K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBuying airline tickets in Peru
My fiancee in Lima just found out that she can buy a one-way ticket to the
USA after her interview for about 1/2 the price that I can from the USA.
Now Im thinking that she can buy mine too if I western union her the money.
Does anyone have experience saving money in this way? BTW, one way
tickets bought from the USA are highway robbery. I told the American
Airlines agent if I would just buy a around trip ticket for her and just not
use the return and he told me that was fraud and I could be arrested.
After he told me that, the conversation took a bad turn. I was not very
happy. It was after this conversation when we decided to look at
prices from Peru.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 interview in Lima
Ill try this again. My last topic got put in a remote location. Was anyone ever asked specifically for the employment letter
at a Lima K1 interview? I only have Monday and Tuesday left to get one from my employer and have it faxed to Peru. It is too late to mail an original. I need to confront the paralegal about why they didnt see to it that I had one in my financial package since they are the ones that reviewed it and sent back to me. Of course they never told me I needed one. They just said in a side note that if you are self employed you dont need one. They never said that if you are not self employed you do need one. That is why I emailed her back and asked specifically about this issue. I got a curt response back that didnt answer my question. Also, does the bank letter really need to have the total deposits for the past year? The letter I got from Bank of America gives the current balance and date opened. It says that if you need deposits for 12 months you need to get your statements.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAverage wait for NOA1?
I am Canadian and my fiance is American. He applied for the I-129F. We sent our package February 22/08. What is the average wait time to receive the NOA1? And at what point should we be contacting USCIS if we don't receive one (30 days, 60 days, etc.?)

Also, when/if we're approved and we receive the NOA2 is it up to me to contact the consulate abroad for a visa, or do they contact me?

Thanks!

Well people seems that this will be my last post. There are too many people in here that dont seem to have an ounce of compassion. I personally have a lot of respect for my Vikki for telling me at all. She could have let it go and tried to get it past the embassy. She did not do that. You guys did not see how she looked when she told me. She was in agony. Yes she could have told me sooner, but, she didn't and I forgive her totally. Sometimes when a person does not tell something at first it gets harder and harder to say it at all. She had the courage to tell me even though it was later. There are some people on this site that are very kind and I appreciate you. There are some that I feel if you cant give some encouragement or help in a subject you should keep quiet. I have read other peoples posts and some of the replies given and felt the same way about some of the response's given to them. Well I hope everyones journey goes well and you dont run into a problem that you have to ask for help. If you do I pray that you will only get the kind hearted people respoding instead of some trying to kick you when you are down. God Bless and thanks again to those who responded in a kind way with your helpful information protest6wz.gif

Hello everyone, this is Vikki..think it's time for me to say my piece to clear things up and not leave all the pain to my beloved Phil........I was using my name vikki since I was a kid until I finished college and working...in short all my documents for over 40 years is named vikki. I first discovered I was not registered in our local civil registry since 1988 but didn't find the need to do the late registration.......life goes on for me without it. I was in my late 20's when I planned to get a passport and have to check for my BC again.....and since the lady registrar cannot find my Vikki in thier record book she really took time looking for it from my parents name and bingo...my parents registered a kid with my birthday/details..etc under another name. And that was it we just laugh it out knowing that for almost 30 years I am not vikki afterall, BUT, they had me baptized with it....what happened then was that the midwife who helped my mom registered me with a name that only she knew!
Comes another 3 years and I applied for a MC under civil wedding...the local civil registrar told me that I cannot use the name vikki because as far the Phil. statistics is concerned Vikki... doesn't exist..so that's it I was married with that strange name. The marriage barely lasted 6 months, he went to his provincial home and we never see each other again since then....that was exactly 10 years ago this year....we were separated before I even have the chance to change my civil status to Married....in between, I continue to use my Vikki in all transactions I made on legal documents afterall my GSIS, SSS and all other ID's were named as such...
2003 when I tried to apply for a passport again and as the law says I have to use my BC's name but when I go to our city NSO they give me a NEGATIVE CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH instead so I asked them if I can late register my Vikki now to straighten up my documents under one name.(.the freedom from the marriage under the other name only comes as a bonus, I dont have any thoughts of marrying again after what happened to the first ) the NSO verifier said if our local registry will agree then I can...and they did. So that year I was able to get a SECPA of the late registered BC, CENOMAR and a PASSPORT under Vikki so when I meet Phil I was considering myself free although the truth keeps haunting me for not telling him that part of my life.
The odd of it all, I already took SECPA from NSO MANILA twice in one year AND they give me two contrasting results, when I filed under Vikki they found me under the other name, the second time in a span of 3 days from the first I filed again under the other name and this time they give me Negative Certificate of Birth .......so I dont really believe they are that reliable....like the lady in our city's NSO said, 'just pray that the verifier who will handle your name is lazy enough to go over your file and that is by checking from mother's name or date of birth.
Well, for now I am waiting for the result of the the CENOMAR I asked from NSO Manila, the truth is it was registered here in our city's NSO, I'm just taking chances that they wont find it there or will get another contrasting result like my BCs.......but anyways I already talked to a lawyer, and I will be filing for Presumption of Death of husband (duh!). Just sad to note I just received my packet 4 yesterday and just stared at it knowing we will only cancel the schedule.....
To everybody..thank you for all the support..GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!

I think I am getting a better understanding now of the 2 birth cert's. Vikki has gone by the name on the the second Birth Cert. pretty much since birth. She nor her parents never saw the first BC until way later in Viki's life when she needed a copy for a passport. The name used on original BC was given from an aunt. Since her father did not know any different he gave her the name She has been using since she was born. When she got married in 1997 they said she had to use BC name. that marraige lasted 5 months and he walked out on her. she has not seen him since. In 2003 Vikki went to regitrars office to see about another passport. They told her they could not find where the BC with her original name was on file. Vikki asked if she could go ahead a register the name she had gone by since birth. The office said yes so that is how she ended up with late registration and 2 BC's. I asked Vikki to try and get a cert of no marraige on both names. She has one for the name she has used all her life. She is attempting to get one for the name on the first BC. She went to the voters registration to get the man she married mother maiden name. She also found the mans name listed as single. We are now waiting to see if she can get cenomar If so we are going to be OK. Praying that marraige was never register with NSO. Whew what a mess. Please keep us in your prayers that God will show favor to us in this situation.

I know that her heart is broken and she is beating herself up for not telling me sooner. I have been in siuations where I should have spoken sooner in a situation and once you let it go it gets harder to say anything. I am proud of her for getting the strength to tell me at all. Some may think i am niave. I say I am in love and blessed to have her in my life. Thanks again to everyone. God Bless you all in your journey's

This will be caught when you go to interview. Its why they now do the document verification. Women there will get a new name, birth certificate and passport to circumvent having to get an anullment. It is widespread enough they now verify every document to make sure its not forged and its really registered with the NSO. They will check her and if they find she is fraudulent they can deny her and put a flag that she is trying to get a visa fraudulently. That carries a ban with it. Be very careful here.

Your I-129 F is not valid and you cant put it on hold.You both were not free to marry when you filed so its not any good period. You will have to start it again after her anullment. Secondly the G-325A has information on it that is fraudulent now since she was not truthful on hers. You send in the I 129F under penalty of perjury that the information is true and correct. They will not take this omission lightly or that she has 2 birth certificates and has a prior marriage.

Thirdly why did she wait all this time to tell you when clearly this needed to be dealt with before you filed. That would be a MAJOR red flag on her.

You have a mess on your hands and its not going to clean up easily. My advice is to cancel the K1 before its process in manila and verified. Get her anullment and then reapply, possible with a K3 since you will have IMBRA to deal with filing 2 petitions within 2 years.

What you have here is serious and you need to stop the K1 before it gets worse.
Get her anullment, then reapply.

Anullments there cost and take time. Good luck...


Thanks for the info. It does look like I will have to stop the K-1. Such a heart breaker to think we are so close and to have to start at square one. But I am not giving up on her.


Find out first whether she's actually legally married.


Thank you That will definatly be first thing on our agenda.

That is not my problem. She loves me enough to tell me now. I love her and forgive her for not telling me. My problem is that the G-325a is wrong now because she did not list any former husband. of course she does not have a former husband because it was never anulled. The second problem is she also has 2 birth certificates. I dont think I can explain this completly but will try to explain. She says that when she was born an aunt told the midwife to give her her name. Well this is where I get confused. She has a birth certificate with a different name that she has used since she was in her 20's(she is 43 now). She has a passport and other papers in this second name. The original BC is not listed in her registrar but she thinks it is in Manila. She used the original BC from time of birth to get married. We havent checked yet to see if it ever got registered, but she thinks it was in Manila. Can she still get an anullment and us use the same papers? Should i try to use info pass to try and change the info? Will we have to re file? can we put a hold on the embassy? Will this block her from ever entering the US because the paper work is wrong even if we try to correct it? I love her so much and I know she loves me. Her past is exactly that, the past. We are wanting to go forward with our future. My heart is absolutly breaking over this.

