    And what was the "info" they kept asking you fo again and again that you said you sent and uploaded? Do you have a copy of a redacted RFE?

    Oh, also, will your job with your brother-in-law provide family medical insurance?

    What is your Your annualized income and occupation? Your liquid cash assets Living situation. Do you own or rent, and what are the mortage,and rent payments Will your wife's e-business carry over to the USA and continue her income? If so, what will that income be? Or did it go bankrupt? Why can't you get a 2nd job to support your Wife and child? If you have such low income and assets to not to be able to meet the UCISC guidelines, it will be hard to survive. All of the above can factor into the visa officiers decision.

    When he had his K-1 visa interview at the USA Embassy, did they ask him if he had any religious ceremony or any related questions? If so, what did he answer?

    Years later when you actually have your interview for the ROC, don't you need to bring all evidence up to the current date anyways?
  22. W199
    Note, please don't answer "no because I didn't have a SSN". Because you could have still filed, at least by paper, not to mention it would have saved your husband a lot of money in taxes.

    Today is tax day. Didn't you file joint taxes together? Or did you file married filing separately?

    You asked for thoughts ... So .. based on all the information you provided and especially what you didn't provide, I wish you good luck and really do hope you get approved, but there is a risk you will get denied, so be prepared for that. But either way, come back here and let us know what happens.

    There are a long list of manipulative tactics that she could have been planning. It depends on how clever, stupid, desperate, or cruel, etc she is. For all you know, she is being manipulated herself through crazy gang or a crazy bf, and had a sick plan for you to die “accidentally” through a “heart attack” with antifreeze (lol, just saw that case on Dateline on tv) so she can get her gc and then sponsor her real bf and family. Or simple sexual manipulation for swaying the divorce judgement in her favor, pregnancy, etc The point is, why do you care or wonder so much why she wanted to come over. You knew it was for benefit and games to further take advantage of you, you need to simply report/email/documejt this and any other moves from her it to your lawyer and move on… . And your lawyer needs to order a deposition to either uncover her dirt for the divorce or get her to perjure herself so she can be held in contempt. and Therapist!!!

    As others have said, you should cease all communications, and do all divorce negotiations through your attorney. To help prevent her from harming other USC, you can try to collect proof, and tell USCIS them about the bribe she offered you. Though with no proof, it may not help. But it won't hurt you. In fact, it can protect your USCIS reputation in that you are not selling a GC. Again, everything except withdrawing the I-130 won't help, but I don't think it will hurt to try. But it may be fruitless. If you have medical insurance, you should see a therapist ASAP to understand why you think you love despite knowing nothing about her for the most part, not to mention being abused and manipulated by her. Repeat, see a therapist ASAP, if for no other reasons to help deal with the divorce trauma and even bring your daughter. Even though you may be a therapist for others, you can't treat yourself.

    The PSA wait time varies, somes it is faster, sometimes it is slower. I think right now it is on the slower side. If you can provide a letter from an agency saying the certificate is urgent, then you might be able to speed it up. If you try to use a "fixer", it might work, but you are more likely to be scammed. Yes, the whole point of the Utah online wedding is that you don't need to be local in Utah to get it done, or even local in USA. You can and your fiance can both be in Cebu and get it done. Or you can be in USA, and she can be in Cebu and get it done. You just need to meet in person after it is done. No, you can't get legally married while already married, even to the same spouse. So no, you can't marry twice. But you can have a 2nd religious ceromony.

    Larry,. no matter where or how you get married, you will need the same CR-1 visa for spouse to immigrate to the USA if you have been married for less than 2 years. Its the same as a spousal visa The only point about the Utah wedding is that it allows you to file for the CR-1 visa sooner after you get married, because Utah will issue your marriage certificate immediately. In the Philippines you will need to wait 3-9 months. This will delay everything. If you are not in a rush, this is all a moot point. For the case you mentioned in Cebu where the guy had to jump through additional hoops to stay in the Philippines. That is probably because he needed a Philippines PSA marriage certificate, so he had to apply for a ROM then a PSA certificate. But if you don't plan to get a permanent residence visa in the Philipinnes then that doesn't apply to you. But even with only the foreign marriage certificate (Utah), you still qualify for 1-year Balikbayan visa when you return and enter the Philippines with your Wife.

    Maybe if you get a letter from the Embassy saying you need the PSA urgently for a VISA, they might accelerate it. Because for a PSA birth certificate (for a previosly unregisterd birth), the PSA said the same thing, to get a letter from the Philippines passport agency to speed it up, but the DFA passport agency said they don't issue letters ... still waiting 5+ months ...

    Hi Sorry, I misread what you wrote. Yes, since you are applying for a spousal visa, CR1, the waiver for the K-1 does not apply. But as I said, it should also be pretty easy to get the waiver. It was for me and others from what I heard. But that is always a small risk of wasting time if it is not approved. Just keep in mind if you get married in the Philippines, you will need the PSA marriage certificate to file for the CR1 spousal visa, and that can take upto 6-9 months to get after you get married. If you do something like a Utah online wedding, that will be very fast. But it may come with other headaches down the line. But other people have not had a issue with it. If you are not in any rush, as in years, then a nice Phililppines weddings sounds like a good choice .. just be ready for the whole Barangay to stop by to take out some food.

    My history is surprisingly similar to yours. Important, there are new K-1 rules now that didn't exist when you did this 20 years ago. Now that you have 2 or more prior fiance visas (K-1), you are NOT eligible to for another K-1 one without getting waiver. But there are no restrictions on CR-1 vias. That will add a lot of time if you marry in the Philippines since it takes many months to get a PSA marriage certificate, let alone several weeks to get married. With your I-129F, you will need to submit a waiver. I didn't, and got an RFE, but it only took about 4 days for them to approve my K-1 after getting the request for the waiver. All your waiver needs to do is prove you are not abusing the K-1 system, and you are marriages were legit, etc. This is just to prevent harm to girls from men that do serial K-1s for harming, absuing, human trafficing, etc ...
