You don't need a seperate I-129F for your child. There is a place on the form to list her. Also there is a place on the bio form to list her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDocuments to send in for K-1
I have a lawyer (***) that helped me fill out all the paperwork for my I-129. One of the things he had me do was make a notarized letter of intent from me. He didn't have me get one for my fiance. Is that required? I am looking at the instructions on the I-129 form and it says to provide original statements from both of us! Will I get a RFE from this???? There is plenty of other stuff from her. The signed Bio form and a ton of pictures.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew To This Site
In order to get a fiance visa you must meet in person in the two years prior to filing. There are exceptions but not having the money isn't one of them. You will need to find a way to meet and when you do remember to keep all of the evidence that you met. ie. airplane ticket stubs, hotel recepts, lots of pictures ect....

if so, it seems like our process is going through at lightning speed! i am almost not ready for him to be here so soon! it's fantastic, but it's nearly catching me unprepared! i'm pretty much assuming his interview date after sending in stuff from Packet 3 will still take a couple on months. if it doesn't, i've got a LOT of work to do in a little amount of time with getting rid of boxes out of our basement (where his 'pad' will be). :blink: B)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2's are Rollin' Out

Woohoo! Go Nebraska..... AND Detroit !

Well one thing is strange here, we're both filing for K-1's, we're both from Michigan, we're both going through Nebraska... Your NOA1 Date is 3/6 My NOA1 date is 3/10 But your estimated NOA2 date is May 27th and my estimated NOA2 date is May 19th...

So, you sent yours before me, and your estimated NOA2 date is after me...

And I sent mine after you, and my estimated NOA2 date is before you....

Kinda weird considering we would have the same statistics ?

I asked the same thing a while back. VJ's stats go by the date you send your I-129F in, not the NOA1 date. That is the reason for the difference. We should get ours within a few days of each other, hopefully next week. Keep our fingers crossed!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIMBRA again
I just read the whole law, god I have a headache!, and although I am not a lawyer this is what I think I have found. The law has a few things that affect most of us.
1. If the USC has filed more than one petition prior to the one being adjudicated then his/her info is put into a database.
2. There is a 2 year waiting period for a 3rd petition after the filing of a second one.
3. If you met in any way OTHER than an international marriage broker then a special backround check isn't done. If you did meet via a broker then the USC must submit his backround before personal info of the alien party may be given to the USC. The broker must also do a check of the Sex offenders registry and provide that info to the alien.

This is from the law:

(iii) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall provide
to the Secretary of State any criminal background
information the Secretary of Homeland Security possesses
with respect to a petitioner under subsection
(d) or ® of section 214 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1184).
The Secretary of State, in turn, shall share any such
criminal background information that is in government
records or databases with the K nonimmigrant visa
applicant who is the beneficiary of the petition. The
visa applicant shall be informed that such criminal
background information is based on available records
and may not be complete. The Secretary of State also
shall provide for the disclosure of such criminal background
information to the visa applicant at the consular
interview in the primary language of the visa
applicant. Nothing in this clause shall be construed
to authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to
conduct any new or additional criminal background
check that is not otherwise conducted in the course
of adjudicating such petitions.

Note the last sentence. No special checks are done by the DHS.
I could not find anything that says the petitioner must submit his/her own police check with the petition.
If you were introduced through a International marriage Broker then a whole bunch of stuff applies there.
Your fiance will also be asked how you met. If he/she says anything about a marriage broker then they must provide evidence that they were informed of the USC's criminal history regarding sex offences, violent crimes and more than 3 drug/alcohol convictions.

