K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 vs. VWP?

We plan to have him come over in mid-December 2008 and marry early January. The lawyer said that at any time the US can reject his visa waiver.

I believe the official US stand on that is it's visa fraud. At least that's what I was told that by an official at the USCIS when I asked that question. The reason is the VWP is for tourist purposes only. They fill in the form that says they are here for that reason. So if the intent is to be married, then they basically lied on the VWP form which I suppose could come back to haunt you. I think there are many people who do it the way the lawyer said and get through it fine, even if it borders on the risky side. It's your choice about how you want to go forward and the chances you want to take.

Depending on where where you live in the US, thus whether you file in Vermont (currently faster) or California, he could have the K1 anyway by your wedding timeframe if you filed now.

About visits from the UK to the US. My fiance' has visited on VWP about 29 times since 2000 with no problem. His visits have been short 1-2 week stays. He always says I'm visiting friends. He doesn't go into girlfriend, fiance' talk, etc. Sometimes they have said, "you come here alot" and he says, "yeah, I like it here. I always have fun" or some small talk like that. They don't have to admit anybody, but I just wanted to give an example of many visits with no problem. I think part of the key is to look like a happy, casual tourist and not like the cat who ate the canary when he comes to visit you.

You should look at the top of the page where the blue tabs are and read the Guides, look at the flowchart for K1, and read the FAQ and get a good picture of how the K1 process goes if you're not sure. It might help you figure out what to do or help you understand things better if/when you select a lawyer.


Yah, I actually have friends of friends who've acquire a greencard for a British citizen b/c they had a spur of the moment wedding while he was over for 6 weeks. They paid a lot of money to a lawyer and it was settled right quick. That said, I think we want to do things the proper way. That joke is that if the US can't/won't grant us a K1 by May, I'll fly to Scotland and apply for citizenship there. tongue.gif


Thanks for your insite. I saw your timeline, and at least things look rather ok for the Vermont office. I'll be filing with them within the next week or so.

QUOTE (rebeccajo @ Jun 5 2008, 11:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Are you asking us if your fiance can visit in the US or if the advice you received from counsel is accurate?

Anyone can be turned back from Port of Entry on any visit. It's strictly up to the officer inspecting the alien. Yes the number of recent visits and evidence the alien plans to return to their country play into the decision.

If your fiance has intent to immigrate to the US at Port of Entry, and lies about this fact to a CBP official, they can be charged with misrepresentation as well as turned back home. Any future use of the VWP is lost at that point, and the possibility of issuance of future visas is highly unlikely also.

You should also be aware that possibly by the end of 2008, VWP entrants will be required to have an ESTA application on file with the DHS before traveling.

Thanks for your reply. We're definitely doing things the right way, even if it takes a long time. We're now planning on a May wedding. It sucks, but family is helping out for me to visit him this winter to cope with being apart.

Thanks again!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 vs. VWP?
This forum is awesome. I posted this question in the K3 forum, but I thought I might post it here too.

While waiting for feedback, I called a lawyer who gives free consultations. He said once my fiancé is over here on the VWP, we can marry and then we can apply for a Adjustment of Status. The problem is, and I think this is where the scare tactic comes in, is that he said the visa waiver program is a luxury, and my fiancé can be turned away at any time if suspected that he's coming over so often due to a relationship.

Here's how often he's come over. Again, he's a British citizen - I'm not sure if that impacts anything.
He has an aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins (we met through one of the cousins)
2005 - stayed for 3 months.
2006 - arrived briefly I think (we hadn't met yet).
2007 August - arrived for 3 weeks as a groomsmen in a wedding - was held for 1 hour by customs interogating him as to why he was coming over.
we met during that trip.
2008 May - arrived for 2 weeks.
We plan to have him come over in mid-December 2008 and marry early January. The lawyer said that at any time the US can reject his visa waiver. I'm wondering if he holds to the fact that he has family and it's the holidays, it shouldn't be a problem?

