Since you did not reveal your age gap, I can only offer this... I know people with 25 year age gaps that have passed with no raising of any eye brows. The proof is in the evidence of relationship, not the age of the principles. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow to best use the 90 days prior to marriage k-1
Which is why I moved to my fiancée's country and lived her as a real family for one year. Made her feel far more comfortable too. Looking back, I don't see how so many get by with their couple of two or three week vacations (and they are just that, vacations. Hardly real life.) I personally know one guy that proposed after three days on his first visit. Pretty daring, if you ask me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWeird question...
I don't think it would matter where you marry as far as Australian immigration, I'd assume they were like the US and UK and had a marriage visa for that. However that is something you will need to research on a different site as this deals with non-US to US not the other way around. Lots of us have looked into both, so perhaps post on the Australia section.

If you decided to file for her green card while she was here, it would most likely be abandoned when you moved back to Australia FYI. So it's a question of $$ too. If she comes on the K1 or K3 and she DOESN'T file for AOS, then she won't be able to work or leave the US (without filing for another visa). If you do file for AOS, it's basically $1000 for one year of work and travel. CR1 comes with the green card within a few weeks of coming to the US, so perhaps something for you to look into. I don't think there is really a best answer for what to do.

Everyone has give you a good list of what you and your father will need to provide for the I-134. You will need this for the interview in London which won't be until next summer. Him being away will make it more difficult but can easily be done. Just as a little pick-me-up, the UK embassy is a "relatively easy embassy". They basically look at the form, make sure you are above the 125% poverty line for the number in the house plus immigrant and move on. This is not the major sticking point you seem to be afraid it is, just go ahead and file and you will get the forms in order.

Nope, unless NZ immigration has a problem with it. Him coming to the US won't slow down the process either. If he is denied entry, he will have to go home and I don't think he can use VWP (not sure though) but it won't slow down the process for you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureslawyer or not?
Didn't use a lawyer. Was perhaps a bit more stressful, but once it's sent off there's nothing you can really do either way. For most filers, using a lawyer is basically paying someone $1000 to fill out paperwork for you. There are situations with overstays, illegal entry etc. that having a lawyer is useful if not necessary. If you are a fairly standard case, a lawyer is good if you don't have the time to fill out paperwork, are so non-detail oriented that you can't follow basic instructions or are too lazy or nervous to do it yourself. Meeting with a lawyer for a consultation to discuss your case can always be a good idea though, just to make sure there are no problems that could pop. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Oh, and if you do choose to use a lawyer, make sure to get good references for K visas. There are lots of lawyers out there who will take your case, think they can do it and sit on their buts or follow the procedure for a different type of visa and seriously delay your case. MAKE SURE TO GET A QUALIFIED LAWYER FOR A K-1 VISA!

Brazil has a form of I-94 but these are collected by Brazilian customs agents when you leave Brazil.
Everyone clears customs coming and going from Brazil, only upon entry into the U.S., or am I missing something?

Some good questions about this proof stuff, When you applied for the Visa you had to follow strict legal requirements, which you met if your I-797 was approved, now enter the Consulates which have the same strict legal requirements for a denial but resort to a subjective standard ( how many visits, phone calls, one can get the idea) in many of these denials.


A very good point in that the uscis is not the ultimate deciding factor. Although, the visa is only applied for after the uscis approves the I-129f petition (I-797/NOA2). What you have with your NOA2 is merely an approved petition which then enables your fiance to apply for the visa. wink.gif

Subjective standard is a very good way to explain how each Embassy decides whether or not a visa is approved. Those higher fraud posts will most likely look for any red flags they can find to dissprove the relationship (age difference, recent divorce, short courtship...etc, etc) ...and then make you jump through hoops. We can blame the CO, the Country, the system, even people on power trips... but ultimately it is those who have abused the system that make it so much harder for the rest of us.

Therefore, it's very important to provide any and all evidence of a bonafide relationship that you can, especially when dealing with these places. If your relationship is true and you are prepared and diligent in your efforts it's very likely you will succeed in bringing your loved one here...eventually. smile.gif

First I would like to thank you for your interest in this matter, but a I-797 approval is Prima facie evidence that all is legal, if the Consulate finds something after this fact it may issue a denial, something illegal not subjective.


True, though the USCIS's job is jsut to determine if a couple has met in the last 2 years and meets the other requirements. The consulate must determine the validity of the relationship. That job is a much more subjective business than merely deciding if 2 people have met w/in 2 years and can marry. We all know that the consulates SHOULD have the same standard between countries and for each petitioner, but thats not reality. We also know they shouldn't deny based on what's already been approved by USCIS, but that doesn't stop them requiring more evidence of a relationship. The whole process sucks and we just need to play the game. If a person is legit, hopefully they'll succeed and if they aren't hopefully they will get denied.

