    What we asked....

    Hello, My fiancée, Leda and I have filed the I-129F petition for a fiancée Visa. The Petition is at the California Center and based on the timeline on the USCIS website, our petition will be reviewed in mid-September.
    We are planning for Leda to visit me in July in California during her holiday from school in Rio de Janeiro where she is a teacher's assistant for the city.

     

    We have three questions.

    • First, in addition to the notarized invitation to visit me in July (with the specific dates) and her round trip ticket what other documentation would you recommend she bring with her to prove "ties to home"?
    • Second, when the immigration officer asks her for the relationship between us, how should she respond?
    • Third, we understand that Atlanta may not be the "best" airport for her arrival in the States.
      (She has a B1/B2 Visa and has been to the US before.)
      Do you have any thoughts or recommendations on the airport she should fly into in July?

     

    This is the response...

    Well, unfortunately, she's going to have a problem at the port of entry. She is not supposed to visit when she has immigrant intent. I understand that you state that she will go home after her visit, but they just won't believe her.
    One of three things can happen if she tries and is not able to convince them:

    1. They will allow her to withdraw her request to enter the U.S. and she can go home, no penalty.
    2. They will not allow her to withdraw her request to enter the U.S. and will order her excluded. This has a 5 year penalty that she cannot come back unless she gets a very hard to get waiver.
    3. They will not allow her to withdraw her request to enter the U.S. and they catch her in a lie and they exclude her with a permanent bar due to fraud and/or misrepresentation and with that charge she cannot come back unless she gets a very hard to get waiver.

    So I wouldn't even try. Go visit her instead of her coming to visit you. I wish I had better news for you, but I am trying to keep her from getting in trouble and I hope you realize that.

     

    Considering everything I have read on this forum, his response seems harsh and doesn't align with the experiences detailed here on the forum.

    We would appreciate any guidance from people who have actually experienced the process.

     

    In gratitude, Leda and Lani

     

    I’m from Rio as well and I went to visit my fiancé last year with a tourist visa while our case was at USCIS. I didn’t have any problems. What I’ve heard is that is tough to get a tourist visa while you’re applying to K1, but I already had a tourist visa for years, so...

    We received our RFE today and that's what written. He's not sure he's still has the airplane stubs, but he definitely still has the passport stamps. What do you suggest we do? Send only that? Wouldn't be too less?

     

    We had already sent statements like those they suggested, but we only sent 5 pictures. Should we send more pictures, the engagement ring and wedding dress receipts?
