You may want to read on this. It is a long one but I believe you would do well what usually goes on. I think you are under administrative review. That can happen at different levels; USCIS, NVC or EMBASSY.

http://usaimmigratio...tiveReview.html


Thanks for the link, this is a good resource. From reading this I think I know why I am in AP. I have a divorce in my past from my first wife. She was from Hong Kong, so the consulate must have flagged me for having a visa issued via DCF years back, so they are giving me a closer look before granting me a K1.


Although I can be of no assistance with this matter, my heart goes out to you. This could happen to any of us. Best wishes to you and you are in my prayers!

The one positive thing you have in your favor is that you filed a fiance petition. So you atleast can go and get married and file CR1 petition. My fiance petition was sent back to uscis, and I went and got married. Praise be to ALLAH my CR1 petition went through really fast. To fight the fiance petition can take forever and a moon. Find out all what you need to have and go get married. I've never known anybody who got denied 2x. So there is some light at the end of the tunnel. And regardless of what the CO said, you are beutiful, with or without your upper dentures. If your fiance accepts you the way you are who the heck is the CO to judge the sincerity of your relationship. Don't let this situation put you in a deep depression. Put your energy into getting married and filing CR1 petition.



Well put!

Wait, the embassy schedules the interview for you?

You can't pick out a date on your own assuming it's within their time frame?


I emailed the embassy and asked for a Friday date, they said they can't garantee it.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswhy why ???????
Yes it does hurt to see this happen, but you know what things can get worse like being stuck in AP for 25 days and not understand why, or losing your case altogether, or putting someone else's A# on your NOA2 or being RFE for something you didn't include, or having to wait a year for an approval. You MUST stay positive and let things take their course or else this process will make you nuts.. Take it from a person who knows.

I sincerely wish you all the best... God speed!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAproval hard copy received in the mail today
What you need to do is, yes find out when NVC sends file to the embassy. You can then email the embassy to see if they have received it. Once they have received your file (alot of the folks in the yardie forum including myself) has emailed the DS-230 part I to the embassy. (check out the Yardie interview forums) As soon as they have received it, they will schedule your interview. NVC knows when the embassy has scheduled your interview. You can either call them, wait for packet 4 (interview letter), or email the embassy, However you WILL need the interview letter for the interview. (Both of you will get packet 4) As soon as you know the interview date (don't wait for the official letter)but as soon as the embassy or NVC tells you the interview date, schedule the medical! Hope this helps you. Good luck.

Yeah, they use the little signature flag in Adobe, which could lead one to believe that the form can be electronically signed. But if you notice, there's no "submit" button anywhere on the form.

Anyway, since you're posting this in a K-1 forum, I presume you're referring to the I-134 Affidavit of Support, which must be submitted to the consulate, not to USCIS. As of now, the entire K-1 process remains paper-only—no electronic filing option for any form at any point.



You are correct on all accounts. I knew someone could answer me. Sorry about being in the wrong forum and Thanks again...

Can you sign this form electronically or is it better to have a handwritten signature?



I understand what your saying. I asked because the form allowed me to sign it electronically. It gave me the option. But its better to be safe than sorry. I will just hand sign it.

The form cannot be submitted electronically, and therefore cannot be signed electronically. Print it out, sign it, and submit the original signed copy (not a photocopy).

I remember a thread that was very popular last summer (when I joined VJ) called "Straight Talk About Sex"
where the OP was devastated by his situation which I won't go into. Everybody joined in much like this one
and he made one appearance after his initial post and was never seen again. The mods shut it down.

The OP here probably started out thinking that if enough people heard about her situation there might be hope
and someone might give a viable solution. Whatever we say here won't affect her as much however as her
friends and family who have been getting progress reports on her VJ. For them now there will be silence.
That will be the painful part, with their eyes saying "I told you so" much more than any words could ever do.

Nobody can pick up the pieces but her, and suffice it to say that since there were no children resulting
from their short relationship, it will be easier to tell him it's over. The child that was born to give evidence
for the termination of his VJ is an angel that she must be thankful for. If not for him or her she would
probably experience the pain of divorce at some point. Better now than later.

Some people expect her to come back and give a step-by-step report of what she has done or going to
do. If she does I'd be surprised. She didn't undergo just a change of mood but a change of her life.
The initial shock made her think "My life was great but now it stinks" but after the passage of time
she should start thinking: "I was going to enter into a nightmare marriage but now I've put that
behind me and I can live life as I please."

Good night and god bless.


Wise words.


Very. I've been following this thread, and I don't think it could have been put any better than that.



Magpie.

I read your post this afternoon at work and I have been thinking about it ever since. I discussed it with my husband, who is also from Morocco. I'm finding his story very hard to believe. First because my husband told me the police will not be involved. What has to happen is she (the ex girlfriend) would have to petition the courts for a paternity test. That takes time. He would be requested to appear in court and then requested to take the test. After the test (which will also take time...not a day)...he would or would not be proven to be the father. If he is...he will be required to marry this woman. If he refused he will be sent to prison for 5 years. I also told my husband that he told you the police took his passport. Also untrue. The first thing my husband said ...after laughing of course...was that the police would not know he possessed a passport and that the passport has nothing to do with anything.
You may want to have further discussions with your fiance because his story does not add up. I'm not saying he did not father a child...I'm just saying if he did...he would have known for much longer than a day or two.
Something you should know about islam...unwed mothers is not a common thing there. And when it happens its like a HUGE disgrace to the family. I'm sorry that this is happening to you and I'm certainly not trying to make you feel worse but I'm not buying his story and I feel bad that he is doing this to you. Better now than when he got here though. I know this doesnt make you feel any better and if there is anything we can do to help...please feel free to send us a private message. As I said, my husband is from Morocco and if there are any unanswered questions you may have about culture and "the norm" there, we certainly would love to help you. Take care.

Well said! Im sorry you are going through this. May you find peace....