Yes, the envelope is marked do not open, but sometimes it doesn't come out too clearly, sometimes SO's are nosey and sometimes they just don't pay attention. Knowing my husband, the first thing I did when I found out about the envelope is told him not to open it (5 months before we got it smile.gif ). You get the envelope when they deliver your visa from the embassy. You present it at immigration in the US. It contains all the info about your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresValid Marriage that fulfills K-1 requirements?
Yes, you just show up with your K-1, they do whatever they do and you come on in. You can come in any time as long as you are capable of getting married within 90 days of that. Yes, you can get married the same day as long as the marriage license can be obtained that quickly. The K-1 is a one entry visa, so EVERYONE uses their K-1 on their first (and only) time. I agree that getting married in MI would probably be the easiest for you. You can also have the legal thing and then ask your pastor from Canada to come down and do a religious ceremony later (much safer to fufill the requirements of the K1 before any sort of marriage outside of the country)

Agree with the above poster. At the initial application stage, all you need to do is prove you have met within the last 2 years and are free to marry. It is at the consulate interview that you answer questions about a "real" relationship. You will have plenty of time to visit more and get to know each other better between now and then. Plus considering the short duration of your dating, it will give you both the chance to grow your relationship. Just make sure to document everything (letters, trips, e-mails) so you have it for the interview.

If you want to get your fiancee here.... you CANNOT marry in her country on a K-1 VISA. That's the whole point of the K-1.... to bring your finacee here to marry. That's what the K-1 VISA is for. If you marry first there instead of here on US soil... then it cancels the WHOLE PROCESS & the VISA in not valid. She will not be allowed to enter the states.


I don't think it will be a problem as long as they don't register/apply for a marriage license outside the US. Holding a religious wedding ceremony (w/o a marriage license/certificate) anywhere (either in or outside the US) doesn't define a legal state marriage. As far as I understand, in the US the only thing that proves someone legally married is the marriage certificate which is issued by an American Clerk's office. In other words, you can have as many religious wedding ceremonies/parties with many men/women as you want (provided that you are able to do so yes.gif ) and the US doesn't consider it a valid marriage until you apply and obtain a marriage certificate.
Anyway don't take my words for it. You need to double-check with your state laws.
Peter


Don't know if I misunderstood, but in the US you aren't considered married unless you have a license. However in other countries, religious ceremonies etc. even without a license can be considered valid and therefor would invalidated the K1. And if a marriage is considered valid in another country, the US recognizes it (as long as it isn't against the law here, ie gay marriage or polygamy). Not saying the PI is that way, but certain countries are and anyone considering doing a religious ceremony in their home country needs to very closely look into the laws of their country.

To the OP, a K-1 holder has 6 months (I believe) to enter the US. Where they go in between the time they get the visa and the date it expires doesn't matter (unless you enter the US and use the visa of course!) SO yes, she can go home. She can do a world tour if she wants smile.gif

Im not exactly at the K-1 stage. I intend to go to the Philippines Sept 2-Nov 11, 2009....if our beloved politicians dont wreck the US economy further.

I am now trying to do double work here, collecting, collating and correlating data for the trip...and...for the K-1.

I noticed several items i need to clarify:

1. I cant make more then one trip...due to funds, health, and the economy. The nearest UCIS center is St. Louis, about 4 hours from here. (not exactly a fun trip). Obivously, I need to save for her trip as well, plus all the funding. (Comments?) That doesn't matter. All forms are submitted via the mail. You can't go there to submit anything. Besides K-1s are submitted to Cali or Vermont.

2. I noticed something about fingerprinting...and as i am retired and disabled...from the Veterans Affairs system (no less) with a Level 2 security, I already have my prints on file with the FBI. What is with this fingerprinting thing? (Comments?) You don't get fingerprints, she does. When she gets here and you file for AOS, she will get a biometrics appt to go and do this.

3. Hopefully she will pass her CPA there by the time I arrive. Obviously when here, she needs another review for USA standards....no problem. A tax preparer job here should solve the 'burden' issue. HOWEVER, she may not be working at the time of my visit, due the the CPA review. (Comments?) Your finances matter. They don't care if she works, doesn't work, is a millionaire, is a pauper. This isn't an employment visa, so her ability to work doesn't matter.

