K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Money Order from abroad
QUOTE (Dan and Tera @ Mar 4 2009, 08:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm in the final stages of assembling the K1 visa with my fiance Tera. We are both living in Thailand at the moment.

I need to draw a money order or a cashiers check from a bank based in the U.S. in U.S. funds.

I don't know where I can get that kind of money order from here in Bangkok. I do have access to a U.S. bank account, but no checks. I'd like to do something from Thailand or else our application could get put on hold for several weeks while I sort money out.

Does anyone know what money orders are accepted from the USCIS?

Thanks,

Dan

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFile I-129F while my fiancee is in the US
QUOTE (bingjuny @ Mar 3 2009, 03:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi, I've been looking at the forum for days now. You answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks. I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask about K-1.

My fiancee is currently in the United States on Visa Waiver. She and I have been visiting back and forth to see each other. She is going to stay with me about 2 months this time. I dont want to go around the law, and want to actually do what i am supposed to do and file for K-1. To reduce some time apart (in this case 2 months) from each other while K-1 is processing, I'd like to file K-1 now. Do you guys think there is any problem with this? I see that there is a question asking on I-129F if my fiancee is currently in the United States. Answering Yes in that question affect the application?

I see that the average processing time is about 6-9 months. I've been reading posts regarding this matter, but would she be able to visit me back again while K-1 is pending using visa waiver?

Thank you for your help!


File when ready... If that is when here or on the moon.... file when ready

Entry requirements are still the same... must be able to convince the CBP officer of intent to depart....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do I do now?
QUOTE (srogue @ Mar 5 2009, 02:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello guys. I just got married on the 27th of February smile.gif

The problem is, I had submitted my k-1 I129-F petition back in November. While on vacation, me and my wife (here in the philippines) decided to we couldn't wait and just decided to go get married. However, back home, the day of the wedding, my NOA2 came in the mail hehehe. So, basically, does anyone here know what my options are now? Can I convert my K-1 into a K-3 or something at this point?

Any information, or ideas would be welcome at this point.. someone suggested not submitting the marriage contract or something, and making the wedding we had just a "blessing" or something and we would not appear in the NSO.

Does the fact she is married to me and we would still have a wedding in the USA make any difference? Since the petition was granted while we were still unmarried, we can proceed maybe?

Thanks for any advice..


the alien MUST enter the USA as a fiance(e) NOT as a spouse.... status just at time of filing is not the ultimate determinate factor

Hey guys I sent in the I 129F and G325A with Passport photos of her and me with the names marked on the back of them. And several pictures of us together but none of the pictures has any markings or dates on the back of them. Will this be an issue?

Also I didn't send it with a cover letter and out letters of intent really didnt look like the ones posted up in the examples. So, I'm scared they will send it back.

I mean, I've sent in everything filled out correctly, I hope that was all I needed at the time. Will it get accepted now??


cover letter not required...

I sent photos without identifications

letter of intent is your own personal composition... as long as you indicate somewhere you intend to marry in the 90 days... no worries

Read again.

Jubara, 43, faces a reduced sentence of several months in federal prison instead of the maximum five-year penalty he could receive on four counts of making false statements. He will be sentenced within three months.


I did and I think you need to ... as that is his criminal charge...

"His attorney, Tom Dale, said Jubara could be sentenced to time already served at the Orange and Seminole county jails. Jubara's guilty plea allows him to forgo a lengthy trial and speed up his deportation."

That is the only statement regarding his immigration penalty or future determination of ineligibility....

Signature block of I-129F
QUOTE
Part D. Penalties, certification and petitioner's signature.

PENALTIES: You may by law be imprisoned for not more than five years, or fined $250,000, or both, for entering into a marriage contract for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws, and you may be fined up to $10,000 or imprisoned up to five years, or both, for knowingly and willfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or using any false document in submitting this petition.

YOUR CERTIFICATION: I am legally able to and intend to marry my alien fiancé(e) within 90 days of his or her arrival in the United States. I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, that the foregoing is true and correct.Furthermore, I authorize the release of any information from my records that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services needs to determine eligibility for the benefit that I am seeking.


From the Instructions to the I-129F:
QUOTE
If you knowingly and willfully falsify or conceal a material fact or submit a false document with this Form I-129F, we will deny the Form I-129F and may deny any other immigration benefit.

In addition, you will face severe penalties provided by law and may be subject to criminal prosecution.


Obviously the US government has the ability to prosecute and the penalties, if they so choose, are harsh.

We don't know exactly what was on the I-129F, only that the marital status was misrepresented in sections 6 and 10 of the I-129F as well as in the letter(s) of intent. Otherwise the petition would never have been approved.


