K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiancee visa vs. getting married in Romania
we had the same dilema at first but K1 is being processed way more faster than the other one. if you stay in romania you'll need a sponsor for AOS. from what i've seen a CR1 takes around 7 months and a K1 around 5 months

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresArranged marriage?
i dont think that's an excuse good enough for them to approve a k1 without you 2 meeting in person. my fiance has height phobia, a bad one, and he still travelled 20 hours with the plane just to see me this winter, and 20 hours back in america.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresexpedite info (help)

I agree with most of the posts, but I do not really agree with this post. WE do not know if the petition would be denied at the CO if the expedite is not accepted. Afterall, a CO can and will deny a petition if they aren't 100% certain that the petitioner is able to support his fiance. I read a lot online about the history of affadvits of support last night. A CO CAN deny a visa even if petitioner meets the 125% poverty level. If it were me, I would never ever do anything to raise any red flags with your petition. Simply requesting an expedite and offering all the information you have provided us COULD raise flags with a CO. Afterall, general thinking is it is much less costly to support a person in her homeland than it will be for a petitioner to support his fiance in the US. I realize it's 2 separate rents etc., however you yourself have stated that your fiance has sent you $200/month to survive etc. If you offer that information to the CO that it only takes $200/month to support you, and your fiance cannot provide this... guess what. I'm simply stating that given the odds of you being expedited, you can do much more harm than good by requesting it IMO.


thats exactly why we quit the idea of an expedite now. plus we have to wait around 3 more months or maybe less, the proofs and everything else and the decision of uscis wouldnt change the date much since i dont think it would be a nvc and embassy expedite as well. for a small difference is not worth to risk our whole petition.

@Thea: there's no way we will cancel our petition. once im there im sure it will be way better than here. he meets more than 125% poverty level but as i said 2 rents, 2 rows of taxes, everything divided to 2 makes a big difference compared to 1. giving up would kill us. we know eachother for more than 6 years if we dont do it now we'll never do it. we couldnt take the process all over again from the beggining
i needed some medical assistance yesterday. seems i got an iron deficency anemia thats why i dont have any energy. so now sam's trying to stuff me with fruits and vegetables. i scared grandma saying sam's coming here so she backed off instantly. she knows how mad he gets

i agree with everything you guys say. when he came here we didnt even bother to stay at my grandma, we took a rent. she likes him, when he was here we ate here a few times, and she never complained about him not even after he left. my dad doesnt like him, but he hates eveyone. sam always has put me in first place. today he said he could work overtime so he can afford both and i feel so bad for him cause he works so much and he's always tired. if he misses july he wont be able to leave until christmas because of work... still i kinda changed my mind about expedite. id rather stay like this for months and be approved than get rejected because USCIS is so paranoid about everything that moves.

DeeDee I am sooo sorry and shocked to learn this about your situation especially after seeing you posts in the March filers group! :wacko: You and Sam are both 21, is he being
Co-Sponsored at all by his father? I think the first thing you need to do is find someone you can stay with and see if Sam can help you make some sort of deal with them to let you stay there for the time you will have to wait for your NOA2 and then interview and visa. I am not sure if an expedite will just help get your NOA2 faster or if it will be an expedite at the embassy also.

Sam could try contacting the congressman living in his district and explain the situation to see if he can help. But even if he could, for sure you will need a place to live and food to eat. So worry about that and your health before anything cause you need that to get thru the rest of this.

Good luck and we're praying for you in the March thread! (F)


i didnt want to say it in there. is good to keep the other people in there happy and make them forget about noa2 for a while :) we dont have a co-sponsor, he makes enough money at work to support 2 people but 2 people living togheter. but still now im not so sure i want him to do this, i dont wanna get our petition denied. i dunno

sam said: my father is a low life bum who hasnt even tried to talk to me since i was 8 years old

he's helping me, i would be dead by now if he wouldnt have helped me. he sent me money for food and everytime i get some energy i go and buy but i cant go out very often. and im still living at my grandma waiting to get kicked out whenever she's in the mood to do it, she doesnt even let me to use the kitchen. he is saving to get here in july if he rents me an apartment no chance he'll be able to get the plane ticket. we're both on this account, it was me who posted it because i know better what happened and when is about talking to people im more open. he's a very good guy.

No one wishes to be Harsh upon you.
Your Finance' needs to do something fast.
The Petitioner ONLY has to show Proof of Income and Support you. Even in periods such as you are going through now (though not required it is a Moral Obligation of your Fiance')


he helps me as much as he can but supporting himself and me in the same time in different countries is not same thing as supporting both of us while we live togheter. there would be 2 rents to pay 2 rows of taxes. still i think you are very right about how risky this is. ugh i feel more lost than ever means if we do this we might get our prtition denied for good...

