i had my second interview and i was denied because we are married
the interviewer told me that we have to do k3 visa not k1
so i need your help for this kind of visa ( k3 ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because i don't know what documents i need

Start with the K3 guide. Are you really surprised the Consulate wouldn't issue a fiancee visa to a spouse?

How did the petition get approved at CSC? Did you include information that you're married?

Seems to me that you weren't denied as in 'never going to happen'.

You have been denied purely because you've applied for a fiance/ee visa although you're already married.

It seems to me all you need to do is go through the procedure for a K3 visa right?

Good luck with that

or you can apply for a CR-1 (married less than 2 years) or IR-1 visa (married for more than 2 years). I suggest you do some research on your options.

Why would you apply for a FIANCEE VISA when you are already married??

How did this happen? U filed k1, (then Married)? and if so why did u do this knowing it would be wrong visa. Im sure by reading on here u would know not to be married........anyway now u need prob do the cr1 and plan on about a year more wait.....i just cant believe u would start k1 then marry knowing it would stop the case as it was.

when we began the procedure we are not married
we got married after my interview because i can not go with my husband with out marry him because my parents don't accept that we are muslems
after my interview , the interviewer give to me the 221 g AP and i am waiting for 9 mounth.......
in my second interview the interviewer told me if we got married i say yes
she told me thank you for your response and you are ineligible for this kind of visa and your husband must to apply foe you the k3 is the faster procedure than the cr1
i told the interviewer the truth!!!!!!!!!!!
now we have to began the new procedure k3
how long it will take this k3???????????????
what i need like documents for apply the k3.??????????????
thaks

About a year - same as the K1.

i wonder why he asked you that question and i wonder why you told him yes .
don't you know that they will deny you if you get married before you move to usa????
i'm so sorry about that

If she has not answered truthfully and they for some reason granted ther the K1 and then she went to the US under false pretenses, her AOS would have been denied and she'd have been deported.

Better now than then, if you follow.

The K3 process really isn't too much different than the K1, just a couple extra forms is all. Read the Guides at the top of the page and if you've already done the K1, the K3 shouldn't be a problem.

Im sorry this happend to you, but it did. File for a K3 or a CR-1 California processing center is pretty quick in the recent months with the married visas.
Keep all your evidence emails, letters to your husband and his to yours, etc, that you had on your K1 filings, and keep adding evidence to your new file that you will need for your interview again at the embassy for your K3 visa. I understand you being honest when she asked you if your married or not. You can do this and get thru this. Your a strong girl. And many people will be glad to help you, myself included with the forms you will need.
Its easy, only one extra form then what you had, and you need wedding photos.
Was the lady who interviewed you named Maureen? a blond headed lady???
Good luck on your new journey, you will be fine.

yes its over and done nothing can change now BUT you knew this before because you post may 15 and acknowledge this was done> I think you see now that to wait before and not live together if that was case would have save you alot now few weeks to wait would have been easier and cheaper than to start over and wait a year more but its done now and yes u always have to tell truth. I would recommend the cr1 to file now, both taking about same time

I'm afraid nothing out of the ordinary "happened to" this couple. They are the ones who decided to get married while waiting for a fiance(e) visa. Time to stop whining and get on with filing for a spouse visa.

Hi Clatita,

Im really sorry for you. I can understand how you feel right now. But now bcz it is done, you gotta be strong and start your new Visa journey asap. Don't delay filling the required petitions. As advised by experiences VJ members read the guides and start filling the forms.

good Luck to you..!!!

im really sorry that it has worked out this way but i seem to remember u posting something about this before......while i understand the religious and culture of what ur saying it would really have been better to have gotten married then filed for visa.......but maybe ur s/o didnt understand this i dont know .........but good luck and i will keep u in my prayers i hope that when ur s/o refiles for the proper visa that it goes fast for u and problem free

i have to say the truth
because the interviewer says: i will ask for your relationchip
a sad : ok
interviewer:a Neighbours live neer of you told us that you are merried
i answer yes
and she told me thank you because you are honet
and she told me if you did not say the truth i never give you a visa
so I advise every one to say the truth because when they do administrative procedure they know every think about you
belive me
i say to him that we did just a muslem marriage because my parents and my cultures dont allow to me to go with him
she says i underestand but i can not give you a visa you have to be single both of you
now apply for the k3 from tmorrow if you want

You will need to provide a government issued marriage certificate and translation when you file the I-130 to start the spouse visa process. If you didn't register your marriage with the government of your country, do that before filing.

thank a lot
i have all proof bills pics of wedding and all
and we will do the next procedure k3
i did not have a choise
but i am nerveus because i am waiting for 8 mounth and the result was negative
and i feel that i am faaaaaaaar for my love
and a lot of think

I agree with most of the people that already posted...it was your own fault. There´s specific rules and you must follow them. Start again and this time, follow the rules.

