    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    It's nice to hear that some Nov. filers are starting to get NOA2. This month the wait has really started to seem long. I find myself getting impatient about little things and i know its only cos the wait for the NOA2 is starting to feel forever long. I think the holidays made dec and Jan go by quick. But, Feb. seems to really be dragging. I'm ready for winter to be over along with the wait for the NOA2. It looks like most the oct and nov approvals so far have been from VSC and since we are at CSC i'm sure i need to be prepared to keep waiting patiently. Does anyone else feel like Feb. has been the hardest month yet?

    How soon can I file K1 after a divorce and previous viza refusal

    There is no need to be arrogant. I was physically separated with my ex-wife by the time I started my relationship with my current fiancée. Both my ex-wife and my fiancée knew for each other. I explained everthing to my fiancee - of course she was a litte disturbed but she knows everything.

    People, as I said earlier – please, do not judge other people when you do not what the circumstances were.

    so true! People should not judge not knowing the circumstances. I will tell you that you are not the only one who started a relationship with your fiance before your divorce was final. I met my fiancee while i was still married. I was in an abusive relationship that was not so easy to get out of - especially since my ex is an attorney. My fiancee gave me the strength and courage to get out from under the abuse and live a healthier life. You need to be able to prove that your relationship is legitimate and you are free to marry at the time you apply for the petition. If you are then no need to wait! Good luck! I wish you a speedy and smooth visa journey!

    K1 visa and spent time together in person

    My fiancee is also from Romania and was also denied a tourist visa - twice. It is my understanding that this is not uncommon and a tourist visa from Romania is difficult to get. I was concerned as well about the impact that would have on our K1 visa, but was told by an immigration attorney that it should not be a factor. I have been to Romania a couple of times since our initial meeting - it did get difficult for me to always go there so we met in Mexico where neither of us needed a visa, and it saved me some travel time ( only a couple hour flight for me instead of 18 hours) and we were able to spend more time together. His visit satisfies the requirement of having met in person one time, but it will help if you can meet again as you will need proof of an on-going relationship. Visa Journey has been very helpful! As others have suggested read the feedback on the Romanian embassy.

    Tourist Visa Before (And After, Sort Of) K1

    I've already posted there, and this is technically about a tourist visa, but I need to hear from people who have experience within the context of the K1 process. We have decided that it is absolutely not worth trying to hide the previous K1 petition. She's just going to go in and lay it all out on the table.

    There have to be some people on this site who've done this. Just to sum up, we canceled a K1 petition last year because she was unprepared to take that step after such a short time. Now she wants to visit New York to see how she feels here. She will absolutely go back to Uzbekistan, whatever she decides. She has a lot of beloved family and needs to deliberate. She's an open person and would not be able to pull off a lie anyway, and I think any interviewer with half a brain will see that.

    Still, has anyone done this? Have you gone in for the tourist visa and said, "Yes, I'm thinking of emigrating, but not yet. I have a love interest in the U.S. and we even started a K1 petition before, but really, I'm not going to overstay. I want to check it out first, but I will be back to say goodbye to my family and begin the K1 process and wait my turn." What are the chances of getting a tourist visa this way? Someone in the other thread mentioned that it may work in her favor that she didn't want to rush things last time. Thanks!

    If her country has a high refusal rate for tourist visa what will be most important is that she show strong ties to her home country and intent to return on a specific date. My fiance is from Romania which also has a high refusal rate and he was denied a visitor visa twice-they told him it was because he was not a property owner so couldn't show strong enough ties to his home country.The first time he said he was going to visit a friend and showed them a specific itinerary of what he planned to do while here. Second time he said he was going to see me. This was before we applied for K1 - it would have been nice if he could have spent some time here but since that wasn't possible we met up in another country for a week where neither of us would need a visa. There is thread posted on here about yes you can visit while applying for K1 -i know it isn't exactly what you are asking but the posts have good information on what they had to show to enter the US - also,keep in mind, most of those post came from people visiting from a country that participates in the visa waiver program - i didn't see any from someone in a country that is not in the VWP.

    Proof Of Having Met In Person

    thank you! I basically had the same question as I am finally getting ready to send in my K1 Visa application for my fiance who is also in Romania. We started thinking about applying for a K1 back in June when he was denied a visitors visa. I have visited him in Romania twice and we met in Mexico for a week just recently. I have hundreds of pages of messages and I was only going to include a few since i have pictures and boarding passes from all 3 visits. I also have a paid receipt from a ticket I purchased for an upcoming trip to see him in bucharest in december, so i was hoping that copies of all the skype and fb messages would not be necessary. I hope to send my packet in on Friday :) Good luck - Keep me posted - will you be going thru the embassy in Bucharest?

    Proof Of Having Met In Person

    Hi, I'm putting together my K1 Visa application and I'm pondering whether I should print all of the facebooks messages me and my fiancee exchanged? It's in another language so would it have to be a notarized translation of the facebook messages? There are about close to 1000 messages and I would literally be sending in a novel. Also how many pictures would suffice as proof of having met? I have fifty pictures that I could send from various parts of the foreign country where we met. Thanks in advance for any help! :)
