K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRegarding RFE for K-1 Visa...

Hello everyone smile.gif

I was just wondering... we filed for K-1 Visa in June and we received the NOA1 on 24th June. So it's been 3 months now, the last time they touched our petition was 9th July and we haven't heard from the USCIS since. So I was wondering, how long does it take them to let you know about RFEs? 3 months have passed and we've got no news... so does that mean we've steered clear of RFEs? To those who have been issued RFEs, how long did it take for them to let you know?

Hope someone can shed some light on this smile.gif

Thank you!

First a 'touch' doesn't necessarily mean someone is reviewing your file. Many folks only get 'touched' when their case is actually being reviewed - this is when the case is either Approved or an RFE issued (or denied but let's not go there). Hang tight - your time line has a possible adjudication date which is usually a very educated guess - RFE's and/or Approvals are sent right away when/if they occur. good.gif


Give it another couple of months. No news is good news. The only time you will get an RFE is if your application is incomplete, and you usually get those right away. When your fiance sends the petition to the USCIS, it is first looked for completeness and then the RFE is sent. No RFE just means that you're still waiting for your fiance's agency check to be completed and that can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Good luck!

She explained that it was not for the miscarriage, per se, but for the proceedure to follow, to remove the remnants of the pregnancy, if that makes any sense.


In the US, we call that a D&C. "Dilation and Curettage". The same procedure is used for other purposes, whether a fetus was ever present or not. It just puts the uterus back in a "fresh" state.


Right, that makes sense. I'm just not getting why this was termed an "intentional abortion" if the baby died on his own without being killed by someone else. Surely the PI government doesn't equate a miscarriage (a tragic, natural event) with a deliberate act to end the unborn child's life?


Perhaps, like you said, because "abortion" is a medical term, to differentiate "intentional" from "spontanious". The Philippines has a stringent definition of Fetal Death, that is does not occur until "the product of conception" is "expelled" or "extracted" and no signs of viability are noted.

Rocky&Bullwinkle - to classify a miscarriage as an intentional abortion isn't just cruel, it's medically wrong. They may have used the term abortion - which in formal gynaecological language (as opposed to common US usage) simply means any pregnancy that does not culminate in a live birth - but if they actually prepended "intentional," this is medically inaccurate. Are you sure they don't say "spontaneous abortion"?


The wife is a graduate of Philippine law school, and that was the term she used.

Correct. The qualifier is "yet." The OP has already expressed an intention of manipulating the system, and may have already done so, by not giving complete and accurate information on his fiancee's G-325A. If this is the case, they are already committed to a course of action.


What information do you think was left out?



Here is what the OP stated on 7 January, "Also they told his embassy that they had been together for a year, when it was actually a lot less. I don't think the US embassy can check that. However her passport shows permanent residence in Europe. Some sort of domestic partner visa or something like that. That might raise red flags. I suppose she might be able to get a new passport."

Did he change his mind before, according to his timeline, he filed the I-129F on 9 January? He also stated he did not give any information about his fiancee's history on the form, because it was not asked. The G-325A is a supporting document, and the fiancee would have to disclose her employment and residences for the last five years, as well as her last foreign employer.

Anything beyond that is just conjecture.

The OP has no decision or choice to make with regard to disclosing his fiance's travels abroad. They'll be clearly shown in her passport. The OP and beneficiary's choices relate to how much detail to volunteer about the nature of her travel decisions or pregnancy. There are no legal concerns with respect to either the pregnancy or abortion in this case because no laws were violated.



Proving again, that the system works if you let it. Anytime you try to "avoid" an issue, it comes to bite you in the end.

Read this:

http://www.alaminosc.....al death).pdf



In this case, the abortion was performed legally in a country where abortion is legal and the beneficiary is intending to immigrate to the USA where laws do not prohibit abortion and where having had one is not a factor evaluated in the immigration process. As such, it has no bearing on the case as any kind of crime. Philippine abortion laws don't apply in this case. The couple may have some challenges but only if certain relationship issues come to light in an interview. Personal feelings, religious or otherwise, are not relevant to the immigration discussion in this case.


You are entirely correct, but that is not the issue that the OP presents. The OP has not decided whether or not to disclose his fiancee's travels, and the circumstances of her pregnancy. If the fiancee discloses she travelled outside the Philippines, then your arguement is valid.

