Mariye & Ky

Don't be an enabler. If you keep sending they will also just keep sitting around . You are not the first and wont be the last.

I am all for hiring more people at USCIS, better work management and an easier process. I am not for turning a blind eye just so I can get what I want, when I want it.
If the Haitian TPS applications are truly the issue and I must wait to get a decision on my petition because they have prioritized TPS applications, then I am glad to it. I would rather wait a few extra months than to have some poor person get sent back to face disease, crime and possible death in Haiti.
For the people who complain about Haitians and TPS delaying their NOA2, do you even care at what expense it will take.
I love my fiance but I don't want to see someone else suffer because I want to hold hands and play googly eyes with him. I am just not that obsessed with him. God first, Fiance second in my life and I don't think God wants us to be this selfish.
Your foreign fiances will understand, because the kindness shown to the Haitians is something that they would want for their friends and family. You will soon be able to get married and start your family's a month or 2 won't make a difference in the great scheme of things. It might make a difference in life of a Haitian though. [/font]

Why do you assume or insinuate that none of us voted? And that last little 'scolding' of yours to consider what is important in our lives? I think we all know. Clearly, your post has nothing to do with the topic but something for the Political and Religious forum. And yes, in case your wondering, I voted.

What we do in haste come back to haunt us in many ways.

Actually they could be charged with Material Misrepresentation which would trigger a lifetime ban. Then they would need a hardship waiver to overcome the ban.
Why "Material" Misrepresentation instead of just misrepresentation? Well because the "I'm married in my home country" statement is used to prove strong ties back home. If the B-Visa issuance hinged upon that strong tie then they misrepresented a material fact that swayed the decision to issue the Visa.

If your suggestion is that we all *stay* on top of immigration during the next round of voting, okay...i agree with that. But to be so naive as to assume and suggest that you're talking to an entire forum of non-voters when the topic of interest is immigration, one of the most controversial and hot topics in politics today, is awfully naive and unnecessary.
anywho. off my soap box.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
I am very angry with you VisaWandering for the Nasty comments, Relentless fictional drama, Dishonesty and posting as a male! I'm not sorry for you at all.
You know, 8 pages? Really? And you just now decided to confess this after you ticked off half the community who tried to help you? Smart Girl! Brilliant Hypothesis. Did you get the test results you wanted?
Please go home to the PH before you overstay your Visa . There are so many honest Fiance's who must suffer the waiting pains and endure Manila so they can come to be with their beloved! You took a very valuable seat away from them, and the time of our American CO. That was nothing but greedy and selfish by you and your family.
Mari.
PS: Yanno? I bet you thought I was real just now from what I wrote. Nope. That was just a hypothetical response I think you're looking for still from the VJ Community. I still believe you're the K1 Petitioner and you want to pin this entire thing on her now! Who is Superlloyd then? And you shouldn't talk about sodomy in this arena. This is still a family channel.

Kudos to you Mari, what a good point you brought up!
Even though I am not a K-1 filer, I have a very good friend who filed 4 months ago and is still waiting to be re-united with her Sweetheart!
She is a perfect example of how things can get "crisscrossed" and how one can be misinformed for such important information in regards to getting the beneficiary to the USA. Unfortunately, she is not a member of this site(she is a member of a different Immigration community) and she received some erroneous information which ended up in the dreaded "RFE" and a DELAY of course! I told her that she should ALWAYS check, check and re-check (yes, I am OCD) and even then, "things can change with the drop of a hat" just as you were referring to with the change in the fees for the I-129F!
I always try to be very careful when answering/posting on VJ as the questions and concerns are sometimes very delicate and IF I were to post an answer or give advice on these matters and it was wrong, of course I would gladly accept a correction and try not to get upset or take it personally even though it is hard sometimes to swallow
We all are in the same boat and are here to help and support one another and I know that we get frustrated and impatient (I am VERY guilty of this) SO if one of us makes an honest mistake here, and we are corrected, then be thankful that we have knowledgeable members that are willing to help and support us through this Journey
On a final note, Good Luck to everyone one this K-1 forum and GOD SPEED!

You're filing for AOS almost 3 years after your K1 and marriage. You will be eligible for a 10 year green card so it sounds like you are being asked for the kind of evidence we sent with our Removal of Conditions, over what is normally sent with AOS right after the marriage. Since you have been married three years, they expect to see a lot of evidence from the whole three years showing you live together and co-mingle your finances. Going down to get a joint bank account suddenly after 3 years of not having one will look more suspicious than having joint accounts way back from 2007 until now. You should look over the guide for removing conditions and scroll down to see the kinds of evidence people submit to show a bonafide marriage.
http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide
Answer each of the questions they sent you or provide the reasons why you don't have that evidence. Also supply anything new you can using that list in the link to give you ideas of things to send. It is very serious, so do a very good job and get it returned well before the deadline.

