K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew to This..Questions regarding the affidavited of supoort
Gotcha, and thanks for the welcome and the links smile.gif

We have discussed the co-sponsor option but really want to use that as a last resort, we would rather try and do it without though it all depends on our situation nearer the time that the affidavit is needed to be filled out.

Also, your "boyfriend" needs to be your "fiance" They do not give K-1 visas to boyfriends.


I think it's kind of silly to beat people up because they call their SO their boyfriend rather than their 'fiance'.



The original poster was hardly "beat up" over it. It was good advise. Refer to your SO as your "boyfriend" at the embassy interview and you might just get denied.


I hardly think so.

And I only mention it because it's not the first time I've seen members get after a poster because they typed 'boyfriend' on the forums.

Seems like nit-picking to me.



OKAY first off.. we aren't engaged yet.. if you re read my original post is says we are going through the guides and familiarizing with everything.. we understand that the k1 isn't for boyfriends..

thanks to everyone else who was helpful.. we wont worry about my other income..just go based on the part time job..

My Boyfriend (Windsor, UK) and I (Washington State) are new to this.. we have just started going through the info and familiarizing are selves with all the steps...the one i am most worried about is the affidavit of support..see i work a part time job that reports taxes..but i also have other income that taxes are not taken out of.. if you go based on the taxed income i don't meet the requirements.. if you add the other form of income i do.. i guess what im asking is.. should i report all income.. and if i do will i get in trouble for not reporting the other jobs?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUS visits per year?
This discussion, while not exactly about my circumstances, certainly gives me pause. As I noted in another thread, my Russian fiancee' has a B-2 and we're getting ready to file for K-1. We had thought she could simply move here with me while we wait on her K-1 (making sure to go home every 3 months so she doesn't overstay her tourist visa). It's already making me nervous to think of her going back to Russia to reset her tourist visa only to discover that they won't let her back in to the U.S. either due to the length of her previous stay or the fact that she has filed for a K-1. I guess we'll have to think harder about this. unsure.gif

One option we've been discussing since I first posted this is to have her come to the US on her B-2 as soon as her K-1 is approved. She would stay on her B-2 (assuming they let her in using it of course) for the maximum period of time of 3 months. Then she could return to Russia to wrap up any lose ends, returning to the U.S. on her K-1. The effect would be to have 6 months of living together to plan our wedding as opposed to only the 3 months the K-1 allows.


I don´t think there is an option here, once she would get the K1 visa approved, it is going to be stamped in her passport and the B2 visa is going to be cancelled, so she won´t be able to use it. K1 visa for entering and 90 days for getting marry.

Also while she is waiting for the approval they can deny the enter to US. All the information is going to be in the computer systems and red flags can come up.


I guess I didn't realize that getting one visa automatically canceled all previous visas. If true, I guess it makes sense, as there's probably not too many reasons to have more than one kind. The only exception I can think of is a frequent business traveler having a business visa as well as a tourist visa.

It sounds like the only way we could make it work is if she came on her B-2 at some point before the K-1 was approved (and hope the agent at the POE didn't give her flack). If the K-1 and B-2 were allowed to simultaneously exist in her passport, I can see where they would refuse her entry on the B-2, and only allow her to use the K-1.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoving fiancee' here on B-2 while awaiting K-1
Well, she had good enough evidence of ties to her country to get the B-2 in the first place, which is not an easy thing for a young single Russian woman. I guess if she moves here on the B-2 while awaiting the K-1 (and leaves and attempts to re-enter), she'll need to carry with her at all times the evidence that got her the B-2 to begin with; her letter listing her full time employment, evidence of family and owned property, etc. Obviously she'll have to quit her job when she comes over here. I'd hate to have her go home for a few days to reset her tourist visa, then be stopped re-entering the U.S. Then she'd be stuck back in her home country without a job or a place to live (because she'll have to rent out her house). But whether she's living with me on a tourist visa and unable to work, or whether she's stuck in her home country without a job, either way I'm supporting her.

FAQ: http://www.visajourn...cation.html#4.6 4.6)...Can my fiance(e) come to the US to visit me once the visa process is started?

PITFALL: the POE CAN deny entry. Having a visa is no guarantee of entry.


Thanks for the link. As for the other pitfall, it's a given any person can be denied entry to the U.S. whether they have a visa or not. Heck, customs could refuse my own entry back in to the country if they didn't like my passport. But as it is, she's already been in an out of the U.S. a couple of times on her B-2, so there's no reason they would suddenly refuse her.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMoving fiancee' here on B-2 while awaiting K-1
My fiancee' and I are preparing to submit our initial K-1 paperwork. Fortunately, she also happens to have a B-2 tourist visa to the U.S. that is good for another year. We were wondering if there's any reason why she couldn't simply move here on her B-2 while we wait for the K-1 process. Here are a few things I can think of:

1. She'll have to return home every 3 months so as not to overstay her tourist visa
2. She won't be able to work while in the country on her tourist visa
3. She'll still need to provide a Russian postal address and phone number on all of her K-1 paperwork (I'm assuming she couldn't/shouldn't use a U.S. one)
4. Once her K-1 is approved, she'll need to leave the country so she can re-enter it on the fiancee' visa.

