K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat I Learned About Evidence

By submitting any evidence of any potential red flags so as USCIS is aware of such when they approve the petition. Also those in high fraud countries such as the Philippines and Morocco eg may very well benefit from submitting evidence to support a bonafide relationship at the initial petition stage. Also borne out in this thread by ellis_island http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6769&hl=
I am also with yodrak on Marc Ellis. He is a very highly respected immigration attorney mainly dealing with Manila that is also a member of VJ. Have a read of his article linked the thread.



This is much better than Marc Ellis said so....

This is very interesting. Then how does one bridge the gap that the prima facia evidence that the USCIS is to examine and conclude on is only suppose to be that the petitioner and beneficiary have met within the previous two years. And since the petition is not the visa application, should not the petition only be used to qualify the applicant/USC as having only met requirements to simply apply for this particular visa type?


Also

6. In adjudicating visa cases involving petitions, posts should
bear in mind three important factors: A. the consular officer''s
role in the petition process is to determine if there is
substantial evidence relevant to petition validity not
previously considered by DHS, and not to merely readjudicate the
petition; B. the memo supporting the petition return must
clearly show the factual and concrete reasons for recommending
revocation (observations made by the consular officer cannot be
conclusive, speculative, equivocal or irrelevant) and; C.
consular officers must provide to the applicant in writing as
full an explanation as possible of the legal and factual basis
for the visa denial and petition return. Post must maintain a
copy of the returned petition, other evidence relevant to the
case, and a copy of the written notification of the denial.

No readjudication of petitions

7. In general, an approved petition will be considered by
consular officers as prima facie evidence that the requirements
for classification - which are examined in the petition process
- have been met. Where Congress has placed responsibility and
authority with DHS to determine whether the requirements for
status which are examined in the petition process have been met,
consular officers do not have the authority to question the
approval of petitions without specific evidence, generally
unavailable to DHS at the time of petition approval, that the
beneficiary may not be entitled to status (see 9 FAM 41.53, Note
2, 41.54 Note 3.2-2, 41.55 Note 8, 41.56 Note 10, 41.57 Note 6,
and 42.43 Note 2) due to fraud, changes in circumstances or
clear error on the part of DHS in approving the petition.
Conoffs should not assume that a petition should be revoked
simply because they would have reached a different decision if
adjudicating the petition.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat I Learned About Evidence

And the rumor is that over-documentation (with a bunch of stuff that can be faked) can be a red flag for fraud.




I think it depends on what you are sending. My approach to it was I'm going to make the best presentation that this is a legitimate relationship. Jinky gave me copies of doctorate diploma, her Philippines driver's license and her social security card. I also sent copies of every page of my passport in addition to a copy of my birth certificate. I sent maybe 2 cards Jinky mailed me, but no phone call logs or emails.

I feel sorry for your g/f and you - the whole situation is sad. I suspect you care for this girl and also you feel you want to "rescue" her from her plight which is admirable - but marriage is a HUGE LIFETIME commitment.



Nathan, that's exactly what I did with my first marriage (I was 18 and she was 19 when we first began to date)...thought I could rescue her. As noble as that may seem, you can't rescue her from her family or her troubles. Please do her and yourself a favor and back off. You too can wait it out for a couple of years and you both will have a better relationship for it. If the relationship can't survive the distance and time then it wasn't meant to be.

Nathan,
To sum this all up, you want to bring a 17 year old girl that you have never met to the USA on a Fiance Visa? And, this girl wants to get away from her parents who are bothering her? And, her parents do not want her to marry you or give their permission for her to travel? The other posters have told you that your chances of getting her here are between "slim and none" and you insist that you want to bring her anyway? Nathan, this is just not going to happen!

And, you had better take a good HARD look at the obstacles you are facing. If her parents do not like you...there is a BIG problem. But, they have never met you either? Perhaps they are protecting their daughter in the only way that they know how from marrying with a 20 year old American citizen that she does not know, has not met personally and has no personal knowledge about...other than e-mails, photos, web-cams and phone calls...or however you communicated with this girl.