If she does not disclose her travels, then she will state she had a miscarriage, if asked about her pregnancy. By the way, cruel as it seems, a miscarriage in the Philippines is classified as an "intentional abortion" in her medical records.

You mean they issue a death certificate for every (fairly common) end of first trimester miscarriage in the Philippines????? That strikes me as absurd and very hard to enforce. At any rate, that all happened in europe where it was all legit and they don't give such certificates.

I'm thinking no for the european police clearance. She was only there for like half a year, and that was split between two countries. I don't imagine you'd need police clearances from somewhere you stayed only like 3 or 4 months, especially as the country she spent the most time in was on a tourist visa.

Cenomar...never married. Some sort of european girlfriend/domestic partner visa for one country, and tourist visa for the other. They were never even engaged.


Of course it's all in the wording and exactly what they ask. I've submitted the I-129F without mentioning any of this. Actually nothing in that part of the process even asked about it. Of course we won't lie, but if they want to know it all they'll have to ask a lot of very specific questions. They might in the interview, but we'll see.


Interesting. Remember, I-129F is all about the petitioner, except for the G-325A that your fiancee filled out, that shows her bio. If you continue the process, you are committed to the information you already supplied about her.

When the petition is approved, the process is all about the beneficiary, and there is where she will receive the scrutiny.

If he was just a bit less of a crazy sadistic #######, or if I wasn't around to help her escape, she would still be with him trying to make the best of it. But I'm afraid customs will blame the victim.


You have to wonder whether or not her departure and arrival records are within the reach of the USEM, and again, you have to decide whether or not to provide police clearances from her time in Europe. What information does the NBI have, and do they disclose anything about her travels? Has she ever had a security clearance?

Next, would be obtaining a CENOMAR, and whether that process will show anything.

We leave a lot of paper trails in our wake, and somebody needs to make sure nothing haunts her, or you, at the end. It only takes a single discrepancy to bring it all to a halt.

Good luck, on whatever you decide.

@Ano: Good point about the abortion and the medical exam. I had read about that from other people's experiences and from what i understand you are OK if you say you had a miscarriage. They can tell you were pregnant but not what ended it. So yea the truth there is out of the question. I was mostly asking with regard to the interview. By then the medical would be done and the interview is with US officials who <shouldn't> blame her for having an abortion to escape an abusive relationship. Still on second thought it might be better stick with the miscarriage story throughout, that is if we can't avoid bringing up that detail altogether.



It is a tough call. A pelvic exam may just indicate a pregnancy, or it may indicate more. It just might generate a fraud investigation, since one of the things they look at is the reported death of a child, and they may ask for a death certificate. If she cannot provide one, then that could be reason enough to deny her a fiancee visa. Sometimes you just have to trust the system.

Your call. I don't envy your decision. Good luck.

I was wondering if they were loosely interpreting "marriage broker" and "international".

There is something called the "Murphy Act" or something like that I found earlier, but I have not yet found the time to read through it yet. Yes, it was talking about "denial of bonafide relationships" as the blanket reason to give...blah...blah...blah...

That was as far as I got.

Not hardly. They have determined the relationship is not bona fide. Except for the filing limitations, IMBRA is about informing beneficiaries about petitioners' appicable criminal records.

A violation of the act would be difficult for anybody but an actual IMB.



I am thinking you may be right. I am still trying to find the current strategy of starting FPU actions, and/or outright denial, of K-1 Visa cases involving family introductions. It seems that chance meetings on the internet are okay, but some introductions are not.

1) NO no0pb.gif USCIS, NVC, and Consulate are NOT concerned with foreign citizen's employment status, they are concerned with US Citizen's income status, hence the I-134 for the visa interview.

2) NO no0pb.gif USCIS does not need to be notified of either person's employment status.

3) NO no0pb.gif USCIS does not need to be informed. Later when it reaches NVC inform NVC or DOS or Consulate of address chnage so that they can send the packages to the correct address.


Once you receive your NOA#2 from the USCIS, stating your petition is approved, then your fiancee can get the whole packet online and see what she needs to do for her interview. Check out the website for the embassy she will be applying for her K-1 Visa at.

