This started out as a complex matter and now there is a baby in the mix. 

 

OP, along with the other issues, I do expect you will be quizzed intensively over the timeline. Your baby with another woman was conceived 5 months before your now-fiancé flew to meet you. So how long did you know here before she bought the plane ticket to visit? That’s astonishingly quick - to go from making babies with one woman to flying in another woman in less than 5 months. 

 

The CO will immediately suspect the old shuffle here - have a baby with a local woman, “break up”, meet an American, get a K-1, come to the US, divorce, marry child’s mother and petition her. This happens all the time. Be prepared for intense scrutiny. 

you are right . it is happening everyday and the timeline is so quick. you don't have to be CO to figure this out.

it will come soon

how did she manage to know you going for an interview at the US embassy in Ghana?

7 weeks to get interview letter. the only thing you can do is to wait.

passport size photographs.

this is replacing the ds5535 (which may still be given out)  but is to make it fair for all visas 

the old ds5535 required the last 5 years of info (cell numbers,   email ID's,  social media,etc) plus travel outside the country

they finally realized they could track passport stamps so they cut that part out

just follow the instuctions of ds 160

any email ID' connected to your cell phone or a computer (or a family member cell that you use) is needed /  things like whatsapp is an app and encryptied so not part of what they ask for

and my space is a social media so i would list it / if you never delected your profile there ,  you are still a member

this includes all dating sites you have a profile on (past and present)

and visa journey right or

Where the I-129F asks for citizenship he should put the country he is actually a citizen off as he is not a Spanish citizen... It will be obvious he is in Spain when he fills out his current address.

Just send the English version as requested. It's actually not uncommon for birth certificates to contain updated names.

Ultimately she may need to provide legal evidence of the name change (was the affidavit a legal name change from a government authority, or just a signed and sworn statement?) They may need evidence that the name is legally different, or how the change happened. If the affidavit can prove the legal change, then nothing more would need to be done.

correct

@TheDjans But will he have to show paperwork to prove his current student permit in Ghana?

Chat logs are one of the weakest pieces of evidence.  I would only include ones that seem special, especially ones that can match up with a trip that you both took together that also may include photos to match.  Maybe 5 to 10 pages of chat logs at most is more than enough.  Sending them more than that won't necessarily hurt your case, but if I was an officer I would look at someone who sent me 300 pages of evidence as a bit ridiculous, that's extreme overkill.  Especially if 95% of it is random internet chat logs.  Try to balance with many other types of evidence, to cover all your bases.

correct. at least one page from every month is good to go.

you need to correct it at the time of the interview.

Depends on the embassy, you should check the forums specifically for Ghana to see if anyone else had this issue. I can speak on what happened to my fiancee in Thailand at the embassy. Thai passports are only good for 5 year intervals unlike the US is good for 10. She had mentioned travel on the I129F going back close to 15 years. She had her current passport, and her previous one, but had lost her oldest passport showing a trip and or stamps entering and exiting south Korea about 10 years ago or so. The checked her current and most recent expired passport and were good with that. they did mention in the interview that normally if you lose a passport, they want to see a police report showing when and where you lost it. They didn't press the issue, and she got approval that day anyway because she had her current and last passport, and they thought that was good enough. So based on this experience, worst case scenario is you may have to get a police report that would show when and where you lost the older passport. This was at the US embassy in Bangkok, so how Ghana looks at lost passports may be different.

once you have your current passport you are good to go. He is  not going for tourist visa interview.

there is nothing like previous passport. just take current passport with you to the interview. thanks

Just a little info on my situation and emotional rollercoaster going threw the process as a K1. My now husband aand I went threw different emotions and started acting a little off with each other during the Visa process. It wasn't due to doubt or questioning is this really what we want? It was excited and reality of omg this is really happening then realising I'm leaving all my friends and family behind with slight fear. A few fights came out from it due to how each stage impacted us individually but after being open and honest with each other we knew it was the stress of the application. Before you jump the gun and withdrawal the application have you talked to him as to why he being different? It is a rollercoaster of emotion and it's vital to communicate with each other so there no cross wires. If you have that gut feeling after talking to your partner then yes I would withdrawal the application. 

 

Once I arrived in the US that was another rollercoaster of emotions and with communication and support we got threw it. Sometimes I would withdrawal from being home sick sometimes I was tired of being stuck at home but we got threw it we talked it out and was open with 1 another. We're now 9years married with 2 kids.. communication goes a long way. Just cause it doesn't work out for some people don't assume you'll be the same trust your gut and communicate with your partner to clear up any doubts

wonderful!

Our application got received in September 14 2018... how long does it usually take? It’s about to be 9 months and we haven’t heard anything yet. My mom is still in Mexico and we’re suffering a lot. Anyone from September heard anything? 

which service centre ?

you do not need new police report from Germany if you never went back.no matter how old it is. But it doesn't hurt if you get a new one as back up.thanks 

if you wanna do it well ,do it yourself.

I do not believe your cousin is telling you the entire story.... AWA denials are for 'specified offenses against a minor'. Neither of the things you described fall under that. So either he has another charge you are not aware of- or he was not given an intent to deny based on AWA but rather based on  domestic violence charges which are also under IMBRA but not AWA necessarily. Do you have a copy of the notice you can post with personal info blacked out? 

agree.

congrats

I don’t have to do ROC but I have been through a divorce so I have no immigration advice but please do take it slowly with the new flame. You haven’t been here long so you obviously haven’t been working there long. It’s very tempting during the final stages of an unhappy marriage to rush things with someone else. Maybe it’s the fear of loneliness. Maybe it’s establishing your own self-worth. The grass isn’t always greener. 

 

I would also check your company’s policy regarding establishing a domestic relationship with a co-worker. I was surprised to see it was very much frowned upon where I work and can even cause one party to be moved to another department. I found this out because a co-worker recently resigned following her marriage to another co-worker. She was told she had to be moved to a role where there is no direct involvement with her wife and she didn’t want to do that so she resigned. 

I like the part which says !the grass is not always greener!. wish talk.

Affidavits and written statements are of marginal utility when trying to show USCIS that you met in person within the prior two years and have an ongoing relationship. The VJ guides say it best regarding the types of evidence that works best....follow the guide.....

 

From the VJ step-by-step K1 Visa guide:

Good luck on your immigration journey.

EXCELLENT !
