Previously denied visa in hand during second petition?

[mikemikey 0]

No lie here and am not trying to beat the system. I invested a lot of money in the first petition only to find out after we got the interview that an affidavit of support is not supported for the Philippines for the fiance visa (which is not entirely true because my fiance at the time she interviewed met someone who was approved despite that petitioner lacked the income requirement. He used his parents as an affidavit of support and they were approved).

In any case, there are in fact discrepancies in our application not because of lying or cheating but because of an honest mistake which I feel we will need to correct. I really appreciate everyone's feedback as it makes me realize that rather than just applying and hoping they miss the discrepancy, that we have it corrected which will delay our process by at least 2 years. arrgghhh

Yea, this doesn't sound right.

Hopefully the OP didn't lie in his first attempt thorugh the K1. But if he did, I am sure he is now trying to figure a way to file the second petition based on that first rlie. That is a horrible situation, sooner or later they WILL find out, recently read a story here about a person that got denied USC and is being investigated now for lies about wedding dates.

I am still confused. Who told you a Affidavit of support is not supported for K1? I mean how else you going to show finaicial support. Gosh I hope this wasn't another bad advice by a lawyer that messed somebodies life up.

And you say now this misinformation mistake will delay your filing 2 years? Oh my sorry. Hoep all works out.

Your explanation makes no sense. I think you mean that in most cases, Manila doesn't accept cosponsors for K1 applications. When they do, its usually for somebody just about to or just has graduated from college with parents as cosponsors.

What kind of honest mistake resulted in "discrepancies" (plural) that to correct, would delay your process two years?

If I am not mistaken, for K1 visas the only type of affidavit that is supported is that of the petitioner which is why we were denied. I had someone who was serving as an affidavit of support but they did not accept that person. It's too bad because now that we are married, I am ready to start the process again but have to fix this stupid mistake which is going to delay the prcoess.

In any case, thanks and I hope that it all works out too

Eh, I would rather not talk about it on an open forum like this. But like I said, no mal intent, just something that I need to take care in order to move the process along. It sounds like you are very knowledgeable as that was probably the situation with that applicant who was approved.

I appreciate everyone's input, thanks all

You certainly are not required to discuss anything you don't want to discuss, but some of us are knowledgeable enough to actually know the short list of misrepresentations that would take a couple years to fix. The most likely is that the beneficiary misrepresented whether they were ever married before and you need an annulment before going forward. It doesn't have to be that, but it's a short list of things that don't get misrepresented "accidentally". Once misrepresented, the misrepresentation remains on the record, often putting the couple in a "Catch 22" they can never overcome.

I recently had a discussion with a USC now married to a foreigner who cannot file because the first of their two prior marriages was never terminated. The person THOUGHT their spouse obtained a divorce but they never did. Subsequently this person married, divorced and married the current foreigner. (By ignoring the first marriage for which they had no divorce decree.)

Unraveling THAT would require termination of the first marriage followed by remarriage to the foreigner, to whom they are already married. It's real mess that WILL probably take a couple years to work through with the able help of family law attorney and immigration attorney.

So, be careful how you approach "fixing" what you previously misrepresented.

Pushbrk is VERY knowledgeable. You would be wise to seek his knowledge. We don't know you sir from Adam. No way for us to seek you out and say Ah ha it's Jim from Monteray talking. People are here to help and assist and direct. You say 2 years when it may not be that bad. Just saying.

I know not anywhere on earth you can get this kind of help and assistance for nothing

Even though the OP isn't saying 2 years to me implies a paperwork issue. Like a divorce that isn't recognised there , a bad birth certificate or such.
