K1 Visa denied to my Filipina Fiancee

[MRC0269 3]

Re schedule, be there on the premises and request to be part of the interview, then tell them what exactly happened and convince them nothing

like that will ever happen again and bring a doctor's letter that you have been sober for 6 years.

You really should be there or you may have to re file if not approved.

If you can not attend then at least write a letter explaining everything (and doctor's letter) and scan it to her so she can take it with her.

You being there could make or break the case.

Ok....thank you very much for your time and response....thank you!

You are welcome, it took us a denial and re file, a 5 year long visa journey but it made us stronger, never give up but gather all your focus and efforts

and give it all you got. No time to be weak now, fight this and bring your lady home.

Giving up is not an option....just thankful for my new friends...support and advice...I appreciate every reply...thanks to you all

I would also get a transcript of the criminal case (you will pay for that) and its context can provide you with good evidence. I am sure you were made to attend self control classes etc, after the conviction... definitely retrieve and bring copies as well. You should really try to attend with her.

Ebunoluwa, I like your style

I totally agree that it may be a great show of support to try to be there... you can explain your case, and perhaps if he/she can see your face and you two together, can tell it is genuine. I used to have this in my signature while we were going through the process (I borrowed it from someone else)...

"USCIS cannot stop true love.... it can only delay it for a little while."

We all have things we're not proud of I'm sure, but don't give up. You will find good friends here in the same waiting game to help keep your spirits up. I don't know how we would have coped without the wonderful folks you find here.

"They said you need to get on facebook and try again... "

Is that how this works?

[Rc123rc 528]

Is that how this works?

Apparently the embassy is encouraging young good looking Filipina to get on FB and find someone to date and marry. Just not this person. Ya, I was scratching my head on some of the embassy's responses.

I don't know if I'm believing this whole story.. Doesn't see entirely kosher.

I have a hard time to believe that any philipino woman is ok marrying a guy with such gray background and im saying this in general, I have been here long enough to see ready all random stories, some of them disturbing and many red flag, USCIS are aware that many times the only reason why these women only approach american man that are 20 years older than them is because they are Americans, it might not be your case but 2/3 are . they know how to play the system , where to get a US man, chances are that she ways already talking to other american men while she was talking to you

Nothing points to that in OP's post. Nothing. One DUI but sober for 6 years. Knocked phone out of hand of serial cheating wife and

regretted it. Your statistics of 2/3 are from where exactly ? Got links ?

Chances are that your analysis of someone you don't even know is very wrong.

My k1 visa was denied as well . my husband and I have 9 years age difference . And the lady who did my K1 interview was not friendly and did not look at any of the documents i took with me for interview. She even told me , if he loves you then may be he will come and marry you and then you can file for spousal visa. this is after waiting for 2 years apart with finances being very tight to travel to see each other. we did daily skype calls morning and evening . i love what someone wrote. USCIS cannot stop true love , but only can delay it. My husband flew immediately after (jeopardizing his job) to marry me and start the I130 process. this time we were prepared. our families were full on active support to get us to be together . My family arranged the wedding inviting over 300 guests , his family supported him by sponsoring his trip tickets. etc. my uncle agreed to be the AOS joint sponsor. we recorded each and everything in document. this time we did not hire any attorney , during K1 visa we did and he was totally useless. this time i researched VISA JOURNEY. and learnt that front loading the petition will very much help .that exactly what i did. i sent everything i could find. our years of skype chat logs, fb messages, emails and lots of wedding photos with family being with us , gift receipts etc and paypal western union money transfers (the importance of which i learnt from visa journey and it is helping me even now as evidence to lift conditons on my green card). with all that , finally after waiting for 12 months , my interview was scheduled. some of my best friends adviced me to speaks facts and not let get emotions get in the way. just speak truth and facts and dont take them scrutinizing personally . speak truthfully and clearly. i did. i had two interviews and i sucessfully explained everything about our bond and connection and life. finally i was approved . My husabnd was even ready to leave US to be with me in my country . but i know it is difficult because i have a beautiful little step daughter , his daughter whom i wanted to be with and i would not bear to feel like he has to make a choice here. i explained this as well in my interview. after i came here and got my conditional green card, i did lot of research on lifting conditions ,i751 evidence. and we prepared for that from the moment i came here. this friday i will be mailing a BIG package full of solid evidence of joint finances and co-mingling etc etc to USCIS. i totally expect them to approve my 10 year GC. i just now hugged my husband as he was going out to work , and told him that i am reading visajourney and it reminds me of our difficult journey to be together and i never take for a moment with him for granted. its very true , that USCIS cannot stop true love. If you cannot resolve K1 , Go and get married to her and front load the I130 petition and speak your truth in the interview. You will be together. uscis can only delay you . they are pretty sensible ,if they see enough documents and your truth explained to them , they will issue visa. goodluck! never give up . this whole immigration process makes us document our life , LOL!.

Salamat Ebunoluwa for this post. RodDetroit grossly generalized a common misconception and managed to insult many people. My wife is Filipina (obviously) and there is a 29 year difference. She, and ALL of the many friends we know from the Philippines are honest, loving and beautiful women. The post you responded to was off-topic and an invalid opinion. As the moderators have said on many occasions, keep your replies on-point and helpful or don't post at all. OP--good luck in getting this resolved and moving on with your life.
