K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Any good immigration lawyers	QUOTE (william_wallace @ Oct 13 2007, 08:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was wondering if anyone knows a good immigration lawyer for a K1 visa in the USA. My fiance lives in Charleston SC. Were not sure if its a good idea gettin an online lawyer or to actually see one in person. If anyone has any tips or advice what to do or who to get, i'd greatly appreciate it..Thanks Welcome!!! Like you when I first came on this website, Nicholas and I had decided to hire a lawyer. After finding VJ, we changed our minds completely. If you have a straight forward case...you can totally do it yourself. Just look under the Guides up top and it tells you step by step everything you have to do and when you have to do it. Then, if you have more questions, you simply ask on these amazing boards. The people here are so super helpful!!! A lawyer costs a pretty penny and then once you enter the U.S. to adjust your fiance's status, it's over $1000.00! Save your money for that. If you work together, take it slow, you can totally do it on your own. Best of luck on your journey!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is getting pregnant while waiting for K1 visa advisable?	QUOTE (sha @ Oct 13 2007, 12:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello Everyone, Happy weekend to all! I've been wanting to post this question days after my fiance confirmed his plan of visiting me again. We haven't seen each other in five looooooonnnnngggggg months and really excited to be together again. Well, now I guess I have to just be direct with my question... If I get pregnant (with my fiance of course) while waiting for the approval of our I-129F petition, will that situation harm us in a way? I mean, if ever I'll found out that I am pregnant before the schedule of my medical exam, will that situation disqualify me to have my K1 visa approved? Is that acceptable at all? Will it accelerate the approval of the visa or the opposite? Me and my fiance are very open to the idea of having a baby? But I'm curious if getting to "that" situation now can harm our process. Everybody's sound idea will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. First, I hope that you and your fiance have a wonderful visit. I don't think that getting pregnant will harm the process in any way and I know for a fact it won't accelerate it. They don't care. If you have the baby before you enter the states I've read that your baby and your fiance will have to take a paternity test to prove that it's really his. I could be wrong on this but I remember reading that somewhere. On a personal note, I would wait. Don't you want to be with the father of your baby while you give birth and live together as a family during that very special time? I guess he could come over there while you give birth but then you'd have to apply for the K2 for the baby to enter the states as well and that means more money. It's your decision though. Best of luck.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-13 11:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Using Skype for phone calls	QUOTE (Shub @ Oct 12 2007, 04:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Like I said in my post above, if exporting to Excel is not satisfactory, if simply copy-pasting doesn't work, and if print screen -> paste in Paint -> save -> repeat is too tedious... use SnagIt!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Using Skype for phone calls	QUOTE (Supermanback @ Oct 12 2007, 03:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just printed off my skype logs for the past 3 months the other day and I found he basic print screen to be pretty good. U just go into the "Calls and SMS" section. U go to the bottom of the month u want to print off and tell it to show all items instead of the default 20, that way it will print off the entire month. U can edit ur print settings to get more entries on a page...but don't go so small they can't read it of course. That way the most times u'd have to hit print screen would be 12 times for a year...not too hard IMO(in my opinion). Much easier than exporting files if u don't know what u are doing. Do you pay for your skype service? I believe the area you are talking about "calls and SMS" is not for the free account. I have tried this, logged into "my account" and there are no calls there because I don't pay for skype, I'm on the free service. If the OP is on that as well, it's difficult to print off the skype records other than print screening the entire screen. I've heard of exporting to excel but I haven't tried that as I don't have excel on my computer. I've heard of people trying it and the contents is all scrambled when it's opened in excel. Sigh, I really wish Skype would allow the free users to print off their entire log simply by copy and paste. Oh well.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-12 08:59:00

Let's not get the cart too far ahead of the horse, you'll give yourself a heart attack. The answer to your question is just 'it depends.' It would completely depend on the reason for the denial as to whether a second petition would face additional scrutiny. And also what would be meant by 'denial.' It's actually a pretty long process with plenty of places to turn around or challenge an incorrect finding, or to waive findings of inadmissibility.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Spontanious Wedding while K1-process??	QUOTE (tzeksman @ Oct 20 2007, 02:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Im going to slightly disagree with current theory on this. My mother married a German man about 2 years ago. He came to visit her on a tourist visa and basically what they did was after they married was file for an AOS. My mother talked to a border patrol agent she knew and he told her just to tell him to lie low and dont cross any borders while the AOS is being proccessed. ALso myself in my situation i HAD a fililpina fiance I talked to an Immigration Attorney and he said if I could get her to the States on any type of visa tourist, bussiness, just any that he could proccess a change of status for her as soon as we married. Like someone above said its frowned upon by the feds but its somewhat of a loophole in the law. As for me i just decided to get married in the Philippines and we are going through the K-3 process but i dunno i would give it a lil thought. It can be done my mothers example is proof. Sure it can be done but "laying low" and trying to get in on any type of visa to marry is fraud. I believe in playing on the safe side....not saying it can't be done but if found out, banned....I would never risk my relationship like that just to save a few more months of being apart.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-20 13:58:00

No, because you are there on a visitors visa...coming in to the country on one of those and getting married (even if it's spontaneous) is frowned upon. They could even consider it fraudulent. You will have to return home and file for the K-3 Spousal visa.... I don't even know if they will let you in the country on a visitors visa once you have started the K-1 process without showing strong ties to your home country and your plans on returning there.

