Only thing I thought might bring questions is explaining how and when we met. I guess I could always say I didn't ask her to start dating me until the other thing legally ended.
I just don't want to create more questions and delays.

Thanks for replies!


No need. Just be honest. They do not care about these things, really. Worst case, they may ask your fiancee about it at the interview, I have heard of this often enough. Something like "Was he married when you started dating?" Or "did you know...?" Just make sure she is aware of everything. If she knows the truthful answer it is not a problem.



i read sth similar also,i think u should tell them that u knew her after your divorce,let the wheel go

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGirlfriend has a multiple entry visa - can she visit and marry me instead of doing a k1?
it looks confusing,so what if she visited him,in usa then he made her a k1?
what if they got married in usa and applied i130 from her country?
what if they got married in usa and made her aos and that stuff?
although my husband's friends did it and it was ok.
it looks confusing for k1 visas,shall the usc go to the beneficiaries country? also marriage? uscis and usem's are using the k and cr1 stuff to annoy us and that's the truth.

hi everyone just curious.....i just checked my account online and my check has been cashed but
i've not received an noa of any kind. I have noticed most people receive an noa or an noa1 within just a few days.
Am I just to anxious? I don't have a receipt number so how do I track my petition? unsure.gif
Also is it good that they cashed my check so soon?


all u have to do is wait,and sure it will come to your mail dont worry

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhich kind of visa i need

Before getting married and having your fiancee spend all that money again....try figuring out why your K1 got denied. It seems that you were approved first and then they did a 360 on you and canceled it. :unsure: The Consulate must have something on record and no matter what visa you apply for they will continue to deny you UNLESS you have a strong come back.


nobody answer us in cairo embassy , they dont need to answer nobody they bunch of jerks , all they say that the case is sending back to usa .
even me and my fiancee go to the embassy they said we had no info all we know that the people at embassy say the case going back to state !!!
did they will send to my fiancee a letter tell her why my case get cancled ???
or it will be a normal letter says they dont belive the relation without telling any info ?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhich kind of visa i need

The law does not state that the petitioner and beneficiary must have known each other for two years. It states that they must have MET within the previous two years of filing the 129-f petition.(K-1). If you are going to marry and then refile, the I-130 or Cr-1 is the least expensive and most beneficial because it is an immigrant visa and your spouse will not have to wait to work, etc.
In order to be successful in refiling, you need to know the reason it was sent back and address those issues. There is some very good information in the MENA forum that may help you.
Good luck.


you sure abot what you say about 2 years rule ? ,
what you mean by then refile ??? you mean do another k1 again ???
you mention i-130 ( or ) cr-1 <<<< its not the same thing i was think i need to file for i-130 and then cr1 , would you explain to me please ?
how did i know the reason they sent it back ??? i email them and call them even my fiancee go to the embassy and they said my case sent back to usa and they say we will call you and nobody call or nothing , did you know any possible way to know ?
what will happened if we marry here in egypt while our k1 going back to usa ???
thanks alot

Darnell's advice is excellent.

On a side note about marriage in Egypt. Do you plan on doing it while your fiancee is there? If so, has she been married before? Does she have her birth certificate with her? If she's been married before she will need a CERTIFIED and AUTHENTICATED divorce decree. She will need her birth certificate.


thanks alot we had all this papers

Why was your K-1 denied? If they suspected fraud then you will still need to overcome this. Make sure the two of you have spent time together and have plenty of proof that the relationship is genuine. Good luck.


we not denied yet our case sent back , but i belive its soft deny i guess , god only 1 know
what you mean by fruad , i dont think if we get married we will not cousider as a fruad nobody get married as fruad and if they think this they better think again , she visit me 4 times until now every time not less than 1 and half mounth and not more than 2 mounth

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescr1 after k1 sent back

Hello! We are on the same boat! my original K-1 was denied visa because the consulate suspected we were already married! I tried to appeal and get my representatives involved to no avail. I went back home and married and got my marriage certificate. I came back and filed I-130 and submitted a copy of my marriage certificate with my application. You would need the marriage certificate in order to file for a CR1 to prove you are indeed married. Since the marriage is fresh I don't think you need to have a shared account yet, since you live in different countries.
I do not know if the process will be any faster this time but there should be less time spent on your background check since they've been through it before. Good luck


that was so stuibed of them to do you like this !!! so they need to tell you that you had more than enough to get your visa lol , but trust me if you use the sam evidance to get cr1 without front load your application it will not gonna work , hate that process

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI got my Cr-1 USA visa and it says permanent resident for 1 year

The CR-1 and IR-1 means this:

CR-1:
A category 1 Conditional Relative
IR-1:
A category 1 Immediate Relative

Both visa holders enter the United States as Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) and will receive their Green Card in the mail about a week to 10 days later.
The CR-1 spouse will get a 2-year card and will have to file for Removal of Conditions (ROC) via form I-751 before it expires, whereas the IR-1 spouse will get an (unconditional) 10-year Green Card right away.


would you please explain what the diff which make its 10 years or 2 years , in which ground they decide this ????

QUOTE
Ok all.......

Think whatever you want, but I need an answer. Ahmed has had his interview at the Cairo Embassy, and we are awaiting administrative processing, and I keep seeing posts about DOS. What is DOS, why do the papers end up there, and how do I find a number to contact them to see if our case has left the Cairo Embassy? Any information anyone could give me on this would be greatly appreciated. I write the embassy each week, and always get the same answer. It would be nice to have another place to contact to see if things are actually happening. And thank you for any responses you give me.


DOS .. is the Department Of State
and the papers eventually end up here at the embassy .. the DOS is only a connect between the embassy and the FBI when the security check is requested .
DOS number is #2026631225 will connect you to an answer machine so remember ( 1 - 0 - 0 ) to able to talk to someone in person .

QUOTE
The next question is.......what all will I need when I call them? I know the case number and our names, but what else will they ask for in order to give me any information?


most of times the case number is fine .. the first time you call they may ask you a couple questions about your case such as ( the date you file / your husband full name / etc ... )

the bad part is what you hear from the DOS is not gonna be better than what you hear from the embassy in most cases .

good luck , try to get some more info in ME/NA forum

i get a call from us consulate asking for additional information to complet AP
hi there friends.this is the recent news about my administrative processing .
i got a call from us consualte asking me for more additional information.like police record :biometeric certificate taken from the court .writing the names .dates and places of birth of my siblings.and if i have traveled outside morocco.
so i don't know if they wanna take doubts about me and also i don't know how long it will take to give a call for a final decision.so i wonder if that additional information that i will take to us consulate will be just in the consulate or will be sent to us department...so i would like to know if someone experienced this before how long it will take to get a call from them.
the recent call i got shows me that they are working on it .and what are the needed documents to make marriage to ur fiance in usa .and if someone knows about the questions asked by the airport officer....
i hope to hear from u soon and thanks in advence.good luck to all...and wish the best of life and happiness for all.


i believe that you are talking about the movement certificate .. here in Egypt the embassy request this certificate sometimes .. as it's not a bad thing at all .. it's just to confirm the places and the dates where you been out of your country .. i don't know how long this certificate takes in Moroco but here it takes 2-3 weeks .
since you are from Moroco so you better post your question in ME/NA forums
good luck
