K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe requirement of seeing eachother hasn't happened yet!!
QUOTE (crazy.about.shada @ Jan 27 2009, 12:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,

I'm so happy that I found this place. Now I can post everything that will happen to me and my future wife. We can post together and hopefully get the encouragement that we really need.


Anywas, she wants to apply for a k1 fiancee visa for me with USCIS. We just need to know one thing before we start with this. I tried to apply for a visitor visa but was denied twice. And she doesn't want to leave the U.S. So, one requirement is missing here. We have never met. But we have been corresponding for 4 years now. We have sent photos and always talked on the phone. I just wanna know if it is at all possible to apply for the k1 visa with a reasonable explanation for the lack of that requirement. Is it at all possible to start?



I believe that meeting ur fiancee in person is TOP on the list of requirements as proof of on going relationship and yes, i agree with all the replies from other VJ members aswell.. I suggest you should both meet prior filing a petition.


Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship:

Use as many of these items are possible. There is no minimum,
but the more you can provide the less likely you are that you will receive an RFE.

1. Copies of all airline boarding passes, train passes, itineraries, hotel receipts, passport stamps (make sure you can read the dates on the stamps), and other documentary evidence that you have met within the last two years. You may want to highlight or place post-it notes indicating the dates and locations on the copies (to make the adjudication easier) for the person reviewing your file.

2. Color Photo's of you and your fiance(e) together.

3. The following items will not typically show proof of having met in the last two years however will show proof of an ongoing relationship: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)....

Hope this helps..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespolice clearance question.
QUOTE (mahal007 @ Feb 14 2009, 01:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have a question to all members here.Im petitioning my fiancee.Heres the case.My fiancee worked and resided abroad for seven years.when she went back home to philippines she decided to change her passport but now she lost her old one.Now, the consulate of the country she resided will not give her a police clearance unless she has her old passport because thats the only way they will check her records or if she has the passport number then someone can get it for her in that country.Is there anyway she can retrieve her old passport number?and If i decide not to include her previous residency abroad will the USEM find out about it?and how?she has a new passport now and no stamps that she travel to that country.Any advice?



Not sure on how to retrieve the lost passport number, but what i know of is that, the USEM have the capability and will eventually have a background check of your fiancee later on, which includes immigration records in and out of the country so i suggest you better tell everything as they would find out about it later on. In my case, i also requested for Police clearance from other country that i lived for more than 6 mos. but i just went to the consulate of the said country over here in the Phils and requested for one, i just gave them the request letter from the USEM. Btw, what country did she stayed for several yrs anyways? Hope this helps. Goodluck

this was an answer from a previous question i read:

Now that you have filed the petition, download packet 3 from your consulate website and get going on all the packet 3 documents you will need for the interview. Get them ready NOW and when the NOA2 arrives you will be ready for your interview. No matter what anyone tells you, it is NOT too soon to get these things prepared, DO NOT WAIT for anything to be sent to you, it will delay the case for weeks, at best, and may never be sent at all.


heres the link... http://manila.usemba...ov/wwwfk1en.pdf

heres the list of the requirements needed by the USEM, be sure to complete everything before your interview date.
Hope that helps . Goodluck with the rest of your journey. God Bless

thank you everybody, i already had this, and april has all these documents already, i was confused as to the wording "packet 3"


yeah me too.. i was expecting a packet with documents on it.. but instead i got a 1 sheet letter from USEM. hehe. but since you got all the documents, then thats good to hear that ur prepared now.. well then Goodluck with the rest of your journey...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGot denied on my interview b'coz of not having my decision yet at the court from my previous marriage
QUOTE (brokenfamily @ Feb 10 2009, 11:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Totally at risk of being flamed here...maybe she meant that it will take another month to get the CENOMAR and was already divorced and had the annullment? How long does a CENOMAR to come back?



Nope. its the decision of the annulment she was talking about, CENOMAR takes 2wks to obtain a copy. This is just a matter of lack of information on her part, I believe that the OP was hoping to have the decision on hand before the interview date which did not happen bec of delay in the court. and she was not aware aswell that a copy of the decision isnt enough to be submitted in the embassy as there are few more steps to make after obtaining it. such us, waiting for the certificate of finality. and submitting all those said documents to NSO to obtain a "Annotated Marriage Cert" which is equivalent to Annulment Decree. I hope they'll be given another chance...