Whatever the outcome of your situation is, I wish you the best of luck. But, really Nathan...this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Sincerely,

Nathan, do you know what a CFO is? Without it, your fiancee will not be able to travel over here on a K-1 Visa, even with an approval from the US Embassy. Not only that, if you look at the source I gave, it is the US Manila Embassy - they aren't going to disregard the laws regarding consent from parents, so there's no chance of her coming over here on a k-1 before she turns 18, and she won't be able to come over without her parent's written consent or advice before 21 (check the website).

IMHO, you'd be better off to see these legal barriers and family obstacles as clues that the two of you should reconsider a future together.

no we arent getting married in the philippines.her parents wont let us.so she has decided to do the fiancee k1 visa instead bcuz her parents r also trying to make her find another guy but she doesnt want to.so she is also now in a hurry to get away from her parents so they will leave her alone.so she has asked me to dd the fiancee visa so i can visit her sooner and get her here sooner.even her aunt finally convinced her to take the fiancee visa.



Marriage applicants aged 18 to 21 must have written parental consent. Applicants aged 22 to 24 must have received parental advice. Philippine law prohibits the marriage of individuals under the age of 18.

Philippine law prescribes a ten-day waiting period from the filing of the application to the issuance of the marriage license. The license is valid for 120 days and may be used anywhere in the Philippines.

Marriage to a U.S. citizen confers neither citizenship nor an automatic eligibility for entry to the United States. If the U.S. citizen does not reside in the Philippines, the Petition for Immigrant Visa (I-130) must be filed through the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services office in the United States or at DHS window 19 (8-11:00AM, 1-3:00PM) at the US Embassy .

Any questions about filing an immigrant visa petition to bring the spouse to the United States should be directed to the nearest office of Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, the State Department's Visa Office (202) 663-1225 or, while in the Philippines, to the American Embassy in Manila.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureskindly read my post

It took NVC a couple weeks to get our case after CSC approved it.



The CSC is notorious for getting back logged. There were several here, who got their approval during July and August of last year, but their cases weren't forwarded to the NVC until October (if I recall correctly). They just experienced a huge influx of AOS cases filed at the end of July to meet the deadline before the fees were increased. That would be my best guess.


In any case, the OP here needs to call the CSC and talk with someone in person. From there they need to verify if the case is still there or not. If it's not, they need to find out when it was forwarded to the NVC. In some cases, they can be stuck in Administrative Processing. 7 weeks may seem like a longer than normal time, but it's not in the scheme of things.

Read carefully over this page:

https://egov.uscis.g...eviceCenter=CSC

If the NVC doesn't have any record that means they just haven't received it yet. You'll need to contact CSC to find out if they forwarded your case to the NVC and if so, on what day. The CSC could be back logged and that's what is taking it so long.

The process will not go further until the NVC forwards your case to the Manila Embassy and they aren't going to that until they get the entire file from CSC, so sending them a xerox would be a waste of time. CSC holds your entire case (all paperwork) until they approve (NOA2), at that point, the entire file is mailed to the NVC who assign your case a number that you will be able to refer to once they forward your case to the Manila Embassy.

For many Filipinos who are proud of their country and culture, it would be insulting to suggest that their women are all too eager to sell themselves to foreign men for sex or even to marry themselves to a foreign man.


I have not been to PI.

Logic would suggest that a Consulate would deal with the roughly the same number of applications for women and men.

PI does not seem to follow this pattern.

How do you explain that?



That is a whole topic in of itself, but I'm sure that holds true for most U.S. Embassies in impoverished countries, not just the Philippines.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiancee work concern
Just for some historical perspective on prostitution in the Philippines. I talked with my wife about this thread and the subject of girls who worked as prostitutes before but later marry foreigners. When U.S. military bases were stationed in the Philippines, prostitutes and bar girls started appearing nearby. This was the case for many countries with U.S. military bases that were stationed particularly in impoverished countries.

I think it's worth pointing this out because I think many here might be offended by the notion that many Filipinas going through the K-1 process are former prostitutes. When the bases closed, prostitution was no longer an economically viable means for a woman to make a living, except perhaps in tourist areas, but not to the degree that they existed before. It is also a bit of a controversial subject for many native Filipinos as many girls were coerced or forced into sex with GI's than actually soliciting themselves for sex.

For many Filipinos who are proud of their country and culture, it would be insulting to suggest that their women are all too eager to sell themselves to foreign men for sex or even to marry themselves to a foreign man. Yes, it's a stain on their past but it is also as much a stain on America's past for contributing to such a condition.