Are there any other pitfalls people can think of? I'm also a bit worried about the medical insurance issue. If she's living here for a year or longer while on a B-2, there's no way to get her medical insurance coverage. I don't know whether her home country (Russia) would cover any medical bills through their socialized medicine.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresB-2 and filing for k-1
It's doubtful you'd be able to get a B-2 after filing for K-1. My girlfriend already had a B-2 before I proposed and we filed for K-1. Several people here have told me it'd probably be impossible for her to get in to the U.S. now that we've filed for K-1, even though she had a pre-existing tourist visa. It really stinks, but with the power they give immigration officers at POE, there's nothing we can do.

My girlfriend's parents took it very well. There were no tears, no shouts of anger, they were just happy that she was happy. When I met them for the first time, I was still quite nervous, but they were gracious. They don't speak English, so they asked throughout dinner (through my girlfriend) how our visa processing was going and if we were having any problems. Her parents have been wonderful, and I just hope my Russian gets better so I can communicate with them more in the future.


I had almost the exact same expereince as you. Her parents speak only Thai, so Anna translated everything for me. They just wanted to be sure that I would take care of her... but I think they are convinced now. Anna lived far from home and did not go back regularly, but they talked on the phone often, so I guess things won't really change that much. laughing.gif


What's funny is that I was talking with my girlfriend later and said that I doubt I'd be so understanding as her parents were if it was our own daughter. laughing.gif I think part of the reason her parents didn't have much to say is that she's in her late twenties, owns her own place, and has had a full time job for several years. Even if they did have private reservations, there's not much they could have said. I hope I can be as understanding and supportive if it were ever to come to that with our own children. My future wife has assured me if the situation ever arises, she'll gently remind me of our circumstance. wink.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHypothetical K1 Question
Not really a useful comment for the OP, but me just venting my frustration. This is an example of just how silly, capricious, and moribund with red rape our government has become...especially when it comes to entry. They'd like us to think it's to protect us from illegal immigrants or terrorists with briefcase nukes, but it's all just smoke and mirrors. My fiancee' and I fall in to the same category as the OP. She's got a B-2, and yet we've filed for a K-1. Even if the K-1 is approved early, we don't plan on her moving here until at least late next summer due to financial reasons and the fact I'm job hunting (already have a full time job, just looking to relocate). We'd like her to be able to come and go on her B-2 until we're ready to have her move, but I recognize that's risky since the K-1 has been filed, and probably downright impossible after it's already entered in her passport.

The big question is "why?"

The answer we're given is that the application of a K-1 (if the POE even can see a pending application, which is arguable) or the approval of same, shows immigrant intent. We wouldn't want to let you in on a B-2 because your K-1 makes it look like you want to move here! Does this just boggle everyone's mind, or is it just me? Of course there's immigrant intent, you idiots! headbonk.gif She's been approved for a K-1, hasn't she? She's going to move here at some point or another, that much is guaranteed once the K-1 is approved. Does it truly make any difference whether she stays now or later?

Okay, I'm done venting. I feel much better now. laughing.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresJust Visited My K-1 Fiancee in the US! All Went Well!
I definitely think there's a fine line between being completely honest, outright lying, and not telling them more than they need to know. innocent.gif

Outright lying: "I'm here to conduct business." (when in fact you're not)
Completely Honest: "I'm here to visit my fiance'. Did I mention that we've filed K-1?"
Being a bit secretive: "I'm here for vacation and to visit friends. Boston is just my favorite city in the world!" (last part could be a lie, I guess)

Yes, my tongue is firmly planted in cheek, but I agree that there's no sense in telling them any more than is necessary. It might work out just fine, and it could lead to more questioning. At worst, it could result in you being denied entry if you get the wrong immigration officer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTraveling while on K-1 question
I'm hoping someone can clarify my confusion over traveling out of the U.S. when someone enters on a K-1 and my fiancee's concerns. My understanding is that once she enters on K-1 (but before AOS), she cannot leave and return to the United States without first having a travel permit. Is this a correct understanding? Does anyone know how cumbersome this travel permit is and how long it takes? I think she is having a concern about what happens if she has an emergency and needs to return to Russia immediately (like illness or death in the family). She's worried that she might not be able to go home quickly if she has to wait for a travel permit so she can re-enter the United States.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTravel prior to K-1 approval
This is good to know, as my fiancee' is coming here in less than two weeks for her second visit on her B2. We recently received NOA2. At first I was a bit nervous that they might refuse her if they knew we had applied for a K-1, but I've been told here before that Immigration officers cannot see on their computer that you've simply applied for a K-1. Thus I've instructed my fiancee' not to volunteer anything about being in the K-1 process or visiting her fiance', only that she's visiting her boyfriend and other friends for a vacation. If they ask about a K-1, then I told her of course she should not lie to them.

