HI! Can someone enlighten me please. I came to US in a b1/b2 Visa in 2014, and apparently I applied for a F1 student visa. I stayed in the US for 1yr and 9 months which my school lasted for 9 months and they have an option also for an OPT (where you can work in the US legally for 1 year, it works like an internship program) however, in the middle of the process of my OPT and processing for my SSN, I decided to go back to my home country (Phils) for emergency reasons (I left Oct 2016). So my school had to cancel my Student visa, my opt application and SSN request. My question is, would I still be able to go back in the US anytime I wish or would it be difficult already for me to enter US? Would they banned me for changing my status whilst still in the US?
Highly appreciate your responses.

HI! Do I still also need to have my passport name change? Since it is still under my ex hubby's last name Or it's still ok, I'll just submit my annulment papers? Scheduling for our passport changes here in phils is terrible as you will need to wait a month or 2 just to set an appointment with them. Or will be alright to submit the old one, and follow up the submission of the new one upon the interview?

Separated or legally separated?  They are two very different things.  There is a huge difference.

As per my USC fiance, the moment the divorce has been filed, it is already considered legally separated. So he filed it even we became a couple. That's my understanding. Is that how divorce works there?

Thanks to you guys for making time to respond. Such a relief about the ticket being ignored by California. Crossing fingers on that one.

My USC fiancé was already separated (2yrs) long before they filed for a divorce. He only thought of filing since the time he met me. I hope this won't create any prob in the future

the length of time in the relationship and the short time between them may raise a red flag.

 

leaving the country and not paying traffic tickets is worse since you admit to knowing about the ticket but chose not to pay it. they may look at it as you are fine to break our laws but when it comes time to pay the fine you decline. also if it was misdemeanor or felony anything there is a warrant but I doubt an infraction would get one.

 

good luck be honest with them and be prepared to pay the ticket and late fees

 

Re traffic ticket, I definitely did not refuse to pay the ticket it's just that I was already out of America when i found out about it, a month after I left to be exact, considering they send the ticket long after it happened. But prior to leaving, I had paid all my debts and traffic tickets just so I am cleared of any violations just in case i'd go back there again. They may even check my I-94 re my immigration details

I am getting really scared now.

Were there any circumstances that this kind of situation (short time relationship as well) like us gets approved?

HI! Thanks for all your responses. To answer your questions, we met online accidentally in June 2016 and as a couple in Oct 2016. He came over and visited me in Dec 2016 and from there we really hit it off. would that be a red flag because of the short timeframe that we have known each other? we're planning to file it this march since his divorced will be released the same month. Plus i have 1 unpaid traffic ticket, i was unable to pay it becausse i was already in the phils when they sent it to my old address, only a friend told me about it and the car i drove at that time had been sold. Just want everything to clear before we finally file everything. please enlighten me

Hi there, my first time here and thought of asking about my confusion on applying k1 visa. Me and my fiance met online last quarter of last year.  He's still on the process of getting the divorce decree finality. Prior to that I have lived in the states for 2 years. I came in the states in a tourist visa and eventually had changed it to F1/student visa. I studied a very short course and was about to get my opt (a permit to work since I was in a student visa status) I opted to go back home to my home country (phils). I was able to get a driver's license and open my own bank account. I had no any criminal offense only parking and traffic tickets. My question is, would that be OK if the USCIS sees that? Would that be a red flag if they would find out about it? Plus my fiance plans to file k1 visa a week after his divorced is released, would that be a red flag too? Any replies will be highly appreciated. Thanks much
