K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Need input of K1 petition aka I130	Thanks for the reply sjr09 so you are saying that eventho I possess a dual-citizenship from both Philippines and USA would still require this certificate?	jeffreymirasol	Male	Philippines	2012-02-19 00:58:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Need input of K1 petition aka I130	Thanks pushbrk for your insight im also wondering if you are familiar with a document called "Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" that I researched and found out was needed when I get back home to marry her.The thing is that I myself possess a dual citizenship status from Philippines and USA (went thru naturalization first then files for philippine citizenship after)and wondering if I can skip this process since it only pertains to non-Philippine citizens from what I have read.	jeffreymirasol	Male	Philippines	2012-02-19 00:07:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	My i129F was denied due to a filing issue	thank you so much for reply! this has been a lesson to me and my fiance which really disregard the instructions by not reading it carefully.Im still awaiting for the mail letter that goes with the email alert . Should I refile right away or should I wait first on the letter and read whats on it? , and also regarding the biographical info on my fiance that she has to fill up , does she have to have it signed personally and mailed back here to my california address? or her information and online signature should be fine then scanned and emailed to me. Again thank you for all the help	jeffreymirasol	Male	Philippines	2012-02-15 20:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	My i129F was denied due to a filing issue	I was denied of my petition just today Feb 15 2012 because the fact that I havent sent the required documents needed but I have only sent the I129F form itself. I should have consulted professional help but this was an honest mistake I made, the status on the website is on decision not "post decision" and the money has already been taken out of my account 3 days after the application was received back in Aug 31 of 2011.Do I on the other hand have time to fix this ASAP to avoid inconvenience ? I have heard of RFE?? by visiting the consul or local office to follow up the papers needed and will take approx 2-3 months? Is it wise to refile or an appeal? This is a Bonafide relationship of almost 1 year when I was in Philippines for vacation and this is only an honest mistake on my part I have everything from the checklist now In my possession if ever.PLEASE HELP would appreciate all the help guys because my heart broke the moment I got the message this morning Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) Your Case Status: Decision On February 15, 2012, we mailed you a denial decision notice for this case I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).
