A k1 dies after 4 months. It is probably already dead. so he/ she really has no wait time involved at this point. I received my notice of decision on the first on Dec 7 that it expired and I was free to refile. A lot depends on what the fiance was told at the interview and what the refusal letter states

Hurry and bring her son. She is depressed. I couldn't imagine being separate from my kid. At eight it will be easy for him to learn English by watching cartoons. If finances are an issue for not bringing the son just yet, you two sit down and make a plan of action to get him here within a year. That way she is learning English and working toward something. Don't give up just because she is sad. One trial of life and live is being able to love someone when they are unlovable. She misses stuff. Imagine being somewhere stuck indefinitely, can't speak the language, can't drive, can't work, the food isn't good, your only love is working all the time..... Just be patient, she will do better

PLease read carefully, but do not hang your hat on this. She should try and use one of the services that may be able to get her documents for a fee..... But previously, one could technically use the reciprocity for a country to get a document that would pose hardship for the applicant to procure.....22 CFR 42.65 and FS552 (foreign service form 552) You may have to request that the consular officer fill out form 552. To get it, you will have to provide proof that you tried and were unsuccessful, and that you are of good moral character (maybe affadavits from employers, pastors, social groups, etc) then if Singapore has reciprocity, the CO should be able to search those records anyway
22 CFR 42.65 Supporting documents.
(a) Authority to require documents. The consular officer is authorized to require documents considered necessary to establish the alien's eligibility to receive an immigrant visa. All such documents submitted and other evidence presented by the alien, including briefs submitted by attorneys or other representatives, shall be considered by the officer. (b) Basic documents required. An alien applying for an immigrant visa shall be required to furnish, if obtainable: A copy of a police certificate or certificates; a certified copy of any existing prison record, military record, and record of birth; and a certified copy of all other records or documents which the consular officer considers necessary. © Definitions. (1) Police certificate means a certification by the police or other appropriate authorities reporting information entered in their records relating to the alien. In the case of the country of an alien's nationality and the country of an alien's current residence (as of the time of visa application) the term “appropriate police authorities” means those of a country, area or locality in which the alien has resided for at least six months. In the case of all other countries, areas, or localities, the term “appropriate police authorities” means the authorities of any country, area, or locality in which the alien has resided for at least one year. A consular officer may require a police certificate regardless of length of residence in any country if he or she has reason to believe that a police record exists in the country, area, or locality concerned. (2) Prison record means an official document containing a report of the applicant's record of confinement and conduct in a penal or correctional institution. (3) Military record means an official document containing a complete record of the applicant's service and conduct while in military service, including any convictions of crime before military tribunals as distinguished from other criminal courts. A certificate of discharge from the military forces or an enrollment book belonging to the applicant shall not be acceptable in lieu of the official military record, unless it shows the alien's complete record while in military service. The applicant may, however, be required to present for inspection such a discharge certificate or enrollment book if deemed necessary by the consular officer to establish the applicant's eligibility to receive a visa. (4) A certified copy of an alien's record of birth means a certificate issued by the official custodian of birth records in the country of birth showing the date and place of birth and the parentage of the alien, based upon the original registration of birth. (5) Other records or documents include any records or documents establishing the applicant's relationship to a spouse or children, if any, and any records or documents pertinent to a determination of the applicant's identity, classification, or any other matter relating to the applicant's visa eligibility. (d) Unobtainable documents. (1) If the consular officer is satisfied, or the catalogue of available documents prepared by the Department indicates, that any document or record required under this section is unobtainable, the officer may permit the immigrant to submit other satisfactory evidence in lieu of such document or record. A document or other record shall be considered unobtainable if it cannot be procured without causing to the applicant or a family member actual hardship as opposed to normal delay and inconvenience. (2) If the consular officer determines that a supporting document, as described in paragraph (b) of this section, is in fact unobtainable, although the catalogue of available documents shows it is available, the officer shall affix to the visa application a signed statement describing in detail the reasons for considering the record or document unobtainable and for accepting the particular secondary evidence attached to the visa. This is from the 9 FAM
c. Interview Even if Documentation is Missing:
(1) In addition to the inconvenience and expense caused to the alien (particularly an alien applying with family members), it is generally inefficient for the post if an application is not taken and the interview not conducted on the appointment date. In a busy post, the number of daily interviews is set to maximize the use of space and personnel. A canceled interview results in a gap in that day’s productivity without gain, since the interview must be rescheduled for another day. In addition, there is no guarantee that the alien will be found eligible the second time around. Rescheduling causes administrative backlogs, which, in turn, result in lost time answering correspondence and responding to telephone inquiries.
(2) As a general rule, therefore, consular officers should accept applications from and interview all applicants appearing on the appointed date. If an applicant fails to present all of the required documentation, the applicant should nevertheless pay the processing fee and be interviewed by the consular officer who must then refuse the application under INA 221(g). The consular officer should tell the applicant or a member of the family to mail or bring in the missing documentation, and also the issuance fee, and make clear that the visa(s) will be issued immediately if the documentation is found acceptable.

I am glad everything worked out for you.

Make your facebook private. they can only see the things that you make public.

ok, so the past week I have been riding a whirlwind. I have a meeting tomorrow with my congressman's case specialist. I have spoken with a very nice gentleman at USCIS who annotated my case file in preparation for my petition to arrive back. I have my argument at everything together to present tomorrow for some great points and I think I have a strong chance to have my case re-affirmed. I will keep you all in touch and later-on once everything is finalized, post my arguments and redacted evidences so someone else can look.
I am also preparing a hardship waiver evidences in case the second interview (beit a second K-1 petition or this K-1 peition id reaffirmed). I am confident either way. God is able.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that she didn't cause your shingles. Most likely caused by chicken pox. But there are two perspectives to every situation. 1) you know she didn't marry you for a green card cause of how she is acting. 2) imagine yourself somewhere without employment watching your loved one pay for EVERYTHING.... That would kill you.... It is difficult to want to help and not be able too. The food issue is a simple fix. She isn't lazy cause she cooks all the time. Just the same think. Try slipping her a recipe card of something different but not too challenging. The only reason she is listening to other people is because in her eyes, they have been where she is. The same reason you came on here, you are seeking advice from people who have been there. Honestly I don't see any thing here that merits divorce. She just needs a job and a cookbook

First, calm down. You have a little life who can feel his mother's heartbreak.
Second, I am sure that you are trying for your marriage. Just relax and do olnot engage. If he picks an argument, don't engage. Also you don't pick any arguments either. Find yourself some non strenuous activities to stay occupied. The more time idle time that either of you have, the more opportunity to work each other's nerves. Right now a green card is not your main concern. Your baby is your main concern, followed by your health, followed by your relationship with your husband, then your green card. Work you life from that aspect. Still keep house or whatever but protect your health by not arguing and not engaging and finding yourself activities

A prenup can protect anything that you want it to: pre marital income and assets or post marital income and assets. I am definitely getting a prenup. This was something that we talked about before I even went to visit. I have stuff that I want protected at any rate: foreign husband or domestic. My prenup will not include him paying me back for expenses. To me that is the cost of love and the price that I was willing to pay. However, I will protect my house, my assets, my income, my retirement, etc. I had those things prior to. Also my income will be significantly greater than his for a while so I want me stuff protected and equitable to what I contributed. This isn't a love thing, this is a smart thing. All love starts out rosey and if you are fortunate to never need to use your prenup, then good for you. If however, things go south and that person who promised you that they didn't want anything of your suddenly wants your stuff or for you to pay them spousal support then you have protection. Do what is best for you. but paying you back, I think that should be part of the price to find love and not a loan.
Also in most cases a prenup is only good for ten years and only valid after one year and not under duress. I think.

It is unfortunate, but the way things are, a woman would be crazy not to have a prenup, especially if she was established before meeting said love of her life. If both are broke, then there is no need for a prenup. It is when you are caught without one, that you need one. People break promises all the time. Anger in divorce drives people to do things and seek things they promised you that they wouldn't do or go after. I would recommend any educated, decently well off and established woman to get a prenup. If a man loves a woman, a prenup will be nothing for him to sign. After all he is telling her he doesn't want anything of hers in the beginning. A prenup proves that fact. A man can go, in his late years, and get a decent paying job where as statistically during the divorce, women are the ones who are hardest hit financially. Also sometimes it is difficult for a person who wasn't of means to let go of the life a woman made him accustomed too. My advice of a prenup is mainly for women who are already established before meeting the loves of their lives.

Depending on the culture of the country your beau is from it could trigger an eyebrow response. Better list it as a red flag if that isn't the cultural norm of his country.

Actually a person can file for a waiver in advance of an interview if the person knows the specific, complete offence. Guidance specifically on that was published last year. It also allows a person to file the waiver and petition concurrently.
