K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures19 YR OLD Marrying 16 YR OLD

This marriage is doomed. I think teh girl and her parents just want her to come to America. At 16 years old she has not even been to college. He wants sex, and the girl wants to come to America. Its called barter trade. Lets see how long that lasts once she gets to America and starts second guessing herself, given all she sees here. You need to wait, focus your energies on school and getting a life long trade and skill and let her mature.However strongly you feel, you will likely look back and regret years down the line because things are not always how they look like all the time.


Kitkat I have not offended anyone;please stop giving me undeserved credit. I post here like everyone else, and am mindful not to hurt anyone. If you cant put up, its not my fault.


You have not offended anyone?!!! What the heck do you call what you wrote above? :unsure:

And did you figure out all on your own that a 16yo hasn't gone to college yet? Your deductive skills are absolutely amazing. Guess everyone has to get up pretty early to get past you. :yes:

Anthony, good luck with what ever you decided to do. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespls help

The CD with the yahoo conversations- i just have it here, it is not sent yet, i meant i was going to use it for the interview. With the petition we sent only proof of meeting in person. And again abot the CD- i can print everything but it will take thousand pages. I was also thinking that they could not use this CD in their system. So, am i supposed to print all 1000 pages and bring them to the interview along with another 20-30 pages of phone bills? And about your question in the previous post, i think you are right- i suppose will be asked the same question at the interview.

You don't want to overburden them with papers, and you still have plenty of time to send e-mails as well. You would just want to print out some conversations over the span of your relationship... not all of them. My fiancee and I have over 500 e-mails, but I just printed out 5 different ones, over the course of our relationship, and ones that didn't include anything private! :D Same thing with phone bills... I printed one page per month, because there are thousands of calls as well. Though you want ample proof, you don't want to overdo it either!

That's why i did not want to post this.

Sorry, I wasn't condemming you, just concerned, as will any USCIS officer or CO.

One other thing I noticed... you said you sent a "CD". The USCIS or State Dept. will not use it, and are prohibited from inserting any unkown software into their computing systems. I would suggest you be prepared for an RFE at the very least, and start writing e-mails so they can be printed out. The proof of relationship will be more for the consulate than the USCIS, but they still like to know there is an ongoing and valid relationship. They're main concern is proof of meeting in the last two years.

I would be more concerned about his criminal record and drinking problem! Just my opinion, but why would you want to get involved with someone that has that kind of background?

I also can't believe it won't raise some flags somewhere, especially that fact that he broke his probation by leaving the country. Not that it's my business... but out of curiosity, and to see if a "leopard can change it's spots", is he in any kind of rehab, or AA? When you spent time with him in Mexico, was he still drinking?

Either way, you have a long road ahead of you. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter Marriage moving out of US
The idea of getting an immigrant visa, or immigrating to the US, is to LIVE in the US. Not to use it as your summer/winter home!

Even as a LPR, you must maintain a certain amount of "continuous residency", and especially if you plan on going through the naturalization process.

If you stay outside of the US for 6 months or more, you can loose your continuous status. If you go outside of the US for more than one year, but less than two, you need a Re-Entry Permit. If you stay out for more than two years, you need to apply for a Permanent Residence Waiver Visa at the US Consulate.

QUOTE (Carlawarla @ Aug 6 2008, 07:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
There is both primary and secondary evidence. Primary evidence is things like boarding passes and passport stamps. Secondary evidence is pictures and emails.
When you first submit your I-129F, you're to send evidence of having met at least once in two years so primary evidence is the most important. Some people send a couple of pictures.

Make sure you keep your cards and notes, and phone bills etc. for having them at the interview when you'll be asked for evidence of an ongoing relationship.

Thanks pushbrk and fwaguy for your responses. Though I understand the reason behind the suggestions, some others may not, and I thought it would help if you guys elaborated some on your comments.

The main point is that financial support to a fiancée is irrelevant to the I-129F petition. Showing the ability to meet the financial requirements of the I-134 (I-864) are.

Did you receive an I-797 or I-797C, otherwise known as your NOA1?

You need to receive your NOA1 first. If you did, then you need to use the "RECEIPT NUMBER" that is printed near the top.

Since you filed with CSC, it should start with WAC and have 10 numbers following.

When entering your number on the USCIS website, do not include the hyphons (-).

Ensure you enter 10 numbers after the three letters (WAC). If you don't have 10 numbers, include zeros (0) at after the "WAC" and before the numbers to equall 10 digits.

then she had to leave because the relationship was not working out. and she did not over stay the 3 months.
and they did not marry, then they decide to try again, and they filed another k 1 in jan. 07 and got an interview date in june.
Then she had to cancel that because he started seeing somebody else.
We applied in april and are waiting for noa 2.
Now she is worried and doesn`t know if we will get the visa.
any idea`s ?
best of luck to everybody this week !