Does the information on the G-325a match the first or second birth certificate?

Be advised that getting a new name, birth cert, and passport is sometimes used by women in the Philippines to avoid having to getting an annulment.


I forgot to tell you the name match's the second BC. That is the one she has gone by for a long time now

I was not aware of that. Wether that was the case or not She has told me the truth and speaks a lot to me. I know she loves me and I truly love her. I guess I will just have to work some overtime to pay for the anullment. I won't give up on my baby. Thanks for the information. She said she had just given up on marraige and did not see the need for the anullment. Then we met and things progressed to where we are now and she came clean.

Not his wife, she is his fiancee, and yes from what I read she was married, and is now separated, but prior marriage has not been annulled.

The rule for I-129F filing is that both parties are free to marry before filing the petition, the consulate probbably will deny this one flat out on the grounds of misrepresentation.


Thank you this the kind of info I need. Can the petition be put on hold and do you know how long an anullment take if it is un contested. I love her with all my heart and will do what it takes to do it right in Gods eyes
I would withdraw the I-129F petition, and either marry her in PI after she gets the annulment and file for a CR-1 spousal visa, or re-file a new I-129F for K-1 after annulment.


would it still be better to do the I-129f since it seems to take less time to bring a fiance here than a wife?

I was talking with a person earlier today that used to work for the Philippines national government and she was saying it may not have gotten registered we will be checking this out. She says if it is not registered to go about the process as normal. I appreciate your posts. I need all the help I can get. I am thankful I have my God for help. And the ones he has respond with good info.

We are not married yet. we are trying for a fiance visa. I am asking what to do. Not for funny remarks that are not so funny to me. I have seen alot of remarks on here that are not very nice. PLease just give me information I need it desperatly.
Just remarking on the facts as they were presented.

"she does not have a former husband because it was never anulled." Never Anulled implies that she is still married to her former husband.

An anulment after the I-129F was filed is the problem. In order to file for a fiancee visa the couple need to be free to marry Before the petition is filed.


OK I undersatnd what you are saying. I was talking with a person earlier that suggested i try info pass to get an appointment to see if I can change the information. Do you think that is a possibility?

let me understand this, your wife is married?

Someone help me out here but I think she's ineligible for a fiance visa.
Not his wife, she is his fiancee, and yes from what I read she was married, and is now separated, but prior marriage has not been annulled.

The rule for I-129F filing is that both parties are free to marry before filing the petition, the consulate probbably will deny this one flat out on the grounds of misrepresentation.


Thank you this the kind of info I need. Can the petition be put on hold and do you know how long an anullment take if it is un contested. I love her with all my heart and will do what it takes to do it right in Gods eyes

sad.gif helpsmilie.gif crying.gif ClockWatch2.gif Our 129f has been approved and we are waiting for notice from Manila now. I was talking with my fiance this morning and she confessed to me that she had been married over 10 years ago. She was only with him for 5 months. She had never told me before. That is not my problem. She loves me enough to tell me now. I love her and forgive her for not telling me. My problem is that the G-325a is wrong now because she did not list any former husband. of course she does not have a former husband because it was never anulled. The second problem is she also has 2 birth certificates. I dont think I can explain this completly but will try to explain. She says that when she was born an aunt told the midwife to give her her name. Well this is where I get confused. She has a birth certificate with a different name that she has used since she was in her 20's(she is 43 now). She has a passport and other papers in this second name. The original BC is not listed in her registrar but she thinks it is in Manila. She used the original BC from time of birth to get married. We havent checked yet to see if it ever got registered, but she thinks it was in Manila. Can she still get an anullment and us use the same papers? Should i try to use info pass to try and change the info? Will we have to re file? can we put a hold on the embassy? Will this block her from ever entering the US because the paper work is wrong even if we try to correct it? I love her so much and I know she loves me. Her past is exactly that, the past. We are wanting to go forward with our future. My heart is absolutly breaking over this. I am even considering moving to the phils to be with her, but My mother is getting up in years and I have a 26 year old daughter with a 3 year old grandson. I am so torn trying to figure out what to do. PLease please give any info you can.

