What to expect

[Bduck40 15]

Ok hope you with experience can follow our happening with our k1 petition. Fiancé had her interview may 26th this year. She said it was short, did not ask for anything as far as paper work that she brought and took her and the two kids passports. They did not approve her that day but did want her to provide a certified copy of her allument and nbi by currier even though she had though stuff with her. She sent them in right away and it been in administrative processing ever since with 5 different updates. 

 

So today she gets a call from the embassy telling her they want a 2nd interview to discuss a domestic charge I had about 15 years ago. I did include that in my petition along with court papers where I plead guilty, but it was in self defense, as my wife was a addict and came after me. I pushed her away and she fell, since she had marks on her and I did not, I went to jail. Long story short. How will this effect our chances at a approval? I did not do any jail time, just required therapy and fine, and case was dismissed. 

 

Also so I did get arrested for trespassing years before that, dealing with a ex wife once again, but this did not fall under the things the petition required me to report. So I did not report this at time of filing. 

 

But im sure any background check will revel it. My fiancé knows all about this charges and why they happened. So it's no secret to her. 

 

We now dont don't know what to expect, what they will ask, what to say and if our potion will now get denied. 

 

Please help with advice, past experience and what to expect or is needed at her next interview next week. 

 

Thanks

You need to have a long talk with her and explain everything. She needs to know for her sake but also she needs to be able to explain it to the CO if and when discussed.  IMPORTANT - Your fiance has to be confident in her answers. Keep her answers short and to the point.  DON'T volunteer anything unless asked.  Besure you provide her with all the documents that the Embassy is asking for.  Be sure your fiance can retrieve each document to hand to the CO when asked without hesitation.  I suggest that you label the documents so she doesn't freak out trying to locate the document that the CO is asking for.  The fact that they kept the passports is keeping your interview/visa alive.  She needs to know that she needs to be honest. If she doesn't have an answer, then she should state that to the CO.

 

I don't have experience with a case like yours, but I have given you things that the CO will notice.  They are trained professionals.  They can spot a "problem" in minutes and will dig as deep as they need to ascertain their decision. I wish you guys the best of luck.

The embassy wants to make sure your fiancee is VERY aware of your domestic violence charges.   If she knows all the details and answers questions easily during the interview it may not be an issue.   Just have to "wait and see"

Thanks Hank, That was what I was thinking about it. She has been aware of that charge, all along and sent police report and court minutes with her to the first interview so she could show them that she knew about it. 

 

We well prep again and ask if she had any questions about it. I have not kept any secrets form her and talked about everything in life for last 3 years. Her doing into a relationship with ex wife, I wanted her to know what she was getting into. 

 

Thanks once again

I agree with Hank. I think they just want to make sure that she is going in fully aware. Keep us posted I would really like to know how this turns out. Good luck!

I wish I could attend, but she is going for interview on Tuesday, so not enough time to make the trip, plus the expense of going is not practical at this time. She says she can handle it. Just have to wait and see and pray all is well

And for sure keep us posted.   Thanks!!

 

Embassy is closed tomorrow, another holiday, almost forgot...  I think I will order a meal with baboy ... not much southern BBQ here ...
