I agree. I am overthinking this. Overworrying this. Overdoing this. If I get the documents from decades ago somehow to please the USCIS, or if the USCIS would return to me the very documents they are asking me for (what a joke!) in time, i.e. in 60 days, I should be alright. I am putting time, effort, and money (attorney) into this. Thank you for support and help. I am pretty sure: when people read through difficult cases, which mine is for sure, they can learn something for themselves. I wish it could be easier for us.

Ufff, it seems to be the last post I need to answer. Thanks again, everybody. It is nice to know about form G-884, I will discuss this with the attorney. And no, I do not have any documents whatsoever pertaining to that first submission for K-1.

30 ways... Can you demonstrate? ... LOL ) You don't have to

From what I understood from my fiancé, it is different ways to say #####(cat) I would not spend enormous volumes of time to talk to folks here if it would be such. I am learning, and others are learning. Quite important lessons learnt for many. Including mechanics of file movements inside USCIS for very old files, and much more. One thing for sure: if I only knew what I have learned from talking to people here, some of my costly mistakes could have been avoided. And this very thread prevented from new mistakes and provided knowledge for future steps.

She speaks some English, not much, but learning. I am helping. I speak more Russian than she speaks English, and I am learning too. We're meeting in the middle just fine. Living together this would progress forward rather rapidly, I have no doubt. Ha! You are Russian... 🙂 And you too. I know a Russian word in that line as well: kiska
-
Good Grief! Well said! But do we deserve this? Perhaps I do: for being honest with them, there's a cost for honesty (in this case being plain stupid)
-
They need to add on the application for both parties new requirement: the listing of all social media sites they both ever posted on, and all logins they've ever used... Scratch that. All posts on social media for the last 10 years need to be a part of the application. But seriously, I understand what you mean. Nice to know what you said. I think it is not safe to comment too much on these issues, LOL ) It is not 1996... I am in a situation right now when I am not guilty for anything, but being scrutinized. Needed to hire an expensive attorney. I totally needed to "Keep it Simple Stupid" on the application, and just said "No", "Never", "Nothing"...

I would consider another fiancé some day maybe in some future, only if they stop this case dead in the water for a Russian fiancé, making it impossible to get a visa for a Russian national per se. Then I would give up and, sorry to say, look for another chance with another fiancé. Not in Russia though. But the difference some people do not understand here is that I am going to do my best for my Russian fiancé first. This would not be my choice or fault, it would be all on USCIS. I am looking to settle down eventually in this country. I need to look into the future. I am not very young anymore. I cannot travel forever. I work over 40 hour weeks to make my life better here, eventually. Started saving some money in 401K, which some of you folks do for decades maybe. I can travel some more, but not much more, I am afraid.
-
Ha - ha : ) You speak Russian, right?
-
I don't know what that case is, but very curious to find out. Maybe when I have more time. Generally I work a lot, way over 40 hours a week nowadays. Therefore these questions I was asking in the beginning of this thread: it was very hard for me to find answers quickly. And even now, the question that I have unresolved about what to do about the interview, language, translator... I know I need to find time for that (to go and start posting in the Russian forum in English), but also Russian speakers in this thread could help out...
-
Ahhh... How I wish I would've known that before I sent in my second I-129F!!! I would just believe that I needed to "Keep it Simple Stupid". Honestly, I would just not say anything that would open any can of worms (since after all, there's nothing that I am guilty of and/or criminal, sex offender, nothing to be really concerned about). Now I am suffering for being honest with them. So sad actually. Ironically they might even deny my application, and ruin my life to some extent. Vicious circle. So unfair.
-
Thank you. That would not make me feel good if it would be in Top 10
-
Sorry, it was not my intention. Honestly. I was just very confused myself in the beginning. Still am, but not nearly as much
-
No, the language barrier was meant in this context regarding the interview process only. My fiancé doesn't speak much English. And since they have interviews in Russian only available in Poland (but to get to Poland you need a European Union visa, which for Russians is hard to get) therefore the question. But even those interviews are almost impossible to get: all booked up.
-
Yes. That has been established in this case. Lesson learned. People with similar cases need to know as well
-
They already resolved it the last time, for the first I-129F. Should not be that big. Nice to know. I just heard they make it almost impossible nowadays. Which just added to my pessimistic questions I was asking in the beginning of this thread. There was nothing criminal in my background. Sorry, I've already mentioned that before. Or sexually inappropriate. I see what you mean. Thank you for the advise. I did tell the attorney everything, nothing was hidden in over an hour conversation. I think at this point he has all he needs to start digging for the documents. I would not even know where to start to do that. USCIS gave me only 60 days to "give them what they already have in my file". This needs to be done most efficiently in the respect of time.
-
Absolutely. I understand now, after so many people here told me. They will look into my file for that. But they absolutely will not look into the file that they already have, to see what they need, being already there. Bizarre No. I need to continue this journey. With an attorney. My Visa Journey. As many folks here.
-
Yes, I've had those documents back then and they were submitted to USCIS. But it is very good that now I know that I can request them back (my attorney probably has done that by now, I will need to check). I am glad to know that those documents can be requested back from USCIS. As a side note it just proves something that I've mentioned before: they cannot (actually have no desire, but can in fact) even look at my file they have on me, but rather they prefer to put me through this, totally unnecessary process, even willing to ruin my life in some respect, but will not look into my file to see what they already have. Regretfully, for most of the folks it is perfectly okay. But it is shocking to me. Even after @Rocio0010 has told me multiple times this is normal.
-
Nowadays yes. Completely agree. Everyone must keep copies of everything. This is the lesson learned. However, during my first I-129F and after, I did not even think I would need to apply for another fiancé. I did not keep the documents or copies. And I was out of the country for years at a time since then. They were not preserved. It is a pity
-
I disagree. First, about the limit: I've already answered: I was merely worried that I've used 2 out of my 3 attempts (that has been cleared: there is no such limit). Second, with me being committed to this relationship, if USCIS makes it impossible to bring a Russian fiancé here, it doesn't actually matter how much I am committed: if they make it nearly impossible the process itself to bring a Russian fiancé here, I need to go on with my life. Third, my life is in this country, and I was going to settle down for good, I am not willing to live outside of the country forever. In this thread this answer is becoming De Facto the most proper thing to do. Thank you. However, since I travel a lot and have not permanently lived in this country for years in a row, no documents were preserved. And now they are hard to find and obtain. I will work on finding the documents.

