previous k-1 applications

[HiTech 0]

Hi everybody, happy sunday,

I have a question to ask, my SO has had a k 1 visa and came to the usa in june 06,

then she had to leave because the relationship was not working out. and she did not over stay the 3 months.

and they did not marry, then they decide to try again, and they filed another k 1 in jan. 07 and got an interview date in june.

Then she had to cancel that because he started seeing somebody else.

We applied in april and are waiting for noa 2.

Now she is worried and doesn`t know if we will get the visa.

any idea`s ?

best of luck to everybody this week !

Too late now but I would have suggested sending a brief letter of explanation with the petition. At this point, I'd put that brief (Did I mention brief?) explanation (maybe a paragragh) in her updated letter of intent for the interview and a similar recap explaining you're aware of the situation in yours. Then visit as often as you can, including being in Bangkok at interview time. If you can attend, fine, if not let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate you're there suppporting her. You'll need plenty of evidence your relationship is bona fide.

And exactly how is he supposed to get his passport to her, and why in all that's holy would anyone ever surrender their passport to someone else?

Please note, to effectively communicate in English one must be able to be unambiguous write. "If you can attend, fine, if not" does the attend refer to Attending the embassy at interview time, or does it mean to be in the interview so no need to see the passport. You took it to mean be with her in the embassy and could not go into the interview, others did not.

You're making my point about complete sentences. Towards the end of then sentence your question is answered with the phrase, "let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate you're there suppporting her."

Again, you cannot demonstrate you're there unless you're there, making how you get your passport to her, pretty simple.

And when you wrote "you're there supporting her", you didn't explicitly state where there was? There in the country, there in the consulate, or there in spirit?

When you wrote "If you can attend, fine, if not" meant what exactly? If you can attend by being in the country, or actually attend the interview?

It would have been much clearer if written as follows:

Then visit as often as you can, including being in Bangkok at the time of the interview. If you can attend the interview with your fiancee, fine, if you are not allowed to go inside the consulate with her, then let her carry your passport into the interview to demonstrate to the CO that you are outside waiting for her and supporting her.

But hey, I'm an engineer, not an English expert such as you.

I'm sorry you were unable to understand my sentence as written.

Have to agree with you Roi, I too struggled with the part you bring to attention.

Somewhat suprised as Pushbrk is usually the first one to point out concerns regarding clarity.

I hear you truffles.

When people think they are better than other's, they lose the ability to recognize that what they think makes perfect sense to them, makes no sense at all to the people they look down at.
