Hello everyone,

I am a US Citizen and applied for the k1 visa for my fiancee in Sudan (Africa). We have met 5 times for the past 4 years with many photos/evidence.

We applied in February 2017 and Embassy/Consulate in Sudan finally gave her an interview in October 2017. At her first interview for my fiancee did not go well. The U.S. Consulate was accompanied by a Sudanese translator. When they opened the evidence (photos) of our relationship they gave her a hard time because they saw henna tattoos on her hand (normal for females to have it). They saw me with henna tattoo on my hand as well (I got it because my friend in the USA got married and its a tradition to get henna when your close friend gets married). It was a coincident because i flew to meet my fiancee a few days after my friend wedding in the USA and the henna on my hand was clear when i took photos with my fiancee.

If i knew this was going to cause so much trouble i would of have not sent pictures of me with henna. I did not even think once of it. 

To wrap this up we are really engaged, but the U.S. Consulate did not believe her at the interview, but they took her passport and told her they will do additional reviews. 

December she was called back for a 2nd interview and questioned her more if we were engaged or married. My fiancee explained to them many times that the reason I had henna was because my friend had a wedding and i got it with him. The translator who is Sudanese should know this as well but again i don't know why they cannot understand our tradition. Anyways they gave her back the passport and told her that they will send her case back to USCIS/NVC to handle it.

My senator has called them and confirmed that the case is arriving to the USA, but said he cannot do anything for us anymore regarding this. The status is still on AP. I read many stories where the USCIS will not review it and just let the case expire. Is that true? if that is the case I do not want to waste time. Can I just go to sudan, get married, and apply for marriage visa instead? Will this cause problem if our original case is waiting to be expired? If it will cause problem what can i do? Anyway i can tell them to just expire it NOW? Can my senator have them expire it early? I do not want to wait a whole 6-8 months for it to expire..that is a waste of time. 

Hello everyone,

Few questions: My petition got accepted 2 weeks ago for the k-1 visa to bring my fiancee to the USA. I have not yet received any mail that my package was received by the NVC yet. So in the mean time I want to get a head start and complete the I-134.

1) On part one of the I-134 Affidavit of support it asks the the sponsor (me) to identify either citizenship or residency or status. What do i put? I am a US Citizen and got my passport through my parents who are naturalized. I have never applied for the certificate of citizenship(too expensive) and it asks for that number. What do i do? I only have a USA passport. 

2) On part one of the I-134 Affidavit of support, it asks for the province. Do I leave this blank since I live in the USA?

3) Where am I support to send the I-134? Or do I email it to my fiancee to take to her interview? 

in case someone wants another credible source. 

CNN has it as a BREAKING NEWS on their front page at cnn.com

thanks again  

I am not 100% sure but you can call the visa processing center or USCIS to see what needs to happen. They will be gladly answer your question or someone here can answer that for you too.

I hope you find your answer! 

Looks like financee was added an hour before the ban took effect. We are good!

"He pointed out that the immigration act doesn't allow preferential treatment for mothers- and fathers-in-law — who were included in the administration’s definition of close relatives — but does give preference to fiances and fiancees — who were initially left off the list and then added in the final hour before the ban took effect."
