Glenn, im sorry this happened to you and Rosemarie. I hope she will contact you soon and talk to you instead of running out. I dont know the whole story but based on what your posts you did what you can to help her. I really hope that she will look back to the times that you two are so much in love with each other, the hardships you had when u were still miles apart and worked on things just to be together and i hope this will help her make up her mind to see you and patch things up for the good of your marriage. Surrender everything to God and believe that He has a better plan for you two. Things happened for a reason. Just hang in there and God bless!

Hello to all, i know this question is already asked but i just can't find the right thread and am a lil lazy looking for it ... anyway, my question is: Is it ok if I only have a computer printed copy of my husband's Form 1040(ITR)? Actually it is his copy of his ITR when he filed the tax online. Just want to make sure i have the right documents. Hoping for your response... Thanks a lot!

For my interview on Friday, I will be using a computer print-out (TurboTax) of my fiance's Form 1040 and a PDF copy of his W2. His 1040 has a Declaration Control Number and date of acceptance by TurboTax. I will let you know if embassy will accept that.

Is it ok to submit photocopies of my fiancee's ITRs? He doesn't have the transcripts... and he's not comfortable in sending the original ITR forms he filed for the last 3 years...

Mae

What I'm thinking it doesn't matter what is the form of ( photocopy, transcript...) your ITR. what the CO is concerned with is your income level. They may already have our income levels from the government databases. I submited copies of my W-2's, pay check stubs, letter from employer and IRS Tax Transcripts. those who are self employed or using assets should have documentation to back up their income.

Thank you for the replies!!! It makes me feel better that what i have is ok based on what you pals said here.

PatientlyWaiting: Thank you really and please do let me know. And ohh kindly add me in the list too:

Maria had a prior petition for K1 and we put "yes" the Prescreener and the CO had the old petiton on file when we were interviewed. They both even asked about the previous petition and the circumstances of why she cancelled the K1. We even listed the previous Tourist Visa denials, all of which are stamped in the back of her passport. Bottomline, if someone other than your current petitioner or in this case the same petitioner has filed a different type VISA or been denied and you are refiling, you need to put "yes". Ken & Maria

BTW we got married today... we did not forget to say "I DO" lol.

There seems to be some disagreement on this then. Luz had a prior K-1 (no visa issued) and my lawyer and the DOS said to mark yes under the question of a prior immigrant visa application. (which we did) Maybe imaskin should call the embassy and ask just to be sure.

Thanks for this info.... i'll just answer "yes" and i guess it won't cause harm... Again thank you!

Better call the embassy so it will be clearer for you to what you can do before it's too late.

In our case, my husband called the USEM and he was told to just send a fax letter of reschedule interview request . So before he visited me last week of February, he already made a letter and we handed it to the USEM when he was here in my place. He stated the reason and indicated the month we would like to be reschedule and had a follow up call after 2 weeks and was told to have a follow up call this coming May 15 .

I hope you can reschedule it too. Good luck!

Hi,

The answer is "NO". They are asking if anyone has previously filed a petition for you...other than the current petition.

Jazzy

i have question on DS 156 number 36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?

I am the beneficiary ...should i say Yes to that question?

thank you very much.

I asked the same question and was told that the answer to question 36 should be 'yes' because of the current petition in progress.

I am back to little confusion now

If Someone has filed that visa petition on my behalf...that's my fiance/petitioner right? so i'll put it yes then. i hope i still get more enlightenment. thank you Robor

In my situation, my husband filed K1 for me before and we are again on K3 now, so does it mean i will answer "yes"? Isn't K1 a non-immigrant visa? I'm really confused with this. I hope someone can help me.

You can request a copy of your CENOMAR again but since you are already married, they will issue you a different certification stating that in their index from year 1945 - 2007 they found your name in their database record of marriage stating the name of the name of the bride (your name) and the name of the groom (name of the man you married with). So if you got married before i think it will show their too... I requested mine lately, and it showed my marriage to my husband. Better be ready than be in AR... Good luck on your upcoming interview!

goodluck to you cora for your upcoming interview. i know the feeling of being denied. bfore, i used to be denied but it was made by my sister .however, the japanese embassy denied me for two times possibly because i was just only 16 yrs. old at that time. Then, with this FIANCEE interview my issue was "is having fear that i may not be lucky again" on the other hand i really must hav enough courage to try because this time I do believe what I have now is qualified enough for what they are need to deman. . althought, different scenario but still it is all about petition. well, my interviewed went well.

