Look, I'm going to lay this out for you:

1. You do not have a good chance of getting a visa from Casa anyways. They are being very very hard and denying a lot of petitions.

2. If you continue with the K1 while married, you will be DENIED and probably BANNED FOR LIFE!

Serious. STOP.

Also, get your wife on here, and we'll explain it to her if you don't understand.

If you don't want to get a visa, do what you are already doing.

Why the USCIS still approved the K-1 and sent it the embassy while they are married?

Because they lied on the forms. They need to cease all activity on the fraudulently filed petition immediately before she gets a lifetime ban from ever entering the USA.

The US Citizen petitioner is still liable for criminal penalties for filing the petition.

From the I-129F above the petitioner's signature.

PENALTIES: You may by law be imprisoned for not more than five years, or fined $250,000, or both, for entering into a marriage

contract for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws, and you may be fined up to $10,000 or imprisoned up to five

years, or both, for knowingly and willfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or using any false document in submitting this petition.

YOUR CERTIFICATION: I am legally able to and intend to marry my alien fiancé(e) within 90 days of his or her arrival in the United

States. I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, that the foregoing is true and correct.

Furthermore, I authorize the release of any information from my records that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services needs to

determine eligibility for the benefit that I am seeking.

Moreover, I understand that this petition, including any criminal conviction information that I am required to provide with this petition, as

well as any related criminal background information pertaining to me that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may discover

independently in adjudicating this petition will be disclosed to the beneficiary of this petition.

I'm confused.. you said she passed the interview but then said something about being denied and a 10year ban.. why did she lie, why not tell the truth from the start.. you should listen for a change and should have done the cr1 instead of k1, point blank period.. that is fraud

[janice.kamel 0]

his husband file k1 because his friends told him that is fast process and 100 per cent get the visa because its better than cr1 and his husband file it without say that he is already married she can't beleive that they dennied the visa and ban it for the 10 years plz guys if there is other solution

and sorry again for my bad language

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

NO OTHER SOLUTION....10 YEAR BAN....

10 YEARS is a lot easier than life-time Ban.

We tried to give you advice before her interview. Lying to immigration can lead to a lifetime ban. There is no way around it for her now. She lied even when they gave her an opportunity to fess up, from what you are saying. There is nothing she can do now. She will not get a waiver. A lawyer won't help. Lying accomplishes nothing. She now has to wait. She's really lucky they didn't ban her for life. Tell her to count her blessings and enjoy Morocco.

thank you sister for the advice yes she is lucky because they did't ban her for life you right

i hope to get your approval soon good luck

[janice.kamel 0]

** Topic Closed Pending Review **

After review I am re-opening this thread even though the discussion is probably at an end. While there are similarities with other cases and members there are no identified duplicate accounts posting in this thread.

For those who believe that they can 'get away' with filing a wrong visa and then lying about it to immigration in hopes that this will shorten their immigration wait, reality shows that the exact opposite happens. Instead of getting processed 'faster', those who try to short-cut the system and fail to correct the problems while they still have that opportunity because they don't want to 'lose the time' re-applying with the correct visa would take, actually find themselves having a much, much, much longer wait in the end. This couple is actually lucky - they only have a 10 year ban. It could have been for life. Not only is advocating immigration fraud a violation of TOS as well as a violation of immigration regulations - it is also obviously NOT in anyone's best interest, especially those hoping to live together as a married couple in the US.

I highly doubt that the ban is only ten years. What inadmissibility code was given for the visa denial. The only ten year bars in the INA are for unlawful presence and deportation.

Anyway, you can file the I 130 and then a 601 waiver of inadmissibility to get rid of the ban. However consular officers take lying to their face as the worst type of fraud and since the waiver is discretionary it will be ver difficult if not impossible.

Her husband lied on a petition in her behalf and then she signed a visa application or two that indicated she was not married. She lied. Consequences apply to such a lie. The husband is also subject to fine and imprisonment for fraud and perjury. See my earlier post.