I don't think it takes much examination to see that most of the last 12 pages consist of bickering over whether we know what we know and/or whether and how we should communicate what we know or think we know. When we use our understanding of the forms and process, we need not be a fly on the wall to know false information was intentionally and knowingly given to USCIS or the petition would never have been approved and we know that more false information was contained in the visa applications delivered to the Consulate in furtherance of false pictures painted by the petition. We can read the affirmations above signatures on forms and know the potential consequences of these actions preclude remedies like simply filing again. We cannot help this couple obtain a visa fraudulently and we cannot help them avoid the penalties for the offences they've already been caught committing.

What we can do is help them face the realities of what they've done so they can, between them resolve what they will do going forward without wasting time on futile efforts.


Oh no, here we go again. Look, overall I agree with what you're saying, that we should certainly not be abetting fraud or duplicity, and that we cannot undo past actions that are already done, and that we cannot impose our will and judgment for that of USCIS and other bodies (e.g. Manila embassy).

BUT. BUT. This statement drives me a bit nuts:

intentionally and knowingly
You don't know that. I don't know that. You can suspect that, so may I. But nothing you can say, nothing anyone says here other than perhaps the OP, can confirm or deny whether it was "intentionally and knowingly". We've already had a poster recount their own experience in which they NEARLY fell into such a trap, completing the forms believing that because an ex-spouse had served papers that in fact the divorce was finalized, when it was not. How can you POSSIBLY know that something similar did not happen here, to this OP? You DON'T KNOW. I wish people would stop stating as facts things that are conjectures.


Proving my point. Most of the last now 13 of 16 pages have been about bickering about what is and isn't known. All forms ask about previous marriages. The foreign fiancee's English seems sufficient and she mentions "my previous marriage" in the title of the thread, indicating information about a previous marriage was knowingly and intentionally misrepresented. If there was any misunderstanding or confusion involved it relates the consequences, not the actions themselves. Ignorance of consequences may mitigate some of the penalties but not erase the responsibility for the offense.

That said, you long ago post was sound advice but their chances of success with a second I-129F are none and no way, IMO.



Push... this have been a very interesting topic for me... and im just wondering.. what exactly could happen to their petition perce if..

1. If she have mentioned her former marriage to G325 when they filled it before.. and just failed to submit the annulment decree.. Will they be allowed to make appeal? or will it be ok for them to re file a petition?

2. if they failed to declare it either intentional or not. Would this realy mean an automatic ban for her?

What do u think is the best option for them now?

im concerned that why iam asking...thank you


If they got a petition approved, they did so by omitting mention of a previous marriage because if there had been one mentioned, no petition would have been approved without evidence the marriage was terminated by death, divorce or annullment. Whether by ommission or false declaration, this constitutes misrepresentation of a material fact. As already stated, the penalty is a ban on visa approval and entry to the USA. The only ban mentioned for misrepresentation is a permanent one but I'm not a judge, so I allow it's possible for some penalty short of a lifetime ban.

I think their best option is to abandon any attempt to obtain a visa to the USA for the beneficiary and get on with their lives the best they can. I have no idea what that means to the couple, because I don't know enough to know whether building a life together outside the USA is a viable option for them.

You don't simply fail to mention a previous marriage. You fail to answer a question truthfully, meaning your answer is a lie, not a mistake.


QUOTE (Madame Cleo @ Feb 8 2009, 09:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
That's your OPINION and not a fact as you don't actually work for USICS now do you? My message to the OP, (if the OP ever returns which I would somewhat doubt), get your annulment and re file. Let USICS judge what penalties to impose, not the members of VJ who are normally very well intentioned but sometimes get carried away on technicalities.

Good luck OP.


If working for the USCIS is the standard for knowing anything about the visa process, then VJ might as well be shut down immediately.

The OP has returned to the thread without posting. Um, yes, I know that.




