    K 1 denied & I 601 waiver

    in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)

    Posted

    I'm quite amazed that with everything that has happened and coming here for some advice, I get to read all of the comments people think they have to make beyond any advice given. As if we aren't hurting enough already, all of the "special comments"  added don't help, didn't care for all the extra comments 4 years ago and didn't come back for advice, this is her account. She made her mistakes in her younger years and now is suffering the consequences and she is well aware that there may never be a path for her to America because of it. I'm sure we've all made our share of mistakes in life and been given another chance, I'm willing to do the same for her.

    The annulment was completed in January of 2016 as we knew there is no divorce in the Philippines, we waited to make sure it was registered with the PSA/NSO before we applied again, not knowing we needed the waiver. I plan on filing the waiver and talking to an immigration lawyer when i get back to the states.

     

    For those of you who offered advice, we greatly appreciate it and hope we can get the issues resolved, one way or the other.

    For those of you that are here looking for advice on your visa issues, we wish you the best of luck and hope it all works out for you.

    Her annulment is official and was obtained from the NSO directly. I wish things had been done differently as well but we're beyond that now and looking for a way to make things right. I'm not moving to the Philippines, so that option is out. I appreciate the feed back from everyone, not sure what the outcome will be. Had I been aware of the wavier requirement, I would have filed for it 3 years ago. I am somewhat taken back that the determination I received from USCIS on the first denial didn't have directives or tell me why it was denied, I sent for a Cenomar myself and that is how we discovered that marriage had been recorded as legal. She was only 17 at the time the marriage took place, her mother did not give permission for the ceremony and did not attend, mistakes were made at a very young age and now she's paying for it. The denial determination did say in the 1st denial that we could file again, so we took the steps to get the annulment and file again not knowing we needed to file for the waiver. I guess filing for the waiver is the only option we have now and hoping it will be approved.

    Why obtain a certificate from an outsider? Do you mean a fixer?

    Greetings!

    Just my two cents. Before you move forward just make sure that the CENOMAR  (CERTIFICATE OF NO MARRIAGE) is authentic and that she was not registered as married. The easiest way is to check the Local Civil Registry as well as PSA/NSO.

    Cenomar is registered as "absolute annulity " and was presented with her documentation

    The Cenomar she obtained was from a fixer, she was not aware of that.  Her 1st Visa was denied because she was registered as married.  She did not think the marriage was legal as I originally listed. She the had the marriage annulled and registered, this took almost 2 years. We have the paperwork and presented it, Visa was denied as they claim she filed fraudulent paperwork the first time.  We were told at the embassy that her Visa was denied and would be put on hold until they hear about the waiver. If the waiver would be approved,  they would ok her visa and let her know and we would not have to start over. My concern is there is a slim to none chance the waiver will be approved. I also have concerns that if we get married  her Visa could be denied again due to what has already happened.

    Hello, my fiance and I just went thru the K-1 visa process in the Philippines as I am in Manila hoping for the approval, she was denied again. This all stems back to our filing in 2012 which was also denied for willful misrepresentation of a material fact which was an inaccurate Cenomar. She did attempt to get married in 1998 but didn't think the marriage was legal it was not preformed by a judge but was preformed by the police and she did not stay with the man she was going to marry. When we first filed for her visa in 2012, she did obtain a Cenomar from a man who worked out side the NSO office and he went  inside the NSO office and bring the Cenomar back to her, I did receive notification from USCIS of the first denial. We have completed the visa process again and we went to the U. S. Embassy in Manila for her interview, the agent the asked for her I 601 waiver which we were not aware we needed and were not told about it. The agent told us she should have received notification that she would need the I 601 approval after the first visa was denied, she did not receive this notification nor did I.

    I guess i have a couple of questions.

    1) What are the chances of getting the I - 601 approved?

    2) The agent at the embassy told us it would probably be better if we just got married and then apply for the K-3 visa as she would have a better chance of getting this visa.

    We don't know which way to go next, would greatly appreciate some feed back.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    @Mapan, you are talking about your NOA2 approval, correct?  As I suspect that is the case, then you have to wait for it to get to the NVC.  It is taking about 6 weeks to get there at this time.  You or Your fiance can start calling them 10 days after the approval, but more than likely it won't be there yet, as I said it is taking about 6 weeks right now.  You can call every day, they are very nice, they will just tell you that it is not there and to call back in a few weeks.  Be as patient as you can.  Once you have your MNL number, it can go quick from there.  Make sure that  you have your NBI, BC and Police Clearance from all countries that you have lived in for more than 6 months.  

    It is...thank you for much for the info😆
