amesina40...

Know one is asking you to give every little detail about your life... you came to VJ and told us that your fiance has been married before but did not know about the marriage... and then she happily gets a divorce for the husband she does not know and is going to marry you.... you then asked us if we thought this was going to cause you any problems...

People are trying to help you but they have questions about the marriage... if you do not wish to post that info then why ask the question in the first place.... I fear you will have many problems getting a K1... this is going to raise very big red flags when she goes for her interview.... the fact that she claims to have no knowledge of the marriage but went on to get a divorce is the part that most interviewers are going to have issues with....

I wish you the best of luck.... I do fear you are going to need it.

Yes you are right on. I came here to ask a question, gave the necessary details, got the necessary advice which was to go see a lawyer. I went to go talk to a few lawyers and some people who do work in the embassy. They assured me we won't have a problem and to just be honest w/ the situation. I already said early on the situation was all good and gravy, but so many questions were still being asked when the situation was already handled. Like i said i'd rather not post publicly all the private details of this situation. I'm sure that is understandable. Again i appreciate everyone's advice and honesty, and LonaD i apologize if u were offended by my comments. God bless and good luck to you all...

i think you have to understand that this is all just alittle too much to believe. And the easy one to get the info from is your fiance since she can get all the details from the aunt. but not many details do you or her seem to know. It all seems so foggy.

1. you fiancee was married but doesnt know it.

2. she came to the USA on a "RARELY given tourist visa. that alone puts her in the 1% top of all filipinos

3. her aunt somehow married her off while she was here and forged her name on the marriage certificate. no info is given on who attended or if you fiance was there. If that is the case, why did she leave? why didnt she adjust status and stay in the usa? If she went back was the guy doing K1? why would the guy marry her and then do nothing to get his wife to stay with him?

4. it doesnt show up on the Cenomar. is she married? is she single?

5. her "husband in the USA" grants her a divorce and pays for it though they have never really been married or together?

all this piled together says either you havent posted all the pertinent facts or your fiance isnt telling the complete story to you and is thus not being honest. And i can tell you for sure, the embassy will ask much harder questions then were asked here. i hope you have a very good attorney. ive seen many tell the filers that their girl will be in the usa in 2 months tops. Some of them give bad advice. i hope the one you have is on the mark and you get thru everything with no problems. No one here wishes you bad things. in fact most are concerned for you getting taken. maybe you could step back and look at it and then see why people here are seeing red flags everywhere.

You're right, i have not given all the facts and information about our situation, and im not about to get into every single little details and post it on the internet. We'd like to keep our lives private to an extent if that's ok w/ you guys:), and for me to just lay it all out here is just sharing too much w/ the world. I've given just the important facts and thought that was enough. I've done all my homework and covered all the bases in my situation. I appreciate everyone's help and concerns but i assure you guys everything will be fine and my girl will be w/ me in no time. I was just a little offended when someone just flat out called my fiance a liar, and you don't even know her. Then LonaD goes on to say, "they're just telling u the truth." Cmon now! I'm not an idiot, nor gullible, nor lonely or desperate. I don't have problems hooking up w/ girls from anywhere (don't mean to sound cocky or anything:) haha. But the fact that i choose to be w/ my fiance and go through all this trouble just to bring her to me, should hopefully tell you something, but maybe not. Like i said before, if you are THAT curious to know every single detail, just private message me. I know to some of u guys, this is just a soap opera and are just curious to know about every single detail. You guys can stop asking questions here, cuz u surely will not get anything from me. JUST PM ME! Again I appreciate all ur concerns. this site is wonderful!

Aright there seems to be much overreacting and am very offended some of you would say ###### about my fiance. i thought this site was to help people out, not offend.. It's true it's a very awkward situation but i've talked to some laywers and everything will be all right. I have everything i need to know and if anyone has any further questions just go ahead and private message me. i'd be glad if this topic would just be erased. i'm not gonna sit here and prove how true our relationship is and how much we wanna be together. i'd check some of your all's wives and fiances, before u start bashing mine.

