hello all,

Initially, I started my journey posting questions about my K1 visa petition being too complicated as it is. The first post I had was about filing a K1 visa petition as soon as getting divorced. With it, after I stated my case, I got all the haters, without even thinking whats the real deal. Let me give you guys an idea on what was our situation before today.

My fiance was married to a Filipina for 8 long years. They have a 6 yr old kid. He petitioned the first wife 2002 with an IR1 visa category. In the middle of the petition, my fiance met me, around 2004. We started chatting online, since we were only introduced thru MySpace and finally met July 27, 2005 when he visited philippines that time. I knew about the marriage but he said they are longer together so I continued with the relationship with him. When he went back to US after that 1 month visit, I learned that they are still together and the petition is still running. That moment that I knew that they are still together, I broke up with him and the next day I knew i was pregnant with him. I continued with the baby, gave birth April 25, 2006. When my baby turned 3 months, I filed for a CRBA for him and it was granted and now he is a US Citizen already.

IR1 for the wife got approved March 2008 and left for Hawaii on April 2008. My 'fiance' continued with the petition because he thought the relationship with the first wife will be fixed once she get to the US. My fiance went to Guam and not flew to hawaii with her because he got an offer for a new job and a business around end of March. As you notice the petition took alot of years and the first wife already had the plans all set and dont want to go with him to Guam. THe whole plan was for the wife to go to Hawaii and my 'fiance' try to go to Guam and check out the life there. My 'fiance's ' business went well the same time as the wife got a stable job in Hawaii. He wanted her to come over to Guam with him and unfortunately, they started fighting over it and resulted to divorce. My fiance filed for a divorce on July 2008, that was 3 months after the wife got to the US.

My fiance decided that after the divorce, he will petition with with a fiance visa petition. Divorce was granted Oct 3, 2008. My fiance filed for my K1 visa on Oct 10, 2008. He went to Manila for 5 days and proposed to me on October 15, 2008. I am all worried about our case bec he just got divorced and the ex wife just got to the US. I know that it will be a red flag for them. But we still pushed thru with it as we really have a bonafide relationship with trials and mistakes along the way.

We were also worried about his income when we'll have my affidavit of support since he got there in the middle of the year meaning it will be hard for him to earn income good for 6 household. THat will include the ex wife, their kid, me, our baby my first kid and him. But his business suffice the income and made 35k for 6 months plus savings. so were ok with that.

People here thought that we are having a VISA Fraud with my case and will cause the first wife to be deported and me being denied on my interview. Let me tell you guys that I JUST GOT MY VISA APPROVED, for one because we really love each other and our relationship is genuine. Mistakes happen, we are just people not perfect as it is.

For all the people who hated and posts stuffs againsts my case, I understand your point. And thank you also for being a part of our journey.

Thank you people!

My STucked @ NVC family means alot to me. Thank you, thank you thank you.

Your story had lots of emotional. Anyway, you got what you deserved. Good luck for the rest of your journey.

Awesome! congrats :dance:

Sorry, youre stuck. I must agree, thank goodness you know you arent alone and you can see the trends and plan from there.

Good Luck!

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that you're stuck :(

Hope it won't take you too long to get released. Average seems to be around 45-50 days.

Can you please update your timeline? :time:

It really is useful for those of us who are trying to keep track of how long the wait at NVC is taking.

You will then also be able to watch your progress too.

Good luck, and welcome to our little (growing..) family here.