Too late now but I would have suggested sending a brief letter of explanation with the petition. At this point, I'd put that brief (Did I mention brief?) explanation (maybe a paragragh) in her updated letter of intent for the interview and a similar recap explaining you're aware of the situation in yours. Then visit as often as you can, including being in Bangkok at interview time. If you can attend, fine, if not let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate you're there suppporting her. You'll need plenty of evidence your relationship is bona fide.




And exactly how is he supposed to get his passport to her, and why in all that's holy would anyone ever surrender their passport to someone else? blink.gif


Please note, to effectively communicate in English one must be able to be unambiguous write. "If you can attend, fine, if not" does the attend refer to Attending the embassy at interview time, or does it mean to be in the interview so no need to see the passport. You took it to mean be with her in the embassy and could not go into the interview, others did not.


You're making my point about complete sentences. Towards the end of then sentence your question is answered with the phrase, "let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate you're there suppporting her."

Again, you cannot demonstrate you're there unless you're there, making how you get your passport to her, pretty simple.





And when you wrote "you're there supporting her", you didn't explicitly state where there was? There in the country, there in the consulate, or there in spirit?

When you wrote "If you can attend, fine, if not" meant what exactly? If you can attend by being in the country, or actually attend the interview?

It would have been much clearer if written as follows:

Then visit as often as you can, including being in Bangkok at the time of the interview. If you can attend the interview with your fiancee, fine, if you are not allowed to go inside the consulate with her, then let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate to the CO that you are outside waiting for her and supporting her.

But hey, I'm an engineer, not an English expert such as you.

I do effectively understand written communication in English, but only when it is written correctly.

If he were there in Bangkok, then why would he not go inside with her, but rather hand over his passport to her?

What you suggest makes no sense at all. But I forget, you are an expert on all consulates in Asia, including Bangkok.


I am not going to get into the discussion of whether giving the alien the USC's passport or not is a good idea, but the point is that it might be helpful to the "bonafide relationship" evidence to indicate that the USC is in nearby. Whether that is done by showing the CO proof by offering the USC's passport or just say that they are here and if they want to speak with them that can be arranged.

But as to why the USC would not go inside, is because some consulates do NOT allow anyone but the applicant in.....


Very well put fwaguy. In the case of Bangkok, the petitioner IS allowed inside the consulate. I even stood at the window when the CO interviewed my then fiancee.

You definitely should have made copies and sent them, but since that's in the past, you need to start collecting new evidence.

Believe me, when you get to the consolate, they are not going to spend time looking at what was sent them by the NVC, they want you to provide them everything they require, on-the-spot. That includes pictures, e-mails, phone records, and anything else to prove a bona fide relationship.

I have heard a lot of horror stories already regarding use of lawyers for immigration. It goes without saying that I would feel worse about spending a lot of money on a lawyer who messes everything up. But then again, this leaves me someone to hold accountable, I think.

My girlfriend is from Thailand. Any idea how much experience the people who frequent this board have with obtaining a K1 for a Thai woman?


There are many of us with experience. Try checking out the "SAWASDEE 2" thread in this forum. You might have to go a few pages to find it, depending on the last time someone posted.

Keep your itineraries, boarding passes, and make copies of the stamps in your passport, which I know they give you in Thailand. And be sure to have pictures taken of both of you.

The itineraries, boarding passes, and passport stamps will be your primary evidence.

Photos, phone records, and e-mails are all secondary evidence.

For the I-129F, the main thing to prove is that you have met your fiancee face-to-face within the last two years.

The other evidence will come in play when its time for her interview at the consolate.

QUOTE (n61870 @ Aug 13 2008, 02:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Well, the petition has been approved and we are at the interview stage, I guess thats what I am asking. I have read other posts you have responded to, but it seemed as though most of them were dealing with the initial petition to USCIS. I am speaking exclusively towards the interview. I felt that the photos and the info I submitted from the beginning would suffice, but after reading about others submitting emails, chats, phone calls, etc I feel as though I am a bit underprepared.



You did not point this out in your initial post, and you have not filled out a timeline, so we were assuming you had not filed your I-129F yet.

The evidence you provide at this point will still consist of boarding passes, passport stamps, photos, phone records, e-mails, etc.

You don't need to include every single e-mail, but rather a sampling, as I stated earlier. You don't need to include every phone bill, but once again, a broad sampling, to show that the relationship has been an ongoing one. You don't need to provide a photo album of pictures, but rather 4 to 6 photos showing the two of you together in different locations.

