Is he wanting to bring the child to the US? If so he needs to show he has permission from the child mother. 

 

You would file k1 for him and k1 for the child. 

 

I agree with the others too...when did you last see each other in person? Is there any reason why, in 11 years, you didnt get married? 

Yes. The child was young. I didn't want him leaving his child. We can prove friendly relationship, friends for many years. And yes all the trips, photos etc. But now that she is 15 we have decided we want to be together still. I decided in 2009 that I couldn't have him leave daughter, I married. Im now divorced. He is divorced for over 10 yrs. Yes 10 years...it has been hard when we would talk because I love him. I hate that I feel in love with a man so far away. I met him when I was there in 2007

and to apply for K1   now taking about a year if approved  she is 16 or more

then he comes to USA  she is 16 or more

he does AOS for green card and so many here are taking a year  /now she is 17 or more

from the USCIS site 

• Have been a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years

https://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/naturalization-spouses-us-citizens

 

we are talking 3 more years to even apply / now she is 20 or more

and it is taking a year to get citzenship  (one man was waiting 17 months)  / anyway now she is over 21

and has ages out

 

Thank you so much. This is helpful

The child can come over on a K-2 visa as long as they are under 21 and unmarried. Once they turn 21 or if she were to marry before coming to the US and receiving the green card, she would not be eligible for the K-2. If he does intend to bring her over, she needs to be named as his child on the I-129F petition. 

 

I don't really think that him coming to the US without the child initially would be a huge determining factor. People do leave children behind to move to the US to be with a new partner. Your biggest difficultly likely will still be proving a genuine relationship, especially since you have known him for a long time, with few visits within that time frame. Also, like someone stated above, you both need to be free to marry and legally divorced from previous partners before starting the visa process.  

Hi. I know people are reading my previous post form 2008 and yes he was separated at that point for about a year. He was not legally divorced at that point. Yes He is divorced for 10 years now. The reason we have not married....he had a small child and I did not want him to leave his small child. His daughter wants to come with him when he comes so this info has been helpful. Im going at the end of the year for just a week. Then next April for a month.

Based on OP's plan (see quote below), K-2 is not viable:

One requirement is that you have met in person in the last two years.  I see you've been in a relationship since '07, and have met three times, but has one visit been within the last two years?

 

On the face of things, it sounds like you have a good amount of evidence to demonstrate a legitimate relationship.  Just be sure to have everything documented to show an ongoing relationship (emails, chat history, etc).

 

If memory serves me, I do believe his son will also need a visa as well.  The particular requirements, I don't know.  I'm sure others can speak to that issue authoritatively.

Hi there. Thanks for the info. No that is the basis and reason for my question. He will not bring his daughter with him until she turns 18 then he would like to have her come. So that was my question can you leave on a K-1 visa if you still have a child below 18? I mean it seems like they deny for so many reasons I thought this could be a BIG reason for them to say no. If he left without the child. They might think he is trying to escape his responsability which is not the truth, But curious if someone is allowed to visa when they have a child

OK so we are 42 and 43 years old. My son is 21. His daughter is 15. He lives in Morocco. I guess I just need to see what the requirements are to even get a K-1 visa. I have read so many stories in here and it seems as though there are horror stories and many reasons why people are denied. We have known each other since 2007 and I have visited 3 times. I have visa Stamps,  correspondence, and many many photos back to 2007. Can someone give me advice or give me a list of requirements for the K-1 visa. Thank you In advance.

Hi there.....

Need to know if anyone can help me. I am

wanting to find out what anyone can tell me regarding Moroccan Laws Regarding Divorce.

I have been to Morocco many times and in the process got to know a man there in Rabat.

I know that he has been separated from his wife for many years....yet it has never been finaled or actual divorce received. We have spoken of getting married and at this point I am unwilling to go any further as I feel that I have not received correct information regarding divorce there in Morocco.

Here is what I am needing to know:

My friend said that it is hard for him to get a divorce. He also says that when seeing the judge that they have not granted the divorce for one reason or the other.

He also says that it is very expensive for him to get a divorce that is why he has not been able to do so.

From what I read on the Internet It seems that it is not hard for a man to get a divorce there in Morocco.

So I am sure that you can understand what my concern is here. I care for my friend of many years.....I have a feeling that I am not getting the whole truth regarding divorce in Morocco.

I need answers and the truth regarding divorce policy and procedure.

Is it hard for a man to get a Divorce in Morocco?

Is there reasons that a Judge may not grant a divorce in Morocco?

If you can please give me any information or point me in the right direction to get real answers, I would appreciate it so much. I am in love but also do not want to make a Huge mistake for this reason alone.

Thanks so much,