Yes, I am worried about the whole chain of the process. If one link is broken, the whole thing is stalled. From what I heard, it is hard for a Russian beneficiary to find a place to have an interview nowadays. Regretfully Russian speakers in this thread are not giving any feedback on this. And I did not find time yet to start researching anywhere else. I cannot be specific just yet. Please wait for now. That's all I can say. As I tried to explain before (and as the topic name says), and I will rephrase: I was concerned that if they make it superhard for me to successfully resolve all the links in the chain, I would have no choice but to give up and pursue another chance. But that is only if they stop this case, dead in the water. It seemed to me they are making everything so very hard, on all the fronts... Now, with Folks' help (on this forum) I see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and many encourage me not to give up. As per the number of attempts, initially I thought I am limited to only 3 attempts for a fiancé visa, and I've used already 2 out of 3, so I started beginning to worry, yes. That seems now to be a silly question, I do realize that
-
You probably would be surprised, but I still do not know the answer. I am not an expert. This is why I am on VJ: can she have a translator? This would simplify things a lot. Gurus on VJ: please tell. If a beneficiary would need a translator, is this common for them to allow one for the beneficiary at the interview? Again, I am sorry for not knowing what might seem to be the basic stuff. Again, this is why I am on VJ.

Hi Folks, once again, thank you for your support and advices. Most of you were genuinely trying to help. At the same time some are still confused. Even though I tried to answer the questions the best that I could without giving out detailed information about the specifics of my case. Sorry, I cannot go into the specifics: as I've said before, we would not need to hire legal help if USCIS would be on our side: it is the upside down situation (you have to prove that you're innocent, otherwise you're guilty) Since I promised to come back during this extended weekend and address the questions I am being asked here in this thread, I must do so. Since this topic became so popular. And I do respect people here. BTW, I never intended it to be so popular attracting unnecessary attention to something that might be very insignificant in my case that they are asking for in my RFE. As I've mentioned, it is just the difficulty obtaining very old documents that is really the issue. Overall, I have counted 20+ points to be addressed (for me to respond to) in the new questions here in this thread in one week. I will try to do so in my next posts here. I will try to do it all today. I will try to clear any confusion that is still left there. Spoiler alert: I hired a good attorney. Once this case is resolved one way or the other, I will be posting more details, but depending on the outcome, since I might need to appeal. In my next posts however I will try to address the points I can address.

Sorry folks for being silent here. I was superbusy with work. I will pick up on this over this weekend.