Thanks for your help again!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponsor questions on Affidavit of Support
Hello!
I'm in the process of getting my I-129f package together. I know the Affidavit of Support is not required, but I'm getting things in order now.

My question is this:
I'm currently a student, going full time. I have a Pell Grant and state grants, and student loans. I do not work to support myself, as I live rent free with relatives. Both of my parents are willing to be co-sponsors - one makes a 6-figure income, and the other is an employee of the US Treasury, so I'm not worried about their potential to qualify.

Unfortunately, I didn't even bother to file a tax return this year because I had no income. Should I get a statement of my student financial support for the 2007 year to explain why I had no income? Since my income really isn't what is important here - I'm kinda lost as to what I should do.

Thanks...

I'm forwarding it along to my parents, so they can get a better idea of the process we're going through.
After 2 months of constantly having to explain the whole process over and over again, I'm sending them 1 email with the timeline, our progress, and how the system works. My dad seems to think I should "just call USCIS and yell at them."

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 question?
So I finally got the NOA2 (yay!!), and I'm getting things together for the 2nd haul of this K1 process.
Regarding the I-134 form -
I'm a student, and I have been for the past 2.5 years. I graduate this May. Last year, I had 0.00 income, and used student loans + grants to fund education/living. My mother is co-signing and makes way over 5x the current poverty level.

I'm concerned about this from the guide tips for the I-134:
However, that IF the US fiance has been on welfare or other
government benefits for a lifetime or has no plans to work actively, the consulate can still deny the visa based on
the likelihood that the foreign fiance will become a public charge.

Are federal/state grants applicable here? I've had no income, but I will be graduating in May with a degree & minor in the sciences, which is a marketable degree. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for any help!

Also, the number listed above the beneficiary's name, what is that?

First your petition will be going to NVC for a brief visit then forwarded to the Consulate/Embassy of the beneficiary's home country (presumably UK/London). *You'll get a notice from NVC then of course a notice from the Embassy/Consulate as well (once they receive the petition).

The number above the beneficiary's name is his/her A# (Alien Registration Number). Make a note of it/where-it-is, you'll need that later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReligious marriage on K-1
QUOTE (KAT&Allie @ Oct 3 2008, 11:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question but since we are taking K-1 route, thought to post it here.

OK, so the question is, does anybody know if a religious wedding ceremony is legal by itself in the USA and particularly in Florida or do we need to have a civil ceremony as well? I've heard different stories and now I'm well and truly confused. What I'm unsure about is that our names would be unrecognisable to the government since they are different from our everyday names (e.g. the names we have on our birth certificates and passports) and are used for religious purposes only. So if they cannot tell who got married, how valid is that ceremony in complying with K-1 requirements?

I can't believe I might have to plan not one but two wedding ceremonies rolleyes.gif (Girls, should I get two wedding dresses laughing.gif ?)

Any advice would be much appreciated.


To be honest, I would put off the religious ceremony until after the legal marriage, or until after POE. IE - if you marry in the UK, and try to use that prior to entry into the US, USCIS could claim you should have filed a K3 instead.
But the only way it's a legal marriage that will be accepted for AOS is one you file for a marriage license, have signed by who ever legally marries you, and files with the gov.

Newbie tongue.gif j/k. An engagement ring reciept or pic means NOTHING. They want a signed statement saying you intend to marry this person. that's why it's in the instructions. If they wanted a ring pic they'd ask for a ring pic. You can go ahead and send something if you'd like but MOST LIKELY (not guaranteed) it won't get put with your file and you will possibly get an RFE. If you decide to send it now, then go ahead and get a 2nd copy in case of an RFE. Don't bother calling the help center. They are not connected with the actual service centers and are the most ignorant group EVER per the name misinformation line. If you feel you want to send something now, go ahead but be prepared for an RFE when someone gets around to looking at your petition.