What if by accident your petition gets lost in the mail? What if you need to travel outside of the states for an emergency...do not do that. You can also visit your fiance in her country during the K-1 process..this is good to show an on-going relationship which is needed at the interview...you can't travel there without a passport It won't speed the process along....

Both basically state the same thing: "Consular officers may ask to see originals of documents. The applicant may submit a photocopy of a document along with the visa application but should bring the original document for the officer’s inspection." They just never say "which" original documents must be submitted. I'd just like to know specifically which ones are required to be original. There doesn't seem to be a list anywhere that I can find. Basically anything that you copied, they want the originals of. Birth certificates, divorce papers (if applicable), boarding passes, etc. etc. Just go over what you photocopied and send the originals of those.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-21 19:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Processing Times/Costs	Hey Dawn Welcome to VJ.... As YuAndDan has given you links to the answers to your questions...I'm going to suggest not going with a laywer. If you and your fiance have a straight forward, non-complicated case, I highly recommend doing it on your own. Lawyers fees can be in excess of 1500 bucks...I feel they are just glorified proof readers...you have to do all the work anyway, you gather all the info together and mail it to them...you could easily do that on your own. When I first came here, my sweetie and I were really considering using a lawyer but once I came here and saw all the help you get with these boards and the step by step instructions and downloads you get from the Guides here at VJ, we were both amazed. Save your money for the AOS when the time comes (it's over $1000!) If you take your time, read and follow the instructions, you should be fine. Best of luck and congrats on starting your journey.

I know that we had a ton of cards (from over the yrs, b-days, valentines, etc), a couple pics from a recent trip, usual copies of passport etc... what I did have to prove we are in constant contact was our skype log which showed we talked several hrs every single day. Noll - I think it's kinda weird that you are getting ready for the whole K1 process, and your girl doesn't seem that interested in you, and emails once a month. I have distant friends across the globe that don't have email access readily available, but they email more than that... and you are planning to marry this girl?! Maybe you should fill her in on the details of your plans to see if they match hers. Maybe she "really likes you" and wants to be friends and not necessarily thinks a K1 is in line, while you are consulting with attorneys on how to coach her to write emails... all weird to me that's all. If you want to talk with her more, and she cant get to internet cafe, maybe you can arrange for her to have internet at home? If your only communication with her are these once a month emails, I dont know what kind of a strong relationship you can be building. The interview at the consulate is to test the strength & validity of the relationship, and if she seems "coached" you guys are going to have problems. My personal recommendation would be to lay off the lawyers and invest in your relationship to see if this girl wants you, wants to marry you, has any idea what a K1 is, and wants to move to the US.

You have helped a lot, as well as other newbies. I apologize to anyone I may have annoyed as well. I am a firm believer in understanding potential outcomes and avoiding pitfalls, before going forward with the process. Sure, if you are in your 20's or 30's you have the luxury of time on your side to recover from mistakes (as well as lots of time to build a relationship before submitting paperwork). It seems for most of the guys on this forum, their girl is already in love with them (which makes everything easier because she is motivated for success too). If my girl were here, I am confident she would fall in love with me. She has already told me she likes me very much and believes I am the one for her. Thanks again. My best to all!

I have not asked her yet if she would like to come to the US to be with me. When I do, I can talk to her about the process and tell her what they look for in the number of e-mails. Most girls are not going to write a lot to one man until they are falling love with him, especially if they don't have their own computer and they struggle with English. This is where I am at in the process. But it looks as though no one has been denied because of too few e-mails. So I am less concerned about it now. Who are these lucky guys that actually have their girls write frequently to them? All the best to you as well. Wow..ok...now that I know your full situation I guess I see where you are coming from. ...I don't quite know what to say.

If they need more than one e-mail per month, than I will stress to my girl to reply more often. Your point raises an interesting question. Would submitting sporatic e-mails or 8 of my e-mails to one of hers, making our case worse, I wonder? Noll, I think email is important but it's not as important as you think it is. Emails can be faked. Pictures of the two of you together that are dated, passport stamps, boarding passes, phone records from your phone company showing the number which is being called, or text messages, Letters mailed to each other with the stamp mark on them, etc. These are the types of things they are looking for. Having to coach your girlfriend in to emailing you...again, I find odd. I understand you are afraid of being denied but like I've said, if it is a bona fide relationship and you have been in contact with her daily in some way that you can show...you'll be fine. Relax.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 22:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Fiance Visa denial	Noll.... I'm sorry but I find this so bizarre. Why you are needing to coach your girlfriend in to writing you more is beyond me. If you have communication on a regular basis, telephone, email, instant chatting online, letters, etc. you should be fine. The fact that you are saying you actually have to ask for emails is a little strange. Best of luck though.	~Laura and Nick~	Female	Canada	2007-10-19 22:38:00