The K1 process is broken up into 2 parts (more or less), the petition and the visa.
The petition is filed in the US by the USC. It's basically the USC asking for permission for his fiancee to apply for a visa. For the petition all you send is here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide
Once the K1 petition is approved (this means the US government has approved the permission to APPLY for the visa) the case will be sent to the US consulate in her country for the visa application. In the link above scroll to the section that says "What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2)".
Even though it's headed "once its approved" you should aim to work on that information about 2 months after the petitions been sent. This way you'll have less of a delay and working on it early gives you time to get it together before the NOA2 is approved.
Because your question directly relates to the I-134 I'll mention that specifically now. The I-134 actually has NO requirement for a tax return. The actual requirement is letter from employer and bank letter. However, some countries have their own requirements to include the tax returns so make sure you check the beneficiaries country's requirements to see if it is required. The I-134 isn't needed until the visa stage (that's after the petitions been approved). Lately it seems the NOA1 (petition receipt) to NOA2 (petition approval) is around 4 or more months. So you have plenty of time to worry about the return.
A few posts after the OP you mentioned confusion about "for 2 people" in relation to income. Basically when the income level is discussed the requirement is based on the number of people in a household and 125% of the poverty line for that household number count. The minimum will ALWAYS be a 2 person household because that's you plus the immigrant (your fiancee). The household members would go up if you or she has kids or various other reasons (even though the I-864 isn't required until after you're married for adjustment of status, it more clearly explains the household count situation so you can read that for a clearer idea). So currently for a household of 2 (which is the minimum number of people) the USC need to earn $18,212. If the USC can't meet that amount then they can have a co-sponsor who DOES make over that amount. Bearing in mind the co-sponsors household size. So for instance, your mother, if she's still married her household is 2, PLUS the immigrant so her income level will need to be for a household of 3 (someone provided the I-864P previously, that lists the levels), and if she has kids that are still dependants, or the immigrant has kids then the household count would go up.
So in short - income doesn't matter until the Visa stage. Send the petition now and when the petition is approved she will apply for her visa and THEN the income stuff will matter. So you're looking at around 4 months from sending the petition to when the income stuff is needed. Bear in mind that if it passed April 18 2011 they will require the 2010 tax return. If it's before April 18 they will only require the 2009 tax return.
Hope that helps explain it.

DCF is a blessing Rebecca and if you can go that route, go for it!!

Sorry mate, i didnt quite catch that - can you repeat it for me please

Baron? How can he find it if he doesn't have the receipt number? Can he find it another way?
Delilah's Man: Here is the USCIS link in case you need it. https://egov.uscis.g...is/Dashboard.do
EDIT: DM did you get a text or email with that receipt number? If so, you can put that in the website box where is asks you for it.

Hi all!
I actually plan on taking my fiance's last name even though I'm fairly established professionally. Call me old-fashion I guess. Plus hyphenating my last name would actually be somewhat comical since my maiden name is Small and my married name will be Dainty. Can you imagine seeing something like that...Jamila Small-Dainty?
Great question Mari!

You appear to be disputing the assertion that "real men" don't do those things.
The logical conclusions from this are either that you believe that "real men" do in fact do these things, or you aren't a "real man"

Real men do not prove their manhood by abusing women, children or animals. Neither do they find humor in crude jokes about same!

To the OP, where do you live? Are there other VJ'rs out here that can help this lady in your area? Food, money, baby stuff..anything?? Lets try to do some real help here!

-1 for total pettiness.
btw...that particular av is on VJ's own pack of preloaded avs to choose from.

This is the original #1 post: YOU SAID:
I have been talking to a filipina online for several years. Getting together/eventual marriage was only discussed as a possibility. Was this the part where it's hypothetical? She decided to marry another man and told me of this. I accepted the situation although her marriage was primarily for stability.
I am student, he makes a very good living. Also, I have yet to get the money to see her in person as well. I thought you just said it was because of your research contract but that says you do not have the funds to visit?
Although she had many reservations about the marriage, she came here to follow through with it. He did not show up to the airport when she arrived and was unavailable by phone. She called the only other person she knew in the country and I flew out to pick her up. She has been staying with me and decided not to marry the other guy. We have started dating. As long as things continue to go well, I believe we would like to get married. So again, you just said you have made it clear that you have not decided in post #18, but here you say "... we would like to get married"... hypothetically I guess, or pre-meditated since you also said you like to plan ahead.
She will be leaving before her 90 days is up on her K-1 visa. My quesiton is about the possibility of myself applying for a second K-1 visa for her once she returns. Maybe it would be better if YOU looked and did more research yourself at the USCIS website for K-1 requirements. As Jim said, you already met this requirement.
Since most of what the VJ folks said is not up to par for you, then maybe you can take the rest of these questions to your legal advisors and skip this thread. "Is this possible? Are there any actual examples of this being successful? Is there an issue with her deciding so quickly that he was not the right man for her, even though his behavior may have justified it. I feel like our meeting in person while she is on another person's K-1 will be a problem. Should I wait a specific amount of time to file the K-1 or will I be successful filing it immediately? Her first K-1 was filed in June of 2010. Should we reveal our prior relationship in our application or claim we met for the first time while she was here? I realize I have asked a lot of questions. Thank you in advance for your help."

