K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	OK, mini-update news from Senator- RFE's, IMBRA	Hi all, I am using an immigration attorney for the K1 processing..I spoke to him yesterday and he told me that there should be no RFE's comming since the old 129f form was still vaild until the new one is approved.I told him about this site and what everyones been speculating about and he said not to listen to all this stuff...that his firm is well aware of whats going on and that i wont recieve any RFE's coz of the new draft 129f form. So i guess we'll see what happens..he just said it might take a bit longer due to how backlogged they are due to the ones comming back for more securtiy checks.The firm does advertise on this site..if anyone is interested the firms name is Roth,Livingston,&Poles...I hope he is correct..he seemed offened when i told him waht was being said on this site,rather than what he knows from his expertise in the immigration field. Thanks guys, Good luck to all, Keith& Irish This totally contradicts all that we've learned from other sources... (Read Below) http://news.yahoo.co.../wedding_delays Chris Bentley, a Homeland Security spokesman, said about 10,000 applications are currently being held because they did not address the criminal or marriage broker issues. "They did not have all of the information needed to determine whether someone qualified or not," said Bentley, who works for the department's Citizenship and Immigration Services. He added: "It's certainly an inconvenience brought about by the new requirements of the law." Homeland Security said Tuesday it would send additional forms to the estimated 10,000 couples in wedding purgatory to get answers to the questions about criminal pasts and marriage brokers. But it said it was still waiting for the White House Office of Management and Budget for approval of those forms and the new application. OMB spokeswoman Andrea Wuebker did not have details immediately on the additional forms, but said the new applications were approved Monday in an emergency clearance process. It was not clear when the new applications would be distributed to the public.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-13 16:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Accused of rape	OK NOW; I have NOT asked anyone to judge the man I love! I KNOW he NEVER raped anyone.And he told me about this story right after we met so I knew it all the time. I HAVE BEEN raped twice and by God I know Jim is NOT the type of guy who would ever rape someone. He is the most gentle and loving man I know.He takes my son who's got ADHD and is really difficult to deal with the way he is and doesn't treat anyone badly. This "woman" was simply pissed off at Jim for NOT doing anything anymore after he told her he didn't want to see her anymore.And then she turned around claiming he raped her and on top of that that she was pregnant. Now how come there's no child????? How come she never sued for child support?????? How come she never showed up in court???? How come there was no medical evidence that she WAS raped??? Sorry people but I KNOW my man and I kow for reason that I surley wont discuss here that he would never rape anyone and never did. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into with that man and I know he's the best thing that ever happened to me and my son!!!!!! I love him with all my heart and so does my 5 year old. As for losing his job, his BOSS told me it had nothing to do with his work performance,they simply didn't have enough work anymore and since he was the last one hired he was the first one to go. Cable and DSL,oh well....he's a man and after all it's HIS money. And as for him chatting with other women,hey as long as he's just TALKING who cares???? It's MY life and I love him and I know he loves me so why is it that people think they have the right to judge someone they don't even know??????????? I asked a simple question regarding the new I 129 F form that's all. I don't want nor do I need someone to lecture me ! Thanks to the few that didn't and just gave me advice! NAT Point well taken. I think everyone here had the best of intentions, but you are right, it is not anyone's place to speculate or quantify your relationship.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	circumstances of meeting	I just think this law is complete baloney! Yahoo Personals and Match.com also charge money to facilitate contact between 2 people, why are they not required to check people's background? I don't get it! I found this on one of site that I thought is worth sharing... http://www.womenruss...s_and_media.htm These days the term "mail order brides" is currently used to label the relationship between a man from a first world country and a woman from the third world country or the countries of the former USSR. The common misconception is that the women only want a way out of their misery and terrible economic situation. Being incompetent in Filipino, Thailand, Colombian, Mexican and other mail order brides, I can tell you with confidence that this is NOT the case with Russian women seeking husbands abroad. ...this is the part that gets interesting as this website declares the differences... Russian women have a much better education than the brides from Asia and Latin America. About 90% of the women that apply to our agency have college or university degrees, or are current college or university students. With their fair complexion, their intelligence and their astounding beauty, men have often asked me if our selection is real! Our women appear too beautiful to be seeking husbands on the Internet. I'll probably catch flak for saying this, but in general, the guy should look at this way - if this woman lived close to you, would she still be interested in you? If you can honestly say 'no' then you're part of this marriage brokerage problem that the government is finally going to crack down on.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-17 23:51:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	When does the 90 Days Start?	Do not let my profile mislead you. The intent is there and we both have the letters of intent. I did not ask her to marry me over the phone, email, chat or by letter as that is so impersonal in my opinion. She understands the actual act of asking her to marry me has not occurred, but the intent is there. It is just a technical issue really. For the purpose of the application, we have agreed to be married. I just want to do the traditional thing and ask her in person and get her response in person. We have talked about this at length and both agree. I have not filed the 129 yet, that should be going out next week as I was waiting on the new 129 and a few things from my GF. I am a little old fashioned I guess and will not call her my fiancee until I actually ask her the question and get her answer in person. Just me and the way I am. Payato B) Ah ok. Someone who has gone through the interview could probably verify this better than I can, but just so it's clear to her during the interview if she is asked the date of the official proposal, you both have a corroberated answer. I'm basing this on some of the testimonies from people here. The interviewer can ask some pointed quiestions like that.