fiance k1 visa

[favor367 0]

My fiance lives in london, but while in london, he overstayed his visit and his visa expired. Now I have gone to visit him twice already. According to the uscis req' we must have met within 2 yrs in person, in which we did while his visa was expired. Now starting the whole process, can i provide passport pages of me visiting him in london or does he have to return to his homeland country and revisit him and start the whole process from there. my fear is if i should state i visited him in london, they might want to ask his passport when he goes for interview and the passport will shows he overstayed and when h return back to his homeland country. I am confused, i dont know what to do.

Also, i visited him back in 2004 in his homecountry, does that counts as within 2 yrs of meeting each other?

Also, i bought a airlin ticket to visit his parnts in his homeland conutry, i hav the ticket and all that but i actually was unable to travel due to work reasons. can i still snd my ticket stub to the immigration or would they want to see my stamp passport that i actually went, not just having the ticket flight stub?

Whether he was in London legally or not you must have met face-to-face within two years. Can you prove you were both in London at the same time? This is the proof that will be required for the petition.

The meeting in 2004 will not count as that was 9 years ago, clearly not within the two year time frame. An unused ticket will not count as you did not meet him.

You must prove by such evidence as passport stamps, boarding passes, receipts, or other hard proof that the two of you have met within two years of filing the petition.

The 2 years means "met face to face 2 years before the date you submit the petition". So sometime from now back to October 2011 if you filed this month. Anything before that does not count.

As mentioned above, you need to show your passport stamps for your visit plus evidence that shows he was there with you at the time. That will be sent with the petition. He won't be sending his real passport anywhere until it comes to the visa application (when he will take it in person to the interview - it's unclear to me what will happen when they see his status is not legal in the UK anymore. They may be required to report him, but I don't know).

Where is he really from and what happened with his overstay? Why does he not leave?

Any visit between Nov 2011 and now counts as long as you can prove that you were both in the same place at the same time. Pictures so NOT prove this. You will need passport/visa evidence that you were on the same place. Your visit in 2004 doesn't count to the meeting in the last 2 years requirement but it is proof of more face time. DO NOT submit itineraries for trips not taken as that is a type of "fake" evidence and will cause them to doubt every little thing you submit. You can mention that you planned this trip but DID NOT go as part of your timeline.

A trip you didn't take does not count, and telling them you went when you didn't is material misrepresentation and if caught will result in a denial. Never EVER lie to immigration. A trip made 9 years ago isn't within the 2 years either. Only visits between November 2011 count towards the 2 year requirement. What is his home country?

First, he must go back to his home country.

I was about to say we had the same problem, but then I realized you said

"I visited him back in 2004 in his homecountry, does that counts as within 2 yrs of meeting each other?" lol.

We had an expired visa issue in the country he was in, but we saw each other within 2 years in that country. That was our red flag but we ended up not having any issues. He didn't stay in that country though he went back to Nigeria way before the interview.

Since you guys don't qualify for the K1 visa at all. Just have him go back to Nigeria. You go visit him and you guys can start from there.
