I recently sent in my I-129F. I am wondering if I need my fiancee marriage certificate even though she is divorced last year. The only thing I have from her is police certificate, her divorce decree, and birth certificate, but the not the original birth certificate. Please, need some good advice...especially from someone who have thai fiancee.

Billy

Billy, that certainly is a difficult story. But it is a good lesson for the rest of us to keep in mind as we go down this journey. How long were you married before you found out this terrible news?

About 2 months or 3 months, but I didn't confront her until the last week of our separation. Our marriage lasted only 9 months and then she left, I went after her, asked her to come back to work things out. but she refused...finally, I filed for divorced Feb 2005. Now divorced in Jan 2006.

My Fiancée passed her K1 in Kiev today. She got a lot of questions, more than anyone else in line about our relationship. Most women spent 2 or 3 minutes getting interviewed, Svetlana was interviewed for about 10 minutes. (this is the actual interview part, not collecting of paperwork).

I'm sure she was grilled a lot harder because this is my second k1 in 18 months. (My first k1 failed before marriage and the woman returned to her home country)

Lana said she felt like the interviewer was trying to trick her into saying something like we weren't really engaged or she didn't really love me. They asked a lot of questions about me, my work, my family, and my ex fiancée. Svetlana stayed persistent in her love for me and desire to marry me and the interviewer approved the visa. Luckily I had prepared her for this type of questioning, and told her just to stand firm and stay committed and the visa would be approved.

Anyway, this is only like day 85 or something and we're done...

G' luck to the rest of you, may your journey be simple and quick..

Hello Brad

First of all, I would to say congratulation on your second k1, and I wish you the best for the future. I am considering for my second k1 myself. Lucky that you didn't get married to your frist K1. In my case, I got married to my first k1 and the marriage failed because of the dishonest from my ex. I met my ex, I didn't know much about her history. She had a boyfriend oversea and didn't tell me that they are still making contact to each other even she is living with me. I didn't find out until she has sent many sms back and forth over the mobile phone. She will delete all received messages, and sent message. she won't tell me who she is making contact with. Finally, I found a letter that she is hiding inside the picture album, and I confronted her. I didn't have any argument with her. just only asked. and one day, she left me. I have never abused her. support her in every way. I have never asked her to get a job or anything. I worked 12 hours a day to support her. I guess..things didn't work out for me. Now, that I am divorced. I would to give one more try for k1. But I am not sure if the second k1 is possible until I read your post. I always think about my prior petition will cause problem. Once again...wish you both happiness with years to come.

Billy

Hi Billy,

I just applied for a K-1 visa yesterday for the first time ever.

hello Arrowhead....

Best wishes to you...hope your petition will approve soon.

Billy

You made the correct choice! I would definitely purchase an airplane ticket home for her. Use this as a learning experience. I know that if a girl is not affectionate with you, she does not love you. A girl who loves you will go out of her way to give you attention and affection. Even girls who are very shy open up at some point and do not make such excuses. We've all been in similar situations before, where we were the ones pulling all of the weight in a relationship, hoping that the other person would eventually come around. But my past experience tells me otherwise. Don't ever give up. Try again and you will find the right person for you. Just make sure that the next girl is putting forth as much effort into the relationship as you are before bringing her here. Good luck!!

Hello arrowhead

I'm just curious about your post here. Have you ever filed a pettion for k1 before? Just wonder.

Billy

Yeah. Take responsibility for this one last step.

And I think it has been advised on here before that you send a letter to the State Dept. referencing her case numbers and that she has gone home.

Sorry for this.

I don't' think this would be easy like we all said. If she has relatives here, she might want to leave him and stay here with her relatives. He can NOT force her to the airport. Have to leave this for the USCIS. She has 90 days to leave the country if He is not marry to her. Also, he has to send all the documents such as NOA1 , NOA2 and letter back to where the petition was filed.

Looks like the situation is solved http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2905

probably for the best....

it struck me as odd when he said she had family over here...hmmm, just looking for an American to bring her closer to her family??

Anywhoo...seems the decision is made and the marriage is off.

I have known many people with the same situation. married to USC, got visa, came to the states, got 2 yrs green card and left for their relatives in the states. I thought this would never happen to me. But it did. Anyway, I am not blaming anyone..women or men. it's just a bad decision that most people made. I think most people oversea do not go by the rule. Especially, countries from Asia. Once again, I am not being prejudiced, I am an asian too. It's the fact. Most asian countries are very corrupted. If want something done, give them money..everything is money....it is very different from USA.

