its time to lawyer up!

I'm just curious if she made financial restitution to the guy who filed her K-1 visa petition. You know - the one it "didn't work out with" before, in the course of 90 days or less, she managed to "fall in love with" someone else. Just curious.

Ya, I wondered that as well. There may be another part to this story... perhaps the petitioner broke up with her, right? Then I would say fine... not her fault. Or maybe he treated her like he married his maid. I've heard stories like that. However, if she dumped him immediately after arrival without cause, I'd have little sympathy for this case...

But we don't really know, so I guess the benefit of the doubt is appropriate here.

Also, please note that the Phillipines is one of the most difficult offices in the world to obtain a waiver from. Like emt103c has stated, check out immigrate2us,net and you must do a consult with a one of the lawyers who has extensive experience with foreing filed waivers. It is so difficult to get a wavier there, you need some good legal help. If you check out the other forum, I believe that there was only one member who has been successful filing in Manila.

spookyturtle, you are absolutely right!

I was born and raised and went to one of university in the Philippines but I find myself very happy and enjoying working outside my country. I even chose to process my K-1 Visa in Hong Kong to come to the US while I was working there instead to doing it in my own country the Philippines.

Philippines is most difficult offices in the whole wide world!

I have a friend who married a woman that was here on a fiancee visa. But, he was not the one that petitioned her.

The relationship with the man that petitioned her did not work out. She met my friend, fell in love with him, and married him.

She then overstayed her original fiancee visa by 3 years before returning to the Philippines. They are currently in the process of doing the CR-1. The USCIS side was approved, of course.

The pressing question is this... When it comes time for her interview at the Manila embassy, will the embassy impose a ban on her re-entry to the United States because she overstayed her previous visa?

Is there anything he or she can do to avoid a ban.... is there a way around this since she got married to a United States citizen here, and then returned home to go through the spousal visa process.

Will they be banned? Do they have to be banned? Can they get a waiver of any ban because they are married? Can they appeal a ban? What if anything should they do or can they do in this situation? Is there any painless solution so that they can be reunited in the USA in a relatively short period of time?

Thankyou! (And no.. it is not me, my filipina wife and I have been happily married and living together in the US for over 4 years. )

The best way to solve this case is to get a lawyer who have a good experienced handling this kind of cases.
