I met my fiance (he's Korean) on line in Sep 2005 and I went there Jan 2006. I began the K-1 application in Feb 2006 but because of his various financial problems, debt, fines, etc., which I helped him with, he could not go to an interview until October 2006. I went there to go to the interview with him. The officer questioned the validity of our relationship a lot because he has 4 children and was unemployed - she thought he must certainly be just looking to get to America for the sake of his children. But the real problem was a few items on his police record which turned out to be CIMT (crimes which make him ineligible for a visa - he did not realize they would be problems because they are not regarded as anything serious in Korea) and now I am filing I-601 (waiver) (this time with a lawyer). We are depressed. Anyway, while waiting for the results of the waiver, I want to visit him (with my son) this summer and meet the children...I have 2 jobs (70 hours/week) and I need a rest and to see him.

I am sorry to hear of your situation and hope that the waiver process is successful. I am so thankful that I no longer have to work two jobs, I did it for about 17 years so didn't have a live! Good luck

I'm sorry to hear this Shannon. I hope it has a happy ending.

Thanks for kind words. If he doesn't get a visa I will go live there.

Good luck and I hope everything turns out ok Welcome to VJ and wow girl 70 hrs a week can stress anyone out, I was doing that on the railway and I know how you feel.

I hope everything works out for you.

In Japanese, " fighto. " It means fight for your future!!! If you go live with your SO, then you must "FIGHTO!"

Good luck, hope everything goes OK.

Best of luck to you Shannon

Wishing you lots of luck shannon! I was intrigued by your comment about the criminal record. Was this something you knew about before the interview?
