How's this for a mess??

[Jason-Sasha 1]

I'm sorry but I think this will be lengthy. I'll try to keep it as short and simple as possible. Thanks! A little over 2 years ago I married a Russian wooman who was a working student in the States. We decided it to be best for her to return to Russia after the marriage to complete her degree. Our marriage sadly failed after beginning our CR1 process. She just kinda disappeared on me. We abandoned the process while the case was at NVC. Little more than half way. That was well over a year ago. In that time I actually met, fell in love with another woman, who surprisingly is also from Russia. Maybe this only sounds surprising to me, but what are the odds? In Virginia? Anyway....my divorce is finally just now completed. That's a whole other story. My new love is Alexandra. Sasha. We have spent many months together and love each other like crazy. She returned to Russia recently and we dreaded that day because we had no certainty of her being able to return. I've never experienced being in love with someone while finalizing a divorce, but the agony of not being able to marry Sasha because my divorce wasnt final was killing us. She had to go home and we had only one choice. A K1 visa. As soon as I have the divorce certificate in my hand the first packet can go out. now, I have some questions....Will there be any problem with our case if they see that I had abandoned an old case for a different woman, my spouse? or will the divorce documents be enough to satisfy?

Also, I have great tax history for the past 3 years and doubled the poverty level of income. However, for the first 7 months of 2006 i did not work due to an injury. I was forced to live off of my savings which dwindled quickly. Now, i'm working full time again. I'm a waiter and a bartender and my bank account says I'm broke as a joke. especially after surviving 7 months of no work. For 2006 I'm not going to meet the needed earning requirements. Now the IRS. They issue your tax info in January. So that means that as of October 2006 my last 3 years are 2003, 2004, 2005. But that step of our process (Af of Sup.) will not happen until sometime after the new year. So, by then will the embassy want 2004,5,6?? because my last year is not going to look so hot. Though we both know I'm more than capable and make plenty for both of us. Paystubs are good, but the bank statement and first half of '06 Tax History look poor. Can anyone shed some serious light on this puzzling ache in my head??? Thank you all so much for reading through this. I cant believe I'm going to do this again. At least this time I know its for the right reasons with the right person. We've learned everything about each other. Have a year of history together under one roof. This cannot fail us...

Thanks....Sasha and Jason.

Alibaba, that is not fair for you to make generalizations like that. I will agree its true that many Russian women are not trustworthy, but to make that assumption on every case is narrow minded. YOUR experiences are not everyone elses.

Jason. Your income level sounds fine. I submitted the last five years of income statements for MY Sasha's inteview (aff. of support), so just include the previous year as well. USCIS should not have a problem with your previous marriage as long as the divorce is completley final, and you submit the proper request for the waiver of limitations on multiple petitions. Your story sounds legit, and in the end Im sure it will work out for you. btw, your photo looks great, you guys look like a really happy couple. Love is the greatest. Good luck my man.

Jason,

First off, ignore alibaba's rude comments.

You may face an issue on your initial petition because I believe you will need to indicate your previous CR1 filing. I think it depends on when it was. I'm not well versed in this but you'll find help in the IMBRA forum as well as here and it won't prevent you from filing for your fiance. For the aff. of support, you may want to consider getting a sponsor if your income is not above the poverty line at the time of the embassy interview.

Good luck.

alibaba,

do you have statistics to back up your statements?

[Jason-Sasha 1]

Thanks for your concern, but I can assure you that this is no "greencard" case. She could care less where we live, as long as we're together. I know this relationship has nothing to do with residency. In fact, the Russian woman I married wasnt even interested in citizenship. That love just faded. my Sasha and i shared everything for a year. most people here who are applying for a fiance visa (K1) do so with only a short visit or two to the fiancee's country. In fact, I'll bet most havent spent more than a few weeks actual time with their fiancee. Sasha and i lived together here in Williamsburg. Once again, thanks for the concern....but really, there's no doubt about her intentions. She's just as miserable without me as I am without her.

Fair warning - between alibaba's nasty remarks and huge generalizations like the above, you're gonna open up a huge can of worms - I'm not even going to get started. You're better off to stick to your issues at hand such as the waiver for filing and the income requirements . . .otherwise take it to off-topic before a full blown nasty thread results . . . just my two cents

[Jason-Sasha 1]

By the way...I'm sorry. I hope I didnt offend anyone by saying... "most people here who are applying for a fiance visa (K1) do so with only a short visit or two to the fiancee's country. In fact, I'll bet most havent spent more than a few weeks actual time with their fiancee."

It didnt occur to me until I reread it that it might offend. I didnt mean to undermind anyone who has only actually met their fiancee a few times. I for one know how quickly you can fall in love when the ingredients are perfect. I was simply trying to backup my case that she isn't that type of person. Alibaba and those like him erk me when they doubt someone who is close to my heart. I dont know about you guys but its sometimes hard hearing people say "Oooohh" when you explain your relationship. Anyway, cheers all!

Gotta find out what that form is that should be filed to say I had a previous case at one time. Off to investigate.

I didnt mean to undermind anyone who has only actually met their fiancee a few times.

LOL - what I meant was, some of us actually lived with our fiances for years . . .

[Jason-Sasha 1]

LOL, Kitkat, sorry. i didnt write that because of what you said. in fact i posted that before i saw you had even made another comment. No harm. That's pretty funny!

[Ana and Dan 0]

When does the show begin?

[kitkat1 5]

No show unless alibaba comes back!!!

Your reply to alibaba was simply too nice. If he comments anything like that on one of my posts I simply will take him out back and give him a big can of whoop @ss... Privately of course....

my god, what have I done? I seem to have turned a serious question of concern into a weird thread. Sorry all! Just want to get through this horrible process with a little assistance from those who have more knowledge. I'm not sure where to find more info on this waiver. And when it should be submitted. With the 129F? Or will calling them solve this? I just dont want to get half way through this and have someone stop the process for more evidence.

The I-129F form has a question (Part A Q 11) regarding whether you have ever filed for this or any other alien fiance or husband/wife before. This would include previous K-1's, K-3's, DCF's etc... This is when you would adress this issue.
