Explanation of Education Helpful?

[Kush_Omaded 29]

Hello all,

 

I'm preparing to start the K-1 process by sending off my 129F and supporting documents to USCIS. However, given the current political climate towards immigration (i.e. current administration supporting legislation to only admit the "most qualified" of individuals into the US), as well as the fact that we're applying through a difficult consulate (Kabul), I was considering adding one additional supporting document to the rest of my paperwork: essentially a page-long cover letter for my fiance, explaining that he'd be a vital contribution to the American workforce, due to his skills in the IT field and his fluency in English. Obviously he's coming to the U.S. because we're very excited to be married, but would it be an extra boost if the immigration officials could see that he'd have no problem contributing meaningfully to the U.S. workforce upon his arrival? Or would that just seem like he's coming for the wrong reasons (to work instead of for marriage)? Anybody else have experience submitting similar documents to show that the beneficiary would be successful upon arrival in the States?

Thanks!

USCIS doesn't care about his skills or ability to work, they only want to know that he is able to marry you and that you both met in person within the past 2 years, so personally I wouldn't included that in the I-129F package. 

 

However, it might be a useful document for him to bring to the interview once you get to that step, but like you said, you don't want to make it seem like he is coming to the US to work, rather you want to prove that he is coming to marry you.

That probably would not have any bearing on your case approval. I-129F/K-1 is about a bonafide relationship regardless of his skills and language proficiency. Just my .02.

Thanks everyone! I may have him bring it alongside the affadavit of support for his interview when it comes to that point! 

Appreciate the support!

yes, his skills would make a difference.CO would rather prefer an educated man/woman then someone who is without any form of education, higher education means higher integrity.yet the interview and how you answer the questions would also plays a role to deciding our case.

Do not worry about it. That new "proposal" (it has not been passed as a law yet) is not aimed towards those who are traveling to the US via spousal or fiance visa. It is aimed towards those who wants to petition their siblings, parents or older kids. 

 

Also, the visa you are filing for only requires you guys to prove that the relationship is legit and that the purpose of the visa will be fulfilled starting from the time you have stepped in the US soil. It has nothing to do with what you can offer to the US career-wise.  

 

The way you carry yourself and how you answer the consul's questions on the date of the interview also plays a huge role in the visa approval.

 

Good luck!
