K-1 big problem

[djlovedj 0]

This is about a K-1 fiancee visa

I had a friend apply for a k1 visa for me. She was just very good friend. But now I find someone I wish to marry. Can they also apply for k1 visa? And if they do, will it cause any problems in getting visa?

so can we apply K-1 with diffrent diffrent persons?

pls help us

Uhm.

OK. It sounds a lot like you were trying to commit visa fraud before, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of point discussing that.

So...

Can you explain a bit more about the first K1? Your good friend - she submitted a petition for you (I-129f)? What status is that in? Did it get approved? Did you already receive the K1 visa?

You're going to have a problem explaining the first petition, since you were likely planning a marriage of convenience. It may look like you are visa fishing, despite your new relationship. Red flags, abound. Do you have good relationship evidence for your new partner? Lots of photos together? Visits? Chat/call logs? Things that show this relationship is genuine.

What is the time frame between the first and second? Does you second fiancé know the situation with the first one? How far in the first application did you get? Your 1st petitioner will have to cancel the original one. On a personal note, I think your proposed cheating the system is a reason so many have problems... There are real couples waiti g to be together, now that you have a real fiancée, you might have a better understanding of that.

Yes, you can re-apply. See Lost-at-sea's Post to your thread

Yes, you can apply. Expect questions about the previous petition.

A simple answer is "yes", any US Citizen can petition for K1 visa infinite number of times,

but just realize that a right to submit petition is completely different from getting the visa approved.

But by playing with (illegal) fire the first time, you are now spewing very visible smoke

and someone will notice it, and I think both you and the original petitioner likely have

seriously lowered your chances at getting future K1 visas approved.

Just realize that its people like you that try to cheat their way into US

is what is causing so much scrutiny and delay in processing time to legitimate couples.

I have my doubts, but hopefully you are cleaning up and this new petition is real.

Can I ask is this a same sex relationship? And was the first one same sex? You use terms likes friends and partner. haven't heard Fiance/Fiancee' used once.

Just wondering. Can you apply? Of course. Its fairly soon and expect alot of scrutiny at your interview.

One post hidden for being inflammatory. Please avoid casting aspersions on people until adequate facts become clear.

My Lover who is in India, started this forum. He is concerned that his english is to bad to write here. We are a gay couple. I am in USA, and I was concerned when he mentioned that a straight friend of his had applied for a k1 visa a few years ago. He says he was unaware that the visa she applied for was a fiance/marriage visa until he went to interview. He went to interview with no paperwork. The visa was denied. This is it in a nutshell. He was only trying to visit USA. I know these kinds of actions, no matter what, do harm to those who are legit. I to was concerned about "visa fishing" when I first met him. And if not for my elderly parents, he would wish I come live with him in India. He is better off than I am. I told him I was very concerned about this and would like some opinions. And I do appreciate ALL replies as all are constructive. Thx

As others have said. Yes, you can of course file. You will most likely be asked about the previous petition and K-1 application and be scrutinized more because of it. Make sure you are prepared to answer questions about the previous filing and denial. Also have plenty of relationship evidence to prove yours is bona fide.

yes, this is what I have tried to explain to him. Applying and getting approved are two different matters. and that it will be him that has to answer all the questions about the first k1. This is a new and unexpected venture for me. But I am glad he found this forum, as it will be nice to have someone to ask questions to. In general we just need guidance in this matter. Thanks for any support...and criticism, because it all helps in understanding the process.

Please forgive my cynicism but really? He got all the way to the interview stage with his previous application without noticing anything about fiance or intent to marry?

If I were you I'd be concerned about how this would look to a complete stranger whos job it is to seperate legitimate cases from fraudulent ones.

To a stranger it would probably appear that he knew all along that his previous application was a fraud but at the time same sex marriage visas weren't an option. Did you know him at the time of this previous application? I think the consular officer would be thinking if the previous application was to be with you all along and now is that possible to do the honest way.

As unjust as those previous rules may have been to discriminate against same sex couple, they were the rules at the time and should have been adhered to, even if not actually respected.

I wish you all the luck but I think you have a struggle ahead of you.

One of the requirements for the I-129F to be approved, way before the interview, is that both the petitioner and the beneficiary submit signed letters of intent to marry - that really should have tipped him off.

Please, please, proceed with caution. If you want to know more about the financial and legal ramifications of such relationships going sour, browse through the "Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits" forum.

We are currently in relationship for 5 months. I have not known him previously. And I agree it does seem suspicious. We have just started discussing the permanence of our relationship and the options....................................................................it seems I may have not told complete truth. I will post again when I understand better.
