Well I found Jennys I-94 but how do you fill out the SSN form? What do you put for her name and citizenship. We are not married yet so what name should I use?? Do I put "other" for citizenship? Any examples of filing out this form would help. Thanks alot, Kirk and Jenny. :wacko:

Thanks for the suggestion on shipping things, that was another question I was going to ask in the future. I want to make sure Jum can take all of the things that she wants. I would need a whole cargo ship to ship the things I would want to bring if I was moving to Thailand. :lol: Good thing too, my mom lives in Wilmington, NC, so the destination would be very convenient. Yep, one more Thai lady coming to NC, we should get together sometime. I'm looking forward to the exciting times to come!

So you finally did it CJ. Congratualtions. Been so busy showing Jenny the USA I havn't been online much. Glad your getting all your stuff over here no problem. We just brought clothes in some suitcases so no problem. Jenny is fitting in very well with all my friends and everybody loves her cooking. Can't wait for the springtime when everything turns green. She thinks everything is dead now cause it's all brown. Well have a good one, Kirk and Jenny

So your current wife went to the local amphur and got a statement. Do you remember what this statement is called in thai? Also, what office for the amphur did you go to? I believe there's a records office near my fiance's parent's mooban that might give out these types of certificates but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help..




Hey ufkenmill, the local amphur will know what to do for the statement. My wife got one for more evidence to prove she was single and the embassy accepted it no problem. Good luck, Kirk and Jenny

No problem with food here either. She even likes mexican food cause you can make it hot. Now she's putting habaneros in our food and dipping hot dogs in salsa! Buffalo chicken wings were also a big hit. I think Ive created a monster! The next thing we will try is smoked BBQ beef with spicy bbq sauce. Let you know how that works out! Later, Kirk. :D

Hey Kirk,
Looks like you are in my home state Oklahoma. Ever heard of OOloagh Oklahoma?? Where I graduated high school.

Hey Tiksman, yes been to Oolagah lake also. I live in the tulsa area now. I see your in Texas i think. How you like this warm winter? Good time to bring my sweetie here huh? keep in touch, Kirk.

My fiance is coming through SFO Feb 12. Can someone give me some idea of POE in SFO. What to do, what line to go through, which form to fill out... I see there are 2 I-94 form. White card is I-94 and the green one is I-94W. She can't read english and speak very very little. Thanks


Look for a passport line with VISA above it. If not, just go through the visitor line, which will be very long. Better have lots of time between flights. Don't forget to pick up your luggage after you go through the passport line and recheck it after you get through customs. You will need the white I=94 form in the passport line, and the blue customs form after you get your luggage. Good luck! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew job 2 weeks before Interview
Hello everyone!

I've received a job offer and I'm sure I'm going to take it. My first day would be probably March 19th. My fiance, Dave, has his interview March 28th for the K1 visa. Obviously we aren't into lying, so what about if they ask what I do? Should he tell them I just got a new job? If so, will I need to gather more info about my job? I would think they would want to know that I make the same or more. Should he just say I am still at the same place that I have been? I know this is something pretty simple, but with as long as this process is, I don't want ANYTHING to go wrong.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShould I do it?
I know my fiance visited me even after we were in the system, the file had already been sent to London Embassy and everything. He took all of his ties to the UK, just in case, but the guy never even bothered looking at them. They just let him come on through like nothing else was different. I know it's a scary thought, I was SOOO afraid I'd get a call from him in NY saying they wouldn't let him in, but everything was fine. If it is possible for your fiance to visit you, perhaps that would be less stressful for you guys, but if not, I'd probably still go ahead and risk it. Most likely, you won't get turned away as long as you have your ties to the country. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOut of the Blue.....
There is no guarantee about this, but perhaps she's just really scared? It's a huge move and like others have said, she probably just got to thinking about is he the one, can this work out type of stuff.

I know my fiance loves me very much, but he's had his moments when he's told me maybe we should just be friends, he couldn't do this, couldn't leave his family. And yes, he's even said that he didn't care that much for me. The last time, I gave him his space, I didn't text or call him, which about killed me. But he wanted space, so thats what I gave him. 3 days later, he text me all worried about me. We've been great ever since.

Relationships are hard, couples have their problems. People are scared about commitment.. try adding 5,000 miles difference between you. The commitment to be together, its not just moving into someone else's house. It's their world. They have to basically leave behind everything they have ever known.