I was just wondering how come any one of the CO never asked my CENOMAR or even my FIANCE DIVORCED PAPER? what comes to my mind even if he said congratulations ad goodluck, will it take time for me to recieve my visa since they might probably request first to NSO my cenomar and verify if my fiance is legally divorced? my fiance has been divorced for 3 years from now. All I have to do is just to wait the coming week whatever might happen regarding this visa delivery thing. goodluck everybody for your upcoming encounter with the CO!!!god bless to all of you

hi jackiadam, just free your mind from wondering or worrying why the CO did not ask your CENOMAR or even your fiance divorce paper. As what other people say here, the embassy also check at NSO about the applicant civil status, and about your fiance divorce paper you also don't need to worry about it since the petition papers forwarded by the NVC to USE has all the documents that your fiance sent on the first stage of petition filing (which i'm sure your fiance sent a copy of his divorce papers. Just wait patiently for your visa it will come soon. Good luck !

It's a real burden, but keep on praying and ask help from God. 5 years being away with each other is too tough, i hope the consul that will interview you will be that too understanding enough and will not doubt the sincerity of your relationship instead will look how hard it was for both of you and your husband to be apart for 5 years because of financial difficulty. It's too expensive to hire a lawyer in case like this, so it might be wiser if your husband will be then present during your interview so he could as well help explain to the consul why it took long time for him to see u again instead of hiring someone who might not really help you. You have all the documents you needed as evidences of your genuine marriage all you just need is to really make the consul understand your situation and approve your case. Pray and pray and pray there is nothing impossible with God thru prayers. I'll pray for you too. God luck and God bless!

i feel as if im asking stupid questions. hopefully this is my last one

on the DS 157, item 7. when it asks for the full mother's maiden name, is it ok to just put the middle initial or should it be spelled out completely?

thanks

spell out completely!

We stopped our I-130 up to NVC, didn't reply to the NVC letter, like fill-up the choice of agent form and the request for the affidavit of support bill fee. Have already interview schedule with our I-129F (K3) this coming April but will reschedule it to June so husband can join me during interview. Hoping so much to be together soon permanently without this distance. Husband will arrived tomorrow night for his 4th visit. So excited here...

Looking at the form given to you... lol... i have this feeling that it might be possible that the consul who interviewed you is the same consul who interviewed me way back 2003. Who denied my K1 (with my now husband) under 212( b ). Is the consul a guy?

Looking at your timeline.... geezzz but just hang-in there you'll have your approval soon. Pray and pray and pray it will help you. God bless!

Hey Ken,

It is not a problem for me any longer as 2 days after Ana went to the CFO conference, my Ana sent me a good bye letter. The day of the CFO, she started telling me that the ladies at CFO told her that I was looking for a companion. I told her that I was looking for love. Then, she sent me the good bye 2 day later. Confused but this is her decision. The CFO job is to discourage women from leaving their country. I guess that she was too gullible and believed the sweet little nuns.

Only problem for me is that she was my second I-129F petition: Under the new law, a person can only have two approved I-129F petition in their life even if it is for a spouse.

Of course she promised to pay me back for sending her to school and paying for her past education. God will judge her.

Sincerely,

Dr. Joe May

Sorry DocMay that you're in this awful situation right now. It's too odd that just because of a CFO conference ur fiancee will say good bye to you. I already attended the CFO when i was still 22 it wasn't that dreadful as others think. In my case i was not asked for my parents consent i think its because the way i answer the counselor during interview. I don't even have any documents like divorce decree etc. from my fiancee(my now husband). CFO is not designed to discourage filipinas to pursue with their relationship with the foreign man. They just guide us with what should we do in case something wrong happen. It helps us to assess that someone should not enter into marriage if their reason to enter into marriage is only to help their family to uplift their living, if they were just brainwashed or feel obligated. The film showing showed cases of those filipinas who were been abused, but again i'm sure your girl won't agree having relationship with you if she sensed u are an abusive person (aren't you?). Try to talk to her, and know what is the real reason why all of a sudden she said good bye. If she truely loves you she should know you better and would show to the interviewer that your relationship is genuine and things works out well with both of you. She should know how to stand out for ur relationship (or isn't she matured enough to decide in her own and know what is best and not? And i hope she know how hard it is for your part going thru the process. I hope she talks to you and tell u the truth (just cant really think how someone could be easily discourage with the CFO seminar if she is truely madly deeply inlove with the guy).

Regarding to your concern of having 2 approved I-129F, you can file for a waiver and state what happened, i'm sure you can still find someone better than your fiancee IF ever you two wont patch up again. Good luck in your journey. God bless!

