    GandK got a reaction from N-o-l-a in Harsh Question   
    Why don't we bump up the minimum income requirement to 1000% and while we are at it, the beneficiary needs to be able to demonstrate a college degree and speak at least 5 languages as well.
    /sigh

    People that told you to run are just being silly. They barely know you or your husband, they read 15 lines description of your situation and they already conclude the right action for you, I think not.
    Life as a couple involves two people, what holds it together is trust and communication. So I suggest you re-establish that communication.

    GandK got a reaction from bmiles62 in K1 Holder with 12 hour LAYOVER INSIDE U.S BEFORE REACHING POE   
    As someone above said, her POE will be LA. Her K-1 visa packet will be processed and admitted there.
    And someone correct me if I am wrong, once you are through the customs and immigration control, you are already in the USA. She can leave the airport if she wishes, when she gets back in the airport to fly from LA to Miami, it is a domestic flight, no immigration control. So no, she doesn't need a transit visa but she will need the flight ticket from LA-Miami to get into the domestic departure hall.

    GandK got a reaction from Austramerican in Didn't submit a letter of intent   
    It's kinda funny, I have only read about negative experience from people who use an attorney for K-1.
    You still have to fill out the forms and gather the evidences yourself anyway, so why pay 5000$ for a glorified secretary to mail the packet for you.
    You should get your money back tbh.
    Oh and don't worry too much, even if you get RFE, it will probably set you back 2-3 weeks only

    A 24 years-old is not a little girl, it's a grown up woman and the USA is not Disney land where anyone can just bring their kids, friends, cousins, in-laws as they please.
    If she feels bad about leaving her daughter behind, then you can always move back to Philippines.

    GandK got a reaction from didopage in My i129F was denied due to a filing issue   
    Sorry that happened but you learned an important lesson that you must follow the instructions which will benefit you immensely in the long run.
    The 129-F petition is just the first baby step, you will need to deal with USCIS and immigration for many years to come.
    You will not get an RFE, the decision has already been made, case closed. You may appeal, but it's a waste of money and time. Better just to file a new 129-F.
    You don't need professional help, you have come to the right place here at VJ. Read the guides and ask questions in the forum if you are in doubts.

    Sorry for your situation but Mountain Climber is absolutely right.
    Your son is 21 years old, he is legally an adult and not a minor, therefore he does not qualify for immigration benefit from your L-1 work visa.
    The U.S. government doesn't split up your family. It's not their choice, .They are not doing this specific to you, it's their immigration laws. You don't have to follow their laws and move to the US if you don't like it.
    Life is full of tough choices. it is a hard choice but it is still yours to make.
    In Denmark, the age limit is 18 years old. I moved and grew up here in the last 10 years. My mom couldn't petition for my sister because she was over 18 at that time. So our family had to split too, it happens all the time.
    You have an important decision to make. I hope you figure this out one way or another.

    I was looking for expedite criteria for USCIS the other day and you can request an expedite based on "USCIS error" meaning if they messed up.
    But now that the case is beyond USCIS control, it's the NVC that messed up sending it to the wrong consulate.
    I don't know if you can request an expedition with the NVC or consulate but if you ask me, you should be entitled to, you may want to look into that.

    GandK got a reaction from Ivie & Eguagie in Tourist visa denied!   
    Assuming that they were denied on the basic of not being able to demonstrate enough ties to home country, then they will have no effect on your K-1 application.
    Basically, the consulate is afraid that your fiancé is going to the US on tourist visa and will never come back and told her to wait for the right visa to be issued ( K-1)
    Of course, there are also other reasons that make a person inadmissible to the USA such as drugs, criminal records and such. If she was not denied because of this then she you got nothing to worry about.

    Since when did Facebook become bible of the truth? I fail to see how screenshot of Facebook that show xxx is in relationship with yyy can be considered any credible evidence.... I can make that in two minutes
    Affidavits from family and friends are also weak evidence, since any of them will write whatever you tell them to.
    Since they practically live "next door" on the border, you should try to find evidences which shows that they live in a very short distance from one another. Official address registration for both of them, letters from Authorities that clearly states the their name and registered address, utilities bills that show their name and address. Then write a statement to explain their situation.
    Credit card statement shows transactions or money withdrawn receipt on the other side of the border will also help.
    Because you don't have many primary evidences, all these evidences mentioned above will not stand on their own but together they will help the adjudicator understand the scope of their relationship.
