K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfamily Court wavier ?
1st, I SURE hope everything works out and its good to see you are willing to move there if it can't. Head over to the waiver forum and see if anyone over there knows anything. Is your lawyer familiar with waivers of this sort? If not, look around and see if you can find someone more familiar with your type of situation. Good luck and sorry I cant offer any advice.

Hello everyone,

did not feel that I was able to file my K1 petion on my own, so I retained a lawyer. My question is I have a civil Family court fact finding hearing from 1991, pertaning to child neglect and sexual child abuse, to make a long story short, me and My wife were separated at the time and Both my 4 year old son and 10 year old daughter wanted to stay and live with me. my wife of who I was separated from had called into child services Complaining that she feels I have done something to our daughter, so they took my daughter from me and left my son living with me, now here where the story gets better I never admitted to any thing in court so the Judge determined that the court would send me to 3 counsiling sesstions, After the third Session the counseler felt that nothing happned and she would suggest to the court for full family counsling. and that is what we all did a year later we were all reunited as a family and lived together until 2004, and that was when I filed for divorce... The women that I'm engaged to Knows the past, I even translated the court documents into spanish so she could read them , I have not a thing to hide..And she is Ok with it, The lawyer feels that do to the Adam Walsh Law my K1 and both K2 visa would be almost Imposibile to obtain, he said we could inclued a wavier, and i write a letter saying why my visa should be approved, But he said it will be a miricle if it was approved....... I guess at this point what are my choices ? will a CR1 be better ? Or do I just give My american life up and move to her Country and start my life over... I'm not listed on any sex offender registery, I own my own home, the same job for years , active in my Community..I very much adore My Fiancee and her 2 girls, I'm confused as to what to do ?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDelicate (and confusing) situation...

Get married way before the Visa expires so it does not cause a problem. Have a judge do it. THen have the real wedding when you want. But do yourselves a favor and don't bunch all of this stuff up together.

It's like some friends of mine got married on New Years..well thats fine....we go to the weddding, but every year an anniversary party on New Years? I dont thUnk so...its my news years too.

:)


I agree. Have the wedding when you want, but it might be a good idea to get technically married earlier. Dont leave it till the last second. Congrats!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTo get married while there's pending K1 application?!?!
True, however it SPECIFICALLY states she is filing for a K3. I dont think its unfair of us to expect the reader to check the visa type.

OP, on the side of the message it will say which visa the person is applying for. Check this and if its not the one you are applying for, dont stress about what they are asking.

They redo you petition to fit what they want. It gets put into a folder they have there. If you send a binder its just going to get thrown out. If the info is there and readable, thats all you need to worry about. I just used big paperclips to seperate sections. No punch holes etc. for us!

I think this is a situation where a consult with a lawyer would be very helpful. Mind, an experienced immigration lawyer with knowledge of FAMILY based immigration (specifically with the K1 and K2's). Good luck! Nothing simple is ever easy :)

Congrats on your upcoming citizenship! Here's the guide VJ has for filing K1: http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k1guide I dont understand what you mean can you file K1 from India? You must send the paperwork to USCIS, but you can be in India and mail it from there.

Some people write a few sentances to fit in the box and other write several pages. I wrote 3 paragraphs. The first outlined our first meeting and the other 2 gave dates and places of our other meetings and engagement. Nothing sentimental etc, just dates and places.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresComlications with Green card lottery/ getting married
Not sure on the greencard lottery (though I wouldnt think it would be too much of an issue) however you can't file for a K1 if you are married. You would need to do K3 or CR1. If you are already in the US as a student you might be able to just directly file for you greencard and not bother with the spousal visas. Either way, you dont get married and file K1 or you get married and file for K3 or CR1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes Divorce need to be final before applying? + other question
No, that's not in conflict with the info. To enter the US WITH the intent to stay = visa fraud. So your fiance entering knowing he plans on staying would be a no-no. If he entered without that intent and could prove it at the AOS interview, then it could be a possibility. From what you've said though, that would not be the case for you two. He can still visit during the process but he would need to leave the US and come back with the K1.

