K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresprevious conviction

I would suggest calling congress man for your statte and ask for help...they would advice you who is best lawyer for your case...hope this helps and good luck

Do NOT call your congressman, they will not get involved at this time of your case. They usually get involved if the petition is taking too long, to find out any problems with the petition, and there are a few other things maybe other ppl can add.
And at this time in your case, you dont need a waiver for anything.

good luck on your journey!! :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRunning Out of Time
Ive been on VJ a long time, and everyday when i come on it amazes me when i see new members try their hardest to either find a way to expedite their petition or find some retard shortcut to get the visa process done faster. and then when given advice from a vj member who has been here much longer, the advice is lashed at as if the older member knows diddly squat about any of this process.
And i really believe in the FAQ's should be in BOLD lettering, "DO NOT PLAN OR PAY FOR A WEDDING BEFORE APPROVAL OF INTERVEW" my goodness, its common sence to me, this is USCIS, they are SLOW, and even if they are not, no one knows how backed up the embassy may be come interview time.
The immigration process is stressful and hectic, (for the new members) WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THRU IT OR (for some) ARE STILL GOING THRU IT!!! When given some advice, take it into thought, dont argue back about it.
My best advice and any of the newbies can take it or leave it, sit back and relex, its not an easy process, and no matter what you do it wont be any easier. Dont go by other ppl's timelines to make YOURS. NONE of us are the same or in the same situation, and everyone will have different timelines.
If you choose to do things wrongly, then your only punishing yourself, when advised not to do it, and still doing it, then omg you will only have yourself to blame.
USCIS is not fair, NO, omg news flash!!! :blink: BUT they are the ones who make the final choice in what happens with your petition. again, sit back, enjoy some OT on VJ and just wait til your time comes for rejoicing! Trying to make shortcuts in the immigration process will ONLY hurt YOU!
Oh and btw your congressional office will not do anything about an expidited petition unless its VERY important.

I asked her to marry me and we started the K1 process. So far, we are at the point of her going to get a visitors visa and being denied because she has a fiancee in America.


What's her original country? Where is she engaged to this other guy? Is she going to end things off with him?

Why does she have two men!!

so confused.


hes talking about himself in the 3rd party!!!!! :blink:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswould u believe it???

yeah am sooooooooooo pissed.. i dont know what will i do now.. I did called the CIS and said they already sent my papers in my consulate... they keep telling me that i insisted cis should send it in nvc, but they keep still telling me its in my consulate

nwei thanks for the comment and idea


That's Weird. But, I remember reading some time ago about the Service Centers sending to the Embassy/Consulate direct. Seems like last fall or early winter that was being done from time to time. Anyone else remember that?


They send to the NVC first, not to the embassy/consulate
If the NVC has not recieved it yet call CSC and ask them about it. From what i understand when i called back a year ago when NVC hadnt recieved mine they send the approvals in batches. And they only send them out once or twice a week in bulk loads. Yours may be on a batch that just hasnt been sent out yet or was JUST sent out. Be patient, sometimes it takes CSC a while to get the approved petition to NVC, remember there are thousands that are being sent every week.
Good Luck :) hope this helps a bit to know

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow to mail REF Response

You can use express overnight. Remember the sooner you get it there the sooner they can get back on the case.
And yes express mail can be sent to a PO box.
good luck

I was wondering if I should send my REF response back to CSC by Express overnight (Fed-ex) or regular USPS airmail? Can express mail be mailed to the CSA since the address is a P.O. Box number?



Hi, I believe you are better off sending it USPS because FED-EX doesn't deliver to P.O. Box

Good luck Diana :dance:


I would use Express Mail from the USPS. Since it is already Friday and they don't work on Saturday "overnight" gains you nothing, I suggest "Priority Mail" with "delivery confirmation". The USPS delivers it. You get a package number and check for confirmation of delivery on USPS.com Mailing today will get it delivered on Monday and you'll see the confirmation Monday night or Tuesday. You also have confirmation of the sent date on your receipt.

it will get there either way, if she wants it there FAST then its fine to send it overnight express. I did on a friday and it was signed for on a saturday.


To each their own. USCIS doesn't work Saturdays, so I wouldn't spend the extra money. Actually, unless there was a deadline of some sort for "receipt" I don't see much point in paying extra to save one day in a months long process.

great :wacko:
and i was giving my advice that when i sent overnight express on friday it was signed on Saturday. By whoever, it was signed and my RFE was completed quickly after that.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresage requirement

no im not over looking that we have to meet.i know we do and have said it a few times already.i know what i have to doa dn im very aware of it.i even told her that.so we both know whatw e ahve to do but im just trying to find out if she can come without her parents permission on a fiancee visa.i know about everything else for sure.



