Visa delayed

[narzel 0]

Im just looking for a little guidance now if anyone can help

My fiance finished her interview they did not deny but delayed it

when asked what our plans were together she replied we wanted to have a child together and raise our family

we are also bringing her daughter over my income was sufficient for 3 but because she said we wanted to have a child they based it on 4 and told her either i had to show proof of substainable income or she would have to write a letter stating she would be willing to work but would also have to convince the consular that she was not doing that just to get the visa?????? i dont know what she should write because if she does that isnt she doing it just to get the visa??? and as far as substainable income i dont know what they are asking they said either or ...do they want me to find a co sponsor????

everyone said she should not say she intended to work that that could cause her to be denied a visa so i guess i am a little lost help!!!!!!

my cousin is an immigration lawyer in new york.

she said never to mention work in the interview. because the sole purpose of the K1 is to be with your fiance. it is a fiance visa. not a visitors visa nor a work visa. so to say you intend to work would raise suspicions. to say you wanna see the US would be a bad idea too.

answers should all be along the lines of... to get married, to be with my fiance, etc. anything beyond that would point to a visa denial or delay for further investigation.

building a family should not be mentioned. if they ask, just say... eventually in the near future, or something like that.

of course in the long run we would have to work and help out our spouses, thats a given. and the consul knows that.

bottomline is... just say you want be with your fiance and get married.

kids and getting a job should not be mentioned if possible.

thanks pretty flower so how do you think she can undo this

i mean they said they want a letter stating she would be willing to work i dont understand why they wouldnt just accept that there and would make her reschedule? and should i now start considering a co-sponsor or should we go with the letter a co-sponsor would be the only way i could get to the income they require at least for this yr

depends.

what was the consul's final word?

was the visa denied or delayed?

does she have to go back for another interview? and bring more documents?

you have to know what they want to determine a remedy for this.

delayed not denied she said she would not have another interview that either i had to show proof of sustained income or she had to write a letter stating that she was willing to work ,but as i mentioned according to the 2008 federal poverty guidelines i more than exceeded the requirement for a 3 person family and 4 for that matter i just saw the note and it said i had i was insufficient for 3 but i made over 30k so how can that be

the only thing i can think is i do contract work for a union so i have to work for multiple contractors i submitted paystubs from each and w2's etc so unless the consular was only looking at 1 i dont know what they want

ok wrong message sent. no problem narzel.

i havent talked to my cousin in weeks but i remember her warning me not to mention work or kids at the interview.

its a given but it should not be said.

consuls take everything word for word and anything you say can and will used against you. or something like that. lol.

going to work right now pretty id love to talk with you more on this

[tallcoolone 102]

Manila Usem does not accept co-sponsors for K1 visas. Your fiance should state in her letter that she is willing to work to be able to help out with your finances ONCE PERMITTED to do so, like once she gets her greencard or after she gets a work permit. She should not forget to say that her main reason to go to the U.S is to be with and marry you.

Manila does accept co-sponsors. Just because a few have not been accepted doesn't mean they dont' accept co-sponsors.

From reading VJ it seem like most with co-sponsors are still getting approved....

The unborn child should not count even count as a dependent for your wife. That's not fair for her and you... what they should count is what you have in front of you...which you three unless.

im curious too.

my interview is coming up. anything can happen.

good day.

I'm surprised they'd count an un-concieved child, I wonder if that's more a misunderstanding of some sort or an actual policy.

The bit about not mentioning an intention to work seems strange, it sounds like great advice for someone getting a visitors visa where there is no legal option to work, but for a k-1 visa... that's the start of a life together, and most people will work, I'd be more suspicious if someone planned to come to the US and expected not to work! I guess the real question is how it's asked though, the most immediate thing is of course to get married, but obviously someone will eventually get around to seeing at least some of america and wanting to be able to work sooner or later.

This is REALLY scary! Because I filled up a DS form saying that I do intend to work. So, how would I answer the CO if he asks me that..? Any suggestions? Ipractice ko na yung line before my interview sa Jan 9.. Hehe

The problem with this, I assume, is the fact that beneficiaries seem to be treated like catttle, or just some piece of furniture the USC wants to import. Of course most of us will work, and most of us actually have been doing that all this time (wherever we are from), but it's apparently assumed that once we get into the US, we'll become leeches and any and all our knowledge and experience will get somehow erased. =/

[RadzNSteve 0]

That seems strange to me also, I dont understand, if you want to get married it seems having a child is just another step in your relationship. To be honest I dont understand that, and cant understand how they could count that against you.

[STEPHnRIA 2]

Me too, I find it strange that its a no no to mention kids and work during interview. You are applying for fiancee visa for heaven's sake. Don't you talk about future plans like having kids and money matters before getting married??? I dont believe the consul doesnt want to hear your fiancee wants to work. The consul wants to hear from your fiancee that worse comes to worst, your fiancee will help you with financial matters and not just sit and watch you kill yourself by working for the family or be a public burden. That's all. Just give what they want.

By the way, I put yes on the question if I intend to work on DS156.