Thanks for that... thats just so sad sad.gif .. i wish they could find a way to be together and be happy regardless if its not in the US.. sigh!!

The law states "whoever". It does not differentiate between that person being in or out of the US.

Show me where the law states that fraudulently misstating one's marital status on a document for obtaining a visa can gain one the ban, and this conversation will be over.

Lets wait till she comes back and give us more updates.. We may all speculate, wether its fraud or not, and give our comments about the issue. but in the end, its still them who can tell what really happened. So until then, Lets hope that they may find a solution to their situation.. either theyll be given a sanction or another chance (that we dont all know).. bec right now at this point, all they need is support and understanding... of which i believe VJ members are capable of giving.

a friend of mine who had same wt ur case waited for d court decicion til she set for an interview bcoz its very clear n d instruction that b4 filing a K1 or b4 interview, both parties are free to get married. If the consul denied you then denial has a big diff from delaying of issuance of visa...but still prayers is d best weapon to touch God's heart. Good Luck


I dont get it... you friend filed for the k-1, then waited to scheudel an interview until after it was finalized?

were they approved?


Yes...she is now in Alabama...when her fiance applied for K1 that time, she intentionally not to include her form325A, so, she has no record at USCIS that time...but her laywer assured her that before the petition approved the annulment will be ok, so, before RFE received by her fiance, the result was already finalized in d court. She got approved May of 2007 at NVC, Consulate received d papers a week after, and 1 month before expiration of her NOA2 and thats on July of 2007, she called USEM to set an interview sched dated Sept 2007, a longer duration bcoz she was worried that time that NSO was not yet updated of d result of her annulmet case. The duration from USCIS approval-calling-set for interview date had a little bit longer gap, but shes fine now. Its only a matter of understanding on their instruction...



Cool.. but the only difference is that im sure your friends annulment is done and she was able to provide a annotated copy from NSO during the interview itself, In their case.. she went into interview with no Court decision yet.. and ofcourse, No annulment decree on hand to prove shes legally able to marry him. sad.gif

Madz,

Just incase you decide to refile again take note of this pointers regarding your annulment...

1. Pag lumabas na yung DECISION... Maghintay ka pa ng few wks para sa CERTIFICATE OF FINALITY, then after nun kumuha ka ng certified true photo copies nung mga yun( DECISION and CERTIFICATE of FINALITY) dun sa RTC kung saan ka nag file nang annulment, then Punta ka ng NSO Main, submit mo yung documents sa kanila then mag request ka for another copy of Marriage cert. it'll take 2 wks or more bago nila maiupdate yun sa database nila. but im sure they will give u naman a specific date kung kelan ka babalik. after matapos yung process sa NSO, They will give u a copy of your "Annotated Marriage Certificate" where in it states where and when the decision is rendered, name of the Judge, case no. and declaration that the marriage bet ween you and your ex husband is null and void from the beginning. try as much as possible to furnish this before kayo mag file ulit.
I know how bad it is being away from our loved ones that we tend na madaliin lahat. Take it one day at a time. sabi nga, slowly but surely.. youll get there..

2. Get as much information u need before filing another petition. Research more here in visa journey. If there something that u dont really understand or confuses you. post it in forums like this again. Im sure there are lots of people who is willing to help you guys out.

3. Lastly, Pray and Hope that youll get through with this..

Goodluck Girl!!

I can answer everyones concerns! The approval here in the US is easy. They basically just looks at the papers given and may do a background check on the petitioner but they are not really checking the beneficiary, that is why u have an interview at the US embassy of the beneficiary's country. that's when they check everything about the beneficiary. It happened to us also but we did not lie or anything on the immigration form. My husband was not married ever but at the time of the interview, his CENOMAR in the Philippines showed up a marriage record so his VISA was not denied but put on administrative review. after 6 mos w/out hearing anything from the US embassy, i canceled the petition. to make story short, we had to go thru the annulment process even if it was identity theft. it's philippine law to go thru an annulment to get the marriage null and void. the court discovered w/ the priest as witness that it was not my husband that he married but a much older person using my husband's name. when the annulment decree was issued, we got married and so i re-petitioned for spousal visa.

so, u have to refile once ur annulment has been issued.


