If Ever...

[Commish10 427]

As any of you know my recent engagement fell apart and I have contacted the US embassy in Manila to revoke the petition. This was filed May 2018

I has another failed engagement with a petition date of September 2016, and

a K3 that resulted in a 15 year marriage and divorce.

 

IF EVER.. I should petition another for a Fiancee visa:

1) Is it allowed, Is there a maximum

2)- What would be the chances of approval

Thanks

1. 2 times but a Multiple Filer Waiver can be (quite easily) obtained.  I believe you just need to include a letter explaining your situation and ask for waiver. 

 

2. It all depends on the new relationship and physical time together always a key.  Of course, expected some questions regarding your past history.

I have not read anything that states a limitation on the number of filings, just that you must request a waiver under certain conditions.

 

1. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e) and you previously filed Form I-129Fs on behalf of two or more fiancé(e) beneficiaries; or

 

2. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e), you have previously had a Form I-129F approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of your previously approved petition.

Agreed. Potentially a waiver for multiple filer but never heard of a limitation technically.

There was a guy recently, No 3 had proven to be a no show and he had had No 4 on the back burner seemingly just in case.

I'm not there yet, I'm not sure I will ever be again, but the information is good to know.

Essentially there's a limit of 1 in the last two years, and 2 lifetime.  Once you've reached those limits any future K1 will require a waiver.  The waiver used to be very undefined.  For my 3rd petition I wrote a letter detailing a little of each of the previous petitions and why I was filing for a 3rd and asking for a waiver of the limit in my case.  Last year I filed for a 4th K1.  The form now has a check box that says essentially "I need a waiver".  It looks very simple.  However, in addition to checking that box, I wrote a similar letter requesting a waiver.  It doesn't state it's required, but I provided it.  I've never had a K1 petition RFE'd so I'd suggest adding a letter, but it's not totally clear what the requirement is.  YMMV

 

I never had one "waiting in the wings" and never had a "backup" and most times thought I was petitioning for "the one" as they were certainly my only one at the time.

 

Best of luck.

As long as you can get a waiver 

[Boiler 43,437]

Well its a long way and not everybody can afford the level of trips and the time.

Yes, and there was a guy about six months ago who was contemplating number fi e. It seemed he had some issues going on but he did get four approved. Personally this is my second K1. I don't judge what anyone does for happiness as long as they don't hurt anyone else. Take a little time to get your thoughts and feelings together. Good luck!

Getting a waiver for K1 #3 is pretty simple.

 

Or you could always do a spousal!  My Wife #2 came in on a spousal and her adjustment has so far been really good.