True, and that is why no "boxes" are to be left blank. Negligent omission of pertinent fact ,when this information is specifically requested, is or could be easily classified as misrepresentation. Ignorance of the law is never a defense.

Misrepresentation defined:

an intentionally or sometimes negligently false representation made verbally, by conduct, or sometimes by nondisclosure or concealment and often for the purpose of deceiving, defrauding, or causing another to rely on it detrimentally.

In the end, it is not for us to decide, but the authorities whose job it is to administer US immigration law.

offtopic45vn.gif But I was wondering...

Once the USC files the petition for the fiance/fiancee or spouse with USCIS, ONLY the petitioner's background is checked at USCIS stage of the process? So the many months of waiting while USCIS makes their security or background checks, they are just completing checks on the petitioner and not the beneficiary? So when do they check the beneficiary's background? Not until the embassy/interview stage? What about NVC? What security checks or administrative processing are done at NVC?

I am just confused as to how the OP's petition got approved even though at the time of filing the petition, one was NOT free and able to marry? Doesn't USCIS check this stuff?


As it relates to the PI, if they did do something then there would be no need to provide a "Certificate of No Marriage" or CENOMAR.

Each country has it own process and procedure... NVC simply is not capable of accessing all information particularly from a nother country who might not want to give the USA access to some databases.

"Any alien who, by fraud or wilfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure, or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the US, or any other benefit provided under the Immigration Act, is ineligible for a visa.

From my reading of the above, they did misrepresent their ability to marry. Whether they were aware of the law or not is irrelevant. Indeed, it appears to be a lifetime ban.


I hope the USC is considering a life in the PI or some other country... might be the only way to be together. Ignorance is not a defense.

Yes, but the issue now is whether you and your petitioner lied about whether you were free to marry. Apparently one or both of you did lie in the initial petition. There are serious consequences for lying on immigration forms. The penalties are sometimes as severe as a ten year or lifetime ban from entering the USA.


I do not think misrepresentation has a 10 year ban... I think it goes immediately to lifetime

to add to what payxibka wrote:

in certain cases the work of a spouse or parent adds qualifying quarters.

So the best thing to do, is have your wife/husband become a U.S. Citizen asap.


A K-1 can only be petitioned for by a USC... so presumably that is not an issue...

It is possible if the Alien works for 5 years (20 quarters) and is credited another 20 quarters from the USC in order to meet the 40 quarter credit requirement, but it will never be less that 5 years.

You aren't specific which affadavit for what. The I-134 is effective until it is replaced by the I-864 during adjustment of status. The I-864 is valid for 10 years or until the sponsored immigrant becomes a citizen or gets divorced and leaves the country. If they just get divorced, and DON'T leave the country, the sponsor is still liable EVEN if the sponsored immigrant gets re-married.


The I-134 is hardly effective at all... it has been a document that is not been legally enforced

In addition to the above the only other terminating events are death (either the sponsor or the alien) and to clarify what was said previously, it is NOT just 10 years but 40 quarters of qualifying work credited to the alien (could be a lot longer that just 10 years).

I prefer to have her wait until she gets here for her vaccinations, because I can have them covered under my insurance. It seems you all have answered 2 out of 3 of my questions.

3. Does anyone know if any specific embassies evaluate whether or not the vaccinations have been done that might in any way affect the outcome of the interview or their decision to approve or deny the visa application? It seems like they shouldn't or wouldn't, but it also seems that embassies do things differently from one side of the globe to another. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Did anyone had this situation? blink.gif


Vaccinations are not required for the visa, they ARE required for the AOS. My wife took vacciantion records to the medical exam and the clinic translated them onto the I-693 DS-3025 free of charge. They gave this to her her (and both her sons) and we filed them with the AOS. She, nor her sons, needed any further vaccinations, they had all they needed already.

If you have a record of your vaccinations, take it with you to the medical clinic (see if they offer this service in Argentina)

Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProcessing fee for visa
QUOTE (Ghorabaa @ Mar 12 2009, 09:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Is there a seperate fee that my fiance has to pay before the interview? I was told that the $400+ I-129F application fee covers the visa and interview and at the time of the interview no fee needs to be payed.

I found this on the US Islamabad embassy website:
At the time of the interview the applicant pays an IV Processing fee prior to taking the oath and being interviewed.
IV Processing Fee - US $400.00 or Pakistani Rupee equivalent ($355 application processing + $45 worldwide security surcharge)

I hope we dont have to pay another $400 at time of the interview. Can someone please clarify/confirm this?

Thanks



IV = Immigrant visa a "K" visa is a non-immigrant visa so fee is $131

There definitely is a fee to be paid at or near the time of the interview... whomever told you was misinformed

Do not forget about the medical exam fee or a possible courier fee to deliver the passport/visa when issued.
