Need help! Fiance or Marriage Visa ?

[Rahstyles 10]

Okay so finally i got my us passport.

Now im trying desperatly to file a finance visa or marriage visa for my fiance in the philipines.

Problem im having is.. Do you think i should hire a lawyer or one of those websites to do the paperwork for me?

Also my major concern is.. my filipino fiance had worked in denmark a few months back and she overstayed for a week. Because it was the holidays and she couldnt get her visa renewed in time. So the denmark athoritys interviewed her and made a decision to deport her.

Now my concern is.. the usa embassy find out about this during her process for the fiance or marriage visa.. also should she put down that she has been deported? It was another country not even close to the usa it was stupid denmark... so do you think the usa embassy can check on this? Im afraid please help!

The US government won;t care about her overstay/ being deported from Denmark. There is also no-where on the paperwork where it asks whether you were deported from another country, though you will need to be truthful with where she resided, and possibly get a police cert from Denmark.

If that is the only "red flag" you guys have, then you should be able to file yourself with the help of the Guides here. If you are super busy or not used to filing out detailed paperwork, then a visa prep company can be a good investment to make sure you don't get RFEs, but a lawyer tends to be extra expense and delay things.

she has no friends or family or knows anybody in denmark anymore.. she is going to get a new passport... so the departed stamp will not show up on the passport... Can she just put that she lived in philipines for the whole time? they cant find out right?

Per the TOS, VJ members can only advise you to answer everything truthfully/honestly.

Why start your journey with a lie? It's not worth the heartache in the end. I personally would not want to jeopardize my fiancee/spouse visa to the US, and can only recommend filling out all the immigration forms honestly.

Rahstyles, I had similar problem with Ukraine/russia/ussr when I was a teenager. You should consult a lawyer to see if this is doable; but technically you do have the right idea.

Okay you tell me what is she supposed to do.. when they ask for proof of redency and she has no phone numbers to denmark or any connection to denmark anymore?? Then they ask her to file papers and she has 90 days??? What i gotta buy her a plane ticket to denmark so she can go visit the apartment she stayed at? Not even mentioning a ban from denmark since she cant go there anymore... You thin it will be better off saying.. yea i got deported from denmark and i dont have any papars or contact to anyone in denmark nothing... And the us embassy will accept that???

I highly doubt that... I think they will ask for some kind of documentation which she will not be able to provide.

Hire an immigration attorney if your case is complicated, because this is only a DIY site. Again I cannot tell you to lie on the forms, and it's ultimately up to you/fiancée to decide what you want to do. You may not like what I write, but I am just following the TOS.

If she worked in Denmark, does she not have documentation for the work?

[Penguin_ie 5,994]

She wi;l not need proof of residency (bills etc), all she needs to do is write down the address where she lived. As I said before, it's really no big deal, but lying to US immigration about where she lives IS and can lead to a lifetime ban. Even getting the police cert from Denmark is easy, just see here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=8978

there gonna ask questions on why she got deported..

wouldnt it seem weird taht she got deported from denmark and they might think she will try to stay in the usa and do the same thing?

man.. im worried..

[Rahstyles 10]

also i make like $47000 a year.. but my credit score is 580 i have bad credit lol... but also does my fiance needed to have work? cause she has been unemployed for close to a year now.

Also she has a kid and i have a kid...but she is not bringing her kid till later .. and my exwife has my kid.

[Reyan 56]

Immigration does not care about your credit score. Based on what you wrote about your salary, you meet over the 125% poverty level so no issues there.

Personally I think you are over analyzing/complicating the process. The ultimate goal of getting a fiancée/spouse visa is so they will be an immigrant in the US, so why worry about overstay. It's not like she is only coming over as a tourist right?

Depending on the age of her child it's also not a complicated process to bring him/her over once you are married.

Another question .. im not leagally devorced till dec of this year.. but i filed for paper work in july i just had to wait six months.. Now me and my ex are seperated but im not legally devorced and free to marry till dec of this year... Does that matter that i went see her ... before my devorce was final? also .. on my pay stub..it still shows im married and claim 2 on my taxes me and my son.. should i have that changed asap like in dec when im leagally devorced or does that matter? Also my fiance is kid is 9yrs old.

oh and.. do you know any trustworthy people that i can pay or any website i can hire to make shure this paperwork and everything is done correctly? im looking for an agency or lawyer that has a high sucess rate.

thanks.

OH and should I get married there and file for an mairragee visa or fiance visa/?

I heard that fiance is faster.. but faster isnt always better.. I want the option.. that gets a higher sucess rate of approval

She is required to disclose the truth during the process. Isn't that nice when people actually do what is expected of them - like tell the truth?

First, how is overstaying in another country relevant to coming to the US to marry you or be your wife? Stop being paranoid.

Second, even if the Denmark overstay matters - then telling the truth gives her a chance. If she lies and omits information, then she is looking at a lifetime ban.

So, for us US citizens who appreciate it when prospective immigrants tell the truth on their immigration forms, we welcome you to the process.

of course you would be paranoid.. im shure the officers at the embassy will think.. since she overstayed in denmark.. what are the chances.. say we dont get married and she overstays in the US.. wouldnt that be a big risk to them?????

She can only AOS from the original petitioner on the K1 visa. You cannot just marry another US citizen and AOS. If this were to happen, that person would need to leave the US and then the US citizen spouse would need to file the CR1 petition.
