Be Very Careful about that. Some members will say thats fine. OTHERS WILL NOT.
The FINAL Divorce Decree should be about Everything. Assets split, who pays what, who gets what.
Take that Document to the Court Clerk and get it Dated, A Seal, and The Clerks Signature or Initials in INK.
Anything less is Another guess
AVOID A COPY...

Wao, what a stupid mistake we made!
we went trought away ten time of any document, at any moment we didn't see that the document was not not the right one. after reading lot of post here about the exigence of the USCIS about the final absolute decree, i looked after what we sent and bingo it was not the final divorce decree.

yes they already cashed the check and sent a NOA1 to the my US adress fiancé.

When you obtain a Copy from the Courthouse. BE SURE it has a NEW SEAL, Stamp, and Date Signed by the County Clerk or it just another RFE. OK IN INK. NO COPIES. Make a Copy or 2 for yourself as well.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer! the problem is that my fiancé the US citizen petitioner is really straight on time. as I read the RFE is synonyme of almost one additional month to wait. and our case is a big complicated and we don't have enought time. so is there any possibility we can send the final divorce decree before receiving the RFE?

Hi VJ family, i'm new in the forum, and i wanted first to say thank you to all of you for all the informations and assistance provided.
here is our situation, we just sent a petition for a k1 visa fiancée and 3 weeks after that we found that the divorce decree was not the right one. so we are pretty sure we will get a RFE for the absolute finale divorce decree. so we really need your advices, should we send the right final divorce decree now or what?

(sorry for my english, i'm french-speaking)

I'm Courious. 3 weeks ago? Did they Cash your Check?
The Original 129-F Petition is a ONE-SHOT-DEAL. Its right or wrong. If wrong you can't change it.
It's like taking a Drug Test and Peeing in a cup. Once you Pee'd and signed your name you can't change it.
Like waiting for a result. I would expect a RFE but, all is fixable. (Unfortunately, they can take months now to send for correction, there is nothing you can do)
Good luck

Scheduling an interview before NOA2

No one has scheduled an interview before receiving their approval notice (I-797) NOA2, in fact you can't even schedule an interview until after NVC receives the packet and it gets an embassy case number assigned to you. Even then you could end up in AP and won't be able to get your interview scheduled.

Now many have scheduled their interviews before receiving the letter from NVC with their case number as they call NVC and get their case number and proceed from there without the letter.

Agreed! Even though you maynot have a letter (Hard Copy) NVC call give you a Case Number. Then you can proceed..... Nothing can really be done with a NOA1. Give the NOA2 time to even happen.

for i-129f application, skype logs and email are not relevant... they only care about solid proof of meeting in person in prior 2 years. Save new logs and emails for interview, where you show proof of relationship.

Agreed with Thomas.. Irrelevant for a 129-F. However, e-mails and some history for your Petition does help to include. Not a problem really. They don't require a 100 page book of e-mails.

Arrest - Domestic Violence - Dropped Charges

Yes, I used to believe that anyone that was arrested was guilty until it happened to me. It was so unfortunate but lesson learned. The child was on the wrong path. I bought her a nice car, helped her get her grades from D's to A's by doing her homework with her, got her a job, I hugged her every night before bed and told her I loved her. I took her to counceling, got her out of jail when she got caught shoplifting, I was ready to send her to college before this happened. Instead I end up arrested due to her lies and then once the charges are dropped, I end up moved out of my house for 10 months to sue her mom to get out. I was scared for my safety of the little liar. I even put up security cameras around my house in case she came back.

The result is I will never help someone else's child due due to the risk. I will not marry another woman with children. I am a great guy but I will not help another step child. There will never be another one. It's a shame. This child got me arrested on lies and that didn't hurt me as much as it hurt someone else's child that I could have helped. That will never happen today, never.

I can understand how you fell about how you tried to make this work, but children have been taught otherwise in schools, friends, counsulars to put the screws to a parent. Whether step or biological. I would say that your bad experience would not mean others will agree to never Marry or have a relationship with a Future Spouse just because she has children. Not everyone is the same. So it is Incorrect to judge a single child and mother based upon what you encountered. Remember, you made your own bed.
You should be all/in/all glad about the outcome of this and No Convictions for the Trama you went through. Put it behind you and don't loose heart. Tim

I would think NO. It should'nt affect a past K-1 that never went though.
USCIS has a record of this past engagement and thats what I assume they will look at.
This is not solid advice since I don't know exactly how far they were in the process with this last engagement. But, if all is canceled and your both free to marry. Then Go Onward.

How soon can I file for a new K-1 visa after separating from my fiancee

I explained the reason for the denial in one of my posts. There was an address mistake made on the papers. There were two different addresses for me that did not match because I have two different addresses I am a resident of one country but I work and live in another country... (I am an expat). They needed only one address and we put two.....that was the reason why they sent the package back to redo it. I do not know if they consider it as a denial....

I did'nt read your other posts. sorry. But, you don't need to worry about old packages do you. You now have a different Fiance and know your address for the new G-325-A for yourself.

