K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAre Pictures Enough ?

 

Agree ! good.gif

 

guides6ly.gif They list the best manner and types of required evidence. Have as many of the different types of evidence as possible, particularly in a high-fraud country.

Agree with above, look at the guides both in VJ and USCIS, due to a high fraud country you better get all your ducks in a row.  Find a tread on someone similar and see what they did to overcome thier issues.  It is time for your own research.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan i make a trip to visit fiance now after REF

If you did not meet the filing criteria and you did not, they will deny and keep youir nmoney, you have to really visit, re file and pay again.  Suggestion if you are going to do that why not visit and get married.  Then file as a married couple.  Be sure to read the guides for for applicaitons on VJ and USCIS, have her get involved and make a joint decison, in this game two brains are better than one.  Both of you read the applications, guides and assemble / review what is needed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan I have my K1 Visa interview in my fiance's country instead of mine (in case I'm visiting him when interview stage comes up)?

The longer you delay the longer this will take, review the guides so you can refresh what needs to be done.  Their is no shortcut to the process.  Unfornately this is not on your scheduld but thiers.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy fiancee wants to get married in her country the next day after we get approved K-1

Everyone gave you good advice.  If she wants to get married at home, fly there do it and reapply as married just more money and more time.  Write a letter and close your K-1, advise them you decided to get married first and reapply.  What ever you do don't commit fraud.  If you don't think USCIS looks at these sites your kidding yourself, easy to use facial recoginition and compare your VJ photo  and statements to your entry documents.  Their are approximatelt 480 Immigration agents to work fraud and some assigned overseas.

Just follow the guides, compare the VJ information to USCIS and you should be good to go. Both of you review each others work, keep a copy of everything you send in and use USPS tracking.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDenial decision

You have a child followup as needed.  Get married and reapply.  I don't know what your proof was as you did not apparently meet the criteria, a child alone does not mean you get a visa.   See what their letter states, see what the issues are and fix it.


bigdogMaleChina2013-05-08 08:12:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOver 6 months later they want more evidence? WTF

Because they are lawyers does not mean a good one.  Both of you write an new original letter of intent, sign and date them, be sure to somewhat match your original letter or same topics, cc your attorney.   You have an attorney why?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetter or USCIS website?

If you are traveling to meet and looking at a possible denial for your K-1, there is another option instead of restarting your K-1.  Get married and reapply as a couple, Darnell is the expert on this one you might checkout his threads on a marriage application.  Try to call as suggested, it cannot hurt.

i would get married in China, since you are living there.  Send a CD home or put the marriage on the internet for your friends.  If and when you are going to return to the US file as married and return.  Seems like a lot of money, time etc. to do it your way.  K-1 is for someone planning to immigrating to the US through marriage and staying.  Good Luck what ever your decision is.

When you do your AOS application, put the name you want to go by on the application and list your AKA's. For example my wife used her first name, her last as a middle and my last.