This is also what I found in regard to International Marriage Brokers:

REQUIREMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE BROKERS
WITH RESPECT TO MANDATORY COLLECTION OF BACKGROUND
INFORMATION.—

(A) IN GENERAL.—
(i) SEARCH OF SEX OFFENDER PUBLIC REGISTRIES.—
Each international marriage broker shall search the
National Sex Offender Public Registry or State sex
offender public registry, as required under paragraph
(3)(A)(i).
(ii) COLLECTION OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION.—
Each international marriage broker shall also collect
the background information listed in subparagraph ( B )
about the United States client to whom the personal
contact information of a foreign national client would
be provided.
( B ) BACKGROUND INFORMATION.—The international
marriage broker shall collect a certification signed (in written,
electronic, or other form) by the United States client
accompanied by documentation or an attestation of the
following background information about the United States
client:
(i) Any temporary or permanent civil protection
order or restraining order issued against the United
States client.
(ii) Any Federal, State, or local arrest or conviction
of the United States client for homicide, murder, manslaughter,
assault, battery, domestic violence, rape,
sexual assault, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation,
incest, child abuse or neglect, torture, trafficking,
peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude,
slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful
criminal restraint, false imprisonment, or stalking.
(iii) Any Federal, State, or local arrest or conviction
of the United States client for—
(I) solely, principally, or incidentally engaging
in prostitution;
(II) a direct or indirect attempt to procure
prostitutes or persons for the purpose of prostitution;
or
(III) receiving, in whole or in part, of the proceeds
of prostitution.
(iv) Any Federal, State, or local arrest or conviction
of the United States client for offenses related to controlled
substances or alcohol.
(v) Marital history of the United States client,
including whether the client is currently married,
whether the client has previously been married and
how many times, how previous marriages of the client
were terminated and the date of termination, and
whether the client has previously sponsored an alien
to whom the client was engaged or married.
(vi) The ages of any of the United States client’s
children who are under the age of 18.
(vii) All States and countries in which the United
States client has resided since the client was 18 years
of age.

Now, all this applies if you went through a marriage broker. I don't see where it applies if you met any other way. In the definition of International marriage Broker I don't see how it applies to Yahoo personals or any of the other online dating services unless it is specifically geared to international dating.
Here is the law on that:

INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE BROKER.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘‘international marriage
broker’’ means a corporation, partnership, business, individual,
or other legal entity, whether or not organized
under any law of the United States, that charges fees
for providing dating, matrimonial, matchmaking services,
or social referrals between United States citizens or
nationals or aliens lawfully admitted to the United States
as permanent residents and foreign national clients by
providing personal contact information or otherwise facilitating
communication between individuals.
( B ) EXCEPTIONS.—Such term does not include—
(i) a traditional matchmaking organization of a
cultural or religious nature that operates on a nonprofit
basis and otherwise operates in compliance with the
laws of the countries in which it operates, including
the laws of the United States; or
(ii) an entity that provides dating services if its
principal business is not to provide international dating
services between United States citizens or United
States residents and foreign nationals and it charges
comparable rates and offers comparable services to
all individuals it serves regardless of the individual’s
gender or country of citizenship.

Notice the last paragraph. It lets the web dating services off the hook.

This is just my own interpretation of the law. I AM NOT A LAWYER!! But I think I managed to get my brain wrapped around it. Anyone that would like to modify or differ with my summery please feel free.

I'm in the middle of it also. My NOA1 is March 14. But they have known this was coming and I can't believe that they will just melt down now because of it. It may take them a week or so to get the wheels moving again but this is only a minor glitch.

I thought I read somewhere that the law would apply to internet dating sites. I could be wrong, let me see what I can find.

This lets out internet dating sites unless they specialize in international dating or charge more for men than women or more for USC than aliens.


From what I've been reading, it seems that one of the effects will be extra scrutiny at the consular level for those who met on the internet, regardless of whether the specific internet site is classified as an IMB.


This was taken straight from the law. As long as the alien does not state they met through a International Marriage Broker then no additional scrutiny is called for. (ii) there clearly states that it excludes:
"an entity that provides dating services if its
principal business is not to provide international dating
services between United States citizens or United
States residents and foreign nationals and it charges
comparable rates and offers comparable services to
all individuals it serves regardless of the individual’s
gender or country of citizenship."
That lets out Yahoo, MSN, Date.com and all the others you care to name.
If you met through one of those "meet asian women" or "meet russian women" sites then you have something to worry about.

From what I can tell if you didn't meet through a broker then nothing should change. They should not send your petition back for more checks or cancel interviews unless you stated you met through a broker.

It seems that some of the embassies are overreacting. My guess is there are a lot of conference calls going on right now to get it straightened out. Just give it a little time and they will work it out!
