As others have said, USCIS only cares that you had met within the past 2 years. The Consulate however, is a different story. Believe it or not, your biggest red flag is your language barrier and not your age. A CO could argue that texting alone, albeit with a translator, is not an effective means of personal communication, and would possibly request stronger evidence of a bonafide relationship.

You are being set up for a VAWA filing. Get an attorney to defend you, make sure you have no contact of any kind with the spouse. That means no texting, no social media, no contact at all. Continue with your plan to withdraw the affidavit of support and report any fraud you can substantiate. Divorce and move on, if they file for VAWA you will have no way to know or obtain any information about it.

You can save all your money in savings by doing it yourself. I have done this process successfully without any issues, as have many others on here. Keep in mind that you will still be doing the brunt of the work even if you do use a visa service or attorney, because you need to provide all the information.
I would recommend taking a look at the K-1 guide here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide
And also check out the Philippines forum here, where you can find a lot of helpful information specific to the Philippines: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/
If you need help with filling out the forms or any part of the process, don't hesitate to ask.
An annulment is an annulment, no matter if it is just recent or decades old. As long as the annulment is finalized by the day you mail the petition, you will be fine.

You need to formally withdraw the I-864. This is the only thing you can do.
I would suggest making an infopass appointment at your local USCIS office, and explain to them that you are withdrawing your I-864. Write a formal withdrawal letter, and hand it to them. In addition, send a copy of this withdrawal letter to the National Benefits Center where your husband's AOS case is likely to be pending. It will take a few weeks for a response, but if you don't receive a response then send the letter again.

Nature of the submission: Withdrawal of Support for pending I-485 application

RE: MSCXXXXXXXXX


To Whom It May Concern:

I am requesting the official withdrawal of my original approved I-129f Petition for Alien Fiancee, as well as my Affidavit of Support form I-864. The receipt number for the pending I-485 case is MSCXXXXXXXX. The reason for this withdrawal is divorce.

The applicant's name (for the I-485 case): (NAME)
Date of Birth: (DOB)

Original Petitioner's name (for the I-129f) (NAME)
Date of Birth: (DOB)

Included are copies of:
Approval notice of I-129f petition
Receipt notice for I-485 application
ASC appointment notice for biometrics


I respectfully request a confirmation that my support has been withdrawn.

Thank you.

Please note that withdrawing the I-129F was also advised by an immigration officer at my local USCIS office, which I withdrew in addition to the I-864.

They sent me a letter about a month later confirming the withdrawal of both my I-129F AND the I-864. The last part of the letter from USCIS said:

USCIS has accepted your withdrawal. The Petition has been withdrawn, and there is no option to appeal. This does not preclude the filing of a new petition, should you choose to file one.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Since you have the interview notice, it sounds like the AOS file is at the local office. Make an info pass appointment, take your withdrawal letter and have them put it in his AOS file. You can withdraw your I-864 at ANYTIME before the AOS is approved. I would strongly recommend getting an infopass appointment before the scheduled interview date.

You cannot withdraw the AOS. The only thing the original petitioner of the I-129F can withdraw is the I-864. They can also withdraw their I-129F, since it is their application. They cannot, however, withdraw any portion of the AOS application except for their I-864.

You need to formally withdraw the I-864. This is the only thing you can do.

To answer some questions, I do support her daughters 100 percent. Apparently people do not understand how the immigration process works. After serving my wife the papers and her not wanting to sign them and again with her telling me it all about hers kids. I decided to hold off and let the immigration process take it course.
The three girls are great, plus we do have our own daughter. My little one is upset at mom because for the past 2 years we have yet to spend more than a few hours a week at the house we moved to at her urging. Knowing that mom would leave her daughters alone I thought it would be better not to leave them and so they continued to stay with me and me providing them. Why should they pay foir what there mother does. I love them dearly so I decided why not let this run its course.
See if I did actually go through with the divorce then she could file on her own, because the divorce did not go through due to unsigned paperwork on her part I decided hey sooner or later the decision will come and then reality of the fact will hit her.
So by playing by the rules she can not challenge the decision or file with out my signature.The ruling is final now and she has no recourse because she failed to realize that she needed to be divorced and now that option is gone with this final ruling.
It is very said for the girls and our daughter, it is said when the little one ask why didn't mommy stay at our house when we moved I wished we did not move.
There will always be people to say I went around it the wrong way but I do feel her her daughters and our daughter, unfortunately if the divorce went through and she was granted a 10 year green card I would be on the hook for her and still am but she is the one with the deportation order not me.
Why not be patient and let her daughters see her mom in a true light than to cow tie and hand her a possible victory, why not let them ask her why I they were treated the way they have been for the last 2 years and let them see how much I loved them and how I have been there for them all along.
I did not ask to move she wanted to move and never once spent a night in the new house or at night with her daughters. Love is very strange do i hate her no I do not, but unfortunately she wanted to listen to her so called friends and decided they were right and I was wrong.
Over the past year since this ordeal started i was lucky to only see her 1 to 2 hours a week and that was mainly when I brought our daughter to see her at her place of work. Also, for me I did not have to deal with her and I let her tighten the rope herself.
For my daughter's sake I do not fight and I chill because that is what my little one tells me to do every visit. She will say daddy, remember mommy will try to get you uposet you just need to chill. no argue daddy. So, I do not argue and now it is time to move on knowing that the it was not me, I just let this run its natural course and by being patient I made sure there was no room for appeal.
In regards to VMA that is off the books. The three older girls signed letters stating that their mom only is at the house when they are there and very rarely when I am there. Secondly, it is on record that I never fought\, hit or did anything to her or the girls. I will say there mom brought them up to be truthful and honest and they them selves could never understand why their mom does what she does. So for you vma people sorry. It simple does not apply and because the final deportation order has been issued it can not be used. Look it up.

You can only remove that restriction once you have your green card.

Congrats! Excellent write-up of your AOS interview process!

You were told wrong. Nothing submitted to USCIS needs notarized.

You are mistaken.
No US state requires you to have an SSN before you can obtain a marriage licence and get married. Under federal law, if you have an SSN you must give it at the time you apply for the licence, but not having one will not preclude you from obtaining the marriage licence in the first place. You simply inform the clerk/official that you do not possess an SSN and that is that.

You cannot file the work permit abroad, you must file it after you enter the US on the K-1 visa.
If you file for the EAD (Employment Authorization Document) based on your entry on the K-1 visa, then:
The EAD will cost $380 The EAD will expire when your I-94 expires, and is not renewable If you wait to file for EAD with your AOS, then:
The EAD fee is waived The EAD is valid for one year, and is renewable Filing for the EAD before AOS is a waste of time and money. Save your money by waiting to file for AOS.

There is no time limit for filing AOS. You can still file the AOS even after your 90 days is up.

Nothing has changed. A K-1 is a 'legal alien allowed to work'. Scroll down to K-1. This info is current. > https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0110211530
If you are speaking of a K-1 being allowed to work without authorization, then I never stated that. They are not, and never actually were. They need the SSN and EAD in order to legally work. However, a K-1 entrant has the status of a legal alien allowed to work, which is why they can obtain an SSN right after entry.

You have a bigger problem than a visa my friend, your gf "crazy story". K1 visa no problem, AOS? you will be ######.

You only need to describe how you met in person within the last 2 years. Nothing more, nothing less. You do not need to declare how you proposed, or how you became engaged. Just a simple statement such as : I met my fiancé [name] at [place] on [date].
My wife and I simply agreed to marry each other when I filed the I-129F petition. There was no formal proposal before filing.