4. We chat all the time on her cell phone SMS...i saved all the files. (Sometimes 3-4 times a day). Do i need to print and submit all this? After all, I have a weight limit of about 30 lbs for any trip. Downloading to one of their pc's is a snap...will they help at all? (Comments?) No, you don't need to submit it all. For the initial K-1, you need evidence you have met within 2 years (ie passport stamp, reciepts etc) and that you are free to marry. Most people also send in a FEW pictures, e-mails etc. to show they have a relationship. The real burden is on her at the interview to provide that info

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. HOWEVER, I noticed coments regarding phone calls. Do i need to supply telephone statements for every phone call? This is, to say the least, cumbersome, and may be almost impossible unless I start immediately. Exactly how much of this do they expect? I save the sent e-cards. She does not have a pc except for cafe. We both are on a strict budget. Unfortunately, getting her a pc is impossible at the moment. (Comments?) No, you don't need to submit every call. You want to paint a picture that you are a loving couple who is marrying for reasons other than immigration benefit. Send enough evidence to do this, but 1000's of pages isn't needed or wanted
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. I read something about a $930 fee for some kind of Homeland Security/TSA issue. Is this for real? Please tell me I read this incorrectly!!!!!!! This is a back-breaker when the USD may tank and crash. (Comments?) Guessing this is the AOS fee you mean. Add 80 to that as well for biometrics. You will need to pay that after she is here and you are married. K-1 is in the 400's plus visa fee, medical etc. Figure 500-700 plus travel costs

7. Is there some kind of requirement of Joint Account(s): Here in the states? There in the Philippines? Both? Neither? If so, how much? (Comments?) Nope. At the AOS interview you will need this.

8. Finally, (whew) DID I MISS ANYTHING? headbonk.gif (Comments?) You seem a bit mixed up about the K1 and the AOS process. Focus on K1 for now (read the guides they are great!) and once you have that packet submitted, then look at the AOS stuff. All you need to know now about AOS is you must marry within 90 days of her entry and it will be over 1000$. Good luck! WHen you get to filling ot paperwork feel free to ask about anything you don't understand and a lot of ppl post a list of what they are submitting to make sure they don't forget anything.

2009-2010 should be an interesting test of survival for both of us...but struggle brings us together...albeit at 9000 miles away.

This site is a treasure. Without the information, i would be totally confused. USCIS documentation is almost indecipherable. wacko.gif

Thanks.

Where either of you when you file the I-129f doesn;t matter. The non-USC will have to be in their home country (or current country of residence) for their interview, but their local at filing isn't important. Nothing is going to speed this up.

I'm sorry she hurt you, but that doesn't mean you can do what you are proposing. I know there are people who have filed for a K1, came to the US, didn't get married and returned within 90 days and then successfully applied for a 2nd K1. You can come here and talk to immigration and they will tell you the exact same thing. Your new girlfriend needs to petition either a spousal or fiance visa for you. You can't use this K1 to marry her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere To marry?
I see 3 options for you:
K1: Quickest option to get you in the US. You get married AFTER receiving the visa once you get to the US and then file for green card. You can file for temp. travel and work permission and that will take about 3 months after filing to get.

K3: You marry in the US or abroad and then file for the visa. Once you get the visa, you come to the US and file for green card, but you have travel permission the whole time.

CR-1: Marry in the US or abroad and then file for the visa. This takes longer typically than either of the K's, but upon entry to the US they send you your green card within a few weeks. Nothing extra to file for.

A lot of us choose K1 so we can be with our SO faster, but if you wish to get a green card upon arrival, CR-1 is your best bet

1) You make all statements and answer all questions truthfully

2) You provide documents of "strong ties" if and when asked


For documents, provide whatever is needed for you to enter the US, ie passport for VWP or visitors visa. They wont have a record of your K1 in their computer. There is absolutely no law that states you can't visit during the K1, in fact the UK embassy clearly states that you can visit at the discretion of the immigration official.

Sending the info isn't going to hurt your petition, but it might not get to your petition. Not having met within the last 2 years is grounds for denial of the I-129f, but you made reference to meeting after the 06 evidence, so they hopefully will give you an RFE. Whoever told you what to send and not to send clearly has no idea what they are doing. Get your money back if you paid anything. Anyone knowledgable with the process would know to send in the most recent evidence of meeting to get the 2 year requirement in, not the furthest away evidence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiance/ee letter of intent
Letter of intent is short, stating you plan on marrying within 90 days etc like is posted here. How you met blah blah blah is for the I-129f question where it asks how did you meet. You can make it as long or as short as you want.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresArgentine and US couple HELP!!!
K1 or K3. Those are the 100% legal options in your case. You have immigrant intent so using a tourist visa is not the appropriate or legal path for you. Decide if you want to marry here (US) or there and which is fastest right now and then send in the paperwork as soon as you can get it filled out.

Welcome to Visa Journey

Have you created an account at the USCIS web site to see if your petition has had any activity ?
Normally if you are missing some document they send a request for further evidence ( RFE) but if you are missing so much I am not sure. The paper you originally got has your case number on it. I hope some else knows a bit more



I have not create any account with USCIS web site , do u think that will help .thnkz soo much


It won't necessarily speed anything up, but you will know if they look at your petition and any action that is taken on the petition (ie know when they want more info so you can get it ready before it comes in the mail)