Do you live near the SeaFood City? Baka meron sila doon.

But you can also use malunggay or spinach leaves. Yummy...

Hi Chinook! Yeah they do sell dahon ng sili in Seafood City, but it's 50 miles away. Don't know when husband and I will go to Vallejo, but the chili leaves are on the top of my shopping list now. There's an Asian store in Santa Rosa, but I don't see any dahol ng sili. Just the papaya which cost too much. I guess I'm gonna use spinach. Thanks.

PhilippinesThe 25 Day Shuffle & Share

So maybe it's just me but the PI boards have been a little dull as of late.. I was hoping to maybe kick off a fun thread..

So today is officially 25 days before I pick May up at JFK and to say I'm excited would be an understatement. I wanted to share some of the things I've done to prep for her arrival and ask others to share their stories about picking their significant others up at the airport for the first time..

  • Cleaned the whole house
  • Made tons of room for her in our closet
  • Order The Filipino Channel & AT&T U-Verse
  • Made a shopping list of some foods to pick up the day before she arrives
  • Arranged things she sent back with me from my last trip (women's products in bathroom)
  • Bought a 25 lb bag of rice :rofl:

So what did you guys/girls do? What are some other helpful things to ease the homesickness? I've been living by myself for about 4 years now so the condo has plenty of room for

Also how awesome was the airport pickup/drive home..? I'd love to read some stories... B-)

Buy her a walis tambo. it will help her clean the kitchen floor.

Philippinestermination of previous marriage
Presumptive death can be used only as a ground for termination of marriage when the spouse has knowledge that his/her husband is dead, e.g., if the spouse killed in a ship wreck or plane crash and the period in which to file is two years from the time the spouse found out about his/her spouse death. If there is no prior knowledge of death, like when the spouse left the conjugal home and never came back, presumptive death does not apply in this case. The prescriptive period in which to file a case for termination of marriage due to spouse disappeance under ordinary circumstances is four years from the time the spouse left the conjugal home. I hope this will help. -- Marie

hello fellows!

interesting topic. been in your shoes O P. and i think will always will be. but, i think the best way to handle this situation is just ignore, pass and move on with out lives. filipinas/filipinos who ignores doesnt deserve attention for next time if you still encounter them. to tell you the truth, we just moved in a state where theres tons of filipinas and i only spoke to 2 filipinas. one filipina at the mall was so nice, she approached me with the opening word "day madami ako perfume dito" lol. so i laughed and we had a little chit chat. one at the filipino store and she was nice. we spoke taglish lol, with my husband around. he didnt mind. i met a lot of filipinas at the mall. i smile, they don't smile me back. i don't care, lol. i have a filipina friend on fb that is a certified bragger. she post everything she got from her husband. like her shoes, bags, her backyard, her sectional sofa, her new lamp, her yellow polished nails/feet, her 2 lcd tv's, they've been there and here, blah, blah, so many too mention. my friends from phils are really annoyed with her. it's true that when you came from a poor family and you came to the U.S. you tend to have a combulsion and delirous due to the nice stuff around you.

when it comes to clothes, i think there's nothing wrong to wear a nice one as long as you can afford it. i wear mine coz i have some from xmas gifts, bday gifts, anniversary gifts. but take note, i don't show my butt checks on public unless we go to the beach :luv: as my husband say; "wear sexy not slutty", toink, lol.


Hee hee! Naka-relate ako sa "certified bragger" na mentioned mo. Sa totoo lang, ang aking BFF ay certified bragger at post niya lahat sa FB mga photos ng mga nabili niya ng husband niya kasi jobless naman siya pero lahat meron siya at pati persian cat na nakuha nila sa shelter ay documented din sa FB niya. Ako ay nalokah at na-windang dahil ako may work pero can't afford kami ni hubby dahil inuuna namin bayaran ang mortgage ng bahay at mga bills. Pero si BFF ko eh araw-araw nagsa-shopping at ayaw niya sa walmart dahil panget daw at cheap ang mga binibenta doon kaya target, jc penny, macy's at kohl's lang siya shopping at syempre nalokah ako lalo dahil sa walmart nga ako nagwo-work. Pero my lips are sealed na lang kasi nga best friends kami. Natatawa na lang ako at everytime na may get together kami eh palagi siyang over dressed for the occasion. One time eh nagsuot siya ng romper kagaya ng sinusuot ni Kim Kardashian at tinanong ko kung bakit may leggings at cardigan na suot kasi daw malamig eh 80 degrees kaya ang temperature. Yun pala ay ayaw ipakita ang naglalakihan bilbil at super laking mga hita at braso. Pero ako ay naaawa sa asawa dahil siya ang nagtatrabaho pero ang wife ay walang ginawa kundi mag-shopping. Baka mga maisama na siya sa mga certified hoarding buried alive na napapanood ko sa TLC sa super kung mag-hoard biniro ko siya minsan. Sabi niya ay konti pa nga lang daw ang gamit na nabili niya.

