So what's this waiver I just read about that we have to fill out if we're going to be submitting another K1 within 2 years of our last? If you can kindly provide the link to this that would be great, thanks!

The only waiver I know about concerning a second K1 is in the situation where a petitioner applies for a K1 with someone and it doesn't work out. Then that same petitioner applies for a second (different person) within 2 years.

The only other waivers I can think of concerning K1 are

1. Extreme hardship waiver to wave the face to face meeting requirements

2. Waiver requesting to wave a ban in place placed on the beneficiary.

Maybe I have missed some....Anyone else?

Okay, and that is what I am going to do, but the other post I read made it seem that there should be a separate "waiver" REQUIRED to fill-out in addition to the regular K-1 visa packet I must send already.... so is there no specific "waiver" for someone in my position?

Thanks.

If you are filing within the time frame listed in the instructions, Yes its required. Even if the previous petition has been withdrawn / canceled or burned in a fire.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Nevermind, I got the answer. We'll get an RFE. So..... as long as we provide this letter waiver along with our K-1, will it automatically be granted and the rest of our K1 process will go smoothly? is there a chance that they REJECT a waiver only because it didn't workout with that person? On the cover sheet that we must file, what should we title it besides "K1 Waiver"...?

take the time to read the links I sent above. they include an example. Yes it is always possible they reject the waiver.

But for what reasons should they reject the waiver? Most of the time it is fine though, right? I dont see why they would reject it, and i just put "- I-129F (with waiver request attached)" on the cover letter this is fine right?

Hi, it was my first time Appling for a fiance visa K-1. Do I need to write the waiver letter too. How do I write it? If anybody can give me some suggestions, that would be a great help. Thank you much.

You don't need a waiver if this is your first K-1.

But for what reasons should they reject the waiver? Most of the time it is fine though, right? I dont see why they would reject it, and i just put "- I-129F (with waiver request attached)" on the cover letter this is fine right?

Because they said they want a waiver letter. It is just one little piece of paper. If you want to take the chance, then go for it.

Yes the title proposed would be adequate.