look in the mirror there, Mr. Researcher....
PS: I see you're still acting out towards the posters. We're not your anger management class. Didn't you learn anything from your ex-wife?

I’m going to call you out so you understand why so many good, honest and genuine VJ members could not answer you directly. Also, so you own your own behavior and part in this with mature accountability. Since reading your post and replies, it leaves me with a heavy heart to see the veil over your eyes and for this I'm very sorry.
Many like as Jim, Vanessa, Maria, T-Bone, Amy & Nick, gave much effort to answer you in regards to meeting the K1 requirements and the time suggestions so as to develop your relationship. From what I read (and where it gets sticky), members attempted to answer you and requested detailed information. Some raised a plethora of questions about the information you listed in post#1. Several said inquiry and scrutiny would be raised not only by this community but from the CO to the nth degree! That was not pointed solely at you, but anyone who is requesting a Visa.
I feel it has been unwarranted to use admonishment and chastise in a poised manner towards posters accusing us for not paying attention to your subtle-allusions (post#70), your subtexts (post#57), and unwillingness to provide detailed information (post #18).
You know what? We were.
At first, I could not fathom why anyone would become so defensive when we asked for more details, until you told me (post#55) that it should be obvious that you are “speaking in the hypothetical.”
This whole time the original post was hypothetical and yet you never stated that DIRECTLY to US. You assumed we would 'just know'. The thread carried on alluding to the fact that your situation was indeed reality; therefore, we were left to believe you and the statements you published. How could we answer anything directly and to your satisfaction if you made up the rules as we went along? And by YOUR judgment over us, we were verbally punished to make up for our lack of understanding, inequities, or as you put it, ill-informed misinterpretation.
How unfair and really, I see it as badgering the greater VJ community members who were truthfully and sincerely trying to help you. Yet as many said, it doesn’t fail the constant process that continues to come to mind: Is this relationship entirely hypothetical and a sham of premeditated fraud for a Visa? Sorry, not judgment but most likely the same question the CO will ask by deduction of information you’re providing. (Hypothetical or not)
Lastly, I asked you if you were also superlloyd because I thought somebody could edit our posts besides us. Since your OP name is Visawandering and I kept seeing superlloyd editing beneath your replies, even that was bit confusing. That was not meant as an insult but an attempt to gain understanding of VJ navigation. I looked up the profile out of curiosity. I found these:

superlloyd, Posted 25 February 2010 - 09:10 PM My ex-wife has a restraining order on me from 10 years ago when I plead guilty to a charge of aggravated assault. Will I still have a chance of bringing my fiancee over on a K-1 from the Philippines? Is this the same girl as you hypothetically speak of who is with you now?

superlloyd, on 06 January 2011 - 03:49 PM, said: does anyone have any knowledge of a person here on a K-1 visa that married someone other than the petitioner, applied for a CR-1 with the new spouse and went back to their country within the 90 day period successfully obtaining the CR-1? <BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">
A very well respected VJ member answered that for you. I hope you got what you needed. But as Maria says above, reminds me of what scammers would do. To my knowledge, Visa Fraud is a Federal Offense and in my humble opinion a mockery of the Country we love and live in.
Now, you say we do not pay attention and I would go so far to say that few more looked at those postings too. But from that series of questions you posted last year and the other day, and the lack of information you give in this thread, accusing us consistently while trying to answer you, both of those in addition to this thread appear as calculating to me. Now is it that difficult for you to grasp why so many were confused and needed clarification?
I don’t take to well to abuse, verbal or other, and I will defend those whom you reprimanded because this VJ media is invaluable to so many. While you and your friend hypothetically visit one another, the rest of us live in reality and are very serious about our Visa Journeys. We are in love with our beneficiary or petitioner. We are authentic people involved in legitimate, committed relationships. The support and friendships made around the world should be respected and an example to you of the innocent people you freely and sharply rebuke!

Maybe you should pay attention… to your behavior. Please note* THAT was the only thing direct and obvious.