Your situation was rather different.



I agree.. yours is a matter of identity theft that was proven later on so u have a valid reason for it.. Theirs is a matter of 'Not declaring previous marriage " or even if she did, The thought of declaring that she is legally able to marry his fiance on the Letter of intent during the time they submitted it was a huge mistake in her part. Her marriage is not yet over since the case is still pending and with no decision yet.

Im not sure wether this is the right spot that i should post this... but i gave it a try to vent out how i feel... Iam sure that iam indeed happy for receiving my visa finally and that i can be with my fiance soon enough to marry him. Its just that iam worried if i could be able to take my daughter with me when i fly in there in the US this coming May. We have her on K2 but she was asked to return after 2 mos for repeat xray. She just had her pneumonia taken cared of during the time of our medical. We have 3 more wks to go to hope that her xray will be cleared. I really dont want her to be left behind.. Were rushing against time aswell as my fiance will be sent out for deployment by August so its a must for me to get there ASAP. Ill be staying for about a month more over here to wait for her result. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER SO MUCH and it breaks my heart to be away from her. Im sure that i could have her follow me later on to join us, if all else fail but syempre it would be more complete if shes with me. I humbly ask you guys to pls include my daughter cheska in your prayers so that she maybe able to pass her medical finally. Thank you so much guys... May God bless each and everyone of you.


I regret that i cannot add much to help out, other than prayers. Hopefully previous post have some helpful advice. I am curious about the picture you posted in your signature. It looks like coco beach island resort and wanted to ask you if i was indeed correct in my guess. That place is beautiful and is always going to be in my heart as the first place me and my fiancee vacationed to, toghter.

Good luck i pray it works out for you and your daughter. I seen it first hand where a daughter couldn't follow because they were accidently omited on applications, but this does not appear the situation. so im hopeful that it is resolved in your families favor. I have a question though, if she is allowed to travel to the US - couldn't she see a physician here and have the same thing accomplished?


Thank you so much for your prayer. We need it most right now. Actually, it is Coco beach. you are right, it was indeed a very beautiful place to spend vacation esp with your loved one. Anywho, I'm sure that theres a need to have her checked aswell by a physician in the US as part of medical procedures for AOS but then again, she should pass the SLEC first over here so that she could have her interview sched at USEM -manila and if shes eligible visa will be granted and will be allowed to fly out. So that means, No clearance from SLEC means No Go!.. sad.gif . Again thank you so much.. may God bless you and your entire family.

Im not sure wether this is the right spot that i should post this... but i gave it a try to vent out how i feel... Iam sure that iam indeed happy for receiving my visa finally and that i can be with my fiance soon enough to marry him. Its just that iam worried if i could be able to take my daughter with me when i fly in there in the US this coming May. We have her on K2 but she was asked to return after 2 mos for repeat xray. She just had her pneumonia taken cared of during the time of our medical. We have 3 more wks to go to hope that her xray will be cleared. I really dont want her to be left behind.. Were rushing against time aswell as my fiance will be sent out for deployment by August so its a must for me to get there ASAP. Ill be staying for about a month more over here to wait for her result. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER SO MUCH and it breaks my heart to be away from her. Im sure that i could have her follow me later on to join us, if all else fail but syempre it would be more complete if shes with me. I humbly ask you guys to pls include my daughter cheska in your prayers so that she maybe able to pass her medical finally. Thank you so much guys... May God bless each and everyone of you.


Your visa is valid for 6 months. You will have until late September to travel to the USA. Whay not wait until your daughter has her 2nd x-ray and then travel here together? If you come here now, you will not be able to travel back until you receive an AP or your green card. This is minimum 2-6 months after filing and you must be married first. It means your daughter will do everything on her own (which maybe she can, I do not know) but there is no need to be separated if you do not want to be.


agreed!! if you love your daughter so much then wait for everything to finish, your VISA is valid for half a year, that should be long enough for you to do what you have to do to have your daughter travel with you.