Yes Sam you need to file separate I-130 for your two stepchildren and you need to pay them separately. The supporting documents that you only need is their BC and your MC one each for each of your I-130 application for both of ur two young stepchild. I hope this helps u.

yeah your husband is too lucky to be upgraded to IR-1. I read someone from the other website (WOF) that there process took 16 months and by the time she got her visa she was upgraded from CR-1 to IR-1. Congratulations anyway!

Hello.. Thanks for the response... umm just want to clarify something, So you mean our I-130 will be held at NVC for a year (or how long to be exact?)? Then during this times we will not do anything about it until the time we start the AOS process? I mean we need not to pay anything yet or request for any forms while still on K3 process?............ geeezzz sorry for this question but i do sure want some clarification just to make sure i understand everything.

That's a good point/question. I was focusing on the the Philippine side. I wonder how that is viewed on the US side? I know the US recognizes foreign marriages. Since they do that do they also recognize the Philippines considers their marriage in 2005 void? I thought it was all clear but now it's even more confusing now.

Of course US will recognize the invalidity of marriage just like how they recognize the validity of foreign marriages.

About the polygamy thing, yeah he might be questioned for this and he is lucky if the authorities wont give him the right sanction of what he did. Problem will occur here if the consul will not totally be convinced of your honesty, since you already did a fraudulent act before. Anyways, Good luck and God bless!

Hi...For the second time around we make everything right..my Husband went to the Embassy to get legal capacity and we waited for 10days then we got married for second time they registered again our Marriage certificate and the the 2nd certificate is certified by the NSO...

I still don't understand how you got married a 2nd time in the Philippines if you already had a previous marriage on record there. Didn't your husband have to get an Affidavit of Capacity to Marry the first time around? If so, wouldn't that show up when he applied for the 2nd one? Why wouldn't they ask for proof that marriage was terminated? Same with the NSO recording your original marriage and the 2nd one. There's no question that your marriage in 2005 was invalid because he wasn't free to marry but I don't understand how you could marry again without explaining the situation with the first.

Well i guess this is what the situation is.. when they got 1st married on year 2005 her husband was not yet divorced (obviously for this ground the marriage is technically void) and then they had their 2nd marriage 2006 where they already did the right process, with the right documents. NSO sure will not certify their first marriage hence it is void because of the existing marriage her husband has at year 2005. So the NSO did certified/authenticated their second marriage for the reason that it was done according to the law and no faulty was made during this time.

Shamar30, hence you used your 2nd marriage contract you have nothing else to worry about because it is valid and your 1st marriage (2005) was void technically. It will be best that during interview you husband will be with you and be honest to the consul. Being honest wont harm you, at least do your best that consul will understand positively the case.

Good luck and do a lot of prayers because it will help you.

Where can i find the I-134 and I-1864 forms??? I searched already the USCIS website for that forms but it's not showing the forms that we need. And oh, i also checked the I-134 form here at VJ but i feared that by the time of my interview the form will expire. So help me please where i can find the latest version of forms for I-134 and I-1864.

THanks a lot!

Hi to all,

Just want to know what will happen to the (noa-2) approved I-130 for my daughter now that we just planned to go on K3/K4 route?

Please we need an answer.... Thank!

Hi,

Since your I-130 is approved you may find it advantageous to go with the cr-1/cr-2. Your wife and daughter would enter as immigrants with all the benifits that brings. Otherwise yodrak is correct you will need your daughters I-130 for adjustment of status.

Hello jazz,

Happy NEW YEAR and thank you for the advise... i guess we will just go on with the K3 route since our MLNXXXX case is already at Manila embassy.

you make me laugh with your response. right the application does not ask for the fathers name, and like you said unless the babys father was married to her mother.

did u laugh like this??? well, i guess u might be right... i forgot yeah it doesn't ask either biological mother and father is married or not, i was just thinking since the kid's biological parents wer not married, why bother mentioning him anyway? BUT IF u do want to have an EASIER and NOT complicated papers to process better not mention the father IF the mother has the sole custody of the kid. I believe if the biological father is mentioned, you need the paternal consent. What's the point of mentioning the biological father if it will only cause mess anyway?

Thanks a lot..... geezz me and hubby are so much overwhelmed for the fast processing. I hope we the embassy will grant our request for Feb. 28 interview since they scheduled me for Feb 5 interview for the cancelled k1.

HAppy and Blessed NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No need!!! it will be even more better if you will not include the father's name since no section in the g-325 ask about the father, unless of course if her mother was married to the father.