When she came through LAX last summer, all they asked her if her visit was pleasure or business. She told them she was on vacation and they stamped it and off she went.

Since this is an often discussed topic, I thought I'd give our recent experience. My fiancee' entered on her B-2 through LAX recently for a short vacation together. As you can see from my signature, we are well in to the K-1 process. I told her to offer up no voluntary information on our K-1, but to of course tell them if they asked. They didn't ask any questions about the K-1 (which they apparently can't see on their computer before it's approved). They just wanted to know where she was going and where she was staying, and told her to have a good time in Hawaii.

So for those who frequently fret about this scenario, it wasn't a problem for us. They didn't ask for evidence of hotel stay in Hawaii or even for evidence of return flight to Russia.


Your title is a bit confusing... it should read AFTER I-129F petition... No K-1 visa has been issued or even for that matter, applied for yet


You're right, sorry about that. I should have said "after K-1 petition." There have been many posts with speculation that people could have trouble getting in on a tourist visa after applying for (or petitioning, or whatever, everyone knows what it means) a K-1. Just wanted to let everyone know it wasn't a problem for us.

Yes, it is possible and we had no problem with a tourist visa visit after filing for K-1 (or submitting I-129F, or however you prefer). My fiancee' entered at Los Angeles, and the only questions they asked her was where she was going and how long she was staying. They didn't even ask to see proof of her onward travel to Hawaii, hotel reservations, or her return ticket to Russia. They simply wished her to have a nice trip. :-) (and no, they never made mention of K-1 and of course she never mentioned either).

No point in applying for AP before you file AOS. Don't know if that's what you meant. It takes around 3 months to get AP, so its a waste of $$ to file before you are married and file AP. Same thing with EAD.


Hi,

You are correct, we plan on getting married shortly after she arrives in USA, and apply for AOS, and AP as soon as possible.

If we plan on traveling to other countries besides her home country, how or what do we need to do with her passport / visas here in USA?

She will need a visa in her Moldova passport for travel to western Europe, something she cannot get now in Moldova….they figure their citizens would never return to Moldova if they were to get out.

Hello
I have recently experienced this myself. Thanks to wonderful people like maryandmian and others or else I was so devastated myself. But I now have a better understanding of this section. They can put your case in AP for a lot of different reasons. The best thing to do is just to wait. In my case,they have asked for all our relatives contact information. We submitted that about 18 days ago, but for some reason they got that only just yesterday.
I have been sending e-mail to consulate in New Delhi,and finally after almost 14 days they replied to my mail. So all I could tell you is that for New Delhi embassy, the time frame is anywhere between 3 weeks to 4 months. I know that's not what we want to hear but let's just pray that we get a speedy AP. Once they verify the info they needed,your case will be approved. So don't worry!
Let me know if I could help by answering any other questions.

Effectively moving in with you is a violation of US immigration law. Visiting you is ok. Only make true statements to CBP officers. What is to be avoided is effectively moving in with you under the pretense of "visiting".

Guess I have alot to learn about the process. How long can he visit me then? It's hard to make visits to Canada when I work fulltime.

Our 129F was received by the California center on August 13. Since then I have been doing more research, came upon this site and read the guides. I'm afraid we might not have been complete enough. Does anyone know if you can send more information to be added to the documents?

Hey can I have some popcorn? I'm running out of it :luv:

Kaitlyn, it's ok to be a worrywart and we can fully understand how you feel because we're going through the same thing with this whole process. But as long as you're within your timeframe, just relax and have some popcorn from ready4ONE.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhy???

At the USCIS they say that they process all the petitions and documents in the order they recieve them. I know that i have been told a thousand times that every petition is different but that is contradicting to what they say. The thing I want to know is WHY people in November have recieved their NOA2 when I turned my petition in, in OCT no touch AND NOTHING!!! This is also contradictry to what they tell you on the phone and on the internet. WHY :angry:


You ask the age old question here on VJ... Perhaps the best thread to address your question is found here:

heisha's response to this very same question back in September of 2006 seems to me to be the best and most plausable explaination of California Service Center I have ever read.

Good luck on your journey! :thumbs:
