Unshakable Faith

I am sorry that there was a misunderstanding..I had briefly told the story in another thread asking about denials and waivers located here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/547687-questions-k1-section-212-a-6-i-ex-husband-previous-family-visa/
When I started this thread I was originally seeking out what my options were to go another route, but the thread turned more towards the misrepresentation and waiver, which is just fine, i am getting more help then I expected under this thread.

This advice is best given when a non complicated petitioner is asking if he should use an attorney to file a simple petition, this is not the case.
You are wrong to advice DIY to the OP. You do not understand this case, the OP barely does and needs an attorney. Period.
It's not all about a waiver, the matter is far too complex to sort through to even establish the eligibility for a waiver.
We get it yes, some people can file successful waivers without an attorney and that is irrelevant here. In THIS CASE an attorney is needed.

Guessing what might be the basis for USCIS's determination of misrepresentation is a useless exercise that will drive you nuts and waste time as you pursue solutions for something that many not be relevant.
Find out exactly why USCIS determined she has misrepresented herself. Once you know the problem, then you can pursue some solutions.

Use the above, no notary required at all.
And remember this, your case is now being looked at, so once they receive and file what they need you'll get your approval!
Yay!

I say put his parents address. I did that but I live in North Carolina now.

Get one and provide them with a legible copy?

It pays to read the posts before responding to them. The trip is being paid for by relatives. He is not spending money on a trip instead of paying for the AOS.
And for the record, this issue hasn't got one thing to do with future citizenship.

You have a Death Certificate?
Perhaps they should have should of asked first?

Only when she has the EAD/AP combo card or the temp green card in her hands can your wife reenter the US. Even just filing for it will not allow reentry. Sorry, but you will need to postpone any international travel plans until her immigration status has been taken cared of. Good luck.

This is a very real problem. Your K-1 was single entry. You cannot use it to 'get back in'. If you leave, you can only be admitted back into the U.S. with a valid travel document such as the Advanced Parole document or your green card.
Good luck

Well Misrep is slightly higher up the list but getting a waiver approved is not that hard. As long as it is properly prepared.
A waiver is more than a letter, it is a package, plenty of info out there if you want to DIY.
I do agree that your cousin is cluless, I would recommend that you at least have a consultation.
The main issue here is not addressing whatever caused the ban in the first place.

A light at the end of the horrible TSC tunnel perhaps?
I've started tracking all TSC 129F petitions electronically and updating them in real-time to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of TSC processing times: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/548621-finally-real-time-data-on-tsc-129f-receipt-numbers-src/.
Please let me know if you want to get the updates.

If you just want to get married in the USA but not actually live there, then you don't need a K1. You can marry on a tourist visa in the USA. K1 is for those who want to stay and immigrate after marriage.

That's a terrible idea as he doesn't plan on going back in 2 weeks, as soon as they ask how long does he plan on staying and he says about 80 days or so that will be a huge red flag as they will say how come your return ticket is in 2 weeks? He just need to be honest all the way and preferably keep his cool and not be too nervous about it.

Ah sorry to hear that dude. As far as I can tell we missed the cut off to go to CSC by a few days. 27th March was when the auto rerouting started.
I guess they have to have a cut off, but it baffles me why they wouldn't transfer some backlog cases to CSC rather than just diverting all the new ones. That doesn't help one bit with the Texas backlog. People still waiting since Sept!
I've rang them numerous times and even got a tier 2 officer, but no luck. Normally wouldn't just sit here and take it but it seems the USCIS is accountable to nobody as they are funded by our application fees. The disparity between centres processing times is laughable tbh. But hey ho. Just got to bed in and wait it out I guess. Let's keep talking to each other and be supportive.

Our petition was received 23rd March and we still got TSC!
Glad to see a separate thread for us. Don't think I can take much more of CSC people already being approved while we have another 6 month wait ahead.
I can't see our case on USCIS either. If you create an account it shows in there but nothing has changed since the initial note acknowledging they received the application.
Patience is not my strongest skill!

You can't request an expedite?

It was a tough battle but thank you. 7 years clean and sober.

For the correct info on the USC petitioner reporting requirements for crimes related to alcohol or controlled substances, please refer to page 3 of the I-129F instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

I think you are volunteering too much information using that certificate that might prove to be more troublesome than helpful.
Stick with the simple and straightforward letter of intent. Just sounds very weird to have 450 guests, 2 pastors and a certificate for an engagement. Sounds too much like an actual wedding.

I was intimidated at the beginning (when I didn't know anything) more than frustrated.
Upon reading...I knew the timeline and required effort involved, so we set our
expectation accordingly.
However, some frustration came at the Social Security Office and DMV office...later.
I used VJ site 95% of the time to gain necessary knowledge and get questions answered,
and I googled about 5% of the time. I find VJ site to be quite comprehensive.

I'm in the same boat as you. We also had a joint sponsor lined up, we sent our supporting documents and financial documents to her, she said she added her's and sent the whole packet to NVC. Two weeks later, we found out she never sent anything to NVC and she got scared and said she can't be our sponsor so I definitely know the heartache you're going through. ?
It seems so unfair that spouses of USC must show all these financial means when someone winning the green card lottery doesn't... But unfortunately, that's the way it is and unless you find another joint sponsor or collect enough salary/assets, you won't be able immigrate. You do know that you can supplement your husband's salary with assets though, right? Meaning if your husband has an annual salary of e.g. $18,000, then you can add $2,000 in assets to meet the poverty lines.

A k1 is a non immigrant visa WITH immigrant intent.
Although it is intended for those that want to move to America to be with their loved ones, you can leave within the 90 days of arrival, or afterwards after marriage.
Bare in mind because it has immigrant intent, obtaining future tourist visas may be questioned as you had previous applied for the k1 and left.
So this could be questioned and strong ties to the home country will definitely be needed.
Also he would not be able to "visit when he wants to" with a k1.
A k1 is a one time entry visa, it expires the moment the beneficiary enters. And then it gives you 90 days to get married.
If you don't get married within those 90 days he will have to leave once they are up.
If you do get married and stay after the 90 days without having applied for AOS, he will be out of status and therefore illegal.

If it is a legal wedding in Colombia, then you can't use the K-1 to enter the US, and you will have to start over with a CR-1

3 days will be enough for the filing requirement but that will not guarantee a visa. More time is highly recommended before the interview.