I'm from OH too. I listed Nebraska as my filing local but it got sent to cali. Everyone's does. Ignore the processing times on the USCIS website for the most part since they are the last cases being processed, not the average. Our timelines tend to be closer to what to expect.

If his parents or other close family/friends are willing, just co-sponsor. Its the EXACT same form you have to fill out (I-134) for the embassy. I just filled this out today and it is the easiest form to do so far. Just co-sponsor and dont worry.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs a K1 the best option?
Congrats on your news! At least you have some GREAT evidence of a relationship ;) I still dont get why you are waiting to file. You still own your house and have a business so you can show evidence of going home... We filed through Nebraska and UK and we are going to be about 5-6 months from filing to getting here and we have gone really quickly through London compared to others

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs a K1 the best option?
Congrats on the possible pregnancy. I am also filing through Nebraska and my SO is from the uk. 1st off, you can visit while the visa is being processed. My SO visited once and brought lots of evidence he was going home. However he wasn't even asked for it, but definitly bring it if you do come visit.

If I were you, I'd file K1 since it is usually faster than a spousal visa. Right now, we are looking at around 6 months from filing until he gets his interview. So in your situation I'd file immediately and not wait since they wont speed your processing up due to pregnancy. Assuming nothing slows down majorly and you file everything promptly, you should be together by the time the baby comes. If one of you can take lots of time off work, you could stay with each other for either 3 months in the US or 6 in the UK. I totally understand wanting to be with her, I know my SO would do everything possible to be here :) However as already mentioned, entering and getting married and filing for AOS without a K3 or K1 is a BAD idea. You can't enter with the intent to marry and stay without one of those visa's. Good luck on the possible baby and the visa!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa and EAD at the same time??
:lol: You can enter through JFK and get a temporary work permit good for 90 days. Just get married and file AOS and EAD soon after and there shouldnt be too long (if at all) where you dont have a valid work permit. Pretty sure you can't file EAD while the K1 is processing.

I didnt get one, but from what I've heard of others with RFE, they see the status change online. In addition, there *should* be a touch (though anything's possible with USCIS...) I'd say if there are no touches, no change of status and the people at VSC said you dont have one, I think you dont have one! It sucks you are nearing CSC timelines though! Good luck!

Seriously! If you think its going to get better with a different president, I think you're in for some dissapointment. Legal immigration is clearly NOT a huge priority for the government.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterent Relationships
These exceptions are VERY rarely given, and it seems your circumstances dont fit in with those. What you can do is get everything ready for submission and take the parts he needs to sign with you when you go visit. Then you can have him sign the papers while there, take lots of cheesy pics, have an amazing time, come home, photocopy it all and send it right in. Good luck, we all know how ridiculously expensive this whole horrible thing is, but in the end it will be worth it :)

I do agree with the other posters. You gotta meet first. Even though there is the exception. Your visa process will most likely be much faster and less costly if you travel to meet in person for at least once.

I didnt look at your timeline, but I'm guessing you were approved months ago and never got the paper copy? That happened to lots of us with May approvals. It just means USCIS can't print out NOA2's in a timely fashion. Make sure to hold on to this as you will need it for AOS. I just got mine in the mail a few weeks ago and we are interviewing tomorrow...

We have almost the exact same timeline! We are figuring he will get his interview late July/early August, which is after your set date. If I were you, I would call my congressman and explain the situation and see if they are willing to help (which I dont want you to do, cause I'm before you :) ). If that doesnt work, see what you can do to move the date. When I've talked to vendors, they've been very understanding after I explain the situation. Our hall will let us move the date within a year without penalty, etc. Call around and see what they are willing to do for late August, September or October. Be flexible and hopefully everything will work out!
