Does he have a chance?

[Sayha or bust. 71]

I have a friend who wants to do a K1 to a Philippine woman after his first trip and the only trip he wants to make. Here's another red flag is he did a K1 on a Ukraine lady who he brought over in early 2012, never married her and she went back to Ukraine within 30 days. I see a lot problems if he files, give me your opinions on what to do.

He has a great chance, The Ukraine lady in 2012 does not have anything to do with this one, I would just think that they will ask questions, like how do you know this one will work, etc.

Aslo I am not forsure if they still have this limit but before they had a limiti of two K-1 visas, after that you did have to get a waiver, while this does not not apply here, it is something he should look into incase this one does not work out.

Also He only wants to make one trip, not a problem as long as he has good documentation of a relationship.

I don't see any issues. My wife and I only met in person once. Many have filed for previous beneficiaries and then refiled later to another.

The waiver is still required if the previous K1 petition was approved within two years of filing the current petition.

Thank you for correcting me, that information is found on the instructions for the I-129
