If you were to marry him, I honestly think you will be in the same situation because the thing is you already applied for K-1 visa times and have been denied one time so if you get married and have you fiancée do I-130 process it could most likely end up the same.... But if you are in doubt and maybe need an immigration attorney to prepare a stronger packet and brief explain your situation, I could recommend a knowledgeable immigration attorney. You can look her up if you would like she has great client reviews. Her name is Kathryn N. Karam 832-582-0620 she's in Houston, TX but works with out of state clients and out of the Country.

@kat041707:

Thank you for your input I really appreciate that. We did hire an immigration lawyer when we filed K-1 visa last time. The USCIS sent my fiancée a notice last November 22,2013. They didn't denied the K-1 visa. The letter explained that the approved petition was forwarded abroad to a USC with a validity period of 4 months. Subsequently, the petition has been returned to USCIS with a finding that I wasn't issued the requested K-1 visa. The period of validity has now expired, therefore in accordance with all USCIS action on this petition was concluded. They advised to re-file a new form I-129F in order to continue processing the K-1 visa.

@Zedayn:

My fiancée was able to speak with USCIS ofcr last November 2013 from Laguna Niguel ofc to follow up the petition and they were actually surprised and questioning why the CO is taking too much time to issue me a visa after they officially approved it which is only valid for 4 months. It took a while due to administrative processing. Then finally after we emailed the embassy for follow up. We got an answer after almost a month. They said they refused to issue me a visa because the documents and information available to them did not provide convincing evidence regarding my relationship with my fiancée.

On October 18, 2013, they sent me a letter, along with my valid passport and other documents, informing of our determination on the case.

They did returned the I-129F petition to the approving U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office through our National Visa Center (NVC) for appropriate disposition

Deepau...Thank you for your responses. You have an interesting case.

I applaud your fiancée for supporting you at your second FPU interview, and I'm surprised that your visa was refused. Apparently, the Embassy's suspicion about the connection between your aunt and your fiancée outweighed your fiancee's presence at your FPU interview.

I'm not sure if a second I-129F petition would result in a fiancée visa. I don't know if it's possible to overcome a fraud marker in your file. Maybe a spousal visa would be a better path. You and your fiancée might want to consult a good immigration attorney.

@Tahoma: I know.. What made them suspicious about was my Aunt being connected with her, that's why during interview the Filipino ofcr threw me a lot of sarcastic questions . And I did find out the assigned consul who interviewd me wasn't favor with family recommend team up couple coz they might thought there's a fraud going on. When my fiancée went with me during second interview we did discussed those questions we got separately and we got our answes matched each other esp family info. And yet, they still got my passport and docs with them and didn't give us any result. They didn't have any good evidence that our relationship is fraud because all documents strongly good and completely meet the requirements needed for K1 visa.

Jay-Kay : Why do you think the CO did not believe your relationship was real? What evidence did you supply? Were there questions asked that you could not answer or the answers did not match the information provided with the I-129F filing and forms? You need to know WHY you were denied and what the issues were the CO saw or you may find yourself denied again for the same reason.

@Jay-Kay : During the interview I think the CO suspected our relationship not real or been planned. I had mentioned them my auntie is happened to be my fiancée co-worker in California. And with that info, they keep interrogating me about my relationship with her and with their questions found out they weren't convinced even I showed them evidence or proof of our relationship.

@Tahoma.

i was interviewed last July 2013. after the interview by CO, i was told to wait for my name to be call. after a few minutes, i was given a FPU form to be filled up and told me to return after lunch. after i filled up, ive submitted to the FPU window and asked me to wait for my name to be call again. few minutes later, i was interviewed by a Filipino officer. asking me bunch of questions about me and my fiancee. after that he told me to wait for their call. weeks after, i've received a call that they're scheduling me for another interview. my fiancee decided to go to Philippines and be with me for the second interview. Unexpectedly, my fiancee was also been interviewed by a Filipino officer. we've showed the proof of our relationship, phone calls, pictures, wedding invitations/receptions, etc. and after the interview, they've advised us to wait for their call regarding the result. out of frustrations we've sent an email to make a follow-up on our case. they've replied that they refused to give me a visa because docs and information to them did not provide convincing evidence regarding my relationship with my fiancee. they've returned my petition to the approving USCIS office through their NVC for appropriate disposition.

@islandgirl80

the USC. she's older than me. we have 10yrs gap.

@Gwapo1ako

after i got interviewed by the CO. she told to sit for a while and wait for my name to be call. and by the time i've got called, the person in that window gave me something to fill-up. that's the FPU form.

10 years gap

@ HollGoLightly: thanks for your recommendation

I know ..really sucks :-)

We did refile the petition again and as I've said we sent more documents to prove our relationship genuine. My worries are the one who's giving me a hard time on the interview..not the consul but the officer who gives report to US consul. My documents are good and complete as well..so I don't know why they weren't able to issue me a visa last time :-(

@Zedayn: thank you

FPU- fraud protection unit

They didn't give me a visa for the reason they weren't satisfied we have bonafide relationship. And my fiancée received a letter from Laguna Niguel USCIS office to notify her the approval visa from the main office had expired and advise her to reapply the K1 visa for me. So she did reapply the petition again and submit same documents and some additional docs and more photos last February 7 ,2014. And after 5 days she already received a priority date of receipt of K1 visa.

Hi! I'm new here at the forum and i've found out about this forum when i'm searching for some answers in my questions.

my fiancee is in the USA and i'm here at the Philippines. we're in a relationship for more than three years now. we love each other so much regardless of our age gap.

we've filed a K1 fiancè visa application last November 2012. i've got interviewed July 2013. unfortunately it didn't went good because i've been sent to FPU for some questions. i don't know what is the reason why or maybe because of our age gap. i don't know. anyway, we've waited for days, weeks, and months for the feedback from the Embassy but they're not responding. our wedding was orginally dated on August 2013 but due to administrative process, we decided to postponed our special day. out of frustrations of waiting, we emailed the Embassy and they replied that her petition was denied and they're giving back my passports and docs.

last February 2014, we've filed K1 fiancè visa application for the second time.

my questions are:

is there any difference from the 1st to 2nd filing??

is it much faster than before??

is it advisable to file under fiance visa again or is it much better if we get married and file under spouse visa??

any comments, suggestions, and recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank y'all and Godbless!