Sabi naman ni hubby eh tumahimik na lang daw ako dahil kami may sariling bahay at sila ay nagre-rent laang. He he!

I work at the jewelry dept at meron customer na couple. Pinay yung girl. Ngumiti sa akin yung guy. Pero yung Pinay nakayuko kaya at ayaw tumingin sa akin. Hindi ko na rin tiningnan. Tapos umalis na sila. Siguro sinabi niya sa husband niya, "let's go".

pero kanina naman dumaan kami ng asawa ko sa market na malapit dito sa bahay para bumili ng chicken, aba itong older woman na puti nakasabay namin papasok sa store, talagang nanlaki ang mga mata nung nakita kaming dalawa ng husband ko. Parang gusto niya sabihin bakit kasama mo siya? Ewan. Hindi lang yata mga Pinay. Pero mga matatandang puti din may pagka-chismosa.

Sabi ng husband ko problema na nila yun. Not mine.

PhilippinesWhy there are pinays out there who feels so conceited about theirselves once they arrived here in the States?

I have been to few states for work purposes and sometimes when I met a filipina as well, considering the time she was just here in the states, (say just 2-6 months) they feel like they've just earn the right to be a b**ch, and some thinks their a$*es don't stink.. I mean, there are so many trying hard to blend-in that quick in the American way ( e.g the way they cloth their selves, the way they talk, interpret things). Just because some girls married a foreigner they evolved too quick. I don't blame other people why they would immediately think that these types of gals really just use their husbands as a ticket to the USA. It makes me aggravated everytime I come across with a fellow pinay who acts like this.
Why can't we just put our feet on the ground and stay humble. CAN SOMEBODY ENLIGHTEN ME WHY THIS HAPPENS???


I wanted to blend with the Mexicans after I got here. I don't know why. I love the Mexican humor, the food and the way they take pride in their culture. Sounds like Pinoys to me. But, according to my American husband,who is as very keen observer, Pinays in America have the tendency to confuse their abilities with their position. Filipino skills do not equal American skills despite what they were doing in the Philippines.


I think he may be right. I had to re-learn everything I thought I knew in the Philippines when I came here. They are so hi-tech here.

PhilippinesI may want to divorce my Husband and go back to the PI

After I met my fiancée, and found out he was from the US, I ask some family and friends what to expect. Some key items I was told

1. The roads are pave with gold
2. Most trees grow dollars bills
3. My first job will pay me 100K per year, and only 20 hours per week of work
4. The US government has a law that my Asawa must support my whole family in any amount I choose
5. If I do not like my Asawa I may turn him in for a new one, that looks like Leonardo DiCaprio

So I was excited

But then I went to the CFO they told me:

1. Upon arrival he will turn me into prostitute
2. Expect beatings from him daily
3. He has 3 wives’s you’re the fourth
4. If you can escape him, here is the Philippines Embassy contact number

So I ask my future husband about all this, and he countered:

1. I own three cars, a Porsche, a Mercedes & Lexus
2. I have two Yachts
3. I have two maids
4. I am a large land owner
5. I’m in the restaurant business

When I got there:

1. We took a bus home, turns out his three cars came from toys R US
2. He plays with his two Yachts in the bath tub
3. The maid names are, dishwasher, and washing machine
4. We live in a small apartment, and he promises to take me to Florida to see the swamp land he bought on the internet. As soon as he can find the person that sold it to him.
5. I got a job at McDonalds, as he lost his job at Burger King

So I am very confused, does anyone have any good advice for me

This one made day. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today because hubby was upset that I was playing hookie yesterday with my girlfriends. But after reading your post, I was like :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

PhilippinesSad question we hate to ask

Hi guys,

Let's make assumption okay?