More than once in this thread you have been told that she will need her parents' permission to come on the fiancee visa until she is at least 23. Waiting for a different answer will not change this. She will not be able to leave the Philippines on a K1 visa without their permission because the CFO will not give her the required exit stamp without it. This is not speculation. If someone tells you otherwise, then you are getting false information.

i already have some1 to co-sponsor.


You should also be aware that the consulate in Manila approves very few cosponsors for K1 visas. What is the relationship of the cosponsor to you?


for the bolded, he knows this already, its been said alot. he was only stating his reason for posting this thread, he wasnt asking AGAIN the same question.


for the OP. get the concept of marriage out of your head for now. go meet her, spend some time with her, meet her parents, and once the meeting is over, then decide if marriage is right. And remember, your marrying her bc you love her, your not marrying her bc she needs rescued. correct? bc i didnt see you say you love her, only that you wnt to rescue her. good luck Nathan

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 VISA DENIED
Im just concerned over the denial. I dont think it was denied bc of a form not being signed, they would have certainly sent that back to be signed causing the approval/denial to take a bit longer, not not strait out denied. I think something is missing in the story.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it possible to extend a K1 Visa?

people from Canada who has to go to MTL for interview , ( like liz and my self and so many others ) wish we would be with our fiances and have the oportunity to get married within 90 days as we talk ,
but we have to waite close to a year if not even longer from the time we send I 129f , so why not get married while you have a chance , unless you have cold feet and want to back out , but even then there is a reason why USCIS like to see couples file after they knowen eachother for 2 years ,
like the previouse posts said a civil marriage will do ,
( hell I would marry my baby at the Walmart if i ran into a priest tomorrow if the consulate would give me a visa tomorrow, but thats just me ) Lona


Where do USCIS say they want couples to have known each other for two years?

(They don't.)

They dont ? Oh well regardless i would still marry my babe tomorrow if I could


:no:

All they require is that you have met in person within the last 2 years.


I think the original poster of that statement MEANT "met within 2 years" but worded it wrong, therefore ppl need to make sure they word what they are saying carefully in order to stop misinformation on other members asking questions.

thats exactly what I ment , and yes I should have been more clear but when you speak multiple languages it can happen you make a mistake in wording on what you realy mean to say ,
I will watch my wording more in the future thanks for clearing that up :yes: , Lona


Thats why i brought it up, being speaking 2 languages it can get confusing when trying to express yourself fully. So i thought you meant "meeting within 2 years". Glad you were able to explain yourself. :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it possible to extend a K1 Visa?

Thanks for all the replies, it really helps. What I have understood is that there IS a way for us to get married past the 90 days if we choose to take that route. I like "no teeth". Thanks again.


Well goody.

But I didn't say 'no teeth' so that you'd go out and do it. I still fail to understand why you're having a hard time getting married w/in the 90 days.

If its because you feel you don't know your fiancee well enough yet, then shame on you for starting this process in the first place.

But I guess I'm expecting too much if I thought you'd have a conscience.

Its cheaper to fill the paperwork out on your own. However if you can get an immigration lawyer to look over the forms for free just to give you advice if something needs changed then go for it. Me and Edi's lawyer always looked over my paperwork and never charged us anything. There are some immigration lawyers out there who will do that.

as far as i know, you can file a k1 only once every 2 years. was the last one you filed 2 years ago?

Not the case if the K1 is being filed for the same person as the first K-1.
Did you use the A Number from the first K-1 on the new I-129F, and G-325A forms? That may help them look up the previous case.



If its not the same person, once every 2 yrs, ok i should have specified myself then :) will do next time

Stop worrying about the number. If you really love the guy and want to stay with him for ever, the 7-9 month to get the visa will be a short time. After you come to America, you will make plenty of money, and will have plenty of time to buy him whatever you want.


Good luck to both of you.



Thank you...
Yes I love him and trust him..
He didn't sleep all last night,we were talking
about all this visa issues.Not long time before
he got out from the hospital,he had a minor
heart trouble caused of stress.
He didn't want me to go to Korea,because
he feels better with me staying with my parents,he
feels that I am more save here,with my family than being
alone in a different country..
He is doing his best to supply my needs and I appreciate it...
But..this case number that doesnt look right and doest valid with