There may have been a time when there were a lot of former prostitutes who were going through the K-1 process, but according to my wife, that no longer is this case since the closer of the bases as well as the dawn of the internet. Most of the women are meeting their American fiances through the internet nowadays. I'll try to find statistics if I can, but this makes logical sense to me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiancee work concern

Mister Fancypants,

One would expect the approval rate to be virtually 100%. "Very high", especially at a consulate that processes as many visa applications as Manilla does, means a large number of refusals.

As pushbrk recognizes, "many" does not mean 'most', it means enough to be a noticeable phenomenon.

Yodrak

Yes and Thailand too. It's a fact, not a judgment. The keyword is "many" not "all" or even "most" but enough that an attractive young woman who never had a job, would be answering questions about how she makes her way in the world. (pays the bills)


I can't speak for other embassies, but my impression with the Manila Embassy is there is a very high rate of K-1 approvals to denials. I don't know of any statistics on how many former prostitutes become K-1 beneficiaries, but either the Embassy doesn't care about such types of employment or your claim that many of them are former prostitutes is inaccurate.



I'll take your word for it...I'm just surprise that a K-1 could make it through the interview process if there was evidence that the beneficiary had been involved in prostitution.


I expect a good number of both the successes and denials are such cases. In the successful cases, the truth would not have come to light. The existence of evidence doesn't necessarily mean the evidence was observed or considered in the visa process, or was even known by the petitioner.


In those cases then, the beneficiary must have not been factual with regard to employment history. Just to be clear - some may have gotten the impression from this thread that it's ok with the CO's if the beneficiary has worked in the entertainment industry that possibly involved some kind of sexual favor in exchange for money. For anyone who is petitioning such a person, I think they should be aware that such types of employment could lead to a denial, particularly if the petitioner and beneficiary met through such means as with the OP.


Well....factual....smactual. :yes: They may have given facts that satisfied the questions asked, but didn't give all the pertinent details. Remember, this whole issue came up because somebody foolishly suggested declaring the a young attractive beneficiary (It turns out from Romania, not the PI or Thailand.) was never employed, when the fact is she works as a model for an erotic internet site. I suggested indicating an agency or company name with an occupation as "fashion model". Another poster made a suggestion I like better, which was to indicate she was involved in internet marketing. Both suggestions are "factual" but neither suggests any connection to a moral turpitude concern.


Granted. How that works out for them in the actual interview would be interesting to say the least. My wife was a practicing dentist with her own clinic in the PI, and the CO asked her quite a few questions about her career during the interview.

I wouldn't worry because March is less than 7 month from now which is about how long it will take. Even if you have your Embassy interview and are approved around that time, your Visa will be valid for up to 6 months from the time of issuance.

No offense to either of you two, but it seems like you'd both be rushing into a marriage that is on shaky ground. Being crazy in love with someone doesn't always equate to marriage, IMO, especially when reality and blind love meet.



We went through alot of hardship and only,,Being crazy in love,, helped us to survive!!!



I have no doubt and it certainly is a good thing to have, but can also get in the way of good judgement. star_smile.gif I hope things work out for the best. rose.gif

Aright there seems to be much overreacting and am very offended some of you would say ###### about my fiance. i thought this site was to help people out, not offend.. It's true it's a very awkward situation but i've talked to some laywers and everything will be all right. I have everything i need to know and if anyone has any further questions just go ahead and private message me. i'd be glad if this topic would just be erased. i'm not gonna sit here and prove how true our relationship is and how much we wanna be together. i'd check some of your all's wives and fiances, before u start bashing mine.



If I had a dollar...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee's Child
Hi Brian,

It's going to depend on the custodial laws of your fiancee's country. If he has no legal custody of his daughter, then you shouldn't need his permission. If he shares legal custody of the child, I'd recommend that your wife find a lawyer in her country to draft up the necessary legal paperwork and then have her ex-husband sign it.

We were fortunate because my wife was never married and Philippine Law gives no custodial rights to the father of the child without him petitioning through the courts for custodianship.

I'd first find out for sure if the ex-husband has any legal custody of the child. Definitely contact a local lawyer where your fiancee resides.
