Congrats!!! It's sad how people put others down to make themselves feel better, am sure some who have commented have done things worse than not paying child support. Have a happy married life and God Bless you.

I think upon reflection that calling her a scammer at the moment isn't correct since it was only sweetdaddys assumption that her friend would "probably marry him just to get her documents".. so what I said before stands but sweetdaddy you did not do your "friend" a favour by your assumption and given what you said you cannot expect us not to be irritated by it.

Too sad but he had done too much damage to his body.

You are being worried for nothing, I think they just want to see that you've been in touch. They will not be scanning your messages for smileys, I bet you on that. Save all that worrying for later, u'll be ok.

call now and see if they received it .. mine was received on June 22, yours will be in by now hopefully

I'll have my fiancee do that on Friday to be on the safe side. Thanks for the info!

FORTUNATELY they received the case june 22 and sent it out today to the listed embassy.. don't lose hope, I think it does take 20 days now with all the new procedures

Oh that's good news! Now you won't be waiting too long, start getting those interview requirements ready! CONGRATS

Spain played all the soccer but the USA had a very strong defence. Ramos did mess up with that poor defending on the last goal.

When petitions are reaffirmed, I wonder if they go through the nvc again, directly to consulate or which steps? Our case was approved and reaffirmed by uscis and sent back to consulate, but since we already have nvc case number... how does this process works. I know reaffirmations are not everyday things but anyones help would be great. I would call the consulate but they dont ever accept phone calls for visa information, but im sure we have to set up another interview. We have hope again. Thanks all .

The case goes back to the embassy through NVC again but this time you might not need an interview since whatever concerns they had has been quashed by the USCIS, hence the case coming back for them to issue the visa this time. Just have documents proving on-going relationship ready incase they ask for it and if police certificate(s) given at first interview is over 6 months then I would advice you to apply and get them at hand asap. We need all the luck now to get this over and done with. Good Luck.

A spousal petition doesn't expire. . .that may be your only choice because police certificates, once obtained are only valid for 6 months. . .so even if you get it while you wait for the next k1 to process, it will expire and you'll have to get a new one starting a cycle. . .

He needs to figure out where the power is, supervisor, etc. . .and get that certificate. Is Kosovo one of those places where nothing gets done without a bribe?

actually its my first time ever i find someone have difficulty to isse a police certificate ..its even a silly reason BUT ACCEPTABLE to deny the Visa ....

i see u r a K1 Visa ..rather u want for USCIS till they Mail u about Intention to revoke and by that time u submit a valid police certificate to them so the case is re-affirmed

or u can withdraw the K1 and start ovr again BUT u still need to get a police certificate after all ..thts a requirement for all visas category to USA

sorry about it

I don't see how it is acceptable to deny based on not having a document....and it is not a requirment for all visas or all countries...In Macedonia the rules were changed that the applicant only needs the Court certificate and not the police certificate........so based on that I don't think it is requirement..but yes the embassy can ask for whatever they want....

Police sertificates of everywhere your SO has lived since the age of 16 is very important and they can definitely deny you based on that. For the K1 visa to be issued at the embassy in any country, it is a BASIC requirement for which there is no way around it.

In the same situation as well, but for some reason NVC have not received our case just yet and it's been 20 days. Well I will watch this space to see how things go with you and keep you informed as well. Good Luck.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I have been seeing too many change of hearts in the past few days and somehow they all seem to still want to stay, taking the mickey!

I feel that K1 is crazy, meet someone once, then have a short 90 days to make that critical decision.

I'm sorry, this is a bit of a hijack, but a K1 is applied for not only in the circumstance you describe. I'm not sure how you made this leap.

Well said Chili74, I don't think the USCIS has a rule on filing after your first visit. It's your choice to file after your first visit or several visits. They are not there to make judgement calls on how strong your relationship is but common sense dictates that before 2 mature adults decide to go into marriage, they are sure that is what they want and know their partners well enough. I knew my Fiancee as a friend first and then we went on to date(this took about 7 years), not many people are patient enough but you can imagine there were loads of visits in-between.

So if you decide to file for a K1 after one visit, then you need to be ready for whatever goes with that which in my opinion varies with individuals as some people are lucky enough to meet their soul mates and understand them in that short period. Just my 2 cents.

She deserves whatever comes her way!

Seems to me some folks do not place that much importance on the subject of Marriage. Yes there will be rocky times, but if both are truly committed to the marriage, they will work it out. The weak will just punch out of the situation and shouldn't have been married in the first place.

It is interesting to read how many people are so perfect that they never make a mistake ...

... if it was so easy, the divorce rate would not be over 50%, in most countries around the world. Some people are better off not married to each other, even though they may have thought otherwise at the beginning of the relationship... and even after the relationship ended.

Count yourself as a blessed person if you stay "happily" married forever. Unfortunately it does not work out like that for over 50% of the population, no matter how mature, strong, etc. they are.

Oh no! I get it now: my parents were weak people. Thanks for helping me understand what I never understood until today.

I really don't see your point! What a lot of replies on here are saying is simple - GO HOME SINCE YOU NO LONGER WANT TO MARRY THE PETITIONER! How hard can that be? I guess you would like the petitioner to join the 50% divorce rate when she has gotten her greencard. It's so good she found out early she no longer wants to marry someone she claimed to love before she came but why would she want to find ways around the immigration system to stay behind? That reeks of FRAUD!

With friends like you(OP), one wouldn't need an enemy! If this friend was your family member, would you rat them out as well? I am so sure you don't even have enough information about their case for you to make such a decision but sheer jealousy has beclouded your sense of reasoning! Give them a break and be happy that at least they are not going through this hell which a lot of us have gone through just to be with our loved ones, that's what true friends are there for. If you knew about their intentions initially and didn't advice them, then you are at fault but if you see it's worked out for them and just want to be a hater then SHAME on you.

Just like everyone has said, if she is no longer interested in marrying a man that tried to save her from his ex then she should leave and not commit immigration fraud. Am sure she has seen more violence than that where she comes from and if I was a woman, my man's action would have reassured me that I will always have someone to stand for me. I just think her excuse doesn't hold water, but if you can just change your mind that quickly on marriage then one is not ready for marriage.

NVC don't set the interview date, the embassy does that and updates the system. I think your interview date depends on the marriage or departure date you gave in the forms sent to them. You can write a letter to the London Embassy about your change of mind and the wish to bring your interview date forward. I stand to be corrected though but I think that is how it works. All the best.

Case reaffirmed June 4th and NVC is yet to receive our case, will keep you guys posted.

The 90 days is to plan your wedding, not have a trial run on your relationship which you had going long before you decided to leave for the states. Your friend definitely didn't have any plans to marry and like most people said, it just makes it harder for others and gives the embassies reasons to deny some genuine couples!

Yes same here, since June 4th and NVC say they have not received it yet.

We also have a reaffirmed case and waiting on an 'interview'. At this stage the consulate is more or less compelled to issue the visa. They will only ask for updated forms but a 2nd interview wouldn't be needed. Just be positive but have enough evidence of on-going relationship. All the best.

I honestly thought they would have the decency to see the pain they have cause and expedite processing, oh well let's see what happens in the coming week. Thanks for the info.

Takes about a week but you can always get your receipt number from the back of the scanned check if you are eager to start tracking the case online!

I don't know how the system works there in the states, but don't they have a central police record? Here in the UK, you just get one If she was 16 at that time then I think one record for the state(if one is available) should suffice. Maybe someone who has done this can shed more light. All the best.