Yeah my visa is till Sept 6. thats why i will stay for about a month more to wait for the result of my daughters Xray. that will be on May 10. If she gets cleared then its good. but if she will be subjected for sputum test then another 2 mos for the culture testing which will be by Mid July and another few moments for interview schedule which is not sure when will it be. IF i fly in there by Mid or last wk of JUly then we would go cramming filing for Marriage license and all else that will follow after that (marriage and AOS,EAD) bec my fiance will be sent out for Deployment in early August sad.gif , i will pretty much be on my own bec his family is way back in NJ and we'll be in CA so no one could help and guide me with where to go and what to do by that time so were hoping to be there atleast 3 mos before he goes so that he can still help me out with the everything like biometrics appointment and all, i wont be driving anytime soon and definitely not familiar with the places. So i need his help. Thanks for your replies.. i hope this make a little bit on sense why iam abit torned. God bless you all.

Well I would suggest you have someone petition you for the right reason. Your post alone states that you are just looking to get a visa to the states. This is for people in a real relationship that is looking for help reuniting with loved ones. If i am reading this wrong forgive me but I can't in good conscious give any help in a situation like this. And as far as i know you can not have 2 active k-1 petitions active at the same time.

OMG is this for real?

PhilippinesDomestic Airport Terminal

Do I have plenty of time to connect?
For example... I arrive on a domestic flight on Zest air at the old domestic terminal and need to connect to a flight in terminal 2. If my Zest air flight arrives on time 8:40am and my Philippine Airlines flight departs at 9:25am??? I have never been through the old domestic terminal in any previous trips.



If Zest Air arrives 840am, you'll probably be able to get out of the airport past 9am :)

I think check in time of domestic flights is at least 45 minutes. I usually do this if I only have carry-on with me. ideally, I would suggest give at least 2 hours especially if you have a baggage to check-in, queue might be so long :). The three terminals are very near each other but you can't predict the traffic in Manila, and plus it slows down if it's raining hard.

PhilippinesNVC - Obtaining Police Clearance Abroad

Oh no, I don't know how to get one from Saudi, I worked there for two years as a nurse and I hope that place is not included to get a police clearance from. :(



Hi, you can check this link - http://travel.state..../fees_3272.html .. I have worked in Dubai for 2 years and this guide says it's only available if I am physically present in the UAE and post recommend that the CO waives this requirement. So I did not bother to get one, my interview is on May 6th.

Middle East and North Africawhy is emirates emirates?

isnt emirate an arabic word?well then why does it get plural with S?as in the airline and the country?



I think the locals uses the word Emarat (like the Emarat Gas Station in UAE) and they call themselves Emarati? so I assume they don't really consider Emirate as an arabic word :blush: :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow do you know when NVC has received?
Everytime I called the 603-334-0700 number the automated system would say that they have no record of our case. When I spoke to an agent he told me he does not have any information at that time as well, however it's possible that it is already at NVC but not updated in the system. So I emailed NVCInquiry@state.gov and they messaged me back on the same day with the case number and a confirmation that they received our case.

Yup,I was given a UID. and I tried downloading my appointment letter but I still get the same message such as wrong receipt number or passport number. Posted Image if ever I'll be given a new password,will I be able to confirm my date and time of interview? thanks much!



yes, the call center agent will send you a new password to your email, it worked for me :) . you can also confirm with them over the phone if your appointment went through. I always call the 214-571-1600 number through google talk for free, don't want to call the Manila number and be charged long distance since I am in the Visayas :secret:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 US Embassy Manila

Hi there xoxohannah! I kinda have the same problem with regards to making an online appointment., when all of a sudden my log in session expired. I'm off to clicking the schedule button when it happened.I'm very much worried now and I don't know how to go back there again. What do I do now?Do I have to talk with an agent to clarify things? Thanks much!



Hello there Heroin. Did you get to the step where you were given a UID? If not, I assume it did not go through.

