I 601
Austin96 replied to Ra2023's topic in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)
once my i-601 waiver was approved (over 18months), I was asked to submit a new ds160 (k1 visa) for which I had to pay the fee. Additional docs required were a new police certificate and a new medical. Hope this helps -
In the updated Form I-134 (updated on the 13th Jan 2025), it states the following, 'Who May File Form I-134? You may file this form on behalf of yourself or on behalf of a B, F, or M nonimmigrant requesting extension of stay or change of status. Form I-134 may also be requested by Department of State in certain instances. Do not use Form I-134 if the beneficiary you are agreeing to financially support must have Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, filed on their behalf instead In light of the above, can anyone clarify if the K1 Visa holder is NOW required to submit their Form I-134 when attending their interview... Thanks

No problem. I had established eligibility for consideration of the rehabilitation waiver under subsection 212(h)(1)(A) (15 years) , therefore saw no purpose in also addressing eligibility criteria (hardship) under 212(h)(1)(B). As your fiancée is at year 7 since the conviction, she is only eligible to apply under the latter. If you need further advise join the i601 waiver support group 2021 and beyond via Facebook. There are some good recommendation for lawyers that just specialize in I601 and are not that expensive.

You are absolutely correct in your assumption. Theft is regarded a CIMIT. Additional, the law and the sentencing guidelines of the country where the offence was committed would apply, insofar as the I601 waiver application is concerned. Hence your fiancée would not be eligible for the petty offence exemption. Your fiancée's circumstance are very similar to mine (based in the UK). I was the beneficiary of the K1 visa, attended the visa interview here at the Embassy in London. K1 visa was denied on the grounds my theft conviction was a CIMIT. Was advised to apply for I601- waiver, which has just been approved after waiting almost two and half years. Just so you are aware, I filled out and submitted the I601 waiver application by myself and without a lawyer as I was quoted £5000 by a lawyer. Hope this helps.