I submitted my application for k-1 last week. If while we are in the waiting mode either one of us wants to back-out, how can we do it such that I will not jeopardize her chance for some one else to sponsor her and/or the chance for me sponsoring some one else. See my time line for our current status.


Note: If I did not love or care about her this much, I would not be so worried about jeopardizing her future (L) @ I think you got the picture by now. Most definitely, it is not me who wants to call if off !

Thanks

If she wants to call it off at anytime no problem. She just has to let the embassy know that she no longer wants to continue and return any paper work or visas back to them. They will not prejudice her as long as she keeps them informed, although they may ask her about it if she starts the process over again with you or another victim.

Reckon you forgot to include Annie Cruz and Jade Marcela in # 35. If you ain't heard of these ladies, please go google 'em..... star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif


I googled these 2 women and, sure, they should be very popular with the desolate and the forlorn ... But wait a minute, boy, Wikipedia says that Jade Marcela is Indonesian, not Filipina ...


Oh! Jade Marcela ain't a Filipino girl? All the while, after seeing some of her performances, I thought she was! Well, try Charmane Star, I'm damn sure she is a popular Filipino international actress. star_smile.gif star_smile.gif star_smile.gif


Huwag kalimutan ang mga urinal sa mga kalye ng Manila. Onli in the Pilipins!

PhilippinesBuhay Amerika...I am missing life in Philippines!

Hello to all Pinoys and Pinays here in VJ! Hope everyone's doing well and adjusted to their new life here in the states. I know it will take time for us to be fully adjusted.There really is no place like home...no place like Philippines. :( :luv:



I miss the Philippines like you even though I've been here for three years now. Today, I went to see the doctor because I am always having nightmares about my family in the Philippines. The nightmares won't stop. I probably just miss my mom and dad. But hubby says I need to see a psychiatrist. I told the doctor only the crazy people consult with the psychiatrist. But the doctor says the psychiatrist can help me get rid of these nightmares. Not a problem with the food and all that. Doesn't matter how long you've been here anyways.

PhilippinesCan A Filipina Really Be Taught How to Drive? A Car?

The title of this thread sounds insulting to all filipinas...as if you are saying or you sounded that filipinas are not capable to learn or can't be taught how to drive. If your wife is a filipina and has the difficulty to drive, don't generalize that filipinas are like that. I would rather suggest to rephrase this title of this threas to Can "MY WIFE"... instead of Can "A FILIPINA". Please be sensitive. (To the moderators: What do you think about this?)

I am a Filipina. I learned to drive and got my driver's license here in the US thru my hubby who taught me how to drive. We did not hire any professional driving instructor.

Filipinas are not excluded on the ability to drive a car or be taught to drive. Learning how to drive can't only be attributed to the learner's capacity to learn but to the teacher's/ instructor's skills to teach.


Lighten up girl. We're just having horseplay. Chill out. You're staring to sound like a Kanuk. :yes: :lol:

PhilippinesCan A Filipina Really Be Taught How to Drive? A Car?

If your wife is like mine, then she never even learned to ride a bicycle. There is some hand-eye coordination that has to be learned. I think that is what is taking so long. She has to learn what she is looking at, as she stares out the windshield, and correlate that to what the vehicle's position actually is in space-time, and then to remember whether to turn left, or right, accelerate, or apply the brake. If we ever get past that part, I think she will be okay.

Oh no! I am having flashbacks! I think our first lesson begins in an hour. Wish us luck!


I managed to drive us home safe and sound babe (no freeway for the meantime). So you should relax now and go back to killing pirates out there on Facebook. :lol: I just got nervous as soon as I finished parking in the driveway. Boy, my legs were shaking and a lot of butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Thank you for being very patient with me. Want me to drive down to Santa Rosa tomorrow and pick up Glenn? :lol: Whew! That wasn't bad at all.:lol:

PhilippinesCan A Filipina Really Be Taught How to Drive? A Car?

The way this topic is phrased it makes it sounds like an entire country of women are driving challenged. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "my wife" vs. generalizing?


Uhhhhhhh, no.
