Think of it this way... if you were to have a religious ceremony, would you be free to have a religious ceremony with anyone else? I assume the answer is no. The K-1 requires you are "free to marry" therefore, since you would not be free to marry, you would not be eligible for the K1 visa. Simply put, don't do it.

We just walked out USCIS Office, explained to her what i told everyone here, we gave her a letter withdrawing form i 485, then gave us a letter explaining the refund process, also gave her the new form i-824, reviewed it and sealed it, gave us a letter that they have the form and said just wait for letter in the mail for interview date. It does not work like that... File will now need to be transferred to NVC (+/- 1 year) then beneficiary/petitioner will need to complete personal and financial info, which will get them documentary qualified (DQ) (several weeks to months) then NVC will send to Manila for scheduling an interview (no idea what the wait time is for Manila).

You cannot file a 601 until you have been found inadmissible at the interview. If the lawyer knew about the drug conviction he should never have let your husband leave the country, or at least should not have had you spend the money for the 601A. I always assume the worst about lawyers... if he knew about the drug conviction and allowed you to file a 601A, he was counting on getting fees for 2 waiver submissions from the get go.

Marriage Fraud Question
davidvs replied to brandzig's topic in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits
I can think of one benefit... Hold off on the divorce until he asks for it and then get as much money out of him as you can in agreement for the divorce. Since he will need the divorce in order to AOS through the girlfriend, it will be in his interest to pay up... -
You are correct. The I130 will sit at USCIS waiting for AOS until you file I824 telling them to send the file to NVC. We had a similar situation. Our wait time took approximately 18 months. Hopefully processing times are coming down and yours will be shorter.

Gay couple Form I-129F -> K-1 visa
davidvs replied to Daydreamer23's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
You could go to Thailand, meet and get your I129 filed long before your tourist visa is processed and, most likely, denied. "Those immigration people" have EVERY reason to distust you.- 27 replies