we are at vsc. my friends can help with letters but not with support, because the only friend who helped me during these days is a college student same as me and she doesnt have an icome except from her parrents (she's 20). i can get proofs from them regarding the abuses since they have seen the hit marks on me few times as well as my fiance, and now i feel sorry for not taking a document from legal medical center everytime this happened. even if now i tried to get a job it would be impossible for me to work, i get tired from 2 minutes of walking and have to sit down and rest like a 80 years old lady. i wish i could move somewhere else but with no money its impossible. the rent for a room is at least 200$ plus the taxes and all that. and thank you so much for the kind words i was expecting very harsh comments actually

we mailed the petition in march and patiently waited for our noa2 ever since. there were some things that happened lately and we need some help and advice if anyone is kind enough to give us. i've been living with my grandmother and dad since my mom left me when i was 2. 1 week ago everything went crazy, she came to me asking for money for rent and taxes. i dont have a job, im in college, there was no way i could pay her. my fiance gives me money to have for small expenses and i was keeping those in my wallet. the thing that happened after was that they took me all my money and kicked me out in nothing but panties in the middle of the night in the rain. i managed to get in after a while and contact my fiance for help but he couldnt do much from usa. they cut off my electricity and everything else. until 2 days ago ive stayed outside, or visiting a friend to get some food. since i dont have any income exept my fiance's help in the last few months ive been eating every 2-3 days. im 180cm tall and weight 42kg so that explains a lot, i can barely walk to the shop to get something to eat from time to time, im afraid if this continues for 1 more month ill be too weak to get up from bed, no question about traveling.

now is there any way to obtain or at least TRY to get an expedite for our k1? do we have to contact a senator for it? is there any name or link you can give me?

i hope you have the patience to answer to me and not judge us for trying to get an expedite.

thank you

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurespolice report
i'm patiently waitting for my noa2 and i was thinking to get the police report for the interview as soon as i get it. now i have some small problems that make me wonder.
1) at 14 ive been kicked out and i didnt come back home for 3 months (stayed in another city at some friends) and ive been reported as missing and came back alone when i heard, just so there wont be any problems
2) at 18 i got a fee for drinking beer in the park (obvious teen issue)
3) at 19 i punched a classmate in the face and took her tooth out. she didnt get a medical certificate, she just reported me at the police and after 2 days she withdrawed it, so they closed the case

i didnt have any other problems after that. graduated, went to college, tried to be a model kid.

now, would those things appear on my police record and make me get denied because of it? it really worries me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

Ok but you have to be a Romanian Citizen to get an EU passport right? Do you have an EU passport DeeDee? They don't even stamp EU passports when you go from one country to another. I know cause my fiance mostly just has to flash her EU passport to enter any EU country and she has had no problem staying and working in Cyprus.


well i got my passport in 2008 and when i traveled i didnt get any stamp. they only looked at my id and passport and that was it.

@NateP: uscis and nvc will only contact you. you'll get the notices and probably something from nvc. when nvc sends the approved petition to the embassy in bucharest they will send a packet 3 with forms to your fiancee. she has to send them back to them and set the date of the interview with HAS to take place in bucharest, because she doesnt seem to have a permanent status in italy. also the packet 3 will probably be sent to her home adress in romania

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPetitioning for Romanian fiance residing in Italy.

Like the OP said its required by Italy, I'm guessing that Romania is not a EU country, and so she does not have an EU passport.

But its the US embassy that decides whether she is legal enough to interview there, not Italian rules on whether she has to return once in a while.


LOL romania is an EU country since 2007. but that means we dont need tourists visas for many EU countries. you're allowed to stay in an EU country only for 90 days without a visa, then you have to return

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHPV vaccine
One death per month is the average loss of life associated with the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil according to an FDA report obtained by a government watchdog agency.

Merck, the makers of Gardasil, are poised to make profits in the billions from the vaccine, which protects against some cancer-causing forms of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV), but the pharmaceutical giant has come under heavy criticism for fast-tracking the drug onto the market without adequate testing in order to beat out its rivals.

Furthermore, this story reveals evidence that the vaccine currently being administered for HPV may increase the risk of precancerous cervical lesions by an alarming 44.6 percent in some women. The vaccine, it turns out, may be far more dangerous to the health of women than doing nothing at all.

If true, this information reveals details of an enormous public health fraud being perpetrated on the American people, involving FDA officials, Big Pharma promoters, and even the governors of states like Texas. The health and safety of tens of millions of young girls is at stake here, and what this NaturalNews investigative report reveals is that HPV vaccinations may not only be medically useless; they may also be harmful to the health of the young girls receiving them.

It's not a bad idea to front-load by including proof of relationship with a petition that's going to be sent to a high-fraud country, which I've gotten the impression the Philippines is. 1 1/2 inches isn't extraordinary, really. But no need to print off every chat and email you ever sent, or anything like that. Just snippets here and there. If you've got every convo, email, text message, etc, then cut some out.

If your doing the K-1 Visa, having a wedding in Canada, then POE, then entering the United States......your going to have to start all over with the CR-1 Visa. You cannot do this. You have to POE, then enter the United States, and THEN get married, with in the 90 days. Not before. your going to commit fraud.


The poster's location is listed as Niagara. Take a look at where Niagara is on a map. I'm sure she meant she'll be over the border, half an hour from her Canadian home for the wedding.

To the OP, my husband and I got married a few days after he arrived, just the two of us at the courthouse. We're planning a big "wedding"/vow renewal for next year. I think most people do it that way.
