WOW! I was worried based on other posts in here that maybe they started enforcing the IMBRA more strictly now. BUt, I just got my waiver approved without being asked for RFE or intent to deny. This fiance is my 3rd in 4 years, AND, I have not had 2 years elapse since my last approval. My case is pretty IMBRA hard core all around, but its approved. For those who want to know, I filed Feb 1, 2006, it went t o CSC, and just today I got a plain letter on white paper notifying me of the approval. Usually, I just got a NOA2. BUt not this time.

And funny thing is, when I go to the USCIS case status online, it still comes up as in processing. Anyways, this letter states the national visa center has recently recieved an approved I-129F petition, and its from the bureau of counsular affairs, whatever that is.

I wonder whatever happened to the NOA2?? Strange.

third in four years? lol

i dont feel so bad now...

Im on my second k-1 application in four years.

I finally got my imbra waiver approved to but got married so now I have to start over again with the k3 and ANOTHER 129f. I am nottttttttttttttttttttttt happy

I am getting read to under go the same issue with visa request. I am in the process of filing a 129f, which I had one approved last Dec, but it didn't workout so she returned home. Can you reply with what format you used for the waiver and the process you used?

Thanks!!!!

You just type up a letter with "IMBRA Wiaver Request" as the subject title. Explain what happened and if possible, provide evidence supporting what happned and why it didnt work out. I provided all my x fiances namd am email and ph# and their emails and yahoo chats of them admitting to backing out on me. IMBRA is looking ofrr guys who abuse the system. If you show you acted in good faith and things just didnt work out, you are fine

Congratulations

That's a bit of good news to those of us who have been through at least one other I-129f. Good job. Also, is it possible that only your waiver was approved and not the I-129f yet?? If that makes any sense.

Keep us posted how it is going but my bet is that it will go into Administrative Review while it is at NVC. I hope not but you should know soon.

Well, looks like it sailed right through. My fiance had her interview yesterday. They gave her the standard pink slip and adviseed he r to pay at the counter. She does need to come back with a updated NBI and passport. I think its because she did a name change years ago from genicel to jeanizle and perhaps not everything matched up.

If they admin reviewed her, I would have thought she would have been advised something like" wait till you hear from us" and would have been given a 2nd slip(white one from what I hear) I think.

They didnt say anything to indicate she was going in review. We both think she only needs to send them the updated stuff.

You stated you filed feb 2006 and your posting is dated may 2007, so this means it had taken over a year to get your I 129F approved?

congrats

Congratulations to you, Steve55, and your fiance.

A pretty long road.

Could be but I doubt it. My waiver approval for exactly the same thing was concurrent with the I129F approval.....one and all the same.

Hope you have better luck with this fiancee too. It must be getting a bit costly.

Oops, that should have said Feb 2007. My bad

Hi all

Hope you all are keeping warm, with your loved ones! I am in a similar situation, with a twist:

We are currently in the process of filing a K1 (preparing the I-129F) but I realized I would need a waiver. My boyfriend previously married his first wife while she was here on vacation (went through adjustment of status procedure) but divorced after four years. Then he filed a K1 for another woman he met, K1 approved, the woman moved here but they finally did not get married. The woman went back to her home country.

My question is: when we submit a waiver request, do we have to mention his first marriage, even that was not a K1 petition? Or we are only looking for more troubles if volunteering that information?

By the way, we file a waiver request with the I-129F, correct? Just want to make sure!!

Any advice or experience sharing will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rach

It is a requirement to list all prior divorces.

Actually, it is required tom list all prior marriages whether they ended in divorce or death.

I guess congratulations are in order....3rd in four years....