Is this for the I-129f? We addressed it to the USCIS service center (USCIS Nebraska Service Center). I highly doubt it makes much of a difference, though.

By the way, welcome to VisaJourney!! I wish you lots of luck on your journey. If you have questions, there's lots of people on the site who are willing to help, and the Guides/FAQ section are also good to have around.

Good luck!

Thankyou for your time,i;m a little confused.This letter of intent is for 129f visa.I am using the sample letter from VJ i put in the address of the service center (CA),then below that it says United States Department of State,United States Consulate(state which country embassy is in)for my fiance's letter of intent i put in Phillipines.For my letter of intent should i put in the US embassy in phillipines also or put in an adress for a consulate in the USA? Please be patient with me i'm new at this .Thanks Ben

Thankyou everybody,Ben

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIntending Immigrant Visits While Waiting for K1 Visa
Hello All,

I am a USC and my fiance lives in Northern Ireland and is a UK Citizen.

We have been putting off and putting off our K1 Visa papers for well over a year now because of his schedule. He works in television and flies extensively around the world to different locations for approximately 4-6 weeks at a time before having a week off. He generally comes to visit during his time off and is planning to come back in March for the next break (he hasn't been here since December for a 10 day visit).

We WOULD however, like to file for the K1 when he visits next in March. The sticking point is this : come July, he will have an extended hiatus and would like to come stay for an extended period of time (not to exceed 90 days obviously).

In your opinions, should we wait to file the K1 until he is here for the extended visit? If we file in March and he is already in the system when he attempts to enter the country for the extended stay in July, will this throw up several red flags and increase the possibility he'll be turned around at the border? He will carry all the usually items, copy of the K1 packet (if we file in March), bank book from NI, letter from employer and landlord and of course, return ticket and itinerary.

I realize it's really a ####### shoot regarding where and who you get as your reviewing officer, but I'd appreciate any input you may have.

Thank you for your help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGirfriend in Brazil, B1 visa or K1
I have been dating a girl in Brazil for a year now. She is 24 has one college diploma and is pursueing her Masters degree in Brazil so she is enrolled in school. She has a mortgage on a house in her name and owns a car. She is working but will only be working at her current place for three more weeks. We have talking about her getting a visa to visit the US so she could see my life and what is like here. She went to school in London for two years and did relief work in Mozambique so she has traveled outside Brazil and returned. I am worried about her getting denied a visitor visa to come here. We have talked about getting married in the future when she is done school but that is not until next year. I want her to come this summer.

Does anyone have similiar experiences like this? I was thinking that I could apply for the K1 visa as starting the process before she applys for the B1 and she could use the K1 paperwork as backup to appying for K1? Should this be done or should she just apply for the B1 on her own?

Any help is apprieciated as we are both stressing the situation!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 approved 5 weeks ago at CSC, still NVC has no info. what to do ?
QUOTE (sam403 @ Nov 28 2007, 09:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
after the very long wait, 5 weeks ago my K1 was approved by CSC. i got a letter from CSC saying that this has been forwarded to NVC. NVC still has NO info on this. what to do ? could somebody post the time it takes to reach NVC from CSC ? how do i know that this has left CSC ? i see that from VSC, K1 approval gets to NVC in a few days !! i think people geting processed by CSC is getting screwed left and right. really frustrating this !!

Its to bad that the state of the world is such that we all have to wait like this. My peitions have been approved for many months now & are still not recognised by NVC due to the sheer volume of petitions they have recieved.
Its my opinion that what is done there is to not place case numbers on them until they absolutley have to because that allows them to show a different work load than the really have.
I have sent many letters , emails to USCIS & NVC about my cases with no results. Not even a reply. I have asked two U S Senators for help & have not recieved any.
It seems that nothing can be done except to wait.
I hope you read the post here today explaining the work load they are under right now . It has helped me to understand some what.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresShe's starting to worry...
Even if it were to come up in the system, USCIS doesn't care whether or not she wants to go to school while she's here. It's only the other way around - if she wants to get married while on a student visa - that you would have to prove that wasn't the initial intent when she got the visa.

Intention to attend or not attend school as an immigrant is not relevant to a K-1 visa. There is no reason for it to cause a problem; K-1 holders are perfectly welcome to attend school if they so choose.