Anyways, I really hope this is all that has happened with you and your fiancee. If you guys make it through this, you'll just become a stronger couple. Good luck with everything.

By the way, the $1,000 i gave to my Fiancee was for expenses for her and her son to go to Moscow for the visa interview and had nothing to do with sex, as TimsDaisy applied. She lives in Siberia and was going to have to spend at least 1-2 nights in Moscow for medical & interview.

I want to apologize to anyone who was offended by my update post. I had just emailed my Fiancee' and was very angry and hurt. I do not wish anyone a bad marriage, ever. My apology does not apply to TimsDaisy, who i thought his remarks about whores and Johns was completely insensitive, and poor in taste. If you agreed with his post, then i am not apologizing to you either.

Lisa,
Not sure what "Feel for your stones" means. I must have missed that movie or book, Please explain.

I have read "Men are from Mars, Ladies are from Venus" and i try to communicate more now than i did before i read it. My mind is not made up, as i said before, the replies have given me lots to think about. Earlier today, i decided to take Turboguy's suggestion and maybe go see her one more time to try to work it out & decide whether she really cares about me or not. But i am waiting on an email from her to see if she cares anymore. The last thing she told me last night was "i will email you soon with a decision", the decision being whether she wants to go forward with the visa. My gut feeling right now is to forget the whole thing, and forget women altogether. But who in "MY Hell" wants to go through life lonely and by themselves. Though i know i would probably be better off, i don't want to do it. So i don't have ANY answers. Though my mind says "forget her & move on", my heart has a mind of its own that says "hey you idiot, i think i am in love with this woman and i don't want you to forget her". So, what to do, what to do, what to do!!!! I am on the fence falling in both directions.

Wow!!!! How many would suffer foot in mouth if she were to tell her side.


Yes, everyone should realize that i am only telling my side of the story and she does not have the opportunity to tell hers. Yes, i realize i am forcing the relationship. But i do care about this woman very much, and, because of the language barrier, i feel i do not completely understand her feelings toward me. She started out the perfect match and only after our problems in St. Pete was their any problem at all. She came into the St. Pete meeting with a great attitude and only after our discussion on the 4th day did it turn bad. I blame myself for most of those problems because i did not understand her feelings toward me, which i still believe were honest and good, except for the dress she wanted. And that problem i blame on her not realizing the value of a dollar because she grew up in a small town. She is poor and was looking forward to coming to St. Pete to buy a new dress. I don't want to defend her too much, but i assure all of you that she does have a side to the story that none of you know about. I feel this woman is a good woman and not in it for my money. I do appreciate most people's comments because it gives me things to consider and think about, however, i do feel some of you are making harsh comments when you do not know all the facts.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed HELP with your opinions!!!!!!

I think you need to realize that she is likely giving up a job and disrupting her life a lot. A prenup can be good for both of you. I know one Ukarainian gal who came her on a K-1, married, divorced a year later and they each spent $ 20,000 in legal fees including about $ 5,000 each argueing about who owned an $ 8.00 snow shovel. With a good prenup you can save the arguements and the legal fees.

She got to stay in the USA and came out with about $ 30,000 in her divorce settlement and a lawyer bill for $ 20,000. He lost his house over it and a lot more in addition. The only winners in a divorce are the lawyers.


I totally agree with your comments. I was to meet with the attorney tomorrow, Friday, to draw up the agreement but decided to call her through an interpreter to see how serious she really was. She told me about some concerns she had and we had a very nice discussion. I called the attorney to say i was going to make some changes in the agreement that i hope will help her feel more comfortable, yet she is definitely not going to get much from me because i don't have much for her to get. I believe her concerns are valid and I believe the relationship is going to work out, maybe even stronger than i had hoped for. Language has certainly been a problem but i believe things are headed up hill again and will be stronger because of our problems.

"Something is not right with your relationship with your fiancee as others have stated. Please don't mistake LUST for LOVE.

My fiancee is from VN a third world country. She adamantly says no to me when I tell her I want to send money to VN and support her with the expenses for the K-1 Visa and our wedding. Instead, she went out and found a job to support herself and not become a burden to me. She is only 20 years old......

I would send her money in a heart beat but also respect her independence."