If yes, I suggest you click on this link and check your profile, you would only need your passport number and UID to log in - http://www.ustraveld...earchParam.aspx . Once you're in there, you can see if your interview has been scheduled. Then try to download your appointment page, I suggest you do it using internet explorer (I couldn't when I tried using google chrome). If you're still having the same problem, like for example you were getting the message :Invalid passport no or receipt, then contact the call center and they will send you a new password.

2. if i can make an appointment... do my fiancee have to pay first on BPI or can i make an appointment first and make the payment later?

The email says you have to pay first, but I was able to make an appointment online then make a payment the next day (last Friday). Contacted the USEM Mla call center today and confirmed that my interview is scheduled and my payment through BPI have posted already. I was also able to download the appointment page --- I don't really encourage anyone doing this as it gave me a headache the whole weekend. I was worried because I couldn't download my appointment page, I'm not sure if it has something to do with not following the instruction. It was resolved by having a call center agent sent me a new password.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 US Embassy Manila

HI VJers...

just few questions regarding making an appointment at US Embassy Manila...

i have read some topics here regarding making an appointment without having to wait for the letter of eligibility from the Embassy...
i have received a letter from NVC stating that my petition has already been forwarded to the US Embassy in Manila dated April 5, 2011
its already April 18th in Manila... so my questions are:

1. can i make an appointment without having to wait for the letter of eligibility to reach my fiancee? considering its already more than a week...

yes, I was able to make an appointment without the eligibility letter. You may email IVManilaReplies@state.gov to check if USEM Mla got your case. I think they will only reply if they already have it, they will also give you the instruction on what to do next, and it says there that there's no need to wait for the hard copy of the letter to schedule an appointment.

2. if i can make an appointment... do my fiancee have to pay first on BPI or can i make an appointment first and make the payment later?

The email says you have to pay first, but I was able to make an appointment online then make a payment the next day (last Friday). Contacted the USEM Mla call center today and confirmed that my interview is scheduled and my payment through BPI have posted already. I was also able to download the appointment page

oh yeah... i cant connect to 1-888-877-9888 number on the call center... it always says my call cant be completed as dialed... im using US landline btw and also tried using my cellphone but it seems that i cant get through the call center....
thank you in advance for your help :)

I think you can call (214) 571-1600, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time), but I'm not really sure if they can give you information where your case is since this is the number for scheduling interview appointments. Yet, you will always be able to get hold of someone. I assume yours is in Manila already because ours left NVC 4th April and I got a response from USEM Manila 14th April informing me they received it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures#8 question on I 134 (partially or wholly dependent)
number 8 on the form I 134 says:

"The ff persons are dependent upon me for support (Check the box in the appropriate column to indicate whether the person named is wholly or partially dependent upon you for support)"

My fiance income is from his SSDI. Because of his disability, his minor dauther receives SSDI as well. Shall we put the child as a dependent or we can just leave it blank or put NONE? If yes, shall we choose wholly or partially dependent?

My fiance income is from his SSDI. He has a minor child who lives with him and is receiving SSDI as well due to my fiance's status. Shall we put the child as a dependent or we can just leave it blank or put NONE?

your response will be highly appreciated.


Does your fiance submit a federal income tax return every year? If so, does he name this minor child as his dependent on those tax returns?

In any case, I agree with Rene's answer, the answers to the above questions might confirm that answer.

Your fiancee's son is his dependent. If he is not his father's dependent, then who's dependent is he? If he is living with your fiancee and he is a minor, then he's your fiancee's dependent.

A person on SSDI usually does not have to file a tax return because the person doesn't meet the minimum required to file. Not listing a person as a dependent on a tax return does not mean the person is not a dependent for immigration purposes. Listing the person on the tax return is pretty conclusive that the person is a dependent for immigration purposes.

That is correct. All originals are in courthouse files. We are only given copies with certified stamps to show they are for real



Thanks everyone for clarifying... :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs original divorce decree required? (USEM Manila)

I think the original copy is the certified copy..It has the states stamp and logo at the bottom.



Ok, I think I got it...so the Original copy or the Final Divorce Decree will be in the courthouse and would never be given to him, and his' is only the certified copy? Thus in case something might happen, for example it will get lost in the mail, he can always request from the courthouse for another one?