This is not the right advice.

Anything you send now will never get to your petition so sending it is a waste of your time and energy. Can you imagine them digging through the thousands of petitions they get to find yours??? no0pb.gif

Not everyone has sent a cover letter or letters of intent and not everyone has received an RFE for doing so. Just prepare the documents just in case and sit back and hope for the best.


Well, if you find it not a good advice then that is your point.
Anyway, i would want to take a step than not doing anything about it that you will regret at the end.

To hot guy, I don't agree that they will not process any letter send to them aside from RFE. Each petition has assigned case number which is easy to locate.

To Steven_brenda, it's up to you if you want to wait for RFE.
Me and my fiance sent the whole package with the letter of intent to marry and all those proof of relationship. A cover letter is not necessary though but the letter of intent to marry is necessary if you have not provided pictures that you were engaged or receipt of the engagement ring.
Note: These documents are not the reasons to deny your petition. You will just have to expect for an RFE and will extend your agony of waiting NOA2 approval.

Have a nice day guys.

And one more question, since they also asked our G-325A, can i change my old address to where im presently living now? Or i still have to stick on the address that i wrote when we filed the petition? And just have to call the cutomer service about changing my address?

Hello guys!!!

I need some insights from you about the rfe that we received yesterday. I checked our status online and it was updated last December 16, 2008. It says that they mailed a notice requesting for initial evidence in our case not additional evidence to prove our bonafide relationship. My fiancee would just like to send those documents that they have asked from us like his birth certificate, divorcee decree, our G-325 and passport size photo. But im thinking maybe it's better to send the whole I-129f package to them again even though they dont ask for the whole package.

Do you think we just have to follow what they said? Send only those documents that they needed?

I do check ours everyday and since they received our RFE reply December 30, 2008, we've got six touches from the time they received our RFE dec 30, 31, Jan 1, Jan 2, Jan 5 and Jan 6.

How about you?

Le'ts keep our faith that they will approve our petition and hopefully soooonnnnnnnn...

HI

WE got an RFE too last December 15, 2008. And we sent it back last December 23, 2008. USCIS received our RFE reply last December 30, 2008. Then after several touches, December 30, 31 January 1,2,5 and 6, we havent heard anything yet from them. Still the last updated date is January 6, 2009. No changes yet. I hope we will get our NOA2 soon.

Goodluck to us guys!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshi there everyone
Hi,

Im just worried of you gurl. Why dont you just wait for the petition that your first bf have filed? Coz i think like the others have said, coz filing two petitions with different man wont be granted and it's a fraud. That can even lead you into trouble.

What's really the reason why you want to agree with your second bf to file for a petition? Do you really love your first bf or not anymore? I mean im concerned with your situation, because if you would really analyze what you have wrote, it's like you are just after of going to the US not because you love your bf? Plz forgive me but you have to elaborate more your side and explain it more.

What's really your reason why you want to have two petitions? One more thing, just an advice, it's better to tell them the truth even if you will hurt one of them still you are being honest to them and to yourself too.

Think of it gurl a million times....smile.gif

You didn't give full details of your problem,anyway if they said it needs administrative review,it's always good to call the embassy if you already have the interview,because thier customer service is the one who cna answer your questions well,they can tell you what documents they might want from you or why is it taking so long..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSTARTING FROM ZERO
Read the website;details of what you need for a K1 visa all stated there in details...it's also important to gather evidences while you're waiting for the result of your annulment.Like,pictures of you and your petitioner;if you have a child, then picutres of the 3 of you if possible;get your birth certificate from the NSO;print your emails to each other,remitances if he sends money;tell him to get a copy of his income tax return for the last 3 years . Good luck .

I have an immigration atty here in the US,just because my husband wants us to have one..but if you will just read visa journey,it's all here..i mean the procedure and time line and experiences they had during interviews;how they were able to solve problems.Personally,i would say you don't need an attorney.Waste of money...
