeks with a smile on my face but when you have to wait months going through California - you cant help but get annoyed because there may be a niceguy petition slowing down the process.

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Days of our Visa Journeys"



Next episode...

This is getting blown out of proportion again...partly do to me I realize but mostly because nobody here knows all the in and outs of this case....I’m no rat and I'm not trying to commit fraud but if there was a way to help her in a legit way I would. We got thought the embassy legit...even though some are quick to use the term "fruad" It wasnt! All the paper submitted to the embassy were quite legit. I’m not an expert at this process..like most and I came here to get some input. Not to be judge but just like last time it seem like there are some that want to read in the worse things they can in to this story without know the whole story. Some here don’t make it easy to speak freely without rebuttal in a negative waythat is forsure. I know Allot here are frustrated and some are just ready to make you the bad guy assuming they know all and what is right....life doesn’t always happen right...we all make mistakes. I’m willing to admit it...I made it here and there.

I didn’t commit fraud at the embassy ether. There doctors there know the problem and the embassy knows about it too but they don’t know all and nether did I at that time of the visa was being issued. I found out everything after the visa was issued already and in the mail. After finding out everything I even went to discuss the issues with doctors here and sure didn’t give me any warm fuzzy feeling. If it were not for the kids I would have married her still!

Also I’m not try to go to jail for her but If I can help her I will. I just came here to ask a simple question...the answer did appear to me to a no brainier but sometimes there are ways that are not obvious but if it means me going to jail of course im not going to do it. I understand her recent pressures there and her reasons for wanting to get somewhere else. I knew she had found someone else too but I didn’t know they were talking about maybe trying to use the visa that was from my petition. Like I said before I plan to call the embassy about this and I already informed right after I read her email that I was sure that wouldn’t work because I was the one who petitioned. I think she will listen to what I say but I will still inform the embassy about it.

So pls all go back to your own problems…I have my answer….thanks…..i understand that most have good intension even if the comments are not….good luck to everyone going through the visa process. I know it’s hard and slow but that’s not my fault.


You typed this:

"It’s easy to say you would have done it different and I didn’t come here to be judged anyway....nobody here is in my shoes or knows the full extent of this problem. The embassy doesn’t ether….if they would have found out everything she would have been totally ineligible for a visa."

and you typed this:

"I thought that if I canceled the petition It would have left her in a bad spot with the embassy (Manila) and she would have even a harder time getting approved if she finds another or even attracting another if they knew what they were up against to get her."

You knew of her condition and decided not to marry her before the visa was issued:

"I have broken things off with my fiancée because of something that became known thought the medical testing during the K1 process that I didn’t know before I started. I allowed the visa to be processed because I do care for this person even though I choose not to marry her because of this."

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa...can you just marry anyone?

Sure! - file the petition for the original USC, marry her, then move to UTAH (thats a state in the US) and you can then marry like 10 women - meanwhile make sure you keep in contact with the first USC wife so when immigration comes around you can pretend you're in love while you adjust for status. Before you know it you'll be a US Citizen yourself and can marry someone else into the country! Simple! :bonk:


Going by his previous posts, he *is* the USC.... :unsure:


Then we have a serious problem. :blink:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresnever met fiance

Has anyone applied for I-129F without meeting the fiance in person if so what were the results[


The K1 requires you to meet he person in the last 2 years prior to submitting your application.

You don't provide much details, but I highly suggest meeting your fiancee to see if you are compatible. Without actually have met, you will not be able to be successful with your petition (unless you have some grave circumstance that will not allow you to see her).

Best thing to do is meet in person.


There are exceptions - like if your long time family customs forbid you to meet in person or if it would prove to be a hardship to meet in person. It states those exceptions on the i-129 instruction page.

Ok I'm asking this without searching for the stats but before California took over the other service centers' loads - wasnt it still like 3 months from Noa1 to Noa2? I filed my first petition in 2005 and I think it was before the all the changes but my petition took only 3 months then.


CSC\NSC\TSC seem to have always processed in a very tight ranges of 90 days +/- exclusive of IMBRA in recent times, (my first petition was 4/16/2004 with notice date of 7/22/2004 from NSC at the time). VSC has always been lighting fast in comparison.


Our country can be so retarded. Im moving to vermont for a little while. I'll post when I get NOA2 in a couple days.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA 1 Attorney receives but not I

Hello all,

My attorney receives my NOA1 but I don't. Is this the normal since I have an attorney or should I get a copy as well? My file has been touched 2 times in 2 days I hope is good for me. Maybe quick approval.

Your thoughts are always appreciated and needed.

Thanks


Your attorney gets the correspondence and if he's any good he'll actually let you know. Keep on him to make sure you get no RFEs....ask him if he even knows what an RFE is. Good luck on your journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Bills Assistance

I've gotten help paying for my medical bills (applying for them to be paid by the hospital) and probably will soon because of a car accodent. i've read that government help can hurt a case. This won't hurt mine will it? I mean because it's not really government assistance. Can someone shed some light?? thanks!


Are you the USC?

well thats good but the DVD proves for certain the dates...HOw am i supposed to prove the dates if i cannot use CD that shows the dates of the pics and the videos?everything else i have are boarding passes and passport stamps...nothing w our names and dates on it...


The proof is that you met in person in the last two years. If they accept pictures with handwritten dates then I would suggest taking still shots of that DVD and turning them into pictures. Thank you technology. The boarding passes and passport stamps confirm the dates you put on them. (I still think the DVD is a great idea.)
