I am a bit curious on how this will be treated via K1. South Africa is a high fraud country already, adding someone in prison in the mix has to make it harder.

While I know that there is the person here from Sweden where everything went smooth, that was their experience with a spousal visa and Sweden is a low fraud country.

I personally think that the OP should be prepared for some of the hardest talks she's ever had in her life, both by those answering questions and the future CO that will be scrutinizing her relationship. I also hope that her fiance is being honest in the process and with her because if she only gets told half the story and then repeats what SHE thinks is true to the CO, that could get them denied right there.

If there are CO's in Canada, a low fraud country, that try to dissuade a Canadian from moving to America because of her fiances crime/court records (This was sometime last month), I really think that a South African CO is going to be a lot harsher.

The Swede in this thread who is married to a guy in prison hasn't had her interview yet so time will tell how smooth it went for them.

with all due respect i did not come on here for judgment, only advise, there is nothing scary about this at all and since you do not know our history i would request you keep your opinion to yourself.

Yeah, except your tax dollars aren't bringing somebody here for that prisoner so your outrage is moot. It's her choice do not our business despite agreeing or disagreeing with it. Outrage over free e

I remember way back someone linking to a prison forum that had a section for this sort of situation.

Surprisingly common.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