Sounds like you found a jewel. Good for you & hopefully she has found one also. Good luck and thanks for the reply.

i have not posted often, but as a woman i feel the need to respond to your post.

unfortunately for you, i don't this woman really wants to be with you. i strongly advise that you get out of this situation before you are out more money & more heartache... the fact that she left 2 days earlier than planned says a lot about her. I'm quite sure you spent a lot of money going there to see how and this is how she treats you??? of course, she is going to call back & be nice. she realized that she might be throwing away her "meal ticket" to the US. The age difference also bothers me a lot. I absolutely do not mean any disrespect to you, but I am a 42 year old woman & I would NEVER think of dating a 61-year-old man. Does this woman have children?? Does she want children?? If she is acting this way now before she gets what she really wants, a visa, how in the world is she going to act when you bring her over here??? I understand that you want to be generous to her & give her money & buy her things, but you need to ask yourself would she want to be with you if you weren't doing those things.. I think you seriously need to evaluate this "relationship". take a step back and take a very, very good look. I do not know this woman, but judging from your post i honestly think she's an opportunist & she is in this for all the wrong reasons. If she had any integrity she would have given you your money back when you asked for it & she absolutely would not have been asking you to buy her things. please, please think twice, three times & four times about what you're doing & don't waste anymore of your money. if you really feel the relationship is important to you, go visit her & don't give her ANY money or buy her ANYTHING & see how interested in you then... that will certainly be a test to see if she's interested in you, or if she's more interested in $$ and what you can offer her... It would be much easier to get out now than after you were married to her.

Good luck to you.. You're in my thoughts.


Thanks for all your opinions and thoughtfulness. I would like to add that i do have a copy of her divorce papers which i submitted one with the I-129F. But the copy i have is illegible & USCIS says i have to translate it into English so i asked her for a more legible copy which she has not sent. She is going to school full time & i wonder why if she plans to come to USA, she just enrolled for two months. She has not beat me out of any money to date and when i visited her in 11/06, she was very frugal with my money. But when i met her in 02/07, she seemed like a spender wanting a $1,200 dress. She settled for a $300 blouse, which is still a lot of money, but she was not happy. I also know she doesn't love me yet, but she has a 14 y.o. son and said she wanted a Dad for him, so i am hoping she will learn to love me. Thought i would add some more infor, it is hard to tell the whole story in one post. thanks again everyone, i am needing some encouragement to continue. But i am coming to realize that it may be a lost cause.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed HELP with your opinions!!!!!!
Reading the post in some topics, i decided to ask for help. I met my Fiancee 6 months ago on the internet. She was wanting badly to come to the USA. I was very lonely and looking for romance and companionship but i am 62, she 41. With that said, i met her in Russia for 4 days in 11/06. We hit it off. I met her again in 02/07. We talked, i gave her $1,000 in cash for expenses. She later asked some questionable questions & said she wanted a marriage agreement. I went to bed, she slept on sofa. I am laying in bed thinking this is our 1st sex & because i am a diabetic & don't perform very good, she is unhappy, plus i didn't buy her a $1,200 dress she wanted so she is unhappy, plus i am a diabetic, etc. I decided i should ask for the $1,000 back until i was more sure about her. So i got out of bed & got my money back. The next morning she left 2 days early so i asked for my ring back but she wouldn't give it. When i got home, i emailed & apologized, she accepted, but has been very cool since. Currently, i am needing a copy of her divorce papers for RFE1 but she hasn't faxed a copy to me in 3 days. In your opinions, was i wrong for asking for my money back when she wouldn't come to bed? Should i continue to try to make this work when i am wondering if she cares?

As MrsDarby stated, it can seem quite overwhelming. We had started looking into it ourselves and had almost decided to hire a lawyer. As luck would have it, Danette found VJ. After reading through the guides and FAQs, it did not appear to be so difficult. The people on here are as helpful, for the most part, as you will find ANYWHERE. As most have stated, UNLESS you have already had some kind of immigration issue..ie: overstay, criminal record..etc... it is well within most peoples capability to do on thier own, providing they have the time and patience.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA little help needed!
Giggles, If you plan on trying to come across and stay throughout most of the wait, I would suggest renting a storage building for your belongings. That is what Danette and I did and it worked fine. Just be careful not to try and carry too much stuff with you. The officer at the POE might figure that you are planning on staying from that point on, instead of waiting for your visa. If they believe that, they WILL deny you entry. Your name will be red flagged and you might not be allowed to visit until your visa comes through. So caution is required.
Not trying to scare you, I am just pointing out the facts.
Feel free to PM me if I can be of any help to you.
