illegal family

[beatricecruzz 1]

Hello,

I was going over all the sample questions for the K-1 interview and came across one question that scared us, it was " where do your parents live?" it scared us because my fiances parents are illegal in the states, and we dont want to get them in trouble. My question is, If he tells the truth, like we plan to, will they look into it and deport his parents or can they not do that?

On the DS-230, question 16 and 18 you had to put the name and address of the beneficiary's parents, what did you put? Please don't tell me you lied and put they were still in Mexico?

Good luck

Here are your choices:

1. Put Mexico and then YOU have lied and run the risk of material misrepresentation some time down the line

2. Put US and whatever happens, happens.

They might look into it. I've never heard of it happening but I would be lying to you if I said they were fine. Also, it might be they get caught a month after you submit your paperwork, having NOTHING to do with you, just a coincidence... are you gunna feel guilty anyway? USCIS doesn't ask for a street address, they ask for a place so just be honest and write "USA".

His parents are adults. They run their own lives. Whatever happens isn't due to YOUR actions, just remember that. You didn't force them to live here illegally and there is nothing wrong with making sure your new little family (you and your fiance) is safe and protected by ensuring you always tell the truth.

Best of luck.

No on the address i put the real thing, cause he lived with his mom in the us, during the interview if he says he lived with his mom during his stay in the US will they try and find her?

NOTE: We are taking the truthful route

If he lived with his Mom in the US was his presence lawful or all before his 18th birthday?

The situation is really begging the question: Since your fiance's parents are in the US ilegally, then has your fiance lived ilegally in the US? This could also change things for you (in terms of getting a denial).

my fiance was here illegal but has not gotten any unlawful time

So your fiance is under the age of 18?

Give us a bit more info, how old is he? When did he enter?

Good luck

Hello,

I just wanted to know others experiences with bring a fiance with the K-1 from mexico, I can read the process times and all but i wont get a sense of how it is unless i ask someone with experience.

Heres mine,

My fiance is a illegal citizen caused by his mother bring him here as an infant, not by choice, i met him in high school so he was under 18 when he decided to do something about it. We filed july 22 2010 before his 18th birthday, they received it on july 23, and we got the receipt that the office received it Aug 3. Since he is already 18 he is leaving the states at the end of october. We do have a daughter together so i am hoping this goes by fast and he is safe in mexico.

My questions are how long from the time you received the receipt to the appointment date, from appointment date to receiving a O.K. to flight back did it take? What happens at the appointment?

Thank you

my fiance was here illegal but has not gotten any unlawful time

If he was here ilegally, by definition, he was unlawful. If he is now back in Mexico on his own will and doing, then he has actually self-deported and may have activated a ban from this country. This situation is complicated enough to hire an expert immigration lawyer because these issues will raise red flags that will either deny your petition at the USCIS stage, or deny you at visa interview time. Check out the regional forums to see if other people who have filed for Mexican beneficiaries have had a success story even with a situation similar to yours. Still, an expert immigration lawyer would know the law and any potential loop holes better than any member here.

Best wishes!

He is currently accruing unlawful presence as he turned 18 in July.

@Op, just because you've file a I-129f Petition that doesn't stop him from adding days of unlawful presence. Also there is no such thing as an "illegal citizen" he is currently an Illegal Alien/Immigrant...

A question that enters my mind, and I don't know the answer, were they "allowed" to file before his 18th birthday? Since they are both supposed to be eligeble to marry at the time of filing?

How is that determined?

[beatricecruzz 1]

I called uncis and my lawyer and they both state that he has till he is 18 and half till the time starts

we filed when he turned 18

[CBM 14]

I could definitely be wrong, but I thought both parties had to be 18 at the time of filing?

Oops, sorry, I see you answered that right above this post! Sorry!
