Filed for a Previous Fiancee Visa Question

[ctaveras 0]

Hello,

I filed for a fiancee visa back in 2001 with another person and when she came to the US, we decided not to get marry (I did not report back anything because she went back to her country).

Now, I would like to file another fiancee visa with my new fiancee. The form ask if you had previously filed, you need to disclose the information.

My problem is that I did not save any records of my previous filing and I don't know the date of filing. Should I leave the date of filing blank? Would this complicate my current fling?

I am tempted not to disclose it to avoid possible problems but at the same time if they find out I previously filed for another person I don't want my application to be denied.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

CT

You have to disclose it.

Do not lie on any forms.

Honesty is the best policy. Disclose. You will make things worse by not disclosing, because they have access to records and may actually find out. It was a long time ago, so I'm sure you should be okay.

You have to disclose it, they already know.

You honestly think that they would not be able to find out if you had filed a petition?

good luck

"If" they find out? I 100% guarantee you, they will know, and your new case will be under extra scrutiny as a result of it being the second time.

If you don't disclose it yourself, you'll most likely be denied. I've applied for a K1 in the past, and my fiance' came to the USA, then decided to go home after 60 days. I knew better than to not disclose it. Good thing I did, because they had it all on record and it's the first thing they looked at. I should also warn you, they wanted a full explanation as to what went wrong with the first case.

Possible problems with the current fiancee or with USCIS? You need to tell the truth to both.

The government knows. Might as well tell the truth to the extent that you remember (month, year, etc.) and be prepared to explain why did that petition fell through.

I have seen serial K1 filers here try once and again without issues. You should have no problems trying to file a K1 after so long. Just be honest!

Thanks to everyone for your answers. I will disclose it and put down the year when it was filed (that's the only thing I remember)
