I have received a notice to deny and requesting me to submit a waiver for the K-1 visa that I applied for on Feb of 2006. That K1 visa was approved, however the relationship between her and I was terminated without her ever setting foot on U.S. soil.

Now I have met a new girl and applied for a fiancé visa. The application was submitted on first few days of March 2007. I received a letter yesterday that states:

"Since the petitioner has filed two or more K-1 petitions at any time in the past or previously had a K-1 visa petition approved within two years prior to the filing of this petition, the petitioner must apply for a waiver."

I would appreciate any help any suggestion on how to go about handling this.

Furthermore, what is the request for waiver’s form number and where can I download it from?

Thanks.

There is no form for the waiver - the information for what you need to provide is available directly on the I-129F. Simply write a letter of explanation and attach evidence if there is any. You can find a sample letter on this IMBRA thread as well as links to other sources of information:

If you are seeking a waiver of the filing limitations imposed by IMBRA, you must attach a signed and dated request for the waiver, explaining why a waiver would be appropriate in your case, together with any evidence in support of your request. Examples of such evidence include, but are not limited to: a death certificate, police reports, news articles, or medical reports from a licensed medical professional, regardingthe death of an alien approved for a prior K visa.

We have a very similar situation. My fiance previously filed for his first K1 last Jan. 2006 but it didn't work out, she never set foot in the US and it was officially cancelled November 2006. He filed for the 2nd K1 (for me last Jan. 2007. We got out NOA1 in the same month but got a notice last march 15 that our file was being transferred to a local office. We haven't heard anything since then. We have no clue whats going on.

Kindly update your current status, atleast it gives me hope that we might have a chance after all..Thank you.

What was the reasoning to not go with a K-3? Just curious, really. Trying to learn.

K3 is for married people. You can only "go for" a visa that is appropriate to your circumstances. Perhaps you are asking why they didn't choose to marry abroad.

Yes, that's what I was wondering. Marry abroad or in petitioner's country, either way.