Just like fwaguy, we didn't submit an overabundance of evidence either. Just enough to show that our relationship was genuine.
*Robert*MaleThailand2008-08-13 13:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRelationship evidence question
In the first step, which is proving you have met within the last two years, and explaining the circumstances under which you met, items like boarding passes, itineraries, and passport stamps are your primary evidence that you met. Secondary evidence is photos. Evidence of a bona fide relationship, such as e-mails, letters, follow on meetings/trips, are necessary for the interview at the consulate. You don't need all e-mails, but samples, showing the period over which you have been corresponding. One or two near the beginning, some in the middle, and some of your more recent.

You're right that you don't want to overload the CIS adjudicator or the CO at the consulate, but you need to feel confident that you have provided enough.

All that is great evidence for showing a continuing relationship. Add to that pictures, boarding passes, and passport stamps, you should be fine.

When I would go to visit my then fiancee, we would take trips together and I used the boarding passes with each of our names on them, along with pictures of us together at each of the places we visited.

I know not everyone has the time, or the money, to make multiple trips to see their SO's, but they are the most convincing proof of a bona fide relationship, not to mention it gives each other more time together, which is important to a strong relationship.

Could you? Yes, you could - and a lot of people have adjusted status in similar cases. But the onus would be on you guys to prove to the immigration officials that she didn't cross the border with intent to get married. She can also go back to Canada and visit during the process, proving ties to Canada each time she tries to cross, and knowing it is not guaranteed that she will be allowed to enter each time.

The issue is not with getting married. There is nothing illegal or wrong with people traveling to the US and getting married.

The issue has to do with coming into the US on a non-immigrant visa with the intent to immigrate.

Please do not confuse the two.

In answer to your question, it really depends on how long it takes to get the police certificates from the Countries in which the beneficiary lived. Some places take quite a bit of time and some Consulates take care of it for you. You will need to first find out where you need police cert from and then find out how long the process will take to get it. No harm in getting the police papers early... the other documents needed for interview (affidavit..etc) should wait until after you are approved.


There is harm, and that is the length of time the police certificate is valid for. Some police certificates are only valid for 6 months, so you should first find out how long it is valid for.

Typically, you can wait till your NOA2 before you really need to start gathering your documents, but anything you can get ready now, or at least knowing what you will need, will be a definite advantage.

May I please ask where you get your information from, since you have not been through an interview yourself?


If that's not condescending I don't know what is. Your basis for argument is that I have not had an interview therefore, how could I possibly know.

Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F

There is no reference (as you suggest) as to what documents should or should not be sent.

It was requested of me to send a certified copy of all documents, including birth certificate, and it's been requested for others at different consulates since i've been here. You act as though there is harm in sending it.

So, following your logic, because you've been through your interview and all wink.gif ...and didn't need it...nobody else will either. Good to know! good.gif

Ooooops except I need it!


From the NZ consulate website:


Documentation
Upon receipt of an approved petition, the American consular officer will notify the beneficiary and give him or her the necessary forms and instructions to apply for a "K" visa. Since a fiancé(e) visa applicant is an intending immigrant, he or she must meet most of the same documentary requirements of an immigrant visa applicant. In addition to the prescribed application forms and photographs, the following documents are normally required:
  • Valid Passport;
  • Original birth certificate (long form) and the birth certificates of all children under 21 (even if they are not applying);
  • Proof of termination of all previous marriages;
  • Original divorce decree OR death certificate of any previous spouse;
  • Police Certificates from all places lived 12 months or more, since age 16;
  • Medical examination;
  • Evidence of support;
  • Evidence of valid relationship with the petitioner;
  • Passports and medical examinations for any accompanying children;
  • Visa fee, payable at any N.Z. Post Shop. You will be required to show your passport.
Visa issuance can take from 4-12+ weeks to process depending on circumstances.
As soon as the processing of a case is completed and applicant has all necessary documents, a consular officer will interview the fiancé(e) to determine eligibility for a K visa.

There is no harm what-so-ever in sending a copy of a BC and/or Passport.

Please note that I never made such a statement.

In answer to your condescending remarks..... it's in the VJ guides to send original documents.

btw.. regardless of your opinion toward me or my timeline... i've been here for quite some time answering questions correctly. It has been asked more than once to have original documentation of petitioners documents sent with petition so i'm not just talking out my @ss as you seem to be suggesting.

I'm an organizer here so apparently I know a thing or two.. even though we've not had our interview yet. wink.gif I didn't know our knowledge was judged on our timelines.

We could all do without the arrogance. Thanks.



First of all, I made NO condescending remarks, I simply stated a fact. As to you being an organizer, that doesn't impress me, as I've been on this site a lot longer than you, but choose not to be an organizer.

What you quoted is meant as a guide, and not any sort of offical instructions. The originals it refers to, is proof of relationship or meeting each other within the 2 year period. It does not say to send proof of citizenship, as that has already been ascertained by the USCIS service center.

You are the one that is being rude and arrogant, not me. Sorry if you got offended by my post.