Wow, sorry i took so long to respond. I had no idea this would be such a big problem since the divorce is already finalized. But to answer your questions, the marriage license came from the Philippines, im not sure if there's another one that came from the States. The divorce certificate on the other hand is from the states and is finalized w/ my fiance's and the man's signature. Also the CENOMAR is already completed. We have no idea how the auntie pulled this one off w/out my fiance being present at time of marriage. The marriage took place in 2004; she was on a tourist visa last year already unknowingly married.

I think the important thing is the divorce is finalized, and we have all the evidence we need of a true relationship.

My fiance's auntie somehow married my fiance to another man from the states without her even knowing it back in 2004, around the time i first met my fiance. This was done for the aunt's personal reasons as no one in her whole circle of family knew about the marriage. We were getting ready to file for the K-1 visa a few months ago, but got lucky and found out about the false marriage. To make a long story short, the guy agreed to file for divorce, and that completed just a couple of weeks ago, so we can now start the visa process. I wanted to get the marriage annuled but that would've been a more lengthy and more costly process.

My question is will this pose as a problem when it comes time for the interview or when they are reviewing the paperwork. Because they will notice she got married in 2004, but my statement will say we met around that time and started our relationship. I'm thinking it's best we just come open w/ all this so we dont have to hide anything from them; we'll state on the papers what exactly happened and that my fiance never knew about the marriage. If we do this will anyone get in trouble?? We have the marriage certificates, and my fiance's signature is not really hers. What I really want is to get her here as soon as possible w/out any problems & w/out anyone getting in trouble. Any advice?

Thanks!

I'm in a little bind right now because my fiance has to FEDEX me the signed G325A forms and signed letter of intent from the Philippines to hawaii. I'm hoping i will get those forms by the 30th, so i can mail the whole packet either on the 30th or the 31st.

If i send the packet with a postmarked date of July 31st, you guys think the $170 check will be ok?

thanks!

Nevermind! I got the info i needed:) i just know i will be too late and will have to pay those higher fees. im so excited. here's where i found the info:

amesina40,

The example form is not misleading, it's for a situation that is different from your own. For someone else, the example form is perfect.

That's the danger with example forms - one has to be aware enough to realize when the example does not apply to them (and those who are sufficiently aware usually don't need an example to copy from).

Yodrak

Well actually the situation in the example form is the same as mine, because the fiance has been to the states before just like my fiance (question 11). And in the example form in question 12, the first block was left w/ N/A, but in the next couple blocks the form had it filled w/ the I-94 information, which is why i thought i needed that info also, from the time my fiance was in the states.

Both the mom and dad of my fiance are both deceased. On the form G-325A where it asks for the city and coutry of residence of the parents, should i just put "Deceased"? Also will that require any supporting documents like death certificates. I dont see why they would need to see that, but so many supporting documents are needed, i just wanna make sure i do this right the first time.

thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply Liebi: ) I guess the example I-129 form http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-129F.pdf they have on this site is kind of misleading. Because in the example form on section 11 where it asks if fiance has ever been to U.S., it said yes. Then in section 12 (the first box), like you said it says FILL only if fiance is in the U.S. at time of filing, otherwise put N/A. So I would put N/A in that box in my situation. But in the example form in section 12 (the next 3 boxes), it has it filled out w/ the record #, date of arrival, and expiration date as shown on the I-94. So I was confused if I had to fill that out also from the time when my fiance was in the states or if i was to leave it blank, cuz according to the example i would put N/A in the first box of section 12, and in the last 3 boxes i would fill in the info from the time my fiance was in the states. I really just wanna make sure i'm doing this right the first time. thanks for ur help:)

Hi there: ) I am in the process of getting all the I-129 paperwork together, but I've ran into a problem. My fiance is currently in the Philippines, but has been to the United States before on a tourist visa. On the I-129 Form, it asks for the I-94 arrival/departure record number, date of arrival and date authorized stay expired. However, she lost her I-94 paperwork from she was in the states. My question is if it will cause a problem or delay in the process if i left that area blank or if anyone knows what else we can do on how to obtain this information, perhaps the embassy in manila still has records. thanks!