Your K-1 is a Finace/Fiancee Petition. They are the same. You were denied from what appears the USCIS Level and never sent to the Consulate. But, there is a record of Denial. You were both denied: The Petition and a K-1. They are the same. Clarification OK.
Do you even know the reason for Denial?

I do agree with you. I was thinking it myself that we should not file so soon. In one of my posts i did explain how the story happened.
Just wanted to ask a question what did you mean by K1 denied? At the consulate? What if our papers have never made it to the consulate? They were sent back once because of a mistake in my addresses (I am an expat). Yes the petition was denied...but not K1. We never made it to the consulate interview stage. Do you know if there is a record of previous petitions?

Thank you and congratulations on your twins

It is a remarkable coincidence. Another remarkable coincidence is that they both live in the same state. Hopefully it will be like you said.

I would strongly look at Leathernecks Reply.
I as well, do Not Agree. There is a Record of a Previous K-1 Petition. Moreover, look at how close they are together and YOU are the Beneficiary if I read correctly. (Fiancee Visa Request(s)
Additionally, you state: I don't even know if the First Petition was Cancelled and shortly have plans for a new Petitioner. (That would appear in such a short time-span you were in communication with both of them, you think?) Both Men from the US..
You state: No NOA1/NOA2. but you say I don't really know.
The advice to Have your USC File a new Petition is unanswered since you don't know really anything what happened to the First One.
Seems, you are guessing and hopefuly it will be in your benefit. You need a few answers from USCIS. What Happened to the First Petition and was it Cancelled?
Then, you will have better ground.
And, as far as me agreeing with Leatherneck. USCIS does have a Record. Having 2 Petitions so close together is a Red Flag.
Good Luck to you.....

Is this serious? The fiance knowingly broke the law and doesn't care that breaking the law is what criminals do and he was caught and now wants the ones who caught him (the US) to just say, "Okie dokie. I guess that since you intentionally demonstrated that you can't be trusted or even try to be respectful of our country, come on in."

On a related note, how much did that cost him? Wouldn't it have been cheaper for him to go visit you? Or was the plan for him to not get caught and just live here illegally forever?

Just out of curiosity Tim/mav, why shouldn't the OP have gotten a NOA1 in the first place?

See Petitioners (OP's) comment, then review Timeline. Just seems odd.
NOA1 takes only few weeks to get. The Deportation occured months ago.
On the Forms somewhere it asks. (129-F or 325) has the beneficiary ever been to the States. I'm ALMOST Sure of that. I'm not looking at the Forms.

If in fact there is. You never should have never recieved a NOA1 in the first place. Was it the Beneficiaries 325. I'm not sure. ? Somewhere, I think. It does ask if the beneficiary has ever been to the US. If so, what was written.

Hi all,

I filed the I-129F for my fiancee just recently. My concern is this: he attempted to enter the US illegally in Oct 07. Border patrol detained him and sent him back to Mexico within a day or so. He signed a document (but doesn't remember what it stated), was fingerprinted and photographed. Does anybody know how this will affect my petition? Will he be punished/banned for this? Thanks...

Yes, It will have a serious affect on the Petition. He knowingly broke the law by crossing the Border and I have an idea that USCIS has an idea he was headed for you. Moreover, they would ask: Where you aware of the plan?
Be real. You know there No Chance Now for a stupid mistake. Just my thoughts. I'm not an Attorney.

Signs of Baiting are here. Have her meet an American.
The OP is asking for Improper Advice. And some of you are giving it.
The OP should be more concerned about about own Petition at this time. I have an Idea that the Petitioner/Beneficiary talk about this and are looking for any means to get her here in the States. Not the correct method.
The OP should realize that if the future bride is going to be homesick and will do anything to make her happy and even jepordize the posibilty of THEIR Visa together. Call it Quits. (If its that bad, then Mom should'nt leave) Theres nothing wrong with that.
I just don't think the proper method of her getting into the US is to tell her to advertise Availability on a website to a USC.

what if i dont know exactly when i worked past jobs

Unless you are like me and very ####### and update your resume at every job change or note when you moved, you are going to have to give the information as best as you can remember. Unless you know you are going to need the exact dates in the future, most people don't keep exact records. As long as you are close I think you will be okay. For those dates that ask for an exact day of the month along with the year and you only know month and year, I would put the first of the month unless you know it is closer to a specific date. If you happen to have your paystubs, you can use those to get the dates. Or maybe get bankstatements to show deposits--most banks will charge you for older statements, but it maybe worth it to give you peace of mind.

Good luck,

I agree that Workmans Comp and Unemployment Benefits do count as Income. However, they are Temporary Income and Non-Substainable. Workmans Comp Runs out after a Doctor Dianosis and the Employee retrained or return to work status, where-as Unemployment simply runs out. As you said Gary, I did'nt want to take the Chance and returned to work. I myself have been dealing with this. But I know Proof of a solid Income is required.
