Hi everybody,

I am seeking for people here who already applied for a second K1 after got approved a first visa K1.

i got approved at Paris last July 09 and I went to US the same month. Unfortunately, my credit card has been hacked in the US and my bank was thinking I spent this money. So I came back to France to complain to the police and stop the problem. We were not still married with my fiancée. This bad story changed all our plans about money, especially wedding, childcare for our baby, I stopped to wark in France in may09. I got the revalidation of my visa K1 but it was short to get married and we lost too much money since may09, then and we decided I stay in France for some months, just the time to make enough money. Grrrrr, what horrible story :crying:

Ok, now, we have to re apply and we would like to know the same experiences from people here. We wonder if USCIS may not approved again our case.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Have a nice day

I would try to make an appointment or get in touch via email, phone, with the US consulate who issued the visa in the first place. Maybe they have a possibility to reissue the visa without going through the whole process again. Take the police report, etc. to proof what you are stating.

Wishing you luck.

You need to get things in order and follow a plan. I do not understand why you would have had to go to France to file a police report..but anyway, neither here nor there. While I cannot claim any similar circumstances to yours, K-1s have been re-petitioned for by many people successfully. Your fiancee will have to include a waiver request with the petition. You can try the consulate but sounds like you exhausted that route.

You really need to make a plan, understand the process, follow that plan and do not deviate. Revalidating the visa and THEN not using it (which by your time description the visa may still be valid) is a really bad idea. You will not be able to petition a new visa if you currently have a valid visa. You seem to keep shooting yourself in both feet. Put the gun down. Stop shooting.

Slow down, decide, study and follow the plan.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Thank you for your answer. The consulate already told to my fiancée we must reapply because my visa K1 revalidated is expired. We decided I don't use our second approved visa because we realised we lost too much money and it wasted our wedding plan in knowing we have a baby and it costs a lot of money. So, my fiancée moved to her parents to save money while I make money again in France. It's especially a problem of money because we thought get my visa in may09 then I stopped my job in may but unfortunately I got approved in july and my credi card has been hacked in july. When I went to complain at police station in the Us, they told they could do nothing for me because my bank is French and also because we could not know where my credit card has been frauded. In the meam time my bank sent an mail in asking me to complain at the French police if not they consider I am the person who spend money that somone stolen me. Like my fiancée and I were not married yet, I came back to France to complain at the police in the city of my mother.

A crazy story, grrrr

Thank you for your answer. My revalidated visa is expired since 15 oct. 09. Consulate told us we must re apply. My fiancée and I just want ot know if any couple here already got a second visa K1 approved and what circumstances in.

Yes I have the documents of police.

Thank you

Just to let you know, I have filed k-1 for the same beneficiary two times. Our first time was in 2007 and she arrived in 2008. Because of unforseen circumstances, she had to return to her home country before our wedding date. Those circumstances were taken care of some months later and by early 2009 we were ready to "try again". We filed in early May 09. I filed everything exactly like I did the first time except I wrote a letter explaining the reasoning behind the first visa and why we could not marry at that time. Our approval was pretty much in the same time frame as 2007. The only difference is because I filed before, I was placed into a data base of multiple filers. This seemed to be the cause that a few times we were placed into A.P. Once was at the NVC level and the second was at the Embassy level at our interview. Luckily our AP lasted a very short time in each case (2 days at NVC and 4 days for the Embassy). I hope sharing our story might help you in some way.