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-16 13:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	When does the 90 Days Start?	Ok, I have searched and read all over the Forum and FAQs, so if this question has been askeda lready I do apologize. I understand the 90 days to get married, but it is uncler to me any way, when does the 90 days begin? Does it begin the day of the approval or 90 days after entry into the U.S.? The reason I ask is my GF is in school and when we get approved, we would like her finish the semester she is in b4 coming to the states. Payato Congratulations, BTW! We have similar stories and circumstances. I don't mean to worry you but how were you able to get her past the interview without her stating her intent to marry you? (I'm asking this based on your profile comments). If she hasn't had her interview, I would recommend that you both realize that your intentions to marry need to be known by both of you and stated so. Just my two cents.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-16 13:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Good lord I know I can't be the only one...	I have heard a rumor that California will become the Service center for all K1 visas. That is why Nebraska K1's where transferred there, not because of backlog, and that other types of non-immigrant visas will be moved from California to the other service centers. Complete heresay and rumors, but it would make sense. And there might actually be advantages of efficiency through consolidation provided they have the right amount of resources at CSS. I imagine that these regional offices were established before the extensive use the computer and the internet and may no longer be effecient in terms of the entire budgetary costs of the USCIS.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-20 00:42:00

They asked me if I wanted to send my package to the physical address instead of the P.O. Box. They looked up the address for the NSC and gave it to me. I guess if you really wanted to, that would be one way to find the address! Do you still have the physical address handy? If I can get the address I'll drive by the building this weekend.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Which process will be best for us (K-1 or K-3)?	Update: I just received a reply from the person helping me with this process saying that because my fiancee never adjusted her marital status in the Philippines there is no marriage to consider for divorce/annulment. He recommends the K-1 route because there is no question about previous marriages whereas the K-3 does ask. He is the expert and I trust his advice so it sounds like I have my answer. Thanks all... Rob He's the expert, eh? K1s most certainly ask about previous marriages ! You have to provide divorce decrees for them. Also, some consulates require the previous marriage certificates at the interview. Maybe the expert needs to do some more reading. Again, I think I didn't describe it properly. I was told we will have to provide proof of divorce for the K-1 process but to the US, not to the Philippines. This does make sense to me because when I was in Manila with my fiancee we talked to an annulment attorney there. He said in order for her to file for annulment she would first have to adjust her status because she wasn't considered married there until then. Yes, but that only makes it easier on her end of it. Again going back to your question of whether you should apply for a K-1 - that fact won't change anything for you, the petitioner. It will still show on your end that this woman just recently divorced another U.S. Citizen which may cause a delay or denial of Visa. At least get a second and possibly third legal opinion from an immigration attorney. What if you just wait a few months after the divorce is final before submitting your I-129F? That could be another alternative.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-29 10:54:00

Just look at the G-325 biographical form that she has to fill out - it asks the name of her former spouse and the location the divorce took place. If she omits that she married a U.S. citizen and they (USCIS) find out, you'll be waiting much longer than any time you hope to save by going with a K-1. No offense, but you should be more concerned about being approved for her Visa than about the time it takes. Either path is going to take a lot of time and patience - there is no fast and easy way through this.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-29 10:41:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Which process will be best for us (K-1 or K-3)?	JG & LL - No, the situation isn't perfect - few LDR's are. And no, my fiancee and I may not have spent a lot of time 'in each others' company' to this point, but like most couples in a LDR, it's hard with work and immigration limits. I see many timelines with couples only being together once or twice. That said, my fiancee and I have already spent a week together, we're planning a week long visit on her ship soon, another month long together here in October, and another week long visit in November in the Philippines. All of that would be pre-marriage. After that I'd guess I've got more more 'in each others' company' time than most K-1/K-3 couples in LDR's. FWIW, I posted brief summary of what my fiancee and I have talked about together in the time we've communicated. My post contains the issue I'm concerned about in our visa process. I can't put everything our talks contained into a few paragraphs. Maybe I didn't describe our situation the best way but I tried to summarize it so as not to bore people but still seek the best course of action given our issue. I'm sure your response had good intentions but at the same time I think you were way too quick to judge, especially in public. workin4somethin & AFQuaid - Thank you for the advice. I have done a lot of research on the K-1 and K-3 process and I know the basics on how they differ. I think the K-1 option is best given our situaion, that is why I made my thread here rather than the K-3 forum. My only concern is her previous marriage and divorce causing a problem with the process (some have told me a K-3 would be questioned less). Practically speaking then, since you are asking about Visa issues, I'd recommend you read up as much as you can. One thing in particular - Affidavit of Support. As I understand it - if you do bring her here to the U.S. with either K-1 or K-3 Visa and then later you two happen to divorce (we've had a few threads lately from that very situation), you will be legally obligated to support her financially after the divorce. Just something that you should be aware of. It would be for a very long time. Best Wishes! Edited by StevenJinky, 28 June 2006 - 10:15 PM.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-06-28 22:10:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I am sad to say....	I'm so sorry Bridgett. If he sent them, I hope there's a tracking number to at least give you some peace of mind. If he didn't send it express, then I have no idea what he was thinking. In any case, you have every reason to be angry. Hope that you two can figure out what is the best course of action now.	one...two...tree	Male	Philippines	2006-07-11 18:52:00