"Do I wait longer or send her now"

geez shes not an object !! wrong way of thinking like that .... my 2 cents...

... and she has a name ... cousin two

Next!

Hello there!

my thoughts to you....DON'T GET MARRY. IT IS A BIG MISTAKE. I've been there, done that. it's a terrible mistake you have ever made. I am an Asian American and I married a woman from Cambodia. We speak the same language and still don't understand each other. If she does not love you and does not show you any affection toward you, that mean thing is going to be bad. I think that SOME asian women just want a free ticket here. They lie too much. Especially if they have relatives here in the states. my thoughts to you is SEND HER BACK HOME. getting marry to someone like that is a big mistake. getting marry is cheap but divorce very expensive. If she has AOS, you will be obligate to the contract...

Hi Billy,

Sinsot is usually given at a Thai wedding. Did you have a ceremony in Thailand? If so, was it registered at the Amphur?

Ty

Hi Ty

We just had a small ceremony with people around her country home. They tied little thread around our hands and gave us blessing. I still have little thread with me. Heheheheehe. I don't know much about sinsot until I was asked by her parents. My fiancee told me it was a sinsot. you can called it ceremony. I am sure I didn't register at the amphur. I didn't know about register until now.

Bill

I had SINSORT in Thailand. SINSORT meaning the money I have to give to her parent to get marry. I hope this is enough info about us.

PS: Now that we know she has adjusted status - yes, he will.

Well, I spoke with a immigration lawyer about my ex-wife. I asked him about the responsibility for my ex. the lawyer told me that if I am divorce. The affidavit of support I-824 IS VOIDED. I don't know if this is true or not. it just the lawyer told me. But I will know the truth very soon.

Bill

john_and_marlene,

Billy neglected to tell us if his ex-wife adjusted status - one of the many details that he failed to provide.

Yodrak

Will he have a higher standard to show financial support for the next AOS if he's still obligated under the previous agreement for 40 working quarters or until the exwife gains citizenship?

That's what I figured.

I seem to remember the calculation for figuring household size included others you may have sponsored and are still responsible for.

Bill,

It's not enough. There's nothing in what you have written thus far to indicate that there might be a problem, but that doesn't preclude a problem due to something that may exist but you have not mentioned. Remember also, sometimes problems can arise where none should exist due to errors on the part of the USCIS or the consulate.

You asked a question that really cannot be answered until the fat lady has sung.

Yodrak

Hi Yodrak

thank you very much for your replies. I have to agree with you 100% about errors. But I just hope everything is going to be ok. It could be that I filled out my petition not correctly. anything could happen.

Bill

Billy,

Maybe there will be a problem, maybe there won't be. Hard to say, you do not provide all of the details about yourself and your new fiancee.

Nor should you, or can you, in an internet forum.

Then we started to talk on the phone and see each other on webcam. I spoke with her 4 or 5 months before meeting each each other face to face. we have many things in common. I had SINSORT in Thailand. SINSORT meaning the money I have to give to her parent to get marry. I hope this is enough info about us.

Best of luck

No, I have done nothing wrong. Never arrested. No domestic violence. Yes, she gained her 2 yrs conditional green card. AOS in DEC 2003. I supported her, took her to school to learn English which she did not want to learn. I worked alone to support her. I bought health insurance for her. Gave her credit card to go shopping with friends, added her name to my bank account. wanted to have driver licence which she didn't want to read the book. She does not want to work which I had to complaint about it. All I need was want her to have driver license so she can go places because sometime I didn't have time to take her places. I guess she want to stay with relatives in CA, and I can't stop her from leaving because if I did stop her..that mean I was holding her against her will. Because I don't want to get arrested about holding someone against her will. I just want to do the right thing. I guess things didn't work out between us.

Bill

It will appear into the immigration records that you had petitioned a K1 visa before. However, you are not precluded of filing another petition provided that you can show an evidence that the previous one has been terminated.

yes, my previous marriage is terminted. I have my divorce decree Jan 2006. Also, I had sent all my approval notice (NOA2) and other documents back to USCIS in April 2005 with a letter from me to notify the immigration that my ex-wife had left me, and I filed for divorced. Take almost a year to get divorce.

now I am not attaching to my ex-wife. It's over between me and my ex-wife.

Goodluck JR