Why all the judgmental comments. Dosnt anyone have any comforting advice for the poor girl? Geesh! She made a mistake and now she is trying to figure out how to fix it. No matter how the mistake was made it was made and now she is upset and dosnt know what to do.

I am sorry this happened to you. But for now ust take a monment to calm your fears and read the K-3 and the CR1 guides located on this site then you can decide wich one is best for you. Also read through the threads or do a thread search to find out from others who are going through this type of visa or who have already finished to get answers to all other questions. Tell your spouse about this site as well since he is the USC and have him read up on the choice of visa's as well. If you do not understand just ask around here on the site. There are many kind people that will be willing to help you such as PARIS HEART and KIPANDSARAHJANE. There are some other very helpful people but these two are the ones that stand out in my memory as of right now. Ignore the other comments becuase somewhere along the way those people died and became God. Anyway we are all going through pain, stress, anxiety becuase of this journey so you are sure to find someone here that will be sensative and understanding. Take care and I hope everything will work out for you and your husband.

i follow the rules and i have to follow my religions and coutums

thanks a lot
yes i raed the k3 procedure
and i find it good
when i have question i will ask you if you don't have prob
thanks a lot

Have you read the guides for your other options for spousal visas?
Was your wedding ceremony legally binding?

yes it is registure
thank you




yes

you know they asked a guy at the usa embassy in Cairo who was filing for k1 visa (are you married your fiancee on islam way ) he said yes we are married .
cause you know they were not passing the marriage form in Egypt that time .and the CO said thank you i just want to know if you will be honest or not . and he say don't worry it will not affect your visa at all.
so i wonder why that bad CO did that to you
i'm so sorry again about that

I understand how badly you must be feeling right now. But you have to start fresh now and thats the way it is. I think its better to do I-130, it will save you a lot of $$ and time after he arrives. He will immediately get his work authorization, ssn, and be set to actively drive, work, etc.

I believe everything happens for a reason, God knows best.

Why don't you take comfort in that you were honest and file for the marriage visa. Believe me, it is much much better for him and you in the long run.

I know you are sad because you now have to wait for the K-3 but I want to point out that you did a good thing - you were honest - and because you were honest you are going to be allowed to file and receive a K-3. You are still in the game, so to speak:-). If you had lied it is unlikely you would ever have received a visa:-). So congratulations. It is too bad that you and your husband were not aware earlier that this would be the consequence of getting married with a K-1 before you arrived to the States, but it is only a delay - not a permanent road block. Good luck to you - you are still on a visa journey and I am confident that it will have a happy ending:-).

yes she is a bad CO
when you did not say the truth theiy say ok for the visa
and when you are honest and clear theiy say no for the visa






i hope that

It's very sad that you guys didn't research the different visa types and what they require before starting this whole thing.
You could have saved yourself tons of time by getting married and filing a K3 from the start.

Very unfortunate.

File for a spousal visa and visit each other when you can.
Best of luck.

Actually, I beg to differ. The CO is not a bad CO, this CO is following the prescribed protocol as laid out in the regulations. Your custom required you be married before leaving for the USA. You chose a visa process afforded only to those that are not married. Knowing your family would require that you marry, you could have saved yourself some heartache by not taking what appeared to be a faster route. In this case the CO was right, and unfortunately, you and your husband made the wrong choice.

the CO is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and she did her work

Just a caution....sometimes sarcasm can bite an alien in the a$$...especially in harsh consular offices :lol

K3 flow is almost the same with CR1 range of time after get approved @ USCIS so, i suggest go with CR1 flow.

Note: if u file K3 and get approved u will file AOS and takes time too.....while in CR1 when get approved and in USA in few weeks they will send u welcome letter and GS.

I am sorry this happened to you..,remember when GOD wants you to come to america you will come to america.
after what has happened tell your husband now to apply for K-3 visa asap and i am sure you will get your visa next year insha allah.
